As an instructional coach, I like to keep my candy boxes full in my office, with a variety of treats for my teachers. So this particular Saturday, I headed over to Walmart to check out the latest shipment of sorted Christmas candy. Sure, enough, the shelves were freshly stocked with all the latest Reese’s White Crème and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Trees! I picked up a couple of big bag items and headed on my way.
Remembering my husband told me to be sure to get the tires repaired, I swung into Les Schwab to see if they could help me. Sure enough they got me in right away. It wasn’t going to take long, so I just stayed in the vehicle. 6 or 7 guys in the shop worked together like a race track pit(修理加油站)crew and I was done in minutes. Then I remembered my candy bag, thinking I’ll bet these guys would appreciate some peanut butter and chocolate.
So I handed a handful of individually wrapped trees to one of them and told him to share with his buddies. It was a small thing, but nearing the end of the busy day at the tire shop, I saw them standing around like kids with treats. You would have thought I gave them gourmet desserts! “Thanks so much for coming in today and your sweet candies!” I heard one of them say.
As I drove out of the garage I thought, it truly is the little things in life that make a difference! I’m going to keep looking for those small opportunities of kindness! I challenge you, the next time you get your tires repaired, take along a bag of candy!

Try Your Hardest
“Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you much stronger. If you do little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves,” said Dale Carnegie.
Sometimes, doing your best work or trying your hardest at something is difficult. It may have something to do with trying to do something new for the first time, like a new sport or activity at school. It may have something to do with doing homework for a subject that is not your favorite or is not your best.
As Hunter S. Thompson once said, “Anything worth doing is worth doing right.” And as Albert Einstein added, “We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility.”
Developing the habit of trying your hardest and doing your best is something that will help you succeed throughout your life. If you have looked at some quotes related to trying your hardest, you will see that many of them come from people who have made a big difference in the world. This is not a coincidence. It was not only their cleverness that helped them stand out and change the world, but their ability to try their hardest and do their best in whatever they were doing. If you can develop this same habit---to do your best in any situation, it will be a great benefit to your family, career, school and community.
As Bob Cousy put it, “Do your best when no one is looking. If you do that, then you can be successful at anything you put your mind to.” The choice is yours.
29. Why does the author use the quote of Dale Carnegie in Paragraph 1?
A. To describe a scene B. To introduce a topic
C. To draw a conclusion D. To support an argument
30. According to the passage, in which case is it difficult to try your hardest?
A. When you are doing something that you are familiar with
B. When you are doing something that you are good at
C. When you are doing something that you feel bored with
D. When you are doing something that you like very much
31. Why does the author suggest we develop the habit of trying our hardest?
A. To let us make a big difference in the world
B. To help us achieve success all through our life
C. To make us more skillful in our work
D. To make it possible for us to benefit the whole world
32. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To inform B. To advertise
C. To introduce D. To persuade
D
Many of us recognize that familiar feeling of eagerly tearing open a carefully wrapped gift box, only to find a terrible woolen sweater. But what makes a good gift? The answer is very different, depending on whether you ask the gift giver or receiver.
A study published this month in Current Directions highlights the disconnection between the gifts we actually want and the ones we want to give, and offers some insights that may come in handy this holiday shopping season.
Psychologists have long known that we often struggle to predict other people’s preferences, and according to study co-author Elanor Williams, a marketing professor at Indiana University Bloomington, our ego(自我)may be to blame.
As gift givers, we tend to focus on the gift exchange itself, eagerly anticipating(期待)the warm feeling we get when we see the other person’s face light up with joy on opening our present. However, gift receivers focus more on the gift itself: Is it useful? Is it wanted?
Williams says the best strategy may be to simply ask people what they want. “There’s a misconception that the best-received gifts are the ones that are unexpected, but that’s just not true,” he explains. “The best-received gifts are the ones that best match what the receiver actually desires.”
Research on gift giving may feel a little dull, but as Williams points out, gift giving is something we do al the time. He adds that it plays an important social role—giving gifts can help us cater for (迎合)others and strengther social bonds. There is also a more practical reason to up our gift-giving game---every holiday season, we shell out(支付)hundreds of billions of dollars on presents. “If we’re dong that,” he says, “We might as well get it right.”
33. What do we know about Current Directions?
A. It may be a magazine about psychological science
B. It may be an advertisement about holiday shopping
C. It may be a commercial report about people’s preferences
D. It may be a wall newspaper in a shopping community
34. In which case can the gift be regarded as the best-received one?
A. My friend gave me a ticket for a film but I was too busy to see it
B. I bought a favorite book but a friend sent me another copy of it
C. My aunt sent me a sweater in summer because it was cheap
D. My uncle sent me a new mobile phone which I need badly
35. What does the passage mainly intend to tell us?
A. Different feelings between gift gives and receivers
B. How and why we should choose well-received gifts
C. What makes a good gift in different holiday seasons
D. Best-received gifts are the ones that are unexpected

Gain Self-Confidence and Better Health

This will increase the overall self-confidence which will be clearly reflected in your routines.
Plan your day out. Give yourself 10 minutes at the start of every morning. Plan your day out in that time. At the same time, have a goal for the day. You may not achieve it every day, but you will have a purpose. 40 Round them up and plan for a better tomorrow. I wish you good luck!

