《金色教案》教学设计说明
About the topic and the structures单元话题和结构 本单元以节日为话题，介绍了世界各地的一些节日的含义、由来和民俗。通过本单元的学习，可以帮助学生更多地了解节日、体味文化；同时又可以引导学生理解、尊重不同的文化和习俗。本单元语言功能项目是：打电话、邀请和致谢。本单元语言结构项目是“情态动词”。本单元还要求学生学习写作“记叙文：故事”。《金色教案》教学设计在单元课时划分上与课本保持一致，即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中，建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排的因素，对课本、对《金色教案》教学设计重新划分课时，裁剪、拼接使用提供的材料，以便“物尽所用”，达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以参照《金色教案》提供的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。
Period 1Reading 阅读课 Warming Up 教师选择使用提供的“讨论”、“看听”或者“词汇学习”，进行热身，激发学生的阅读兴趣，导入本课，为Reading部分的阅读做好铺垫。Pre-reading既可以让学生“想象和分享”，也可以让他们“交谈和分享”。Reading通过Listening to the recording，Reading and underlining。 Reading and transferring information，Retelling the text，Reading and filling，Answering comprehension questions，Reading and understanding difficult sentences和Closing down by doing exercises活动，引导学生从形式到内容掌握课文，了解亡灵节、名人节、丰收节和春节，弄清楚节日的由来及其存在的意义。亡灵节是为祭奠亡灵，取悦祖先而举行的节日，例如日本的盂兰盆节（Obon），墨西哥的亡灵节，万圣节（Halloween）等。名人节有中国的端午节，美国的哥伦布日，印度的甘地纪念日。春天的节日包括中国的春节，西方的狂欢节、复活节，日本的樱花节等。
Period 2Learning about language 知识课 Learning about language 主要突出本单元的重点词汇和主要语法项目。通过Warming up，Learning about grammar （Reading and finding和Doing exercises No. 1, 2 and 3 on page 5），Closing down by doing a quiz等活动，帮助学生熟练掌握情态动词may/ might，can/could，will/would，shall/should，must/can的各种语用功能。
Period 3Using language运用课 Using language涵盖了听、说、读、写四个部分。首先是 Warming up by talking about “carnival” ，然后是 Listening， Speaking。阅读活动要求学生Reading and underlining。读后还要求学生进行Speaking 和Acting活动。写作为Guided writing。之后Further applying（Finding information，Writing letters）。最后以filling a form或者describing the stars of Vega and Altair结课。
实际教学过程课时划分建议
Period 1 将Warming Up、 Pre-reading、Reading和Comprehending整合在一起上一节“阅读课”。
Period 2 将Learning about language 和Workbook中的 USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS、USING STRUCTURES 整合在一起上一节“语言知识课”。
Period 3 将Using language 设计为一节包括听说读写单项技能或组合技能训练的“综合技能课（一）”。
Period 4 将Workbook 的READING AND LISTENING和TALKING整合在一起上一节“听说课”。
Period 5 将Workbook 的LISTENING TASK、READING AND WRITING TASK和 SPEAKING TASK整合为一节“综合技能课（二）”。

Unit 1 Reading
FESTIVALS
AND CELEBRATIONS
汉语是我们的母语，我们从学英语开始，就是用汉语来解释和记忆英语的。变“用汉语解释和记忆英语”为“用英语解释和记忆英语”。避免了将英语转换为另一种语言——汉语所带来的不便和时间耗费。不但提高了效率，而且久而久之，有可能在头脑中建立起两种思维系统，即在在汉语思维之外，还可以逐步建立起独立的英语思维系统。
用英语解释和记忆英语，本身就是在学习和运用英语，对提高英语语感和英语的阅读理解能力和综合运用能力很有好处。是一举多得的好方法。真正做到了用英语品味英语，越品越有味；用英语理解英语，理解更准确。鉴于本环节初次尝试此种设置，可能有些学生对英语解释不能完全理解，为降低难度，英文解释后面可进一步演示中文解释，学生可再通过中文解释回顾早读课中已预习过的单词，进一步加深记忆。

