Unit 3 Life in the future
本单元教学内容为人教版新课标Module 5 Unit 3 Life in the future。本单元的中心话题是“未来生活”,教材内容为学生提供了想象的空间,旨在培养学生预测未来的能力,通过对现实生活与未来生活的对比,唤醒学生把握现在,珍惜现在,爱护环境,保护自然的意识。   
第一篇Reading文章主要讲述主人公Li Qiang在时空旅行前、时空旅行中及时空旅行后的所见所想。
第二篇则主要记叙了Li Qiang在太空站认识的两个非常特别的太空生物,并将两个生物的特征进行了对比。两篇阅读文章都是科幻型阅读,旨在唤起学生的想象力,培养学生对未来生活的预测。
语法部分则延续了课文内容,通过作者对未来生活态度的讨论引出过去分词做状语及定语的用法,并以短文填空的形式来巩固文章生词的用法。
听力部分则描绘了一个拥有高新科技的wonderland,表明了人类对美好生活的追求与幻想,并最终通过口语情景设置锻炼学生综合运用英语的能力与技巧,从而对未来生活进行更细致的预测。
考虑到各部分内容的内在联系,笔者结合教学实际将同一话题不同内容与形式的材料进行了重组,对教材内容、编排顺序等进行了调整、删减和补充,将整个单元设计成四个课时,丰富了教学内容和语言活动形式。

注 意
作状语的过去分词其逻辑主语通常就是句子的主语,且主语是过去分词动作的承受者,即过去分词表示的动作不是句子的主语发出的;过去分词与主语之间是动宾关系,即被动关系。这一点是与现在分词作状语的情况是不同的,后者与主语之间是主谓关系。
Complete each sentence using the Past Participle of the right verb. frighten trap follow shoot
1) _________ by noises in the night, the girl no longer dared to sleep in her room.
2) The lady returned home, ________ by two policemen.
3) If _______ in a burning building, you should send for help.
4) Although ____in the leg, he continued firing at the thief.
Past participle Used as the Attribute 过去分词作定语
过去分词作定语与其所修饰的词之间存在着逻辑上的被动关系,且表示该动作已经完成。单个的过去分词作定语,通常置于被修饰的词的前面;分词短语作定语时,须置于被修饰词的后面。
1. Last Sunday we went on an organized trip to the forest.           上周日我们进行了一次有组织的去森林的旅行。
2. A letter posted today will reach him the day after tomorrow.                今天寄出的信后天他就能收到。
A.被动意义
an honored guest 一位受尊敬的客人
(受伤的工人)are now being taken good care of in the hospital. (The injured workers )
B. 完成意义
a retired teacher 一位退休教师
They are cleaning (落叶) in the yard.(the fallen leaves )
过去分词作定语前置和后置
两种情况:
1.前置定语
单个的过去分词作定语, 通常放在被修饰的名词之前, 表示被动和完成意义。
2. 后置定语
过去分词短语作定语时, 通常放在被修饰的名词之后, 它的作用相当于一个定语从句。
This will be the best novel of its kind ever written.
= that has ever been written
Who were the so-called guests invited
(= who had been invited ) to your party last night?
注意:
如果被修饰的词是由every / some /any /no + thing / body /one所构成的复合代词或指示代词those等时,即使一个单一的分词作形容词用,也要放在被修饰词的后面。例如:
Is there anything unsolved?
There is noting changed here since I left this town.
现在分词与过去分词作定语的区别
现在分词作定语,它与被修饰的名词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系,而且该动词的动作正在进行。
过去分词做定语时,它与被修饰的名词存在着逻辑上有动宾关系,而且该动词的动作已经发生了。
He worked as a worker building roads. (主动)
= He worked as a worker who / that built roads.
This is a picture painted by my father. (被动)
= This is a picture which was painted by my father.

Life in the future
Sometimes I dream about life in the future. What will it be?
People can travel the outer space freely. Space shuttle can bring people to planets far from the earth. Perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday or even live on the moon, or some scientists will build cities under the sea to make people live there. We can have a medical examination without leaving our homes and children will study at home instead of going to school, which makes the life more convenient. In the future, all electric equipment at home is under the control of computers. Every day we can tell the robot what to do-shopping, housework and so on.
I believe the dream will come true someday.