第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题-每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A "Tear'em apart ! ""Kill the fool! Murder the referee（裁判）！” These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let's not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotation(涵义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terrors. The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is" adversary”; "enemy"; "one who opposes your interests." Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one's intellect, and every action, no matter how gross (rude), may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed, "Are they wet enough now?" In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly, gives proof of a court attitude which departs from (goes against) normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term "opponent" with "associate" could be an ideal way to start. The dictionary meaning of the term "associate" is" colleague", "friend", "companion". Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent".
36. Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view? A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences. B. The words people use can influence their behavior. C. Unpleasant words in Sports are often used by foreign athletes. D. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field. 37. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______. A. are too eager to win B. are usually short-tempered and easily offended C. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D. treat their rivals as enemies
38. What did the handball player, do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A. He refused to continue the game. B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C. He claimed that the referee was unfair. D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt. 39. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _______. A. calling on players to use clean language on the court B. raising the referee's sense of responsibility C. changing the attitude of players on the sports field D. regulating the relationship between players and referees
B
Our plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch. We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wife’s sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her. ??? It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2:30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road. ??? By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day. 40. Why was Joan separated from her sister and her brother-in-law? A. they could not see each other because of the fog. B. Joan had not seen Crown Jewels. C. They planned to do different things until lunch time. D. The writer didn’t want to go to the concert. 41. What did the writer plan to do in the afternoon? A. Go to the concert.?????? B. See the Crown Jewels. C. Return to Cambridge.???D. Go shopping. 42. The reason why they didn’t all meet for lunch was that _______. ?A. They lost their way in the fog ?B. they forgot to make necessary arrangement C. they waited at different places and didn’t meet each other ?D. the couple couldn’t find the underground station 43. It’s quite clear that for Joan the trip to London had been ________. ?A. spilt by the fog????B. quite tiring ?C. rather disappointing???D. very enjoyable
C
The scientist from the Lockheed Space Company work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What scientists input (输入) is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints, but the most effective seems to be by pigeon. Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way.
Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout (电子打印输出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each.
Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous. You can often read the news about pigeons in the newspapers around the world.

Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road
----- Reported by Sheila Carrick
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.
Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.
Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Road kill.
"Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.
But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage.
Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.
The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!
48. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that_________.
A．wild animals have become more dangerous
B．the driving conditions have improved greatly
C．the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work
D．an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents
49. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is_________.
A．an underground path for cars ????????????????B．a fence built for the safety of the area
C．a bridge for animals to get over a river ??D．a pass for animals to cross the road
50. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means_________.
A．animals begin to realize the dangers on the road??
B．animals begin to learn to use ecopassages????
C．animals are crossing the road in groups????????
D．animals are increasing in number
51. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because_________.
