阅读文本解读
主题语境：人与社会 语篇类型：科普说明文 语篇研读： 【what】本单元围绕“展望未来”（Looking into the Future）这一主题展开，反映了人们对未来生活与技术发展的期待与担忧，鼓励学生深入思考 现代科技发展对未来人类生活的影响和意义。 本单元围绕“展望未来”(Looking into the Future)这一主题展开，反映了人们对未来生与技术发展的期待与担忧，鼓励学生深入思考现代科技发展对未来人类生活的影响和意义。本元取材广泛，从智能家居的发展到设备的自动化，从纳米机器人到无人驾驶汽车，从克隆技术到人体器官的复制，等等。这些选材和讨论注重启发学生从不同角度关注科技进步对未来社会的影响，展望时代发展的方向，辩证地思考人类在未来可能面对的问题以及能够发挥的作用。 开篇页的引言“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”出自被誉为“现代管理学之父”的彼得·德鲁克。这句话传递了作者对人类创造力的肯定和期待：预测未来最好的方式是创造未来。主题图是一张充满未来概念的创意图。图中的机器人托起一个孩子。孩子背对着读者，仿佛是在与机器人对视，也可能是望向茫茫宇宙，还有可能是在机器人的掌中陷入了沉思。机器人代表先进的科学技术，孩子代表未来，宇宙代表无限。主题图的构图虚实结合、远近结合、动静结合，给人遐想的空间，引发学生思考人与科技、未来、社会的关系。 Reading and Thinking板块的活动主题是“交流对智能家居的看法”（Exchange views on smart homes）。学生通过阅读一篇介绍未来智能家居的说明文，了解技术发展给生活带来的便利，并思考这些变化可能产生的问题。在有关科技和未来的主题语境下，从居家生活切入话题可以让学生感觉到未来科技发展与生活息息相关，从而拉近话题与学生的距离，激发学生的阅读兴趣。 【why】本文介绍智能家居在未来生活中的应用，是一篇杂志类型的文章，具有典型的科普性。文章从现实生活中常遇到的问题出发，介绍了未来 生活场景中智能家居具有的智能控制、健康检查、防范灾害等功能。这些功能对应我们现实生活场景中的问题或需求，展现了智能家居对这些问题或需求的解决方案。文中还提到：“Many of these new innovations are already available and being used in some homes. In this sense, the home of tomorrow is already the home of today.”这说明创新不是天马行空、凭空想象而来的，而是和现实有密切的联系。认识到这一点对学生品格的塑造有重要意义。高中学生正处于思想活跃、满怀憧憬的年纪，对未来充满了遐想。当他们展望未来时，应该脚踏实地，才能将美好的想象付诸行动。教师应引导学生结合本阅读言文章主题和内容形成对未来科技发展的积极期待和全面思考，形成对未来科技客观性的态度。 【How】 本文是一篇科技类科普说明文。全文五个段落呈现了说明类文本常见的BTEC的内容结构：第一段介绍了背景（Background）和主题（Topic），即在目前家居生活不够安全和节能等背景下，提出未来智能家居可以给我们提供更安全、更节能和更舒适的生活这一主题；第二至第四段用“智能控制、健康检查和防范灾害”三种功能解释了文本主题（Explanation）；第五段是总结（Conclusion），智能家居时代已经到来但其推广普及还需要一段时间。 本文这类的科学小品文借助一些文学作品的写作手法，将科学内容生动、形象地表达出来。科学小品文的表现形式多样，常见的有四种：（1）描述式。既有形象的描写，又有生动的叙述，具有文艺性散文的风格。（2）自述式。采用拟人的手法，让被说明的事物以第一人称作自我介绍。（3）故事式。用第三人称以讲故事的形式介绍科学知识，达到科普的目的。（4）谈话式。常以问答或对话的方式进行，加强和读者的沟通，以产生共鸣。本文的开头就是通过提问导人话题，给人一种亲切、真实的感觉。行文中不断描述问题场景，有很强的代入感和可读性。
学情分析
授课对象为高二级的学生，在语言知识方面，高二的学生已经掌握一些与本话题相关的词汇，但对生词的学习，学生比较依赖教师或者工具书。此外，学生也掌握了一些基本的语言点和语言技巧，能够获取文本的主要信息。但他们中的大多数人缺乏阅读策略，如略读、跳读和预测等，对文本内容的梳理、阐述以及分析和迁移能力还有待进一步的提高。阅读文本的话题是“智能家居使生活更加便利”（Smart Home to Makes Life Easier），要求学生能理解“Smart”的含义并对未来智能家居的发展和智能家居提出了自己的看法。在课前，通过学情调查问卷，了解到学生对智能产品的的背景知识的情况，90%以上的同学都能用英语说出生活中的智能产品，但是，只有少数同学能够用句子描述智能产品的功能与优点，由于日常生活中，对智能产品接触比较少，学生对智能产品并不熟悉，学生觉得用英语谈论新科技的发展是比较困难的，而这篇课文恰好能激发了学生对高新技术的认识和了解，并学习到描述和表达智能产品的语言知识和相关表达句型。
教学目标
1、语言能力：阅读和理解科普说明文类型的文章，获取文本事实性信息，判断文章的目标读者和写作目的，了解此类文章的语篇结构和语言特点；（A1感知与注意）（A2获取与梳理） 2、学习能力：能够根据文体和语言特点，阅读文章每个段落的细节内容，对智能家居的功能和优点进行描述与阐释，并能根据主题表达的需要，利用细节信息，有逻辑地组织信息并完成阅读任务；（A3 概括与整合）（B1描述与阐释） 3、文化意识：了解科技发展，尤其是智能家居对人类生活的重要影响和意义；（B2分析与判断） 4、思维品质：能够对科学技术的发展保持好奇心，对科技改变未来生活的场景充满想象。批判与评价智能家居，运用文中语言阐述科学技术对人类未来生活带来的变化，培养批判思维和迁移能力。 （C2批判与评价）（C3想象与创造）
教学重难点
教学重点： 指导学生通过快速阅读识别文章的写作目的和目标读者； 引导学生结合语篇主题和内容，全面思考并积极期待未来科技的发展。 教学难点： 指导学生能够根据主题表达的需要，利用语篇衔接手段，有逻辑地组织信息。