Unit 3 Life in the future
教材分析
本单元以“Life in the future”为中心话题,旨在通过本单元的学习,让学生大胆发挥想象,对人类今后的生活环境,生活方式进行猜测,并在此基础上,对人类的种种活动进行反思,提倡环保生活意识。同时让学生学会过去分词作定语和作状语的不同用法。最后让学生将本单元所讨论的话题和推测手法相结合,学习怎样写report。
1. 内容梳理
1.1 Warming Up 部分利用一个关于“住”和“行”的对比研究表格引导学生回顾过去,认识现在和展望未来。通过这一活动,引发学生对过去,现在和未来的思考,使学生对将要阅读的文章有个知识准备。
1.2 Pre-reading 部分让学生充分运用发散思维,先列举当今世界人类面临的一些突出问题,然后要求学生思考为什么会产生这些问题,这些问题中哪些在未来社会仍然可能存在,哪些将会被克服,哪些将会恶化。为下面的阅读做了铺垫。
1.3 Reading 部分通过一封发自未来的电子邮件,讲述了作者Li Qiang怎样安全到达“未来世界”,他对“未来世界”的印象,以及“未来世界”的日常生活方式和交通工具情况。阅读时要把重点放在“未来世界”生活与当今生活的不同点上。
1.4 Comprehending 部分设计了三个教学活动来加深学生对Reading部分的理解。第一个活动要求学生通过阅读找出“未来世界”在以下几个方面的变化:跨时空旅行,交通,住房,城镇环境和空气质量。接着让学生在此基础上得出自己的结论,哪些变化好,哪些变化不好,并说明理由。第二个活动要求学生通过阅读来判断Li Qiang对“未来世界”的态度是乐观的还是悲观的。学生要在文中找出支持自己观点的论据,尽可能说服别人。第三个活动让学生想象一下Li Qiang将会去参加哪些活动。这样既鼓励学生展开丰富的想象,又为Using Language部分的语篇学习做了铺垫。
1.5 Learning about Language部分突出了本单元的一些重点词汇及语法。首先通过完成语篇来考查学生运用本单元词汇的能力,并且通过练习,让学生区分两种动词短语,一种是以动词为中心的词组,另一种是以介词为中心的词组。语法部分要求学生主动找出阅读语篇中的重点结构——过去分词作定语和状语,然后加以应用。
1.6 Using Language 部分涵盖了听,说,读,写四项语言基本技能。要求学生通过阅读I HAVE SEEN AMAZING THINGS 一文,对Li Qiang旅行的第三站有个总体的印象,并能找出部分细节知识。
1.7 SUMMING UP 部分归纳了本单元的主要学习内容并让学生自我检测一下学习效果。
1.8 LEARNING TIP 部分告诉学生在讨论时记笔记的好处和方法。
2. 教材重组
2.1 可将Warming Up, Pre-reading, Reading 和 Comprehending 整合在一起上一节精读课。
2.2 Using Language 中的reading 和 listening 是 Li Qiang’s travel to the future的延续,可将这两部分及Workbook 中的LISTENING整合起来上一节听力课。
2.3可将Learning about Language 和 Workbook 中的 USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS 及USING STRUCTURES整合起来上一节语法课。
2.4 将 Workbook 中的 READING TASK 和 LISTENING TASK 结合起来上一节泛读课,进一步拓展学生的思维和想象力。
2.5 将 Using Language中的speaking 和 Workbook中的TALKING 整合在一起上一节口语课,鼓励学生对现在进行反思,对未来进行大胆猜测(make predictions)。
2.6 将Workbook 中的 SPEAKING TASK 和 WRITING TASK 整合起来上一节写作课,同时对整个单元进行一个小结。

I think the writer has an optimistic view of the future. He was very excited when he traveled to the year AD 3008 and couldn’t believe it was true. From this, we can see he is eager to go to the future. Though he was hit by the lack of fresh air, the problem was immediately solved by putting on a mask. And he tells us the transport in the future is convenient. When he arrived Wang Ping’s home, he found there were many trees after the wall moved, and these trees provided the house with much-needed oxygen.

【设计意图】
复习本单元所学的词汇,完成课后练习。
Step II Grammar
The Ss will learn the usage of the past participle in different situations.
一、过去分词的形式: done
二、过去分词一般表示完成的、被动的动作。
三、过去分词的作用: 做定语,表语,状语,补足语。
过去分词作定语:
作定语用的过去分词相当于形容词,其逻辑主语就是它 所修饰的名词。及物动词的过去分词作定语,既表被动 又表完成;不及物动词的过去分词作定语,只表完成。
过去分词用作定语,如果是单个的,常置于其所修饰的 名词之前。
e.g. a broken vase, a stolen watch .
过去分词短语用作定语时,一般置于其所修饰的名词之后,其意义相当于一个定语从句,但较从句简洁,多用于书面语中。
e.g. The house built in 1912 was taken down last week.
过去分词作状语:
1. 表示被动的和完成的动作。
e.g. Given more attention, the tree can grow better.
2. 过去分词作状语时,其逻辑主语为主句的主语。
Written in French, the letter cannot be understood.
Written in French, I cannot understand the letter.
如果过去分词的动作不是句子的主语发出时,前面再加逻辑主语,这种带逻辑主语的过去分词结构叫独立主格结构。
e.g. Written in French, I cannot understand the letter.
怎么改写才正确?
The letter written in French, I cannot understand it.
过去分词作状语:
用作状语的过去分词通常来自及物动词。过去分词用作状语时,修饰主句的谓语动词,意义上相当于状语从句,表示时间、条件、原因、伴随状况等。过去分词作状语,前边往往可以加when, while, as if, as though。一般说来,这种结构的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语一致。例如:
Whenever praised, she blushes.(作时间状语)
= Whenever she is praised, she blushes.
United, we stand; divided, we fall.(作条件状语)
= If we are united, we stand; if we are divided, we fall.
Written in great haste, this book is full of errors.(作原因状语)
= Because this book is written in great haste, it is full of errors.
Mary was reading a love story, completely lost to the romantic life.(作伴随状语)
= Mary was reading a love story, and she was completely lost to the romantic life.
Although born in Germany, John lives and works in U.S.A.(作让步状语)
= Although John was born in Germany, he lives and works in U.S.A.
Task 2 Make clear to the Ss the usage of the past participle as the attribute.
T: Now please look at these two sentences:
1. I followed him to collect a hovering carriage driven by computer.
= I followed him to collect a hovering carriage that / which was driven by computer.
2. Tomorrow you will be ready for some visits organized by the company.
= Tomorrow you will be ready for some visits that / which was organized by the company.
过去分词作定语:
a. 用作前置定语的过去分词通常来自及物动词,带有被动意义和完成意义。例如:
We like skating in the frozen lake in the winter.
= We like skating in the lake which has been frozen in the winter.
How many finished products have you got up to now?
= How many products that have been finished have you got up to now?
来自不及物动词的过去分词很少能单独用作前置定语,能作这样用的仅限以下几个词,这时仅表示完成意义,不表示被动意义:
a retired worker = a worker who has retired
an escaped prisoner = a prisoner who has escaped
a faded / withered flower = a flower that has faded / withered
fallen leaves = leaves that have fallen
the risen sun = the sun that has just risen
a returned student = a student who has returned
vanished treasure = treasure that has vanished
b. 用作后置定语的过去分词通常也来自及物动词,表示被动意义和完成意义。这明相当于一个定语从句。例如:
Things seen are better than things heard.
= Things that / which are seen are better than things that / which are heard.
The lobster broiled over charcoal was delicious.
= The lobster that / which was broiled over charcoal was delicious.