A．wild animals may attack cars ????????????????????? B．wild animals may jam the road
C．they may see wild animals in the park?????????? D．they may see wild animals on ecopassages

单项填空
C 分析：按英美文化习惯，此处地道的表达应当是How nice!（太好了！），故C为最佳答案。
D 分析: 题意为“我到家时看见门上别着一张纸条，上面写着：“登门拜访，未曾谋面。回头我将打电话给你。”空格之前有逗号，提示你首先可排除read 和reads两个谓语动词形式。to read为不定式短语，作目的状语时，一般不可与主句隔开，而且此处既非表示目的也非表示结果。只有reading（在句中作伴随状语）符合题意，故D为最佳答案。
A 分析: 本题主要考查时态。分析句子结构，我们可以发现题干为“祈使句+and/or+并列分句”的句型，从而可知此处应用一般将来时态，故A为最佳答案。
4. A解析：consider作"考虑"讲时，后接动名词，但该题consider作"认为"讲，用consider sb.to do sth.结构的被动式。不定式的完成式作主语补足语，表示过去所发生的事。
5. 在做这道题时，不少考生误用了“表示前面的话里或上文提到过的人或事物要用定冠词”这一语法规则，将A作为正确答案。其实，这里的black one并非特指上文提到的pen。答话人表达的是“是一支黑色的钢笔吗”这一意思，故正确答案是D。6.A 7.B 8.A
9. 答案是B。认真分析语境和句子结构，working hard at his other lessons为插入语，如果将其去掉，不难发现该空应填谓语动词形式hopes。
10. C 句①意为“你知道约翰学习进展好吗？”宾语从句的意思已经完整，故选C项
11. A
12. D此题考查非谓语动词的用法,having the answers ready 是动名词短语做主语,故选D。
13—15 A B C
完形填空： [语篇解读]? 本文为记叙文讲了一个公司的创办者回忆了当年公司创办初期艰难创业的经历，从而使我们认识到，成功的关键是要勇于承担艰难的工作，发挥想象力和创造力，去完成别人认为不可能完成的事。 ?16. C kindness善意；patience耐心；imagination想象力；experience经历，经验。此题考查把握语篇上下文的联系。根据倒数第二段中Those ten days were…one creative idea after another.（那十天中满是……和一个接一个的创造性想法），…being creative in our approach to getting it done.（……在接近完成工作过程中表现出的创造能力。），由此可知，完成此项工作需要的是他们的想象创造的能力，故选C。 ?17. A construction建设；repair修理；control控制，管理；development发展，从文中可知，这是一项新工程，故选A。 ?18. D 考查连词用法。需要分析先后语句的关系。国家出租车公司想把2500平方米的土面铺成沙石面（用了have sth. Done结构），目的是在机场开放的时候，公司的出租车可以有停放的场所，故选D。 19. D 考查连词用法。这是时间状语从句，且从句open为非延续性动词，故选D。 20. C 考查语境用语，从后半句可知答案。 21. A 动词辨析题。state——to say, express, or put into words especially formally（尤指正式地说/陈述/阐明）；report——to provide information about or to give an account of, make something known（报告，记叙，叙述）；tell——to make (sth.) known in words（把某事告诉别人）；warn——to tell of something bad that may happen or how to prevent something bad（警告，告戒，提醒），根据词义，故选A。
22. D 形容词辨析。根据语境，Carolyn Stradley是一个新公司，在其他公司拒绝接受此工程的情况下，他们主动接受了挑战。B、C项与语境不符，故排除；able强调能力，不是主动性，与语境不符，故选D。 23. B 动词辨析题。support支撑，支持；promise承诺，应允；continue继续；improve改善，提高，根据语境，此处词意为承诺，故选B。 24. C 考查语境中动词的使用。ask要求，问；surprise吃惊；remind提醒；demand要求，根据语境和词意，故选C。 25. B 连词辨析题。句意：我们还提醒他们，如果我们不能完工，他们不会赔钱，但是如果我们成功了，他们就会有大钱可赚。显然句子先后是转折关系，故选B。 26. B 考查名词与介词的固定搭配。go into discussion不成立，常用under discussion在讨论中；go into action行动起来；go into practice不成立，常用put …into action付诸实施；go into production开始大量生产，从结构角度，排除A、C项，D项语意不符，故选B。
27. A 考查语境用词。前文提到晚上干活用电问题，此处应指接下来的挑战，故选A。 28. B 考查语境用词。下句中提到租用了所有的洒水车，故选B。 29. D 考查语境关系用词。上文提到买不起新的洒水车，下文说有了另一种特别想法。naturally自然地；obviously明显地；meanwhile同时；instead代替，顶替，故选D。 30.

书面表达 One possible version: Recently we have held a class meeting to discuss what is considered to be honorable behavior and what is shameful. To be frank, some students don't respect their teachers or parents. Some don't take their studies seriously and cheat in exams. Still some litter around, making the school dirty. It is really a pity to see all this in our school. We think it honorable to obey the law and rules and care much about our class. It is also worthy of praise to study hard. On the other hand, it is shameful to break school rules, to be selfish or to make little effort to achieve success. To improve the present situation, what shall we do in future? Firstly, set ourselves a goal and work hard to achieve our ambitions. Secondly, respect others and think more of them than of ourselves. In addition, we should try hard to keep the environment clean.

Examine the sentences below and tell the similarity and difference between these two sentences.
Looking carefully at the ground, I made my way to the edge of the crater.
Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn’t take my notice.
The –ing form can be used as an adverbial in a sentence to give information about time, reasons or results. We use the construction having+past participle to refer to an action that took place before the time expressed by the main verb.
Grammar–ing 形式作状语
一、ing形式作状语,可以表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、行为方式、伴随状况等。
用法
例句
时间
Crossing the road, he was ran over by a car. Having done their homework, the students played football.
原因
Not knowing English, he couldn't understand the film.
Having lived in Shanghai, he knows the place very well.
条件
Working hard, you will do well in the exam.
Turning to the left, you will see the post office.
让步
Working or reading, she always did her best.
Not being a rich man himself, he helped the
poor generously.
伴随
The children went into the classroom, talking
and laughing.
She sat there, staring at the ceiling.
结果
His parents died in the war, leaving him an
orphan.
The child fell, striking his head against the
door and cutting it.
二、 –ing形式的完成式
句型
主动
Having +p.p. …, 主语+谓语
被动
(Having been) +p.p…, 主语+谓语
用法
-ing完成式所表示的动作发生在句中谓语动词所表示的动作之前，一般在句中作时间或原因状语用被动语态-ing完成式所表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前，在句中一般作状语用
例句
Having answered the letter, she went on to read an English novel. Having been shown the lab, we were taken to see the library.
三、学习-ing形式作状语的用法时,需要注意以下四点:
一、与过去分词作状语的区别。? 一般来说,-ing形式表示主动、进行;过去分词表示被动、完成。试比较: The?enemy?fled?in?a?panic,?leaving?behind?a?lot?of?dead?bodies?and?weapons. Defeated?and?frightened,?the?enemy?fled?in?a?panic. 分析:前一例中的-ing形式短语在句子中作伴随状语,它与其逻辑主语the?enemy之间为主动关系;后一句中的过去分词defeated和frightened表原因,它与其逻辑主语the?enemy之间为被动关系。