(
单元词汇梳理
) (
本单元的话题主线是科技发展对人们生活的影响和如何客观而理智地（批判性地）看待科技发展。所以本单元让学生围绕着科技发展的积极影响和消极问题两方面来梳理话题词汇。
教学建议：最好讲完一个语篇后就让学生梳理话题词汇，如果整个单元讲完了一起梳理的话，量太大，学生负担太重。

He realized that what he was hearing was the unmistakable(清楚明白的) sound of a struggle. Thinking of the danger, he became frightened.
Only yards from where Jim stood, a girl was being attacked. Jim didn't know what to do. Should he get involved in it He was worried about his own safety. He was wondering whether he should just run to the nearest phone box and call the police or went to fight with the attacker(攻击者) to save the unknown girl.
As he suffered from inward struggles, the girl's cries were growing weaker. Jim knew he had to act fast. Yet he knew he couldn't just walk away from this. He realized that he could not turn his back on the fate(命运) of this unknown girl, even if it meant risking his own life.
Jim was not a brave man, nor was he athletic(健壮的). Even he himself didn't quite know where he found the moral courage and physical strength. However, once he was determined to help the girl, he became strangely transformed(转变). He ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the girl, who panicked very much. Seeing Jim prevent him, the attacker became crazy and began to fight with him. Jim became fearless and then fell to the ground, where they wrestled(摔跤) for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped. Jim felt very tired and he couldn't catch the attacker.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Watching the attacker run into the darkness, Jim thought of the girl.

Should We Advocate Artificial Intelligence
Nowadays, with the development of technology, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more popular. It is universally acknowledged that AI plays an important role in our daily lives.
On the one hand, with robots undertaking dangerous and demanding jobs and facial recognition coming into being, AI makes our lives much more convenient and safer. On the other hand, with AI taking the place of people in some industries, it will be more difficult for people to get jobs to make a living.
Personally, there is no doubt that AI makes a big difference to our life in some ways, but it also has some weaknesses. Only when we make good use of it, can it bring us great benefit41、He makes it his duty to help others.

Should We Advocate Artificial Intelligence
Nowadays, with the development of technology, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more popular. It is universally acknowledged that AI plays an important role in our daily lives.