Reading Tips
在阅读时，要注意综合运用略读(skimming)与扫读(scanning)这两种方法。
略读(skimming)只看文章标题、下标题以及每个部分或者段落第一行，关注文章中反复出现的关键词。
略读时，要用充足的时间读懂段落的第一句和第二句，因为第一句往往是该段的主题句(topic sentence)，而第二句往往是对前句的延伸(extension)或进一步的解释(explanation)。
通过略读把握文章大意
运用扫读(scanning)迅速浏览从第三句开始的后面部分,搜寻作者对开头两句的支持句(supporting sentences),并同时注意文章中间是否有转折词(transition),因为这些词常常会把文章的思路逆转或加入其它重要的信息。当读到段落的最后一句时,我们又要使用略读,这时必须再次放慢速度(slow down your pace)直到完全消化作者对段落的小结(conclusion),因为该小结有可能与主题句截然相反或引导读者进入下一个段落。
通过扫读寻找特定信息或特定词组
a general

三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
For millions of U.S. students, a hot meal has been part of the school day since Congress passed the National School Lunch Program in 1946. But with many items on today’s menus filled with fat and calories, educators are taking a cue from (效法) the local-food movement to put school lunches on a healthier path.
The National School Lunch Program, intended to prevent the return of the depression era of child malnourishment (营养不良), allowed the government to buy surplus food from farmers and set minimum nutritional values for each meal. Its budget grew under Eisenhower and Nixon, but the Reagan Administration cut it by nearly $1.5 billion — making up for the cuts by revising nutritional guidelines, reducing portion sizes and (infamously) attempting to categorize ketchup as a vegetable.
The 1980s and '90s saw school districts contract with private companies to stock brand-name soft drinks and snacks in exchange for a cut of the profits. While the partnerships boosted school revenue (收入), they also exacerbated (加剧)soaring childhood-obesity rates.
In an effort to promote healthier diets, some 9,000 schools have joined a national farm-to-school program that provides locally grown food for school cafeterias. The Department of Agriculture is expected to expand school nutrition standards this year, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 63% of schools have stopped selling sugary soft drinks. Yet despite these efforts, most students still pile unhealthy foods onto their lunch trays. Currently, 80% of schools serve lunches with more than the recommended amount of saturated fat; 43% don’t offer daily fresh fruits and vegetables. No matter how you measure it, there’s very little nutrition in a Tater Tot.
36. According to the passage, what problem does the school lunch have now
A. It is too expensive and most students can’t afford it.
B. It is unhealthy and contains too much fat.
C. It can’t bring any revenue to schools.
D. The government has not enough money to put into it.
37. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. a national farm-to-school program
B. the National School Lunch Program
C. the brief history about school lunches
D. most US students’ taste
38. What is the purpose of the National School Lunch Program
A. To prevent the children from malnourishment.
B. In exchange for a cut of the profits.
C. To prevent the children from being obese.
D. To boost school revenue.
39. According to the last paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The national farm-to-school program is helpful for the students to keep healthy.
B. 63% of schools don’t offer daily fresh fruits and vegetables.
C. 43% of schools have stopped selling sugary soft drinks.
D. Most students have realized the problem and eat less unhealthy foods than before.

Customer Review
By Niel T. Johnson
Affordable, great sound. I love added memory via the microSD Slot. If you want an iPod, just spend 6 times as much and you’ll have one.
By Christopher Forte
Overall, for the money, this is a great buy.
The music functionality is everything that I would like — intuitive and easy to navigate. The only issue is that scrolling (滚动) occasionally pauses for a second or two. Having FM and voice recording is a big plus, as is the easy drag-and-drop way of getting my MP3’s on the device. The sound quality is quite good, especially through a proper sound system or a quality headset.
By Vito Paine
Good sound quality. Great price. I don’t actually use the video on this device so I don’t know how well that feature works, but I do store MP3’s and photos there. One thing: I wish I had also gotten a screen protector laminate (薄膜). My screen got scratched up recently.
40. Which of the following can NOT be done by the Sansa Fuze
A. Listening to music. B. Watching videos.
C. Playing games. D. Surfing the Internet.
41. According to Christopher Forte, he is unsatisfied with ______.
A. FM and voice recording B. its sound quality
C. the time it takes when scrolling D. its price
42. Which of the following can be learned from Vito Paine
A. He thinks well of the video’s feature on this device.
B. Now the Sansa Fuze he bought can’t work well.
C. The Sansa Fuze’s screen has no protector laminate on it.
D. He likes the FM and voice recording feature very much.
43. The text may be taken from the ______ column in a newspaper.
A. advertisement B. technology
C. news D. sports