二、分词(短语)作状语时，其逻辑主语必须与句子的主语一致。如果不一致，必须用独立主格结构来表示，也就是在分词前面加上它的逻辑主语。
1. Comparing all the great people with each other, you’ll find that they have much in common.
2. Finding her car stolen, she hurried to a policeman for help.
3. The train having gone, we had to wait another day.
分析:前两例中,-ing形式的逻辑主语均为主句的主语。最后一例中having gone的逻辑主语是 the train。
三、 -ing形式的否定式。其基本结构是:not + -ing形式,无论在完成式还是被动式里,not必须置于-ing形式之前。如: Not having finished his homework, the boy was still doing it in the classroom.? 四、?-ing形式(短语)的功能有时相当于一个状语从句。?? 根据这个性质,我们在使用-ing形式作状语时,切记不要在前面或后面的句子前用连词连接。如: Walking?on?the?fallen?leaves?in?autumn,?so?you’ll?feel?very?comfortable.(×) 分析:如前所述,-ing形式短语相当于一个状语从句,所以后半句中的连词so的使用是错误的,应该去掉。原句应改为: ?Walking?on?the?fallen?leaves?in?autumn,?you’ll?feel?very?comfortable.

Unit 5 The power of nature
Grammar—the －ing Form
教案
Review the usage of v–ing form:
1. Write the following pairs of sentences(or other similar ones)on the board.
I was feeling tired. I went to bed early→
Feeling tired I went to bed early
I worked hard all day. I went to bed early→
Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early.
Ask student to consider when the action in each pair of sentences happened and
Lead them to understand that in the first pair of sentences, the feeling and the
action are happening at the same time; whereas in the second pair, the working all
day happened before he/she was tired.
3. Examine the sentences below and discuss in what way the structures similar to each other and in what way they are different
Looking carefully at the ground, I made my way to the edge of the crater.
Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn’t take much notice.
Having + past participle (the perfect v–ing form) to refer to an action that took place before the time expressed by main verb.
4. Read and discuss Exercise 1 in the SB
5. Set Exercise 2. check answers and discuss structures.
6. Set Exercise 3, 4 and 5. check answers after each exercise and discuss reasons for
the structures used.
7. 小结v-ing 形式的用法
v–ing 形式作状语
用法
例句
时间
Walking along the street, I met Mary. (= While I was walking along the street….)在街上走的时候，我遇到了玛丽。
条件
Turning to the left, you will find the school. (= If you turn to the left, ….)向左走，你就会找到那个学校
让步
Knowing where I live, he never come to see me .(= Though he knows where I
live, ….)尽管他知道我的住处，但从不来看我。
伴随
I stood there, waiting for her. (= …, and waited for her.)我站在那儿等她
原因
Being tired , I stopped to take a rest. (= Because I was tired, ….)因为疲倦，我停下来休息。
结果
It rained heavily, causing severe flooding in the area.(= It rained heavily so that it caused severe flooding in the area.)在这个地方雨下的如此大，以至引发了洪灾。
. 使用v-ing形式需注意的几个问题:
.①分词(短语)作状语时，其逻辑主语必须与句子的主语一致。如果不一致，必须
用独立主格结构来表示，也就是在分词前面加上它的逻辑主语。
My wife had a long talk with Sally, explaining why she didn’t want the
children to play together
我妻子与莎莉谈了很长时间，解释她为什么不想让
孩子们在一起玩。(现在分词explaining是句子主语my wife做的动作，它
们之间是主动关系,即explaining的逻辑主语，就是句子的主语my wife 。) The train having gone, we had to wait another day.（the train逻辑主语 +
having gone 既为独立主格结构）
②分词短语做状语时，前面可以加上连词或 介词，但是分词短语和句子之间不能用并列连词(如but，and)，因为并列连词接的是两个并列成分，而分词短语只是全句的一个状语部分。分词和主句之间可用逗号。
例如: 误: Having been told many times，but he still couldn’t understand it. 正: He was told many times, but he still couldn’t understand it.或
Having been told many times， he still couldn’t understand it.
③v-ing的一般式和完成式现在分词都可以表示先后接连发生的动作。在可能引起误解的场合应该用完成式现在分词表示先发生的动作。
例如:
Opening the drawer，he took out his wallet. (=He opened the drawer and took
out his wallet.)他打开抽屉，拿出钱包。
Coming into the room，he put down his bag. (=he came into the room and put
down his bag.)他走进房间，放下提包。
Having brushed his teeth，Mr. Brown came downstairs for breakfast.
布朗先生刷过牙，就下楼来吃早饭。 (此句如写成:Brushing his teeth,
Mr. Brown came downstairs for breakfast.可能指“边刷牙，边下楼’。
④分词的否定形式是在分词短语前面加上 not, never等否定词构成。
例如: Not fearing the fire, the child touched and got a finger burnt.
小孩儿不知道怕火，用手去摸，把手指烫了。 Not knowing how to find the subway, I asked a policeman for help. 我不知道怎
样找到地铁，就去找警察帮忙。
Unit 5 The power of nature
Grammar—the －ing Form
教案
教学内容分析
This teaching period mainly deals with the grammar：the －ing form.In the English language，the －ing form of a verb may be a present participle or a gerund.The form is identical and the difference is in the fun_ction，or the job it does in the sentence.The present participle is most commonly used：
(1)After verbs of movement/position in the pattern.
(2)After verbs of perception in the pattern.The gerund always has the same fun_ction as a noun(although it looks like a verb)．
In this period we will focus on only part of the usages of the present participle，that is，the present participle used as the adverbial.

