讲得通; 有意义神舟6号 费俊龙聂海胜被授予英雄航天员荣誉称号 神舟6号 神舟6号 Who is the famous rocket expert in China?Qian Xuesen Qian Xuesen is one of the best-known scientists in China. His work has been very important for the development of China. What do you know about Qian Xuesen? Yu Ping is telling her friend Steve Smith about Qian Xueshen’s life. Listen to the tape and then answer the questions. Yu Ping and her friend Steve Smith are talking about Qian Xuesen, who has made great contributions to the development of China’s space industry. Before you listen to the tape, look at the screen and read the new words in the material :
astronomer (天文学家)
astronaut (宇航员)
institute (研究所)2 Listen to Parts 1 and 2 of the tape for the first time and write down the main idea.1.What did Qian Xuesen study first?
Qian Xuesen first studied to be an
engineer.
2.What experience did he get in America
that was very useful for China?
In America he began to work on space
rockets so that he was able to develop a
space programme when he came back
to China.3.What was Qian Xuesen's achievement
when he returned to China from
America?
When Qian Xuesen returned to China
he set up a space institute to begin
training people in how to design and
build rockets.4 Listen to Part 2 and fill in the chart below.1 Chinese astronauts in space2 Chinese satellites in space1become a rocket scientist2 be the first to land on Mars and put Qian Xuesen’s picture there A GREAT CHINESE SCIENTIST
Father of the Chinese space programme
Yu Ping (YP) is talking to her friend Steve Smith (SS) about Qian Xuesen and his work as a rocket scientist. Listening textYP: What do you want to be when you
grow up, Steve?
SS: I want to be an astronomer and visit
stars. I wish to visit Mars one day.
YP: I think I’d like to work in the space
industry too. I'd like to be a rocket
scientist like Qian Xuesen.
SS: What did he have to do to become a
rocket scientist?YP: Well, he first studied at university to
be an engineer. Later he went to
America to study for his doctor’s
degree. It was then he began to work
on rockets.
SS: So it was lucky for our space
programme that he came back to
China.YP: Very much so. There was no work on
space rockets in China before he
began his institute to design and
build rockets to go into space.
Part 2
SS: Do you think he wanted to travel
into space in one of his rockets?
YP: I have no idea but I believe he
looked forward to the first space
flight by a Chinese astronaut.SS: Yes. Now that China has sent
satellites into space. I hope we’ll be
the first to land on Mars. That would
really be something special and if I
were that astronaut I would put Qian
Xuesen’s picture on Mars to show
how much we admire his work.YP: Indeed. He is rightly called the
father of the Chinese space
programme. He is my hero and he
is why I want to be a rocket
scientist.
SS: Well, we’d better get on with our
homework. We need good grades
to get into university.
YP: Right you are. See you, then.
SS: See you.In groups discuss what scientific job each of you would like to choose in the future.These questions may help you:
1 What job do you want to do?
2 What education will you need?
3 What personality will be needed?
4 How long will the training take?
5 What work experience would be useful?
6 How will you prepare for this career?MIKE: What do you want to do when
you grow up?
LI RU: I want to build robots. I will have
to do a physics and mathematics
degree in China. After that I hope to go abroad
to Reading University in
England where you can study
all about robots. There is a
special cybernetics(控制论)
department there.
MIKE: What personality will be needed
for that job?LI RU: I think I need to be patient
for my ideas which will take a
long time to develop. I also
need to be creative enough to
have good ideas.
MIKE: What experience will be most
useful to you?LI RU: I think technology and
engineering projects. I hope
to work in a factory in my
holidays.
MIKE: What kind of person makes a
good inventor?LI RU: I think someone who is happy to
persevere at something and
learns from his mistakes.
MIKE: Thank you. I think designing
robots sounds fun. COPERNICUS’

Born in Torun, he began his university studies in Krakow in 1491, where he studied canon law and Latin and Greek classics. However he also had an interest in mathematics and astronomy. After obtaining his degree of Doctor of Canon Law (教会法规博士学位)in Italy in 1503, Copernicus returned home to Warmia in Poland to serve as Canon (=priest) .
In 1530, Copernicus completed his great work De Revolutionibus (《天体运行论》).Copernicus knew that these findings would lead him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church (罗马天主教教徒), so he was in no hurry to publish his theory. He only published it as he lay dying in 1543.
