教材分析

本单元的中心话题是“农业”，

学生通过讨论和阅读了解有关农业、农村和农作物种植的内容。让学生了解农业在整个人类生活中的重要性，了解农村生活，了解中国农民的生活现状，提高他们对农业的认识，并且帮助他们更深刻地理解农业科学家袁隆平的科学研究的价值。同时让学生了解organic farming 以及它对人们生活的重要性，进一步扩大学生的关于农业方面的词汇量，并通过写一则海报提高学生的写作水平。

1.1 WARMING-UP 通过提问有关农业、农村和农作物种植的内容，让学生谈谈自己对农村和农业劳动的认识或经验。教师可通过讨论让学生互相学习，相互交流经验以增加他们的农业知识。

1.2 PRE-READING 部分有两组问题。在第一组问题中，讨论大米在东亚和东南亚国家人民生活中的重要性；而第二组问题则提出世界部分地区所面临的饥饿问题。由此激发学生对世界的关注，培养学生的同情心。

1.3 READING 部分介绍中国著名的农业科学家袁隆平的生平和他的杂交水稻。第一段描述了袁博士的外表——他更象一个农民而不象一个科学家，农村就是他做科研的殿堂。他的科研成果就是超级杂交水稻。

第二段描述他的家庭出身，学业，献身水稻科研的原因及所取得的成就。第三段告诉我们袁博士过着跟普通人一样的生活却干着伟大的事业。即使在功成名就之后，他也淡泊名利, 有着无私奉献的高尚精神。

1.4 COMPREHENDING 部分设计了三个练习。第一个是判断练习，学生根据课文中理解和收集的信息做出判断，甚至通过讨论才能做出判断。第二个是词语理解题。第三个练习提出问题，要求学生在阅读课文后作出回答,以检验他们的理解力和训练他们的归纳总结能力。

1.5 LEARNING ABOUT LANGUAGE 部分学习本单元重点词汇和语法项目。词语学习部分采用给出词义而让学生从课文中找出与之匹配的词，然后用所找的词汇完成第二个练习中的短文，以及用课文中意义相近的词汇替换练习三句中划线部分。通过这三种练习帮助学生理解并能熟练应用课文中所学的词汇。语法部分通过从课文中找同义句引出动词的-ing 形式，教师此时可引导学生找出其他的句子，以启发学生理解-ing形式的句法功能。练习二通过模仿例句，用-ing形式做主语代替动词不定式改写句子。练习三要求学生连接短语造句，让学生学习-ing形式作宾语的用法，并列举后面接动词-ing形式作宾语的动词。练习四则训练学生v-ing形式在实际生活中的应用能力。练习五则设计了一个游戏以丰富学生的想象力。

1.6 USING LANGUAGE 部分综合训练学生的听说读写能力。第一部分读写结合，学生先阅读文章，文章写的是

Organic Farming or green food,读完后要求学生写一个摘要。在此教师要首先强调写摘要时学生一定要抓住文章的主题并且运用所学的重要词语。听力部分通过回答问题来提高学生的理解能力和理解的正确性。Reading, speaking and writing 部分把读，说和写有机地结合在一起。假设你是一个“绿色食品” farmer，通过背景阅读，你要有充分的理由，利用所提供的句型，以对话的形式说服他人购买你的食品。最后为你的食品设计一个有说服力的广告。

1.7 SUMMING UP部分要求学生归纳总结本单元内容、词汇和语法结构三个方面。

1.8

LEARNING TIPS 部分对如何提高表达能力提出建议。

2. 教材重组

2．1 把Warming up 和Pre-reading 作为reading 的导入内容，将这三部分与Comprehending整合成一节阅读课。

2.2 将

Learning about Language on Page 11, USING STRUCTURES (P50)设计成一节词汇和语法课。

2.3 将

Using Language 中的

Reading 和

Step Ⅰ Greeting and leading in T: Hello, everyone. Ss: Hello, teacher. T: In last unit we learnt some great women. Today we’ll learn a famous man. Who will it be? At first let’s look at the two pictures on Page 9. What are the people doing?

Ss: They are planting rice.

T: Can you tell me something about rice? S: Rice grows in the south. S: But in some place of the north we can also find rice. T: Yeah. You are right. In fact rice is a cereal grain that has been grown for at least 5,000 years and is eaten by 2.4 billion people everyday throughout the world. In Australia, farmers have had to struggle with their harsh environment to grow rice. Ss: Really? Step Ⅱ Warming up T: Have you ever grown any plants? If so, what did you do to grow them? If not, what kind of plant would you like to grow? How will you grow it? S: I have ever grown corn and potatoes. In autumn, my father and I ploughed the soil deep for the first time, then in the next spring, we ploughed the soil for a second time, this time I put the corn seeds into the tunnel following my father. Finally my father covered the corn seeds by ploughing again. S: I never grow any plant. I’d like to plant sunflowers. They look beautiful. They always face the sun when they are young. I dig some holes in my garden, put some sunflower seeds in them, water them and finally cover them with some more soil. T: Very well. Have you ever been to the countryside? What did you do there? S5: Yes, I went there to see my grandfather. In the village I played with other boys in the little stream and caught little fish. I even helped my grandfather get in the corn by cutting the corn stems, which made me tired. T: Are you from a farmer’s family? What do you know about farming?

S: Yes, my father is a farmer. In my view, farming is hard work. People have to plant crops, smooth away weeds and get in the crops at the right time. They have to get up early to work in the field so as to protect themselves from the sunshine. T: That’s right. In the north, the biggest worry that farmers have is the drought. When it doesn’t rain, and they can’t irrigate the crops, the crops will die and they will have nothing after hard working.