1. I was fast asleep when suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound, like a railway train passing my window. 我睡得正酣，正在这时我的床开始晃动，我听到一种奇怪的声音，就像一列火车正从我窗外驶过。 when引导了时间状语从句。在此状语从句中，and连接两个并列的句子。like a railway train passing my window为介词短语作定语，修饰sound，而a railway train passing my window为like的复合宾语。 “be+形容词/表示状态的介词短语+when ...”表示“正在做某事，就在这时……”。 联想拓展 be about to do sth. when ... 正要做某事，就在这时…… be doing+when ... 正在做某事，就在这时……(分句中的动作往往是短暂性的) had just done when ... 刚做过某事，就在这时…… 温馨提示 此时的when不可以与while互换,也不可以将when引导的从句置于句首。 I was fast asleep when suddenly there was a loud noise outside my room. 我睡得正香，就在这时房外传来巨大的噪音。 He was on a journey to Europe when he received her call. 他正在去欧洲的旅行中，就在这时他接到了她的电话。 We were on a flight to Tokyo when suddenly I remembered I had left my passport home. 我们正在去东京的飞机上，这时我突然想起我把护照忘在了家里。 单项填空 ?? The boys were about to go out to play football _____ suddenly it began to rain. When????????? B. as???????????? C. while?????????? D. Then ?? 解析：选A。考查“be about to do when ...”的句型。此结构的意思是 “正要做某事，就在这时……” 。其中when相当于and just then，不可以用while, as等替换。 2. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them. 另外两人攀下火山口去收集供日后研究用的岩浆，我是第一次经历这样的事，所以留在山顶上观察他们。 句中的this being my first experience为独立主格结构。 独立主格结构（Absolute Structure）是由名词或代词加上分词等构成的一种独立结构，用于修饰整个句子。独立主格结构中的名词或代词与其后的分词等构成逻辑上的主谓关系。这种结构与主句不发生句法上的联系，它的位置相当灵活，可置于主句前、主句末或主句中，常由逗号将其与主句分开。需要特别注意的是，独立主格结构与主句之间不能使用任何连接词。 独立主格结构基本构成形式为： 名词(代词)+现在分词（过去分词/形容词/副词/不定式/名词/介词短语） Night enshrouding the earth, nobody could make out what the dark mass was from a distance. 黑夜笼罩大地，谁也看不清远处黑压压的一片是什么东西。 There being no bus, we had to walk home. 由于没有公共汽车，我们只好走回家。 The workers worked still harder, their living conditions greatly improved. 由于工人们的生活条件大大提高，他们工作得更起劲了。 He was listening attentively in class, his eyes fixed on the blackboard. 他上课专心听讲，眼睛紧盯着黑板。 单项填空 The robber was brought to the judge, _______ ． A. with his hands were fast tied B. his hands to be fast tied C. his hands fast tied D. his hand having been fast tied 解析：选C。独立主格结构是短语的形式作定语或状语。“his hands fast tied”是一个由“名词+过去分词”构成的独立结构，这种结构的名词后还可以接介词短语等，在句中通常作状语。再如：The teacher came into the classroom, books in hand。 3. Having taken the wrong bus, Martin found himself in an unfamiliar district. 由于乘错了车，马丁发现自己到了一个不熟悉的地区。 find oneself后跟doing、v.?ed形式、形容词、介词短语、副词等，表示“在无意识中出现了某种情况”。 When she came to herself, she found herself covered with a blanket. 当她苏醒过来的时候，她发现自己身上盖着一条毯子。 When food was served, we suddenly found ourselves very hungry.当食物端上来的时候，我们突然觉得饿了。 When dawn came, we found ourselves walking on a country road.黄昏时分，我们发现自己走在一条乡间的路上。 Suddenly I found myself making the same mistake as I made yesterday.突然间，我发现自己又犯了昨天的错误。 单项填空 When the boy came to himself, he found himself _____ by his teacher and classmates, which made him quite moved.? A. Surrounding??????????????????? B. surround C. Surrounded???????????????????? D. surrounds 解析：选C。考查find后动词的非谓语形式。himself与surround之间为被动关系，因此用过去分词。

Step ⅠWarming Up
Lead the students to the topic by telling them a story. Then get the students to describe a volcano eruption according to the diagram. After they are familiar with the topic, let them list some other powerful natural forces and discuss the ways human beings protect themselves from the natural forces.
T: Listen to me carefully. I will tell you a story about a strange city. The strange city named Pompeii is a dead city. No one has lived there for nearly two thousand years, yet every year thousands of people travel from distant countries to visit it. It died suddenly in a terrible rain of fire and ash. Tons of hot ash fell on Pompeii, hiding it from sight. For three days the sun didn’t break through the clouds of ash in the sky. Then the whole city shook and buildings fell down. When everything was calm, Pompeii was buried deep. A city disappeared and people there lost their lives too. Can you guess what had happened to the city?
S1: There must have been a terrible earthquake. After the terrible quake, everything was destroyed.
T: Yes. It’s one kind of the causes. Any different ideas?
S2: Maybe a volcano erupted and a terrible rain of fire and ash fell on the city.
T: You got it! Mount Vesuvius, which had slept quietly for centuries, erupted suddenly. It destroyed the city Pompeii. How terrible! Have you ever seen a volcano erupting? Please turn to page 33. Look at the diagram. Describe a volcano erupting using the diagram and the given words.
