Book 8 unit 3 Inventors and inventions教案

教学内容分析

本单元的中心话题是“发明家与发明”。具体涉及“发明与发现的区别”、“发明产生的过程”和“申请发明专利的条件”。语言技能和语言知识都是围绕“发明这一中心话题设计的”。

“热身”（Warming Up）部分为了帮助学生弄清发明和发现的区别，提供了三幅图画，要求学生小组开展讨论活动：1.讨论并描述出一些熟悉的现代发明，说明它们是如何改变人们的生活的。

2.讨论哪副图画是发明那幅图画是发现。3.列出发明和发现的标准。 “读前”( Pre-reading) 提供了发明家为了让其发明得到认可所必须通过的六个程序。要求学生调整其先后顺序来预测一项发明产生的过程，然后阅读短文并检验这个过程是否正确。

“阅读”( Reading )材料是一篇记叙文。故事讲的是一女孩如何通过多次尝试，最后成功地把在她母亲家院子里安家的一窝蛇捉住并放归大自然的，她的捕蛇技术事情了发明专利。文章也提到了申请专利的标准。

“理解”( Comprehending )部分设计了一些问题，检查学生对文章中事实性细节的理解与掌握，并讨论获得专利的好处，从而了解申请专利的意义。

“语言应用”( Using Language)部分介绍了电话发明家亚历山大.格雷厄日姆.贝尔以及当今英国发明家詹姆斯.戴森的故事，并通过操练打电话和写求职信进一步训练学生的说和写的能力。

本单元所涉及的要点是：

1、了解、弄清发明和发现的区别。

2、掌握本单元教学目的和要求中的词汇和短语的用法

3、熟练掌握过去分词做定语、表语和宾语补足语的用法。

4、进一步熟悉打电话用语和书信格式，并学会写求职信。

Predicative and Object ,Complement ，

复习过去分词作定语，表语及宾语补足语用法

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：

11

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。 位置：

(1)前置定语：单个的动词-ed形式,一般放在被修的名词的前面, 作前置定语。 The excited people rushed into building. (=the people who were excited) 激动的人们冲进大楼。

Lost time can never be found again．(=time which is lost) 虚度的时光, 无法挽回。 (2)后置定语：

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。

1. Is there anything planned for tonight? 今晚有什么活动吗? (=That has been planned for tonight) 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) 练习：高考链接

1)Most of the artists A to the party were from South Africa. A.invited B. to invite C.being invited D. had been invited 2) The first text books D for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 16th century. A. having written B.to be written C. being written D. written 3) The Olympic games, C in 776 BC, didn't include women players until 1912. A. first playing B. to be first played C. first played D. to be first playing 4) Prices of daily foods B through a computer can be lower than prices in stores. A. are bought B. bought C. been bought D. buying 5) Mr. Smith, __A__ of the speech, started to read a ____ novel. A. tired, boring B. tiring, bored C. tired, bored D. tiring, boring 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)； delighted(高兴的)；

tired(疲劳的) broken(碎了的)；

lost(丢失的)；

pleased(高兴的)；closed(关闭的)； gone(遗失的)； satisfied(满意的)； astonished(吃惊的)；disappointed(失望的)；surprised(吃惊的); crowded(拥挤的)； worried(担忧的)； married(已婚的)； experienced(有经验的); interested(感兴趣的) known(著名的)

等等作表语的-ed形式可被much, very, quite等所修饰。

12

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。

6）Cleaning women in big cities usually get ___C_ by the hour. A. pay B. paying C. paid D. to pay 7) As we joined the big crowd I got _A___ from my friends. A. separated B. spared C. lost D. missed 8) The pilot asked all the passengers on board to remain __C__ as the plane was making a landing. A. seat B. seating C. seated D. to be seating 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。

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。

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。

(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。

(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 play 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。

With many brightly colored flowers planted around the building, his house looks like a beautiful garden． 周围种了许多色彩鲜艳的花, 他的房子看上就像一座漂亮的花园

◆短文改错中----------非谓动词语形式方面的错误

(1) Besides, the foreign teachers here work hard and try his best to make the activities lively and interested. (福建) 【解析】应把interested改为interesting。activities(活动)应该是“令人感兴趣”的才对，故此处要将interested改成interesting。

(2) I really enjoy study because I’m growing old and know what I want it. (陕西) 【解析】应把study改为studying。enjoy后通常接动名词而非不定式作宾语。

(3) My father was so pleasing that he suggested I go to England for a holiday. (全国卷I) 【解析】应把pleasing改为pleased。由于主语是my father，所以要用过去分词。

(4) I just want to thank you for helping me becoming a different person. (天津) 【解析】应把becoming改为become。help后不接动名词作宾语，而是接动词不定式作宾语。

(5) We’d better not to miss the chance to enjoy it. (重庆) 解析】应去掉not后面的to。had better后接不带to的不定式作宾语。

(6) …and will do all they can make sure that I get a good education.

【解析】应在make前加to，make在此处并非做谓语，而应该是不定式作目的状语，符号to不可省。

(7) But then there are always more mysteries look into. 【解析】应在look前加to，此处应该用不定式作定语，修饰mysteries，故look into前缺to。

(8) We are looking forward to see you on the birthday party. 【解析】短语look forward to中的to是介词，其后应接动名词，故应将see改为seeing。

(9) I’m sorry I keep you wait for a long time. I got caught in the traffic.

【解析】在任何情况下keep均和doing连用，如keep doing sth, keep sb(sth) doing sth, keep…from doing…等。

(10) I’d like to your pen friend, and get to know more about your country.

【解析】to后应加be。因为其后面是名词，而不是动词原形，所以不能直接用to。

(11).2012陕西 I also shared for my friends many photos taking in Beijing. 【解析】taking --------taken photos 与take之间是被动关系

14

(12). 2012浙江，Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil.

【解析】 Interested-------interesting 修饰物用现在分词

(13).2012,新课标Meanwhile, I found out that with more patience I must make my toys to last.

【解析】To 去掉。make后街不带to 的不定式做宾语补足语。

(14).2010新课标 On the box was a card say: “25cents each.”

【解析】Say ------saying 现在分词做定语，修饰card.

Language Points

1. He found that by pressing his lips against his mother’s forehead, he could make the bones move in such a way that she could understand what he was saying. 翻译 _____________________________________________________________________ 这是一个复合句。found后接了一个宾语从句; way后面接了由that引导的定语从句, 在这个定语从句中又包含了一个what引导的宾语从句。注意way作先行词, 后面的定语从句一般不用引导词, 也可用that/in which引导。

2. Every time you do you will be certain to find something that you have never seen before every time 意为“每次; 每当”, 此短语在句子中经常作连接

词, 引导时间状语从句。

Eg. Every time I listen to your advice, I will get into trouble. 归纳；可作连词引导时间状语从句的词，短语；

3. set out (to do sth.) set out to do sth. = set about doing sth. 开始（做某事）,着手干; 为某个目标而努力

他们正在着手干一项新的试验。
