注

Task1.1)Do you know the stages every inventor must go through before they can have their invention approved? Inventing is a scientific activity and so follows similar stages to those used in scientific research. Look at the list and work out a suitable order. Applying for a patent

Finding a problem

Doing research

Testing the solution

Thinking of a creative solution

Deciding on the invention Answers: The suitable order:Finding a problem--Doing research ---Thinking of a creative solution---Testing the solution---Deciding on the invention--Applying for a patent Patent office (专利局) plays the role of deciding what is an invention and what is not. And only inventions can get patens and so be recognized and protected. 2)Among the inventions above, which invention do you think is the most important one? Why? What is an invention? An Invention is something that is created by a human being. Inventing is a scientific activity.

What is a discovery? A discovery merely makes known something that already existed in nature.

Step2.Researching cooperatively& answering questions(合作探究,

解决问题)

Task2. Detailed reading:(5m) Answer the following questions:

1.What was the mother upset about? 2.Why was the writer happy to help her mother? 3.What are the three creative steps that the writer takes to catch the snakes without hurting them? 4.Why did cooling make the snakes less active?+ 5.Discuss with your partner what the advantages might be of getting a patent. Suggested answers: 1.The mother was upset because a family of snakes had made their home near the house. 2.The writer was happy because it gave her an opportunity to help her mother and invent something to catch the snakes without hurting them at the same time. 3.Step 1: She bought a stainless steel ice cream maker and froze the bowl. She added ice cubes to the top of the bowl to keep it cold. She placed it over the snakes’ habitat during the day so that the snakes would become sleepy and could be easily caught. Step 2: As above she did the same but placed the bowls over the snakes’ habitat in the evening. Step 3: As above but added a net to catch the snakes. 4.Snakes do not have a way of keeping warm in their bodies. They get warmth from the sun and become more active at this time. When the sun goes down at night they cool down and become less active. So extra cooling to the snake would make them even less active and easier to catch. 5.You are able to prove that you are the first person to make the invention; You are recognized as a real inventor; You can make money if you sell your invention to others.

Step4.Summing &chewing,

summarizing knowledge（总结反刍

，知识梳理）Task6.Match the different writing characteristics with each writing styles:(3m)

Formal language with few adjectives, not emotional, factual---Report Vivid use of words with similes and metaphors, emotional to describe atmosphere, not factual but imaginative---Description

Not use vivid or emotive language and sticks to the facts. It is clearly set out and follows the framework for the inventing process---Recount Vivid use of language and more informal style, imaginative but can be based on fact ---Creative writing/ story

Step5.Testing in class & improving skills（随堂检测，落实考点）

Task7.Discussion:(5m) 1.

What’s the writing purpose of the writer? 2.

一、动词-ed形式作定语

过去分词作定语往往与被修饰的词靠得很紧, 渐渐地成为一个复合词。这种分词叫分词形容词

(the Participle Adjective), 实际上相当于一个单纯的形容词, 除表示“完成”的动作之外, 还表示“被动”的意义。如：

spoken English (英语口语)；iced beer (冰冻啤酒)；cooked food (熟食);

fried chips (炸土豆条); 但要注意不及物动词的过去分词常表示“完成”的动作, 而不表示“被动”意义。如: boiled water(开水); fallen leaves(落叶) ; the risen sun(升起的太阳)等。

1. The tall man is a returned student．高个子的那个人是个归国留学生。

2. My parents are both retired teachers．

我的父母都是退休教师。

(1)前置定语

单个的动词-ed形式,一般放在被修饰的名词的前面, 作前置定语。

The excited people rushed into building.

激动的人们冲进大楼。

(=the people who were excited)

Lost time can never be found again．虚度的时光, 无法挽回。

(=time which is lost)

(2)后置定语

①少数单个动词的-ed形式, 如left等, 只能作后置定语。

1. Everything used should be marked．所有用过的东西应该做好标记。

2. Among the invited were some ladies．被邀请的人中, 有些是女士。

3. The books left are for my students．剩下的书是给我的学生的。

②

动词-ed形式短语作定语时, 通常要放在被修饰的名词的后面, 在意思上相当

于一个定语从句。及物动词的过去分词作定语用来表示被动,可改为带被动语态的定语从句;不及物动词的过去分词(仅限于单个过去分词,且不能后置)则表示完成,可改为带有完成时态的定语从句。

1. Is there anything planned for tonight? (=that has been planned for tonight) 今晚有什么活动吗?

2. The meeting, attended by a lot of people, was a success．

这次会议有很多人出席, 开得很成功。(=which was attended by a lot of people) 3.We drank some boiled water

(=which had boiled )and went on with

our work.