S3: When boiling rock erupts from the volcano, the red hot lava rushes hundreds of metres into the air and a cloud of ash goes straight up into the air. Ash cloud forms. Rocks, fire, ash fall onto the ground. The lava flows slowly down the mountain. It buries everything in its path under the molten rock.
S4: Sometimes, volcano erupting can cause some other disasters like earthquakes, fire and ground sea.
T: How powerful the nature is! The lava can buries everything in its path. A volcano erupting can damage a city. A flood can carry everything in its path, while a fire will damage everything it meets. It seems that we human beings are powerless in front of these natural forces. What can we do to protect ourselves from powerful natural forces? Please work in groups of four to list some other natural forces and discuss the ways that human beings protect ourselves.
A few minutes later.
T: Who would like to share your opinion with the class?
S5: I’d like to talk about volcano. Sometimes, the volcano gives warnings in the form of many small earthquakes. And scientists can provide warnings of possible volcano explosions with the help of equipment. So the government can help people who live near the volcano leave their homes before erupting.
S6: We are more familiar with fire. In fact, it can be avoided most of the time, if we are careful in our daily life. I know a way of controlling the fire. Firefighters burn the trees which are in the path of the fire, so there is nothing to burn when the fire arrives.
S7: Flood always happens in the south of our country. Predication is very important. Scientist keep observing the level of the water during the summer. People strengthen the bank and move to higher land.
S8: We have learned more about earthquakes. People have learned many ways to protect themselves. For example, earthquake happens, if you are in bed, stay where you are and protect your head with a pillow. If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings, trees and streetlights.
S9: I think the best way is to move to a safer place where fire, earthquake, flood and hurricane will never happen.
Step Ⅱ Pre-reading
Get the students to answer the six questions on page 33 to find out whether they will enjoy working as a volcanologist. And then get them to talk about the occupation according to the questions.
T: I see. Prediction is very important. We can say scientists play an important part in protecting people from natural forces. Would you like to study volcanoes? And do you want to be a volcanologist?
Ss: Yes.
T: Let’s test whether you are suitable for this job or not. Answer “yes” or “no” to these questions on page 33.
The students answer the questions to see if they are suitable to be a volcanologist.
T: Are you suitable for the job? Who can tell us what kind of person can be a volcanologist?
S1: First he must be brave enough because he must climb into a live volcano to take the temperature of the boiling rock inside.
S2: I think interest is the most important. He should show great interest in studying rocks and volcanoes.
S3: He should be interested in travelling to unusual places and like adventure in his life.
S4: If you want to be a volcanologist, you should enjoy working outside because a lot of work need to be done outdoors.
Step Ⅲ While-reading
Scanning
Get the students to read the passage quickly and accurately. Give them a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell them to read the text silently and then ask them some detailed questions about the text.
T: What does a volcanologist do? Is the work interesting? Let’s read a passage written by a volcanologist. The volcanologist enjoys his job very much. He described his exciting job. And he wrote down his first sight of an eruption. Now let’s read the text quickly and find out the answers to these questions Comprehending Exercise 1 on page 35 .
Several minutes later.
Check the answer..
Skimming
In this part, the students will read the text quickly to get the general idea of the passage. Check the answers with the whole class, then explain some sentences or words that the students may find hard to understand.
T: Now please read the text again and try to get the main idea of the passage in groups of four.
Three or four minutes later.
T: Have you got the general idea of the text?
It wasn’t very easy to walk in these clothes, and we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling center. Though I was a little afraid, I wanted to climb down into the crater to collect some lava. But this being my first experience, I could only stayed at the top and watched the two scientists. At that time I determined to be a volcanologist forever.
Discussion
T: In the writer’s opinion, his job is the greatest one. Do you like this occupation? Why or why not? Discuss in groups of four.
S2: I would not like to be a volcanologist. I prefer to work in an office to do some research work. It’s a waste of time and energy to spend so much time traveling.
S3: I hope to be a vocanologist. You’ll be proud of yourself when people escape before volcano erupting because of your work. Also, I am interested in the rocks and other things that make up the surface of the earth. I want to know the secret of the earth.
S4: It is not my ideal occupation. I like traveling to unusual places, studying different cultures, talking with interesting people and collecting interesting things. But I’m not brave enough to climb into a live volcano to take the temperature of the boiling rock inside.
S5: I don’t like this job. It’s too dangerous. If the volcano erupts suddenly when you are collecting the lava, maybe you will lose your life.
T: Well, if you meet the writer, what kind of questions would you ask him?
S6: Aren’t you afraid when you walk towards the volcano? It’s so hot and the volcano may erupt again.
S7: What should you do if you get lost on your way to the volcano?
S8: When did you begin to be interested in volcanoes?
S9: How will you escape if the volcano erupts suddenly?
S10: Are there any living things in volcanoes?
S11: Why do people live near the volcanoes since they may lose their homes or even lives?
Writing characteristics
T: Good! If you are interested in this occupation, you can get more information on the Internet. Now who can summarize the writing style and techniques of this text?
The teacher can ask the students to have a discussion in pairs or groups, and then ask some of them to show their ideas.