Deal with the passage on page 58.
T: OK. From what you said, I know all of you are looking forward to living under the sea. Now a company just provides the very service! Please turn to page 58 and read the passage RISING TO A CHALLENGE. Let’s see what the life will be like in this undersea city. When you finish reading, complete the sentences on the screen.
Give the Ss 3 minutes to go through the whole passage.
1. The undersea city is so comfortable that it is described as ___________ .
2. The undersea city has the following advantages:
a. _____________
b. _____________
c. _____________
d. _____________
T: Can you find out some suitable sentences or words to fill in the blanks? What’re the advantages of living under the sea?
S: The undersea city is so comfortable that it is described as “a silk adventure”.
S: The undersea city has the following advantages: a. easy contact with the land surface; b. more personal space; c. complete personal security; d. no housework worries.
T: That’s great. You all have got the general idea of the passage. Now let’s look into some detailed aspects of the undersea city. First let’s look at its contact with the land surface. Who would like to tell me at the very beginning, what kind of problem were they facing? And how was the problem solved?
S: The sea bottom is so deep that it’s hard to contact with the land surface. But later they invented the one-person or family shuttle-submarines which will always be ready to take people to the surface.
T: So in that case people who live under the sea can easily contact with the land surface. Then com-paring with living on land, what advantage do you think can attract people to live under the sea?
S: We can get twice as much personal space as in flats on land.
T: Good! Then what kind of special equipment will be provided so as to realize all the advantages? Please read the text again and finish the following chart. You can work with your partners.

The Fifth Period Speaking
Step I Talking
Set a scene for the Ss: A man who is living in AD 2046 comes to visit your city and wants to know something about jobs in your city. Ask the Ss to work in pairs to make out an introduction plan. Make a comparison between jobs at present and jobs in the future, and find out the changes and why these changes take place.
T: In the first period of our unit, we discussed the changes between life in the past and life at present, also we make a prediction about our future, right? Today let’s still talk about the future. Suppose a man of AD 2046 comes to our city, he wants to know something about jobs in our city. How will you introduce the following two kinds of jobs to him? Teachers and farmers.
Give the Ss 1-2 minutes to discuss and then ask some of them to represent their opinions.
T: OK. Who would like to talk about the job as a farmer?
S: Nowadays farmers are still working very hard. Few of them use hi-tech machines, especially in developing countries. They have to work most by hand everyday. Sometimes they will use some machines such as trucks, seeding-machines, etc. In developed countries, agriculture has been computerized. Farmers in those countries are much easier.
T: Good. What about teachers?
S: Nowadays lots of students stay in the classrooms to listen to their teachers. And the teachers have to use chalk, and sometimes they use computers.
Set another scene.
T: So it seems that both these two kinds of jobs are very challenging. Will they change in the future? Now the man invites you to his city in the year 2046, what changes will you expect to find on these two jobs?
S: I think 40 years later, working as a farmer will be much easier than now. Farmers won’t have to work by hand, they can set a program in the computer and then the computer will finish all the tasks. It’s fantastic! And the harvest will be much better because of the science.
S: I think in the future we don’t have to come to school to study. Teachers will work on the Internet. We will have classes through the Internet. And unlike today’s teacher, in the future, a teacher can teach many subjects. And we will have robots do teaching jobs.
T: So maybe I should be born 40 years later, in that case, the job for me will be much interesting.