Though Copernicus did not live to hear of its extraordinary impact, the book which first suggested that the Sun, not the Earth, is the centre of the universe is now recognized as one of the most influential scientific works of all time. 哥白尼(Nicolaus Copernicus, 1473-
1543), 波兰天文学家、日心说创立者,
近代天文学的奠基人。 哥白尼经过长期的天文观测和研究, 创立了更为科学的宇宙结构体系——日心说, 从此否定了在西方统治达一千多年的地心说。日心说经历了艰苦的斗争后,才为人们所接受, 这是天文学上一次伟大的革命,不仅引起了人类宇宙观的重大革新,而且从根本上动摇了欧洲中世纪宗教神学的理论支柱。“从此自然科学便开始从神学中解放出来”,“科学的发展从此便大踏步前进”(恩格斯《自然辩证法》)。 哥白尼著有阐述日心说的《天体运行论》(1543年出版),由于受到时代的局限,在日心说中保留了所谓“完美的”圆形轨道等论点。其后开普勒建立行星运动三定律,牛顿发现万有引力定律,以及行星光行差、视差相继发现,日心说遂建立在更加稳固的科学基础上。 We know the first scientist is Copernicus. He was one of the first scientists to use mathematical observations to collect information. He believed the sun is the center of the universe and the earth and other planets went around it. The chart on P.7 shows his theory.Copernicus’ Revolutionary TheoryBirth: February 19, 1473
Death: May 24, 1543
Place of Birth: Toruń, Poland
Career:
1491-1494 Studied mathematics at Kraków Academy
1496 Went to Italy to study astronomy and law at the University of Bologna Nicolas Copernicus1497 Began observations of the Sun,
Moon, and planets
1514 Wrote Commentariolus, an outline
of his astronomical ideas, but did not
circulate it widely
1543 Published De Revolutionibus
Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions
of the Celestial) At Copernicus’ time, Christian Church
was in charge of many western
countries.Read through the passage, and tell
whether the following statements are
true or false. 3. Copernicus didn’t show his new theory
to his friends until he completed it.
4. His friends were not interested in his
ideas.2. Copernicus noticed that observed from the earth, some planets appear in front of or behind the earth.5. Since he was not afraid of being attacked by the Church, Copernicus published his book as soon as he finished working on it.
6. Newton, Einstein, and Hawking are all scientists who made contributions to the study of the universe. A diagram showing the solar system with the earth at its centreA diagram showing the solar system with the sun as its centreRead carefully and try to draw the two
theories of the universe.1. What conclusion did Copernicus’
mathematical calculations lead to?
2. Why couldn’t he tell anyone about the
theory?
3. How many years did Copernicus work
on the problem to complete his theory?
4. When did Copernicus publish his theory?
5. Do you think it’s right for Copernicus to
publish his theory that late?Read the text and answer the following questions.His mathematical calculations led to the conclusion that the earth was not the center of the solar system.What conclusion did Copernicus’ mathematical calculations lead to?Because the powerful Christian Church would have punished him for even suggesting such an idea.2. Why couldn’t he tell anyone about the theory?4 years.3. How many years did Copernicus work on the problem to complete his theory?Students give their own answers.5. Do you think it’s right for Copernicus to publish his theory that late?He published his theory as he lay dying in 1543.4. When did Copernicus publish his theory?2 If you were Nicolaus Copernicus, would you have hidden your theory for so many years?
Give your reasons. As a scientist, Copernicus was more
cautious than coward. If he had
published his ideas at his time, he would
have been killed just as Bruno who was
burnt to death because his theory was
against the Christian Church’s.
Every time a new idea appears,
there are always rejections. It’s normal.
Scientists should have patience to
spread their truth.1) 这个句子,好像一点也讲不通。

why he should publish his theory. Now write a short letter asking
Copernicus to publish his ideas so
everyone can read them.Second make a plan. For example
Beginning: Tell Copernicus who you are and why you want him to publish his ideas.
Paragraph 1: Reason 1 and evidence.
Paragraph 2: Reason 2 and evidence.
Conclusion: Ask him to think again about publishing his ideas. Dear Nicolaus Copernicus,
I am a student studying astronomy and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons.
I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planetsmove is not what you would expect if the earth was the centre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need new theory. I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know you worry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter how people oppose it, time will show if your ideas are right or wrong.
So I hope you will feel you can
publish your new theory.
Yours sincerely,
