Unit 5 Traveling abroad

I 教学内容分析

本单元的中心话题是“出国旅游”。

Warming Up 部分通过四个由远到近的问题，一步一步地把学生们的思维引入到“旅游”这个当今非常时尚的话题。在繁重的学习压力之下，同学们一定非常向往出去兜风。所以，该话题会让学生们兴趣盎然，欣然畅想旅游的国家、旅游的目的、旅游的计划等等从而达到热身的目的。

Pre-reading

部分提出了两个问题：1．在国外学习的优势和劣势是什么？2．读一篇杂志上报道的关于一个中国女孩的国外学习经历的文章，猜想她可能遇到的文化差异与困难。这一部分提供了五幅照片帮助同学们猜想，这样就把“热身”部分的问题具体化了。同学会自然结合自己的所见所闻，发表观点，为阅读正文打下了基础。

Reading

部分描写了中国21岁的小姑娘谢蕾出国上学的经历，具体写了她出国前的不安，到了国外后的不适应，以及生活上的不习惯和学习方法及思维方式的冲突。但经过她的努力，她克服了这一切，并开始了崭新的生活。谢蕾的经历会给同学们带来挑战新生活的信心，感受到“出国旅游”的气息。

Learning about Language 有词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分：第一个练习让学生用课文中的词语完成句子。第二个练习是真对构词法的练习，要求学生学习和运用同根词。语法部分：复习非限制性定语从句。

Using Language 该部分包括“听力”、“读和说”和“写作”三大块。这三部分的话题都是有关旅游的。问题的设计由浅入深，层层递进，既练习了听力又增长了知识，丰富了本单元的内容。

When she was homesick, she could find comfort in the host family. She thought it was important to have a balance between study and social life, so she was eager to meet people with whom she has things in common in the clubs.

We should learn from her and learn to be independent. We should also realize that one ought to have a big aim in his/ her life and have the determination to make his/ her dream come true.

Grammar

Purpose: To get Ss to know the difference between restrictive attributive clauses and non-restrictive clauses. 1. Explain the grammar point for Ss.

非限制性定语从句

1．限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句限制性定语从句对先行词起限制作用，如果省去，主句意思就不完整；非限制性定语从句与主句的关系不十分密切，只能对修饰的成分起补充说明的作用，如果省去，不影响主句的意思。非限制性定语从句与主句之间常用逗号隔开。

The film which was shown just now is very exciting．刚放映的电影非常精彩。

We saw an exciting film, which is about how people fight against pollution．我们看了一场精彩的电影，它讲的是人们怎样与污染做斗争。

[注意] 非限制性定语从句除不能用that引导，其他引导词都行。

2．常用的非限制性定语从句的构成

(1)用which，who，whom, where，when等引导。

Tom’s father, who is over sixty, still works hard day and night. 汤姆的爸爸，已经60多岁了，依然日夜的工作。

(2)用as，which引导的非限制性定语从句。as从句可在句首、句末，which从句只在句末。as有“正如”之意，而which没此意。as／which都可以代表整个主句的内容。As We have seen，oceans cover more than 70 percent of the earth．正如我们所看到的，海洋占地球面积的70%以上。

(3)由“介词短语十关系代词”引导的定语从句，语序要用倒装。

The army reached a hill，On the top of which stood a temple．部队到了一座小山，山顶上有一座庙。

(4)“名词／代词十+关系代词(指人用whom，指物用which)”引导。

It was carved in the rock and had on the outside four large stone figures，each of which was 20 metres high．它是被雕刻在岩石上的，而且在外面有4个大的石头雕塑，每一个雕塑有20米高。
