四、教学过程
Step 1Warm up and revision(课堂热身和复习）
(1)Daily greetings to the Ss
(2) Revision
<设计意图>说明本单元的主要话题是问路， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )因此从复习地点名词入手，进而自然的过渡到本单元的话题，这样以旧带新能帮助学生扩展思维。让学生积极主动的投入到英语学习中来,也为下一步铺垫。
Step2 Presentation(呈现新知识）
(1)Preesent the new words
Show pictures of di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fferent places and help Ss to understand the new words.
（2）Explain preposition ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of place to Ss using the pictures of the mouse and the ball.
<设计意图> 首先，磨刀不误砍 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )柴工，读会单词，帮助学生们解决语音问题，可以让后面的课上得更加的流畅，达到事半功倍的效果。其次，图片教学法是呈现新知识最简单有效的方法之一，学生通过图片，能更好的理解新单词的含义。
Step3 Work on 1a(完成1a）
(1)Match the words with the places in the picture.
(2)Talk about the picture with Ss using target languages.
<设计意图> 通过1a的练习，让学 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )生进一步学会运用新单词。图片较接近学生的生活，提高学生对本课所要学习的内容的兴趣。和学生一起谈论图片，目的在于引导学生学会使用地点提问的基本句型。为课本的学习奠定基础。
Step4Work on 1b(完成1b)
Listen and circle the places you hear in 1a.1.
<设计意图> 此环节着重是听 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )力训练。让学生在听对话的过程中抓住关键词汇，由于前面已做了一些训练，因此学生听起来比较容易，让他们都有一次成功的喜悦和感受，这样可以增强他们的学习自信心。
Step5 Drill (练习)
Ask some Ss to repeat the conversation and change the words used.
(第一轮应提问成绩较好的学生，第二轮提问成绩较差的学生)
<设计意图>此环节为机械操练，使不同层次学生 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )初步掌握目标语言。机械操练是英语初始阶段教学必不可缺的部分，学生要先从模仿到初步掌握，最后才能熟练应用。机械操练时应注意着重提问成绩较差的学生，由于机械操练比较简单，因此是激发后进生兴趣，培养后进生自信的一个很好的途径。
Step6 Pair work（完成1c）
（1）Have Ss get into p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )airs and practice the conversation with their partner. Then have them ask and answer questions about the other places in 1a..
(2) Have some pairs present their conversations to the class.
<设计意图>此环节是让学生运用所学句型来进行操练，有利于巩固所学句型。

next to 在邮局旁边 next to the post office
in front of 在医院前面 in front of the hospital
across from 在公园对面 across from the park
between… and … 在银行和旅馆之间 between the bank and the hotel
<设计意图> 由于方位介词短语是这个单元的重 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )难点，所以翻译练习可用来加深巩固理解，不仅再次巩固这一课的新单词，还为下面的两个听力任务打下基础。
Step8 Work on 2a & 2b (完成2a和2b)
(1) Match the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )entences with the pictures. Write each number in the box.
(2) Listen and fill in the blanks with the words in the box.
<设计意图>此环节进一步巩固了本堂课所学的词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )汇和句型。通过反复听读和逐一的配对图片可以让学生尽快熟悉生词。学生填表格，是检查学生能否听懂并拼写所学单词。

Step10 Summary 1 There be 句型
1. 某地有某物。 There is + a/an + n. + in the ….
There are + (some) + n.-s + in the ….
2. 某地没有某物。There isn’t + a/an + n. + in the ….
There aren’t + (any) + n.-s + in the ….
3.某地有某物吗 Is there + a/an + n. + in the …
Are there + (any) + n.-s + in the …
There be句型表示某地有某物或某人，是“存在”关系。
否定句就在be动词后加not, 疑问句就将be动词提到句首。
例如：
There is an orange in her bag.
→There isn’t an orange in her bag.
→There is no orange in her bag.
→ Is there an orange in her bag
Yes, there is. No, there isn’t.
There are some students in the classroom.
→ There aren’t any students in the classroom.
→ Are there any students in the classroom
Yes, there are. No, there aren’t.
1. There be 句型中be动词由后面名词的单复数决定，若是多个名词，则由最近一个名词决定。（就近原则）
There is a pen and two books on the table.
2. have/ has指 “某人有某物”，它表示“所属、拥有”关系。there have的句型不能用。
I have an eraser on the desk./ There is an eraser on the desk.
3.some 用于肯定句，any用于否定句和一般疑问句。
<设计意图>教师要引导学生们运用他们从实践中的感知来尝试归纳语言规律，然后再给以必要帮助。通过小组讨论的形式可获得更为准确的答案。）

