课件23张PPT。Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading — Pre-readingStep 1Step 2Step 3Step 4Step 51．Do you like archaeology?
2．If you like archaeology, how do you prepare for your
archaeological career?
Please read the following passage to get the answer. Don't wait until after your final exams. Follow these simple tips while you are at university and give yourself a head start!
Get archaeological experience
Start with projects run by universities or local societies. There are volunteer opportunities available during the summer; having experience on a range of digs will help your CV ( 简历). Working in a museum or record office also provides valuable experience. Unpaid as the work is, it helps the organizations and shows employers you are interested.Get the right range of experience
Try to work on different types of projects and do different things. If you are on a dig work with the environmental samples, keeping records, whether it is through planning, filling out record forms or surveying, is particularly important.
Understanding why things are recorded and the significance of those observations is vital. Don't be afraid to ask to do this — supervisors (监察人) will be pleased you are taking an interest.Get your driving license
Most permanent jobs in fieldwork require you to drive as part of the job. It is hard to fit in lessons if you are away from home digging, so be sure to plan this into your vacations. Tell your parents or guardian they need to invest a little bit more in your future sooner rather than later! If you have a disability that means you cannot drive, you should look at this issue carefully.Make sure your CV is strong
Most projects and jobs will ask you to send in a completed application form or a CV. This CV is about your employability, not just your educational achievements. You need to tell people about your archaeological experience, your skills such as graphics (制图学), team working, presentation and communication skills. Summarize these skills and experience in a covering letter (附信). Ⅰ. In pairs, try to identify these objects. Discuss what they
were made of and explain their use. Can you think of the alternatives we would use today?

现在完成进行时是一种兼有现在完成时和现在进行时两者
基本特点的时态。其结构是“have (has) ＋been＋现在分
词”。现在完成进行时有以下几方面的含义：

延续下去，常与 for, since引导的时间状语连用。
I have been teaching English for almost twenty years.
我教英语将近有20年了。They have been living here for 10 years.
他们住在这里10年了。
2．表示动作刚刚结束。

我想要见你已好久了。[考题印证1](2012·安徽高考)In order to find the missing child, villagers ________ all they can over the past five hours.

我一直在考虑这件事。(延续性)
I have thought it over.(影响及结果)
我已经考虑过这件事了。I have been visiting my hometown recently.
最近我经常回老家。(动作重复)
I have visited my hometown recently.
最近我回老家了。(不表示动作的反复)

状态动词be, have, exist；情感动词like, love, hate, detest；
感觉动词see, hear, know, feel, sound；
短暂性动词finish, marry, get up, come, go等。

物品介绍类说明文写作应注意以下几点：
1．抓准特征、说明到位。
抓住事物的特征，即这一事物区别于其他事物的标志就显得尤为重要。只有抓住了事物的特点，才能给读者留下深刻的印象。2．层次分明、条理清晰、内容连贯。
物品介绍类说明文要采用恰当的说明顺序，从物品的外观、构造、功能等方面来分层描述，做到层次分明、条理清晰、内容连贯。
3．表现手法多样。
像其他说明文一样，物品介绍类说明文可采用举例子、列数字、作比较等不同的说明方法，以便让读者更好地了解所介绍的物品。[黄金表达] 1．This object, which was made ..., was unearthed ...
2．This was one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the ... century.
3．This treasure has a history of ... years.
4．This object, which dates back to / dates from ..., is still well preserved.