Sample answers:
This passage was written by a volcanologist. He uses the first person to describe his exciting job and his experience and express his true love for his job. The words are vivid and the description is natural, which makes the readers feel as if they were watching the volcano eruption and begin to like the occupation. For example, he uses “like a railway train passing outside my window”, “suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day” and “red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the sky” to describe the big noise and fantastic sight of volcano eruption. To tell readers that his job is interesting, the writer uses several “sometimes”, which makes the readers feel the job is extremely interesting and want to be a vocanologist. The writer talks about the volcano objectively. He points out the damages of volcano but he praises its fantastic sight at the same time.
T: What can we learn from the text?
S: The key word of the text is “exciting”, which is the focus of the passage. By telling the readers his everyday work, the importance of his job, his first sight of volcano eruption and his sincere love for his job, the author proves it’s his chief enjoyment to be a volcanologist. And I appreciate the writer’s attitude towards nature. We should love nature and we can do something to minimize the damage caused by natural forces.
Step Ⅴ Homework
T: Now it’s time for homework. Today you have two tasks to finish after class. The first task is to finish exercises in Discovering useful words and expressions on page 35. These exercises will help you practice the words and expressions we’ve just learned. The second one is to retell the text. That’s all for today. See you tomorrow.

Step I Listening
The students will listen to the volcanologists talk about their most frightening experience. First get the students to describe the three pictures to help them recall the words or expressions they’ve learned about the occupation — volcanologist. Then listen and write their names under the pictures.
T: Do you still remember the work of a volcanologist?
Ss: Yes. He collects information about a volcano to help predict volcano’s eruption.
T: How can they get the information?
S1: They must climb into a live volcano to take the temperature of the boiling rock inside and collect some lava for later study.
T: Excellent! Please turn to page 38. Describe the three pictures with your partners. We’ll ask some of you to describe the pictures in class.
The students work in pairs to describe the pictures. They can turn to the text if they have some difficulty.
T: Who will describe Picture 1?
S2: A helicopter is flying to the volcano, when suddenly the volcano erupts. The ash and boiling rocks rush into the air hundreds of metres high. Luckily, the helicopter is not near the volcano, or it will be melt.
T: Picture 2?
S3: The volcano is erupting. The lava is flowing slowly down the mountain. A volcanologist is collecting lava with a special tool. He wears special clothes. It seems very dangerous to work there.
T: How about Picture 3?
S4: After an eruption, a crater formed. A woman volcanologist is making records and collecting information. She also wears special clothes to protect herself.
T: These pictures are about the most frightening experience of three vocanologists. They tell us their stories. Please listen and write their names under the pictures.
Get the students to listen to the tape for the first time and finish Exercise 1. Then check the answers with he whole class.
Ask the students to read the questions in Exercise 2 before listening. Then play the tape, stop the tape after each person has spoken. Listen to the tape again if the students cannot write down the answers.
T: The volcanologist sound very young. How long has he / she been a volcanologist? Let’s listen to the tape again. Read the questions first and then listen and write down your answers. I’ll stop the tape after each person has spoken. If you have any question, hands up!
Play the tape for the third time. Make sure the students understand the sentences in Exercise 3 and know what they are asked to do.
T: The three vocanologists describe their experiences. Please read the following sentences first. Can you understand all of them?
S5: Can you explain this sentence “I was trembling almost as much as the ground under my feet”?
T: It means “The ground is shaking. I am very nervous so I am shaking, too.” Any other question? Write the name of the person beside the things they said.
The students listen and write down their answers.
Step Ⅲ Speaking
First, get the students to think of ways to express fear and anxiety.
Second, ask the students to think of powerful natural forces that they have experienced. If they didn’t experience any such things, they can imagine according to the text and what they heard just now. Then they are required to tell their similar experience and how they felt using expressions from Exercise 5 in Listening.
T: The speakers describe their fear or anxiety. We can find these sentences in Exercise 3. How do you express fear or anxiety? Read these sentences aloud and then think of other ways.
T: Who’d like to answer this question?
S1: There are many ways to show fear. For example, I was so terrified that I ran as fast as possible till I found I was in my office.
S2: Knowing I was admitted to the university, I was so excited that I cried loudly.
S3: I was in a panic so I checked all the windows and the door several times to make sure they were all locked.
S4: I was relieved when all the people were removed to a safer place.
S5: I was trembling and couldn’t write a word.
S6: I was so nervous that I couldn’t read the text fluently.
S7: I was so anxious that I couldn’t sit but walk back and forth in the playground.
S8: I got up the courage to knock the door.
T: Wonderful! I believe you have more ways to express fear or anxiety, but there isn’t enough time. Let’s turn to another topic — a frightening experience. We have listened to the frightening experience of three volcanologists. It’s your turn to tell us your frightening experience. Think of a powerful natural force such as an earthquake, flood that you have experienced. If you didn’t experience such thing, your imagination will help you. Tell your partners your experiences and how you feel. Try to use expressions from Exercise 3.
The students talk in pairs. After a few minutes, ask some students to tell their stories in class.
T: Who will be the first to tell your story?
