教材分析
I. 教学内容分析
必修5是NSE教材必修系列的最后 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一册，是高中英语第一轮最后阶段的内容，通过本书的学习，学生应该达到高中英语七级的要求。教师应该意识到本书实际上也是一个小节，应该做到前后联系，把握整体性，为学生下一阶段的学习打下坚实的基础。模块1的主题是British English and American English。要求学生能够认识和了解两者的区别和联系，理解英语的发展和它的多元性。并且能够表达自己对Varieties of English 的看法。
本模块从四句名人名言开始，介绍了人们对于英式英语和美式英语之间关系的看法。
Introduction 部分设计四则 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )对于英式英语和美式英语关系的名人名言和一些问题帮助分析观点，另外通过两封E-mail让学生找出英式英语和美式英语的区别，所以极能激发学生的好奇心，达到导入整个模块的效果。
Reading and Speaking ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是介绍英式英语和美式英语的区别的文章，分别介绍了两者在words, grammar, spelling, pronunciation方面的不同，并认为两者的区别并不影响沟通和交流。
Vocabulary 部分学习英式英语和美式英语的词汇，进一步理解两者在词汇方面的区别。
Grammar部分主要是复习两项语法项目：
1. Present sim ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple, present continuous, present perfect and future reference.
2. for and since with present perfect
Vocabulary a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd Listening部分第一部分设计一个pair work 探讨留学生的困难，从而引导学生说出语言沟通方面的难题。第二部分是通过选词填空复习常用词：ask, exist, happen, give, live, speak, talk 和think。第三部分是通过听一段美国留学生和英国留学生的对话了解两种英语的区别和共同点。
Everyday English通过学习 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )复习Vocabulary and Listening中的句子学会一些非常有用的日常生活用语：How are you getting on I didn’t get what people were saying. get used to, so far, That’s a good point. made a fuss of sb, cute, a couple of, pick up, wear off.
Learning to learn 是关于学会利用因特网学习研究英语，对于提高学习策略水平有很大的帮助。
Function介绍不同的方式介绍理由。
Speaking and Writin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g集说话和写作于一体，培养的是学生语言综合运用的能力。首先是阅读一篇关于Varieties of English 的文章。其次根据表明你对British English, American English and World English的看法，选出你认为最好的英语并给出理由。最后用英语的思维写一篇介绍汉语的由来、内容、变体和发展的文章。
Cultural Corner 通过阅 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )读The Man Who Made Spelling Simple的文章，了解对美式英语有杰出贡献的诺亚·韦伯斯特，从而进一步了解美式英语发展的历程，并且要求同学们做出关于简化汉语方面的思考。
Task要求学生通过英特网学习两 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )种英语在拼写和语法方面的区别，是对Learning to learn学习策略水平的一个体验。(一般来说，在每个模块的第一课时就明确任务是很有必要的，学生会在学习过程中完成任务。最后一个课时留给学生展示他们的成果，既达到了复习的效果，又让他们获得了学习的成就感。)
Module File 归纳了本单元的重点词汇，语法知识，功能用语和日常用语，有利于学生的复习总结，自我检验和自学的能力。

We’ll die without air or water.
③表示趋向行为的动词如come、go、start、begin、leave等词常用进行时的形式表示将来时。

be going to 表示现在打算在最近或 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )将来要做某事，这种打算往往经过事先考虑，甚至已做了某种准备；shall / will do表示未事先考虑过，即说话时临时做出的决定。be going to 表将来，不能用在条件状语从句的主句中；而will则能，表意愿。如：
If it is fine, we’ll go fishing.(正确)
If it is fine, we are going to go fishing.(错误)
be to do sth.表按计划、安排即将发生的动作，还可表示吩咐、命令、禁止，可能性等。
A meeting is to be held at 3:00 o’clock this afternoon.

6. Examples:
① Visitors ________not to touch the exhibits.(NMET 2001)
A. will request B. are requested
C. are requesting D. request
解析：答案为B。此题的时态是不难判断的，因为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )说的是一条规定，所以用一般现在时，而visitor与request之间是动宾关系，即request visitors not to touch the exhibits,究竟是谁要求他们这样做呢？不清楚，也不必知道，因此需要用被动语态。分析visitors与request之间的关系是此题的解题关键。
② Selecting a mobi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le phone for personal use is no easy task because technology __________ so rapidly. (NMET 2001)
A. is changing B. has changed
C. will have changed D. will change
解析：答案为A。此题考查现在进行时态的用法。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句意为“选择一部移动电话不是一件容易的事，因为科技发展得十分迅速。”本句的主句一般现在时表达的是目前的情况，而“科技发展迅速”也是现阶段正存在的一种状态，不是在过去，也不是在将来，因此只能用现在进行时表达。
③ All the preparations ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for the task ___________, and we’re ready to start.（2000年春季高考）
A. completed B. complete
C. had been completed D. have been completed
解析：答案为D。现在完成时表示过去年做的事 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )对现在的影响。从and we’re ready to start句意可知，一切准备工作已经就绪，可以开始工作了。complete是及物动词，与句子的主语是被动关系，所以需要用被动语态表达。注意①分清complete与主语之间的关系；②结合语境选择正确时态。