Step Ⅲ

Pre-reading

The purpose of this step is to let students know the importance of rice. By answering the two questions, students can easily understand why we call Dr Yuan Longping a 第

pioneer for all people, and why

he devotes all his life to the rice research.

T: Food is the basic need for man. Rice is a main food in all Eastern Asian and Southeastern Asian countries. It is said that there are 2.4 billion people to eat rice everyday throughout the world. What do you think would happen if tomorrow there was suddenly no rice to eat? S: I think if that happened, people there would suffer from starvation. They would be panic and the whole country would get into trouble. Maybe the situation that human beings eat human beings will happen. T: That’s too terrible. But this kind of thing once happened in history. Well, if you had the chance to do one thing to help end famine in the world, what would you do?

S: I would invent a new kind of plant to produce more food. S:

I’ll make a kind of fertilizer to give rice enough nutrition and let them grow quickly and have high product. But first without pollution to our environment. T: A great idea! Your idea is just the same with Dr Yuan Longping. Do you know Yuan Longping? S: I heard that he is an expert on agriculture. T: Yeah, today we are going to read a passage about him. Let’s see how he helped the world to solve the problem- starvation. Please open your books to Page 9.

Step Ⅳ

Fast Reading The reading material is about an agricultural pioneer named Yuan Longping who worked hard at a new strain of rice. It has proved so successful that his technology

spread into other countries. The purpose of fast reading is to let students find some useful information, and get familiar with the text. So in this step, teacher can design some questions for students, so that they can easily find the answers and finish the reading task. T: Please scan the passage and find out the answers to the questions on the screen. Then I’d like to ask you to answer them.

Show the questions on the screen and give students three minutes to read the text quickly. 1. Why did Yuan Longping want to increase the rice output when he was young? 2. Is Dr Yuan more of a scientist or more of a farmer? Do you think he is a businessman?

3. How would you describe Dr Yuan’s personality? Use three or four adjectives.

4. What do you think is the main reason for his success? 5. Dr Yuan thinks that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

6. Dr Yuan developed super hybrid rice to help Chinese farmers and hungry people around the world. Can you think of any other major development that would make a great difference to world hunger?

Besides, I’d like you to think: even if Dr Yuan’s dreams come true, can this really solve the starvation? Why? This is the homework. Think it over. Next time I’ll ask some of you to give your opinion in the class. Another one is to finish the exercises in Learning about Language. Exercise 1, 2 and 3 are about useful words and expressions. Finish them. Next time we’ll check the answers. Ok, class is over. See you next time.

Step Ⅰ Greeting and revision

T: Morning, boys and girls! Do you still remember the poem I gave you last time? Ss: Yeah! T: Who’d like to recite it to the whole class?

S1: Me. Listen! 心平何劳持戒，行直何用修禅，恩则孝养父母，义则上下相怜。让则尊卑和睦，忍则众恶无喧。若能钻木取火，淤泥定生红莲。

T：Very good! Thank you. I think knowledge is important. But wisdom is more important. If a person only knows how to invent and creat something, but doesn’t think over whether his inventions can bring people the true happiness; or he only does thing for his or his group’s interest. Moreover, sometimes what he made can do harm to society, then he will be the most dangerous person in the world. The poem above is very easy to understand. If you do things as it tells us, you can turn out to be a wise man who will bring the world the happiness.

Well, today we are going to do some reading. Please turn to Page 13. We’ll read this material first.

Step Ⅱ Reading There are three tasks in this step. First, teacher can ask students to read the articles one paragraph by one paragraph. Ask them some questions about these passages. There are three paragraphs in the article. In each passage, there are one or two questions. When students finish these questions, they will find that the structure of the text has turned up. T: Wonderful! Homework check is over. In the last two periods we talked about agriculture. As people’s living condition improves, more and more people are concerned about what they eat. In fact more and more people become worried about the quality of the food they eat. Because more and more farmers use chemical fertilizer instead of natural waste from animals and they use poison to kill insects to protect their plants. So people now all want to eat green food which does no harm to their health. They are more concerned about organic farming. Now let’s read the text and know something about organic farming. Task 1: Questions about the text. Show the questions on the screen: 第

10 页

共

11 页

1. What is the organic farming? 2. What is the advantage of using natural fertilizer? 3. What is the disadvantage of using chemical fertilizers? 4. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?

5. Why do farmers grow their crops in such ways?

T: Boys and girls, today we’ll read the text one paragraph by one paragraph. Now please read the first paragraph quickly, and find the answer to the first question: what is the organic farming? S1: Organic farming refers to crops growing with natural rather than chemical fertilizers. T: Good. Now read the second paragraph quickly and find the answer to this question: what are the advantage of using natural fertilizer? S2: Make the soil richer in minerals and so more fertile. T: anything else? S3: Reduce diseases in crops and help them grow strong and healthy. Besides, keep the air, soil and water as well as the food supply free from chemical.

T: What is the disadvantage of using chemical fertilizers? S4: Let me answer it. There are three disadvantages. Firstly, leaving chemicals in the ground for a long time is not good for the soil or the water supply. Secondly, farmers often grow the same crop year after year. As a result, the soil gets exhausted. Thirdly, chemical fertilizers kill both helpful and harmful bacteria and pests.

Main idea of the passage Chemical fertilizers can cause many problems, so organic farming is becoming

more popular.

Structure of the text I

using chemical fertilizers for a long time can hurt the land and also people’s health

II Problem caused by chemical fertilizers 1. Damage the land by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones 2. Lead to cancer or other illness. 3. Food grown with chemical fertilizers look beautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals. Ⅲ

Organic farming is becoming more popular with some farmers and many customers after these discoveries came out.

IV Other methods to keep the soil fertile.
