Unit 1

Women of achievement

The first period: Warming up and reading The rules concluded in the earlier unit can be applied here to identify great women. Students should be encouraged to discuss what these great women did was useful for other people, and what problems they had to overcome or what they had to give up to achieve these ambitions.

Important points: let students learn about great women and their achievements in different fields in the world, and get students to read the passage and learn different reading skills. Difficult points: how to develop students` reading skills and talk about women of achievement. Knowledge aims: get students to learn useful new words and expressions: achievements, welfare, project, institute, specialist, connection, campaign, organization, behave, behavior, shade, worthwhile, nest, bond, observe, observation, childhood, outspoken, respect, argue, argument, entertainment, crowd, inspire, support, human beings, move off, lead a ….. life, crowd in

Step 1 Leading in Have a free talk with students. Ask them the following questions:

1) Do you know any great people or important people?

2) What makes a great person? (clever, brave, determined, confident, hard-working, unselfish, kind, generous. )

Step 2 warming up 1. Show some pictures of women for students to guess who they are and then talk about them. 1). Joan of Arc (1412-1431), France She was born in France, a girl from the countryside who dressed as a man and went to fight for the French and to drive the English out of France. She was caught and put to death by the English. 2). Elizabeth Fry (1780-1845), Britain She was a Quaker. She helped improve prison conditions and gave prisoners work and education. Her work helped the Quakers get the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947. 3). Song Qingling (1893-1981), China She was Dr Sun Yat-sun`s wife, was one of the top leaders in modern Chinese history. She concentrated herself with welfare projects, leading China Welfare Institute especially for women and children. 4). Lin Qiaozhi (1901-1983), China She was a Chinese, a doctor who became a specialist in women`s illness. She devoted all her life to medical work for Chinese women and children. Her work encouraged many other women to become doctors.

5). Jane Goodall (1934- ), Britain As a young girl, she always wanted to study animals. She went to Africa and studied chimps. Her research showed the connections between chimps(猩猩) and human beings. She works to protect chimps everywhere.

6). Jody William (1950- ),USA She is American. She helped found an international campaign to stop the use of landmines. She worked hard to make as many countries as possible agree not to use them. She and her organization were given the Noble Peace Prize in 1997.

2. Let students read the following and examine the six women using the rules about what makes a great woman. Name

Elizabeth To help improve She was criticized for Less time was spent Fry prison conditions neglecting her family with her husband and and enjoying fame. family Song To work for civil Her relatives had After her husband Qingling rights, democracy political opinions died, she lived alone completely different from hers Lin Qiaozhi To help women Women had greater She never got and children with difficulties getting into married or had a their illness and medical college and family of her own health

3. Have a discussion in pairs what they have in common and what makes them great and give their reasons. For reference: As great women, they don`t care for themselves at all, and at some point or rather, they must give some sacrifices, just like Lin Qiaozhi, she devoted all her life to medical work for Chinese women and children and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead, she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered to

their mothers. Not all people can do this. Once they have chosen their careers, they would carry on with them without any withdrawal. What they did is encouraging thousands of people to continue their careers. Those who are only famous but not great can`t matched.

Step 3 Pre-leading Ask students to answer some questions to lead in the new text. What do you think Jane Goodall went to Africa to study chimps rather than to university? Do you think she is right? Give some reasons. After a glance the title, what do you think the passage is about? Where doo you think the photos were taken? What do you think of when you see the pictures?

What did Jane have to give up when she went to live in the forest? Do you thin it is important to study chimps in the wild rather than in the zoo? Do you think you will go if you are asked to study animals in the wild? Why or why not?

4. Help students analyze some long, difficult sentences and guess the meaning of some new words and expressions according to the text: achievements, welfare, project, institute, specialist, connection, campaign, organization, behave, behavior, shade, worthwhile, nest, bond, observe, observation, childhood, outspoken, respect, argue, argument, entertainment, crowd, inspire, support, human beings, move off, lead a ….. life, crowd in

5. 根据课文内容填空

Step 5 Consolidation Some questions for them to answer: Did you think the reading interesting? Who do you think was telling the story? Would you prefer that it was written by Jane? Why?

Step 6 Closing down by discussing Let students discuss the following questions: 1). What should we learn from Jane Goodall? 2). What made her a great success? 3). What do you think is the best way to protect the wildlife? For reference: (Wisdom and courage; deeply love for the animals; her consideration; her hard work. We think there are two points that made her successful. One is her way to study chimps, and the other is her true love for the animals. The first one is facile, because it is only a way. Everyone can do it. But for the second one, it is more easily said than done. As a woman, she gave up everything, went to the forest to study the chimps and devoted all her love to these animals. It is really not easy. What we cannot understand is that how she has such a great personality. We should call for all the citizens to love animals, protect their living conditions, forbid hunters to kill them freely, build more natural reserves for them and we should not disturb them. The national wildlife protection parks shouldn`t be open to the tourists.

