Task 3 Listening

This section is meant to improve the students’ pronunciation. T: Good! You all have done a good job. Now I will play the tape for you, listen carefully and imitate the pronunciation. At the same time pay attention to the language points in the passage.

Task 4 Language points This step is to help the students understand the text, build their vocabulary and improve their abilities to put what they have learned into practice. After listening. T: Let’s look at the screen. I’ll explain some language points to you. (Show the slide). 1. To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems.

1) “to get rid of ...” is used to express the purpose.

2) “preventing landfill and environmental problems” is used to express the result.

3) load ... with: put a load on

e.g 1). We are loaded with too much homework.

2). The truck was loaded with oranges and it was heading north. 2. No smoking will be allowed within a future city’s limits. “Within a city’s limits”

means “within the permission of a future city”. 3. Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live. “no matter where they live” here is equal to “wherever they live” and it is used as adverbial. If “no matter where / what / how ...”

is not used as adverbial, it can’t be substituted by “wherever / whatever / however ...”

e.g 1) Whatever you say, I won’t believe you═No matter what you say, I won’t believe you. 2) Whoever comes in last should close the door.(∨)

No matter who comes in last should close the door.(×)

4. Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away, with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic.

“With”structure: with+ noun / pron + Participle / Infinitive / prep phrase / adj / adv e.g 1) I felt nervous, with him standing here. 2) With all the problems settled, he felt relaxed. 3) He is sure to succeed, with so many people to help him. 4) This is my first book, with the second to come out next month. 5) They all rushed out, with bags on their backs. 6) He sat there, with the door open.

Task 5 Practice This task includes Exercises 3-5, designed to help the students to have a deep understanding of the text and help them to build their vocabulary. Teachers can ask the students to do the exercises individually, then check their answers with their partners, at last with the whole class. T: Now that you have learned the text, let’s do some exercises to see how well you have understood the text and the words and expressions. Turn to Page 3 and let’s do the exercises here. Do the exercises on your own, and then check the answers with your partners. At last I’ll ask some of you to read out your answers. Suggested answers: Exercise 3: 1. disability

2. outdoors

3. solar

4. recreation 5. net

6. online

7. clinic 8. urban 9. mall

10. run out

11. surgery Exercise 4: arrest→criminals; carry out→operation; load→huge spaceship; recycle→natural resource; rely on→alternative energy; waste→material

Exercise 5: 1. a risky business

2. outpatient

3. get rid of

4. senior citizens

5. free of charge

6. landfill

Step Ⅳ

Discussion

The discussion is designed to develop the students’ imagination. Teachers can ask the students to discuss the questions in pairs and ask some students to tell the results of their discussions. T: There are some predictions made in the passage. Do you think all of them will come true? Ss: No, we don’t think all of them will come true. T: Well, let’s have a discussion in pairs and find out which prediction is the strangest or most useful. And which do you think will come true first and which last. After a few minutes. T: OK! I’d like to know the results of your discussions. Any volunteers? S1: I think “Forget smoking”

is most useful. People in the future will pay more attention to their health and lead a more comfortable life, but smoking is bad for their health, so smoking won’t be allowed. S2: I think the prediction about recreation is very useful. In that way people will enjoy a more happy and comfortable life. S3: I find the prediction about “Batman nets” very strange. How police will use it to catch criminals seems very strange. S4: I feel the prediction about telesurgery very strange. How will doctors diagnose illnesses for the patients?

S5: In my opinion, the prediction about cars will come true first, for now many motor cycles powered by electricity are on sale in shops, which is friendly to the environment, so they are very popular. S6: Personally, shopping online will come true first. Now computers are widely used and it is likely that people will do their shopping online. Going shopping will become a form of entertainment. S7: I believe the prediction about space travel will last come true. Because there is still a long way to go for us to develop space technology, and moreover the number of the people who is able to go on space travels is very limited. S8: I think the prediction about garage ships will come true last. After all, people produce much more garbage than the ships can carry to space, what’s more, space

technology needs further developing.

T: Well done! All of you have expressed yourselves fluently, and I think all of your opinions are reasonable.

Step Ⅴ

Summary and Homework Make a summary about the text and assign the homework. T: Today we’ve learned the passage about the city of the future. We believe the city in the future will be more beautiful and life in the future will be more comfortable. But all these need our hard work now. Only by hard work can we build a beautiful future. Let’s work hard for the beautiful future. And the homework for today is as follows:

1. Read the text fluently and pick out the sentences you appreciate. 2. Remember the words and phrases we learned here. 3. Write about the school of the future in about 60 words. 附件：(课文分析) Ⅰ. Moral Education Teachers make the students have a deep understanding of the text. Through the text teachers should stimulate the students’

imagination and make them dream of the beautiful future. Also, we teachers should enlighten them on their dreams. At last, teachers should make them fully realize the importance of protecting the environment and making full use of natural resources, the importance of hard work and right attitude towards work and call on them to work hard and build a beautiful future with joint efforts. II. Writing Techniques 1. Writing Characteristics The writer leads in the topic by beginning with a question sentence so as to arouse the interest of the readers. Then it tells about the situations about the future environment and natural resources. At last the writer shows the city of the future by giving an example of an experiment carried out

at a university in Texas about the predictions made by some students. After careful reading, it is not difficult for us to dream of the beautiful future and we can’t help thinking about what we should do to build the beautiful future.

2. The writing style

This text is a piece of expository writing. It begins with a question and mainly introduces some predictions made about the city of the future. The theme is in accordance with the students’ daily life. 3. The main idea This text reveals some predictions made by some students about the future of urban life, who were studying at a university in Texas in the USA. They think up the city of the future from the following aspects: garbage ships, the way for the police to arrest criminals, shopping, telephone number, recreation, smoking, cars, telesurgery, holidays at home and space travel.

Ⅲ. Writing purpose This text shows what the city will be like in the future. Reading it can stimulate the readers to dream of the beautiful future and give the reins to their imagination. The writer also implies the importance of protecting the environment and the natural resources. Also, it makes us realize that only by hard work can we turn our dreams into realities and build a beautiful future. 教学反思：通过本模块的学习，尤其是阅读课的学习。知道了如何运用正确的阅读方法来上好一堂阅读课。但同时学生们应加强词汇的学习，包括新单词，短语及句型的学习和运用，方能提高自己的阅读能力。希同学们应加强课后阅读。