3.公用电话在图书馆和医院之间。
4.宾馆在警察局后面，紧挨着公园。
<设计意图> There be 句型是初中阶段非常重要和实用的句型之一，同时也是本单元的核心句型，可以通过检测学生的学习情况，有助于以学定教。
Step12 Work on 2c （完成2c）
Have Ss get into g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roups and ask and answer questions about the places in 1a on page 43.
Where is the hospital

6. 讲解语言知识点：
1. across from 意为“在……对面”
e.g. The bank is across from our school.
银行就在我们学校对面。
We live across from the street. 我们住在街道的对面。
在英语中, “在……的对面”还可以用其他的短语
表示, 例如：
1) The bus stop is on the other side of the river.
汽车站在河对面。
2) The fruit shop is opposite the post office.
水果店在邮局对面。
2. in front of 意为“在……前面”（在某范围之外）
e.g. There is a car in front of the house.
在房子前有一辆小汽车。
【辨析】in the front of “在……前面”（在某范围之内）
e.g. There is a table in the front of the classroom.
在教室的前面有一张桌子。
中译英
1.在教室的前边没有教师.
2.在教室的前边没有树(tree).
3.在小汽车的前边有一位司机.
4.在小汽车的前边有一位学生.
5.我正站在你们的前边.
6.我正站在教室的前边.
3. next to 意为“紧靠着；紧挨着；贴近”
e.g. The little boy is next to his mother.
小男孩紧挨着他的母亲。
【辨析】next to与near的区别
从空间讲near 表示“在……附近”；而next to有“紧挨着”之意；next to比near靠的更近。
Peter sits next to Mike. 彼特紧挨着迈克坐。
Peter sits near Tom. 彼特坐在汤姆附近。
near 也有表示在某物的附近, 意为“靠近, 接近”。如：
The football is near the door. 足球在门旁边。
near 除了作介词表示方位外, 还可以作形容词，
意思是“近的, 不远的”, 其反义词是far, 意为“远的，
遥远的”。例如：
My home is not far from my school.我家离学校很近。
4. How can I help you 需要我帮忙吗？
表示向他人伸出援手，主动提出帮助的意思，此句还可说成：How can I help you 或How may I help you
类似的句子还有：
May I help you
Do you need any help
Is there anything I can help (you) with
What can I do for you
5. I’m new in town. 我新来此地。
town 表示所居住的地方或城市里的闹市区; 城里, 为不可数名词。
e.g. Is there a good place to eat here I’m from out of town.
这儿有吃饭的好地方吗？我对这里不熟。
6. between 介词, 表示“在……中间”, 常与and
连接, 构成短语。例如：
I sit between Lucy and Lily.
我坐在露西和莉莉中间。
among 也表示“在……中间”, 但是between
是指在两者之间, 而 among 是指在三者或
三者以上的中间。例如：
My brother is among those boys.
我哥哥在那群男孩中间。
7. Excuse me. 对不起，打扰了。
常用来表示打扰他人、不同意、迫不得已而失礼
时的道歉。例如：
Excuse me, may I borrow a pen, please
对不起, 我可以借支钢笔吗？
Excuse me, which is the way to the bus stop
对不起, 请问汽车站怎么走？
链接: “I’m sorry.” 也是“对不起”的意思, 但它常用于
做错了事之后或不能满足对方的要求时, 表示歉意。
如：May I come in, please I’m sorry I’m late.
请问我可以进来吗？对不起，我迟到了。
8. You’re welcome. 不客气, 不用谢。
这是当对方道谢时的回答语。
You’re 是You are 的缩略形式。例如：
--Thank you very much.
--You are welcome.
链接: 回答thank you的用语还有：
That’s all right. 不用谢。
That’s OK. 不用谢。
Not at all. 没关系, 不用谢。
Step14 在英语中,“问路”的说法有很多种,例如：
Excuse me. Where is the library
Excuse me. How can I get to the library
Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get to the library
Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to the library
Is there a library near here/around here/in the neighborhood
Giving directions:指路
Go straight ( until the end ).

Turn left/right.
Go across the street.
It’s down/along New Street on the left/right.
Turn left/right at the first crossing(十字路口).

写出同义句
1.请问, 去车站怎么走？
2.劳驾,邮局在哪儿？
Step15 Summary2
1. Target language:
Is there a/an…
Yes, there is. / No, there isn’t.
Where is…
It’s +prepositional phrases.
2. Grasp how to use some sentences to ask way and give directions.
Step16 Homework