Step 7 Homework Learn the useful new words and expressions by heart. Read the reading passage again and try to write something about Jane Goodall.

1. More than________ of the workers________ from Paris. A. ten percents; is

B. ten percent; are

C. three times; was

D. percents ten; comes 命题意图：考查分数、百分数的表示法及此时的主谓一致，本题属四星级题。

知识依托：分数或百分数+of+名词做主语时，谓语与of后的名词在数上保持一致。

错解分析：解该题时易误选A，误把百分之十作为整体处理，而没有考虑到是百分之十多的工人。此时所指为复数概念。

解题方法与技巧：与此情况类似的是表示部分和一定数量的名词或代词做主语时，谓语动词也应与介词of后的名词保持数的一致。这些词有：

e.g.

(1) Most of the money has been wasted. (2) Every year, lots of damage is caused by fire. (1) Quantities of food are wasted every day. (2) Amounts of money were spent on this project. （这两个词的用法是主谓一致中的难点，同时也是常考点）答案：B 2. Not only I but also Mary and Jane ________ tired of having one examination after another.

A. is

B. are

C. am

D. be 知识依托：由not only…but also连接并列主语时，谓语与最靠近的主语保持一致。

错解分析：本题易误选C，易误认为I 为主语，而实际上决定谓语单复数的是由Jane and Mary决定，应用就近原则，故排除C，同理排除A。

解题方法与技巧：熟记要点：

在英语中，主谓一致有三个原则：语法一致的原则，语意一致的原则和就近原则。此题是就近原则，所以答案为B。

3. Nobody but you________ what he said A. agrees with

B. agrees out

C. agree with

D. agree to 命题意图：考查词组“同意……”和主语为nobody类的不定代词时，谓语单复数的确定

知识依托：主语为nobody时谓语动词用单数，如果主语被but, as well as, with等短语修饰，谓语仍与主语的数保持一致。

错题分析：该题易误选C、D，选D的原因在于词组记忆不清，用介词to

13

时之后应添加具体项目。而选择C就在于误把you作为主语对待了。而实际上nobody才是主语。答案：A 4. She is the only one among the ______writers who______ stories for children. A. woman; writes

B. women; write

C. women; writes

D. woman; write 命题意图：考查复合名词的单复数及从句中的主谓一致。本题属于五星级题。

知识依托：woman writer的复数为women writers，而定语从句中的谓语单复数是由先行词决定的，先行词为the only one。故答案为C。

错解分析：本题易误选B，误认为先行词为writers，而实际上由于one被the only修饰，故先行词是the only one，谓语应用单数。

解题方法与技巧：本题中我们可以了解，当考查定语从句中的谓语动词形式时，需首先分清楚所修饰的先行词是谁，单数还是复数概念，从而决定从句中谓语的单、复数形式。

eg. Mary is one of the students who were late for school. Mary is the only one of the students who was late for school. 答案：C ●锦囊妙计

1.主谓一致有个三原则：语法一致，意义一致和就近原则，无论哪一种，重要的是分清一个句子中，哪是主语，主语是单数还是复数，分清题目属于哪种一致的情况，然后确定谓语形式。这里我们简单总结一下主谓一致中常见的原则：

(1)and连接两个名词，但表同一事物，谓语用单数。

eg. The writer and singer is my best friend. (2)each、

either、

one、

the other及不定代词等作主语时，谓语常用复数。

eg. Everybody is here. (3)由连词or、either…or、neither…nor、not only…but also等连接并列主语时及there be句式，There be句式中谓语动词应用就近原则。

eg. Neither you nor I am to blame. (4)国名、人名、报纸名、书名等专有名词虽以-s结尾，形式上是复数，但谓语动词常用单数。

eg. The United States is a developed country.但以-s结尾的山脉、岛、瀑布等做主语时，谓语一般用复数。

eg. The philippiness lie to the southeast of China. (5)由each修饰的名词做主语，谓语用单数。

eg. Each student has an English-Chinese dictionary. They each have an English-Chinese dictionary. (6)表示时间、距离、钱、重量的名词做主语，若表示整体谓语用单数，但如强调具体数量，谓语则用复数。

eg. Five hundred miles is a long distance. Twenty years have passed since he began to work here.

14

(7)表示数量的one and a half后面要用复数名词做主语时，其谓语要用单数形式。

(8)定冠词the+形容词/分词表示一类人，谓语动词用复数。

(9)表示成双成套的名词，如trousers, shoes, glasses, compasses等用作主语时谓语用复数。

eg. His black trousers are too long.

2.高考中主谓一致的考查一般不会单独考查，常与时态、语态及句式（如倒装句）等相结合考查，此时如不能准确判断，不妨结合其他要点共同确定正确答案。

1. Plastics________ many other materials. A. has taken place of

B. has taken the place of

C. have taken place of

D. have taken the place of 2. The glass works ________in 1980. A. built
