教材分析
【What】本课时以“Reaching New Heights”为核心语篇，围绕珠穆朗玛峰攀登这一自然奇观展开，属于“人与自然”主题范畴下的自然探索主题。语篇首先介绍攀登珠穆朗玛峰的恶劣自然条件（极低温度、稀薄空气、险峻悬崖等）；其次详述1960年中国登山队首次从北坡“死亡之路”登顶珠峰的艰难历程（包括队员协作翻越第二阶梯的细节）；接着补充1975年中国团队再次登顶并留下“中国梯”、2020年测量珠峰高度为8848.86米的成就；最后探讨人类挑战珠峰的深层原因，引用乔治·马洛里的名言“because it’s there”升华主题。 【Why】本课时语篇旨在通过呈现中国登山队征服珠峰的壮举，传递人类对自然的探索精神、坚韧不拔的意志和团队协作的力量；同时引导读者思考人类与自然的关系——既敬畏自然的险峻，又不因困难放弃对未知的好奇与追求，彰显中国登山人的家国情怀与民族精神，落实“培养学生文化自信与自然探索意识”的育人目标。 【How】本课时核心语篇属于说明文+叙事文结合的文体：以总起式说明珠峰的险峻与攀登的挑战，引出话题；以时间为线索叙事，依次讲述1960年首次北坡登顶、1975年搭建“中国梯”、2020年测量高度的关键事件；以议论升华主题，分析人类攀登珠峰的动机，引发思考。整体结构为“总—分—总”，逻辑清晰，兼具事实说明与情感叙事。语言词汇涵盖自然环境类（temperature, cliff, thin air）、动作类（survive, climb, pull）、数字类（8,600 metres, 4:20 a.m.）等核心词汇，同时包含抽象名词（curiosity, ambition）和名人引语，兼具实用性与思想性；以简单句和并列句为主（如“Climbers must also deal with thin air, high cliffs, and changeable weather.”），穿插时间状语从句、宾语从句（如“Liu allowed his teammates to step on his shoulders.”），语言简洁易懂，符合初中英语阅读难度；运用列数字（8,848.86 metres）、引语（George Mallory的名言）、细节描写（“bit by bit, the climbers pulled themselves up”）增强语篇的真实性与感染力。语篇客观呈现珠峰攀登的历史、地理数据与挑战；通过叙事细节传递登山者的勇气与毅力；通过结尾议论引发学生对“探索自然”“人类意志”的深层思考，实现语言学习与思维培养的统一。
学情分析

Work in groups and choose their own role, then have a discussion about making a tip list for mountain climbing to help Billy’s friend. Ask the teacher for language support if they need. 以 “为登山爱好者制定建议清单” 为真实任务，让学生在解决实际问题中运用本课所学词汇、句型与知识，体现 “学用结合、学以致用”。 整合本课词汇（survive, risky, determined 等）、句型（should/had better）与安全常识，完成从理解性输入到表达性输出的完整学习闭环。
Language points 1. On the highest place on earth, you will feel like you are able to touch the sky. 在地球的最高点，你会感觉仿佛能够触摸到天空。 feel like意为“感觉像/好像是”，还可意为“想要”，后可接名词(短语)、动词-ing形式。 eg: I feel like a cup of tea/dring a cup of tea. 我想要一杯茶/喝一杯茶。 2.But only the best climbers reach the top, and that is only if they survive the terrible conditions first. 但只有最优秀的登山者才能登顶，而且前提是他们首先要能在恶劣的条件下生存。 only if 引导条件状语从句，表示“ 只有在......的情况下”，强调条件的“ 唯一性 ”，后面接“ 真实条件 ”，常用倒装句。 eg: Only if we take a taxi will we catch the train. 我们只有乘出租车才能赶上火车。 3. ...but a Chinese climbing team was determined to make the climb. ...但一支中国登山队决心进行这次攀登。 be determined to do sth 下定决心做某事 4. Bit by bit, the climbers pulled themselves up, and they made it past the Second Step. 登山者们一点一点地向上爬，最终成功越过了“第二台阶”。 bit by bit 意为“一点一点地”，同义表达为little by little或gradually。 pull oneself up意为“奋力站起来/爬起来”，同义表达为little by little或gradually。 eg: I feel like a cup of tea/dring a cup of tea. 我想要一杯茶/喝一杯茶。 5. Why do people still risk their lives to climb the highest mountain in the world 为什么人们仍然要冒着生命危险去攀登世界最高峰？ risk one’s life to do sth 意为“冒着生命危险做某事”，此处risk为动词。risk作名词时意为“风险”,“do sth at the risk of one’s life”也意为“冒着生命危险做某事”。 6. Or, as the English explorer George Mallory put it, it is simply “because it's there” ! 或者，正如英国探险家乔治.马洛里所说，只是“因为山就在那里”！ as sb put(s) it 正如某人所说 eg: As my teacher puts it, practice makes perfect. 正如我老师所说，熟能生巧。