Is there a post office near here 同步测试
江西省九江市第十一中学 姚 瑶
笔试部分（共100分）
一、单项选择（20分）
请阅读下面各小题，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(每小题1分)
( )l. I'm not ______ a book like this.
A. watching B. looking at C. seeing D. reading
答案：D
解析：看书要用read a book，而 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )watch、see、look at虽然都表示“看”，但不能和a book搭配，read指读书、看书，着重指看书上的内容，而非只做“看”的动作。
( )2. It's very cold ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) today. You'd better put_______ your coat when you go out.
A. away B. down C. on D. up
答案：C
解析：本题主要考查有关put动词短语的用法 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。本句意为“今天很冷，出门时你最好穿上外套”。由此可见，空白处应填on，与put搭配，构成put on 短语，有“穿上”之意。而put away表示“把……收起来(放好)”；put down有“放下”之意；put up意为“张贴”。故选C。
( )3. Don't _____ on the street, Tom.
A. play B. playing C . plays D. is playing
答案：A
解析：本题主要考查祈使句的否定式，应为don't 加动词原形，因此答案为A。
( )4. Listen! Who______ in the next room
A. sing B . sings C . singing D. is singing
答案：D
解析：本题考查在何种情况下 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )用进行时态，通常来说 Listen! Now，where is sb． 都可以成为判断时态的标志，看：听! 之时，某人一定正在进行某个动作。Listen! 为一种提示，意为提示注意正在发生的动作或行为。
( )5.--We can use MSN to________ with each other on the net.
--Really Will you show me how to use it
A. speak B. talk C. say D. tell
答案：B
解析：本题主要考查有“说”之意的动词的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )用法。本句重点在如何表达“互相交谈”上。因句中所给介词为with，能与之搭配的只有B项talk。talk with 意为“与……交谈”。在表达这层含义上，speak、say 只能与介词to连用，tell 为及物动词，后面可直接接宾语。故选B。
( )6 . _______ your raincoat . It's raining outside .
A. Wear B. Put on C . Wearing D. Putting on
答案：B
解析：本题考查祈使句肯定句，应为动词原形，因此C、D舍去，这里强调穿上这一动作，不表示状态，因此答案为B。
( )7 . We _______ a Chinese class today. They ________ an English class now.
A. aren't having; are having B. don't have; have
C. aren't having; have D. don't have; are having
答案：D
解析：此题考查一般现在时与现在进行 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )时态的区别。today指通常情况下在这一天没有语文课，而不是正在进行的动作，而now表示没上语文课，而正在上英语课。
( )8. My brother and I _______.
A. is doing my homework B. am doing his homework
C. are doing our homeworks D. are doing our homework
答案：D
解析：My brother 和 I 为两并列 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )主语，应看做为第一人称复数，谓语动词也应用复数，故排除A、B两项。义因为homework 为不可数名词，故排除C选D。
( )9 . Miss Gao is ______ green trousers . She looks beautiful .
A. put on B. putting on C. wearing D. wear
答案：C
解析：由于本题给了be动词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，动词之后不能再加动词原形。put on 只表示短时间的动作，wear 表示正在穿着什么样的衣服的一种状态，如果没有She looks beautiful，我们可选B、C两个答案，因B、C在语法上都成立，但这句话表示“高小姐穿着绿色裤子，看起来挺漂亮。”所以前向只能是穿着的状态，不能是动作。
( )10. I am ______ the kite like this.
A. not liking B. not wanting C . not finding D. not flying
答案：D
解析：动词like(喜欢 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ))和want(想要)属情感性和意识性动词，通常不能用于进行时态。find(找到)为短暂性动词，也不能用于进行时态。fly为行为性动词，可用于进行时态。
( )11._______ careful girl Kate is!
A. How B. What C. What a D. How a
答案：C
解析：被感叹的部分为“名词”时，结构为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“What+a/an+ 形容词+可数名词单数(+主语+谓语)!”或“what+(形容词)复数名词／不可数名词(+主语+谓语)! ” 被感叹的部分是形容词或副词时，结构为“How+ 形容词/副词+主语+谓语!”。此句是感叹单数名词girl ，故用What a。
( )12. --What's the date today
--_______.
A. It's Sunday B. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) It's cold C. It's June 2001 D. It's September 10th
答案：D
解析：此题是问日期，A是对星期的回答，B是对天气的回答，C 未给出具体日期，故选D。
( )13. --How's the weather in Xinjiang
--The weather here is _______ .
A. strange B. wind C . sun D . fog
答案：A
解析：回答天气状况，be动词后应用形容词，不能用名词，而B、C和D均是名词，故选A。
( )14. --What's the weather like today
--_________ .
A. It's Sunday ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. It's sunny C. It's July 3rd D. It's food
答案：B
解析：此题是问天气，而A是对“星期”提问的答语，C是对“日期”提问的答话，D是对“这是什么”的回答，故选B。
( )15. --What a cold day it is!
--_________ .
A. Yes, but it's going to be colder B. No, I think it's cold today
C. Sorry, I'm afraid I can't D. Yes, it isn't cold
答案：A

On a Pacific island,100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999.Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2100.