我们喝了一些开水后就继续工作。

注意: 这里的过去分词的逻辑主语应是被修饰的词, 改为定语从句时关系代词应与之一致。

二、动词-ed形式作表语

过去分词作表语并无“完成”或“被动”之意，而是表示主语的状态或思想感情等。如：

He looked worried after reading the letter．看完信后, 他显得很忧虑。

When we heard of it, we were deeply moved．当我们听到这件事时, 被深深地感动了。

He seemed quite delighted at the idea．

听到这个想法, 他似乎很高兴。

常见的作表语的过去分词有: amused(愉快的)；broken(碎了的)；closed(关闭的)；astonished(吃惊的)；crowded(拥挤的)；

experienced(有经验的); delighted(高兴的)；

lost(丢失的)；gone(遗失的)；disappointed(失望的)；worried(担忧的)；

interested(感兴趣的) tired(疲劳的)

pleased(高兴的)；satisfied(满意的)；surprised(吃惊的); married(已婚的)；known(著名的)

等等

作表语的-ed形式可被much, very, quite等所修饰。

I was very pleased at the news．听了这消息我很高兴。

He grew much tired of the work．他十分厌倦这工作。

He seemed quite delighted at the idea.听了这想法他似乎很高兴。

三、动词-ed形式作宾语补足语

能用作宾语补足语的过去分词一般都是及物动词,表示被动意义或已完成意义,有时候两者兼而有之。作宾语补足语的过去分词与宾语有逻辑上的动宾关系,即宾语是过去分词动作的对象。

She found the door broken in when she came back．

她回来时发现有人破门而人。

My grandfather had his old house rebuilt．我爷爷找人重修了一下他的旧房子。

Will you please make yourself heard to us, please?

请你大声点让我们都听到你说的话, 好吗？

少数不及物动词的过去分词用作宾补时, 强调动作完成后的状态. They found all the guests gone when they woke up.当他们醒来时, 发现所有的客人都走了。

动词-ed形式作宾语补足语的基本用法

动词的-ed形式可以在“主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语”句型中充当宾语补足语。在这一结构中, 动词-ed形式和它前面的宾语构成逻辑上的被动关系。如果这种句子改为被动语态,原来的宾语补足语变成了主语补足语。

1. I must get my bike repaired．

我必须请人修理自行车。(宾语补足语) 2. The girl was found beaten black and blue．人们发现那女孩被打得青一块紫一块。

(主语补足语)

(1)动词-ed形式可作表示感觉和心理状态的动词的宾语补足语,这类动词包括see, hear, watch, notice, feel, find, think, suppose, consider等。

We thought the game lost．我们认为球赛输了。

I have never heard him spoken ill of others. 我从未听过有人说他的坏话。

She felt a great weight taken off her mind．

她觉得心里轻松了些。

They considered the matter settled．他们认为这问题解决了。

(2) 动词-ed形式可作使役动词的宾语补足语, 这类动词包括make, get, have,

keep, leave, hold等。

I have my hair cut once a month．我每个月理一次发。

He was trying to make himself understood．

他正努力使别人听懂自己。

She held her hands pressed against her face.她用双手按着脸。

Have+宾语+done结构：

①

(请人)把某事做完。

She had her house repaired．她请人把屋子修好了。

Where did you have your hair cut?你在哪儿理的发?

②遭遇某种意外情况。

He had his hat blown away on his way home．在回家的路上他的帽子被吹掉了。

She had her wallet stolen yesterday. 昨天她的钱包被偷了。

③

完成某事

(自己也可能参与)。

I have had all my spelling mistakes corrected．

我把所有的拼写错误都改正了。

He has had one thousand yuan saved this year．

他今年已存了1000元。

(3) 动词-ed形式可作表示希望、要求、命令等动词的宾语补足语，这类动词包括like，want, wish, expect, order等”这一类动词的后面作宾语补足语。

He won’t like such questions discussed at the meeting．

他不喜欢在会议上讨论这样的问题。

The students wish the TV serial plays continued．

学生们希望电视连续剧继续播下去。

(4) 过去分词用在“with+宾语+宾补”这一结构中, 过去分词与宾语之间是动宾关系。

The thief was brought in with his hands tied behind his back.

小偷被带进来了, 双手被反绑在后面。

Assessment & Homework（课堂评价，布置学案）

Task1. Do the following exercises. 1. Before driving into the city, you are required to get your car ____.【2012四川卷】

A. washed

B. wash

C. washing

D. to wash 【答案与解析】

A

本题考查非谓语动词。考查过去分词作宾语补足语。此题中使役动词get后接的宾语car与作宾语补足语的动词wash之间为被动关系，构成短语：get sth. done。故答案选A。句意为：在驱车进城之前，你必须将你的车洗了。

2. After completing and signing it, please return the form to us in the envelope ________. 【2012山东卷】A. providing

B. provided

C. having provided

D. provide 【答案】B【解析】此处动词provide与其逻辑主语envelope之间是被动关系，在句中作定语，相当于which is provided。句意为：完成并签名后，请把表格放入我们提供的信封内送回。

3. "It's a such nice place," Mother said as she sat at the table________ for customs. 【2012浙江卷】A. to be reserved

B. Living reserved

C. reserving D. reserved 【答案】D.【解析】reserve和谓语动词sat之间没有连词，故用非谓语，且和其逻辑主语the table逻辑上构成被动关系，故用过去分词表示被动、完成的概念，在句子中做后置定语。
