Unit Five Tom Sawyer paints the fence
教材分析以及学情分析:
本篇课文取自于马克吐温的著名小说《汤姆索亚历险记》,主课文部分节选了其中一段汤姆索亚利用了自己的智慧完成了非常苛刻的任务,读来充满了故事性,童趣和智慧,非常容易理解。而作为初中科文中为数不多的名著简译本的节选,通过学习课文不但使学生掌握了文章中的语言知识点,也唤起了他们对名著阅读的兴趣。听力部分配合课文简要介绍了马克吐温的生平,使学生在原来的基础上进一步提高了文学修养,也学会了在听力练习的过程中如何更好地抓住重要的信息。而之后的Speaking, Language, More Practice等部分无不围绕名著阅读者以主题展开,有富有情趣的片断以及引出的相关讨论,令学生在学习英语的同时能领略到经典名著的博大精深,同时结合自己的情况有所感悟,真正体现新课标和两纲精神的结合。

Adjective clauses and adjective phrases
Adjective clauses have a relative pronoun and a verb , buy adjective phrase do not. When an adjective clause contain the verb be, we can often replace the clause with an adjective phrase.
e.g. She is the next person who is in the bus queue.
= She is the next person in the b us queue.
Notes:
In the adjective clauses above, we can delete the relative pronouns and the verb be to make adjective phrases. However, we cannot use an adjective phrase when the verb be is followed by an adjective or adjectives only; instead, we put the adjective before the noun it describes.
(配合练习:GB EX.B)
Using the generic plural with adjective clauses
When we talk about tings in general, we often use the plural form of a countable noun + be + noun + adjectives.
e.g. Taxi- drivers are people who often work late.