S1: I was twelve years old when the mud-rock flow happened in the afternoon. My father and I were in the bookstore, enjoying the music and novels. I sat by the window, reading an interesting story. Suddenly I heard a strange noise. I looked out of the window. “My God!” I shouted. “A chocolate-colored flood is rushing down the street.” All the people ran to the window and saw what was happening, “Mud-rock flow!” Everybody was frightened and tried to rush upstairs. My father made his way to me and pulled me by the arm and shouted, “To the hill.” We all kept running till we were on the top of the hill, which is just behind the bookstore. What a sad sight! Many houses slid by like toys. Beds were rolling in the flood with rocks. It lasted for twenty minutes. People ran to their homes and began to look for their family members, shouting and running.
S2: It was a beautiful Sunday morning in the small town. I was reading a book near my home. My twelve-year-old sister Lihua was playing with a basketball. As I read, I looked up and saw a huge, black cloud far away to the west. It might rain, I thought. Soon, I heard a noise what sounded like a big gun. The sound seemed to grow louder. I looked up again. This time, I saw a huge cloud moving quickly across the sky. We watched as the sky grew darker. The cloud began to block light from the sun. I again looked at my book. I noticed something unusual on the book. It looked like very fine dust. How strange, I thought. It is raining dust! My sister and I ran into the house and told my parents about what we saw. They turned on the television. We saw the report about the volcano explosion. The cloud covering the sky was ash from the volcano. The cloud had now almost covered the whole sky. In a moment, it was as black as night. A strong chemical smell was in the air. Ash fell very quickly in huge amounts. The ash now covered the ground. It was a frightening experience. We continued to watch television report. Experts said they did not know what would happen. I looked outside the house again and wondered, “Will the ash bury us?” The volcano exploded for more than eight hours. At last, everything returned calm. We can saw the sky again. I was still terrified that I couldn’t stand up to see the different world outside.
S3: I will tell you another volcano eruption. The volcano is one of the most frightening forces of nature. At that time I was a volcanologist. The volcano had been giving warnings for three months. These warnings were in the form of many small earthquakes. Several weeks earlier, government officials had declared an emergency. They barred people from entering the Mount Saint Helen’s area. A special permit was needed to travel near the mountain. Officials also forced people who lived near the mountain to leave their homes. It was the day before the explosion, we went there to watch the development and collect some information. The morning when we were having breakfast, the ground trembled. We ran out of the house. A strange smell was in the air. Fire, rock and volcanic gas flew out of the volcano with an unimaginable force. A cloud of ash went straight up more than twenty kilometers into the air in less than fifteen minutes. A very large wall of melted rock moved down the side of a mountain. It looked like a “river of fire”. Five hours later, the eruption stopped and all was peaceful.

After reading the text, the students will learn the way of describing a place of interest. Get the students to read the notes first, and then let them discuss in which aspects they will introduce hot springs. And then let them write a paragraph about hot springs.
T: The writer tells us we can bathe in hot water pools if we visit Changbaishan, but he didn’t introduce hot springs to us. Now turn to page 40, you will find some notes about hot springs. Let’s introduce hot springs to our readers by using these notes. The title should be — Hot Springs in Changbaishan. While writing, make use of the writing techniques of the text we read just now. Before writing, discuss with your partners in which aspects you will describe hot springs.
S1: I will write a paragraph in three parts. First, I will describe Changbaishan, and then tell readers why the water is hot. In the last part, I will describe the benefits of bathing in hot springs.
A sample version:
Hot Springs in Changbaishan
Changbaishan is a famous nature reserve, most of which is covered with thick forest. It’s home to a great diversity of plants and animals. Among the rare animals are cranes, black bears, leopards and Siberian tigers. The most popular attraction in the reserve is Tianchi where you can enjoy the sight of the crystal clear waters and the view of the other sixteen mountain peaks that surround Tianchi.
When you have finished your visit to Tianchi, don’t rush away. There are plenty of other things to see and do in Changbaishan. For example, you can relax in the nearby hot springs. There are many pools heated by hot water out of the ground. What’s more, you can find water is heated by boiling rocks in the ground. If you are hungry, put an egg into the water. After a few minutes, you can have a delicious egg. There are so many hot springs, 13 pools in 1,000 square metres area, that you can choose one you like best. Some pools are very hot (over 60℃), but others are very pleasant for bathing.
Staying in the pools can not only help you refresh yourself but also be good for health. It’s a great enjoyment to bathe in hot springs and admire the beautiful scenery.
Step Ⅳ Homework
T: Describe a typhoon, a snowstorm or a hailstorm. Collect some information about them if you didn’t experience any of them.
(A Typhoon) When I was ten years old, I met a typhoon. It really was a frightening typhoon. That evening was so dark. I still can't forget it. It was a rainy day. Although it was early, the sky was very dark. I was walking in the street with my mother. We were going home. The wind blew more and more strongly. We felt the difference. We started to run fast in order to go home in no time. But the wind was still faster than feet. Suddenly, lots of litter was blown away. The typhoon blew up. We couldn't hold the umbrella. It was raining heavily and we were all wet. Cold and fright went through our bodies. The big trees began to shake. Leaves fell down. We couldn't breathe. The wind blew in our face. It was so sharp. I was afraid I would be blown away, too. I held my mother tightly. We tried our best to run. But we couldn't.I was excited because we were near our home. A few minutes later, we arrived home. "I am still alive," I said to myself happily. I saw the big typhoon through the window. "How strong the typhoon is! I want to be strong, too."