On the one hand, with robots undertaking dangerous and demanding jobs and facial recognition coming into being, AI makes our lives much more convenient and safer. On the other hand, with AI taking the place of people in some industries, it will be more difficult for people to get jobs to make a living.
Personally, there is no doubt that AI makes a big difference to our life in some ways, but it also has some weaknesses. Only when we make good use of it, can it bring us great benefit.

主题语境：人与社会 语篇类型：科普说明文 语篇研读： 【what】本单元围绕“展望未来”（Looking into the Future）这一主题展开，反映了人们对未来生活与技术发展的期待与担忧，鼓励学生深入思考 现代科技发展对未来人类生活的影响和意义。 本单元围绕“展望未来”(Looking into the Future)这一主题展开，反映了人们对未来生与技术发展的期待与担忧，鼓励学生深入思考现代科技发展对未来人类生活的影响和意义。本元取材广泛，从智能家居的发展到设备的自动化，从纳米机器人到无人驾驶汽车，从克隆技术到人体器官的复制，等等。这些选材和讨论注重启发学生从不同角度关注科技进步对未来社会的影响，展望时代发展的方向，辩证地思考人类在未来可能面对的问题以及能够发挥的作用。 开篇页的引言“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”出自被誉为“现代管理学之父”的彼得·德鲁克。这句话传递了作者对人类创造力的肯定和期待：预测未来最好的方式是创造未来。主题图是一张充满未来概念的创意图。图中的机器人托起一个孩子。孩子背对着读者，仿佛是在与机器人对视，也可能是望向茫茫宇宙，还有可能是在机器人的掌中陷入了沉思。机器人代表先进的科学技术，孩子代表未来，宇宙代表无限。主题图的构图虚实结合、远近结合、动静结合，给人遐想的空间，引发学生思考人与科技、未来、社会的关系。 Reading and Thinking板块的活动主题是“交流对智能家居的看法”（Exchange views on smart homes）。学生通过阅读一篇介绍未来智能家居的说明文，了解技术发展给生活带来的便利，并思考这些变化可能产生的问题。在有关科技和未来的主题语境下，从居家生活切入话题可以让学生感觉到未来科技发展与生活息息相关，从而拉近话题与学生的距离，激发学生的阅读兴趣。 【why】本文介绍智能家居在未来生活中的应用，是一篇杂志类型的文章，具有典型的科普性。文章从现实生活中常遇到的问题出发，介绍了未来 生活场景中智能家居具有的智能控制、健康检查、防范灾害等功能。这些功能对应我们现实生活场景中的问题或需求，展现了智能家居对这些问题或需求的解决方案。文中还提到：“Many of these new innovations are already available and being used in some homes. In this sense, the home of tomorrow is already the home of today.”这说明创新不是天马行空、凭空想象而来的，而是和现实有密切的联系。认识到这一点对学生品格的塑造有重要意义。高中学生正处于思想活跃、满怀憧憬的年纪，对未来充满了遐想。当他们展望未来时，应该脚踏实地，才能将美好的想象付诸行动。教师应引导学生结合本阅读言文章主题和内容形成对未来科技发展的积极期待和全面思考，形成对未来科技客观性的态度。 【How】 本文是一篇科技类科普说明文。全文五个段落呈现了说明类文本常见的BTEC的内容结构：第一段介绍了背景（Background）和主题（Topic），即在目前家居生活不够安全和节能等背景下，提出未来智能家居可以给我们提供更安全、更节能和更舒适的生活这一主题；第二至第四段用“智能控制、健康检查和防范灾害”三种功能解释了文本主题（Explanation）；第五段是总结（Conclusion），智能家居时代已经到来但其推广普及还需要一段时间。 本文这类的科学小品文借助一些文学作品的写作手法，将科学内容生动、形象地表达出来。科学小品文的表现形式多样，常见的有四种：（1）描述式。既有形象的描写，又有生动的叙述，具有文艺性散文的风格。（2）自述式。采用拟人的手法，让被说明的事物以第一人称作自我介绍。（3）故事式。用第三人称以讲故事的形式介绍科学知识，达到科普的目的。（4）谈话式。常以问答或对话的方式进行，加强和读者的沟通，以产生共鸣。本文的开头就是通过提问导人话题，给人一种亲切、真实的感觉。行文中不断描述问题场景，有很强的代入感和可读性。
学情分析
授课对象为高二级的学生，在语言知识方面，高二的学生已经掌握一些与本话题相关的词汇，但对生词的学习，学生比较依赖教师或者工具书。此外，学生也掌握了一些基本的语言点和语言技巧，能够获取文本的主要信息。但他们中的大多数人缺乏阅读策略，如略读、跳读和预测等，对文本内容的梳理、阐述以及分析和迁移能力还有待进一步的提高。阅读文本的话题是“智能家居使生活更加便利”（Smart Home to Makes Life Easier），要求学生能理解“Smart”的含义并对未来智能家居的发展和智能家居提出了自己的看法。在课前，通过学情调查问卷，了解到学生对智能产品的的背景知识的情况，90%以上的同学都能用英语说出生活中的智能产品，但是，只有少数同学能够用句子描述智能产品的功能与优点，由于日常生活中，对智能产品接触比较少，学生对智能产品并不熟悉，学生觉得用英语谈论新科技的发展是比较困难的，而这篇课文恰好能激发了学生对高新技术的认识和了解，并学习到描述和表达智能产品的语言知识和相关表达句型。
