This demands that students not only understand the lines but also empathize with the characters' situations and emotions, which requires a relatively high level of students' comprehensive abilities.

She told him she wanted to prepare herself for marriage. She asked Lorenzo and Jessica to look after the palace and the servants until she came back. Lorenzo was very happy to do this for her. He thought she was a very wise and kind woman. “Bassanio was lucky to have her for his wife,” he said. Portia said she agreed to let Bassanio go to Venice because Antonio’s letter showed her that he must be a very good man. Portia and Nerissa, however, were not going to a convent. Portia had a different plan, but she did not want to tell Lorenzo and Jessica what it was. It was a secret. She called one of her servants. She told him to go to Padua and find her friend, Bellario. She gave him a letter to give to Bellario. “He will give you something I need to bring back to me,” she said. “Bring them to the ship that goes to Venice. Hurry! I will be at the ship before you get there.” The servant hurried away with the letter, and Portia called Nerissa. “Come on, Nerissa,” she said, “we are going to see our husbands sooner than they think.” She told Nerissa that their husbands would not recognize them because they were going to disguise themselves as men. “I know how to behave like a

man,” she said. “I will wear a dagger and walk like a man. I will talk about the battles I have won. I will tell lies about the women who fell in love with me.

I’ll say that I’m sad about causing them to die, and everyone will believe that I am a man.” ——Taken from The Merchant of Venice 1 ．What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage a.

B The Merchant of Venice is a famous play written by William Shakespeare. It tells the story of a Venetian merchant named Antonio who borrows money from a Jewish moneylender named Shylock. Antonio’s friend, Bassanio, needs money to marry a woman named Portia. Antonio agrees to borrow the money from Shylock on the condition that if he cannot repay the money, Shylock can take a pound of his flesh. Meanwhile, Portia’s father has left a will stating that any man who wishes to marry her must choose the correct casket out of three, one gold, one silver, and one lead. Many men have tried and failed, but Bassanio correctly chooses the lead casket and wins Portia’s hand in marriage. Back in Venice, news reaches Antonio that his ships, which were carrying his goods and making him money, have been lost at sea. He is unable to repay his debt to Shylock, who demands his pound offlesh as agreed. Portia, disguised as a lawyer, arrives in Venice to help Antonio. She argues that Shylock must take it without losing any blood, as stated in their agreement. Shylock is forced to give up his claim, and Antonio is saved. The story of the merchant of Venice teaches us the importance of friendship, forgiveness, and the power of true love. —Taken from The Merchant of Venice 5 ．Why did Bassanio need money A ．To buy a new ship B ．To marry Portia C ．To start a new business D ．To repay his debts 6 ．What happened to Antonio’s ships

Portia and Nerrisa arrived disguised as men. Portia pretended she was a judge and listened to the arguments about the pound of flesh. The young judge asked Shylock to be mercy on Antonio, but shylock disagreed. Shylock said, “I will show no mercy. I want justice, the penalty written in the contract!” Bassanio wanted to give Shylock ten times the money Antonio borrowed, even including his hands, heads or heart. This time, Portia disagreed. She thought they couldn’t change the law of Venice. They must obey it. Portia asked Antonio to prepare his body for Shylock’s knife. Shylock was very happy. He said the judge was much older in wisdom than in years. At that moment, Bassanio remembered Antonio borrowed money from Shylock to help him court Portia. His friend was going to die. Bassanio would do anything to save his friend. He would die in his place or give up his wife if it could help. On the other hand, Antonio felt happy. He said he was lucky because he would never grow old and sick. He comforted Bassanio.

But Shylock’s dream didn’t come true. Portia said Shylock could take Antonio’s pound of flesh, but he could not take any blood, or he would lose everything. Shylock decided not to take the flesh but ninety thousand dollars. Portia disagreed. Shylock said he just wanted his own money back without charging the interest. Portia still disagreed. She said according to the law, if anyone planned to kill a citizen of Venice, he would lose everything. And the duke was the only person who could save him from death. The duke said Shylock must first become a Christian. If Shylock didn’t do so, the duke would not have mercy on him, and Shylock would die. Shylock realized he had no choice.

教学反思
Teaching Reflection 1. Successes Stimulating Interest through Scenario Creation: The scenario design of comparing the course to a voyage was quite successful. By drawing a cruise
- 37 -
ship on the blackboard and inviting students to sail together, it effectively stimulated students' interest in learning, making them more actively participate in the course and creating a good atmosphere for the whole class. Guiding Learning with Clear Objectives: At the beginning of the teaching, students were made clear about the learning objectives, and all teaching activities were closely centered around these objectives throughout the various teaching stages. This helps students clearly understand the key points and directions ofthe course, enabling them to better master knowledge and skills. Diverse Teaching Activities: In the preview check section, through various activities such as checking language points, understanding the text, solving difficulties, and sorting out the relationships among characters, students' preview results were comprehensively consolidated, and their understanding of the text was deepened. Meanwhile, the intensive reading and role-playing activities can exercise students' language expression abilities and cooperation abilities, enriching the forms of the classroom. 2. Deficiencies Time Management Issues: In the preview check section, especially when discussing the expressions in the text and talking about the three questions related to the theme, it may have taken too much time—about 7 minutes, resulting in a rush in the subsequent intensive reading and role-playing sections. Some students may not have had sufficient opportunities to fully demonstrate themselves. Insufficient Attention to Individual Differences: During the teaching process, although there were group activities and classroom questions,
- 38 -
perhaps not enough attention was paid to some students with weaker learning abilities or introverted personalities. They may have had difficulties in understanding and participating in the course content, but did not receive timely assistance. Difficult reading material: The text selected for this class is relatively difficult. As a result, during the presentation part, students' English proficiency and expressive abilities are not fully demonstrated. It is mainly because of the limited English level and expressive skills of the students. 3. Improvement Measures Optimizing Time Arrangement: In future teaching, it is necessary to plan the time of each teaching stage more accurately. For discussion sections, time limits can be set, or more thorough preparations can be made in advance for the difficulties that students may encounter, so as to guide students to solve problems more efficiently and ensure the smooth completion of each stage. If necessary, some contents can by cut to ensure a better time arrangement. Focusing on Individual Development: Provide more feedback and guidance targeted at individual students. For example, encourage mutual assistance among group members during group activities, and during the patrolling process, teachers should pay more attention to students with learning difficulties, giving them more opportunities to speak and targeted guidance. Additionally, extra learning resources and tutoring can be provided for these students after class. Practice oral English more: In future English teaching, more attention should be paid to improving students' English expression ability. This can be
- 39 -
achieved by providing more opportunities for them to practice speaking, such as conducting more group discussions, English speech contests, and assigning more oral presentation tasks with appropriate difficulty levels. Also, we can choose teaching materials that are more in line with students' current English level to ensure that they can better show their abilities and gain more confidence in the learning process.