教学目标
1、语言能力：阅读和理解科普说明文类型的文章，获取文本事实性信息，判断文章的目标读者和写作目的，了解此类文章的语篇结构和语言特点；（A1感知与注意）（A2获取与梳理） 2、学习能力：能够根据文体和语言特点，阅读文章每个段落的细节内容，对智能家居的功能和优点进行描述与阐释，并能根据主题表达的需要，利用细节信息，有逻辑地组织信息并完成阅读任务；（A3 概括与整合）（B1描述与阐释） 3、文化意识：了解科技发展，尤其是智能家居对人类生活的重要影响和意义；（B2分析与判断） 4、思维品质：能够对科学技术的发展保持好奇心，对科技改变未来生活的场景充满想象。批判与评价智能家居，运用文中语言阐述科学技术对人类未来生活带来的变化，培养批判思维和迁移能力。 （C2批判与评价）（C3想象与创造）
教学重难点
教学重点： 指导学生通过快速阅读识别文章的写作目的和目标读者； 引导学生结合语篇主题和内容，全面思考并积极期待未来科技的发展。 教学难点： 指导学生能够根据主题表达的需要，利用语篇衔接手段，有逻辑地组织信息。
(
单元词汇梳理
) (
本单元的话题主线是科技发展对人们生活的影响和如何客观而理智地（批判性地）看待科技发展。所以本单元让学生围绕着科技发展的积极影响和消极问题两方面来梳理话题词汇。
教学建议：最好讲完一个语篇后就让学生梳理话题词汇，如果整个单元讲完了一起梳理的话，量太大，学生负担太重。

Jim was walking down a dimly lit street late in the evening, hoping to see his lovely children as soon as possible. As he was walking quietly, Jim heard muffled(沉闷的) screams coming from behind some bushes. Alarmed(惊慌的), Jim stopped to listen carefully. He realized that what he was hearing was the unmistakable(清楚明白的) sound of a struggle. Thinking of the danger, he became frightened.
Only yards from where Jim stood, a girl was being attacked. Jim didn't know what to do. Should he get involved in it He was worried about his own safety. He was wondering whether he should just run to the nearest phone box and call the police or went to fight with the attacker(攻击者) to save the unknown girl.
As he suffered from inward struggles, the girl's cries were growing weaker. Jim knew he had to act fast. Yet he knew he couldn't just walk away from this. He realized that he could not turn his back on the fate(命运) of this unknown girl, even if it meant risking his own life.
Jim was not a brave man, nor was he athletic(健壮的). Even he himself didn't quite know where he found the moral courage and physical strength. However, once he was determined to help the girl, he became strangely transformed(转变). He ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the girl, who panicked very much. Seeing Jim prevent him, the attacker became crazy and began to fight with him. Jim became fearless and then fell to the ground, where they wrestled(摔跤) for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped. Jim felt very tired and he couldn't catch the attacker.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Watching the attacker run into the darkness, Jim thought of the girl.

Should We Advocate Artificial Intelligence