Before fridges, homes usually had ice boxes. But another way to keep food cool without electricity is to use an evaporative (蒸气) cooler. It is easy to make and does not even use ice.
A common design is a tall box with several shelves inside. The shelves are pieces of metal with many small holes through them. The sides of the box are covered with pieces of thick cloth. Containers of water are placed at the top and bottom of the cooler. The ends of each piece of cloth lie in the water so the cloth stays wet.
Put the cooler in the open air but not in the sun. Air will pass through while the inside of the box will stay several degrees cooler than the outside. This can keep foods fresh for a short time.
The best way to prepare foods for storage (储存) is at harvest time. Place the harvested items on a clean surface, but not on the ground. Fruits and vegetables must be cool from field heat before they are stored. A good idea is to harvest foods either early or late in the day, then leave them to cool naturally. Do not remove outer leaves from fruits and vegetables before storage.
Some fruits and vegetables must be stored at zero to four degrees Celsius. Any colder, and they might be damaged. Others need four to eight degrees, and still others above eight degrees. Cover the items in plastic once they reach the right “critical temperature” for storage.
44. What is an evaporative cooler
A. An ice box used to contain things.
B. An electrical container to hold things.
C. A small box made of cloth to contain food.
D. A tall box used to cool food without ice or electricity.
45. The second paragraph is mainly about ____.
A. the several uses of an evaporative cooler
B. the working principle of an evaporative cooler
C. the way an evaporative cooler is made
D. ways on how to use an evaporative cooler
46. Which of the following is NOT a step in storing foods according to the passage
A. Put the harvested items on a clean surface.
B. Remove outer leaves from vegetables and fruits.
C. Harvest foods either early or late in the day.
D. Cool fruits and vegetables before storage.
47. The underlined “critical temperature” in the last paragraph refers to a temperature of____.
A. zero to four degrees B. four to eight degrees
C. at least eight degrees D. the suitable degrees
D
Have you ever taken a test that you thought you could have passed easily, only to make some silly mistakes that really hurt your grade More than a few students have done that. And some seem to do it over and over again.
There are several problem areas that can cause students to goof up or do poorly in a test that they could have passed.
Some students can become overconfident in their knowledge of the subject matter. They think they know the material better than they actually do. It is easy for students to misjudge their own knowledge, and when they realize that they don’t know the material, it is too late.
What happens more often, though, is that some students feel they are smart enough to be able to guess their way through a test. So they don’t bother studying the material. They are overconfident in their ability to figure things out.
In either case, overconfidence can result in lower grades in tests. Does this apply to you
Another thing that can happen is that students underestimate (低估) the difficulty of the test. They expect an easy test, but the teacher throws in a real tough test that they haven’t prepared for. Sometimes the teacher may cover material in the test that students weren’t expecting. That can happen, especially if you weren’t paying attention in class.
Finally, there are students who don’t feel that getting a good grade is important to them, so they don’t bother to study or even try to do well. Such students may be trying to punish their parents, have a poor image of themselves, or are just plain foolish. Hopefully, you are not one of these students.
48. The writer believes that many students ______.
A. are afraid of exams
B. make careless mistakes
C. hate homework D. lack confidence
49. What does the underlined phrase “goof up” mean
A. Be overconfident. B. Be nervous.
C. Make silly mistakes.
D. Make wrong choices.
50. According to the writer, who will be most unwilling to try his best in a test
A. Edward, dissatisfied with his parents.
B. John, expecting an easy test for him.
C. Dobby, believing he is the smartest in the class.
D. Peter, being overconfident about his ability.
51. What would be discussed in the paragraph that follows
A. The causes of overconfidence.
B. The causes of a poor self-image.
C. Ways to prepare for a test.
D. Ways to avoid goofing up a test.

Harvey Ball, an artist, was the man that created the smiley face — the most recognized symbol of good will and cheer on the planet, in 1963. Strangely it was the over popularity of the smiley face that caused Harvey Ball to become concerned that the meaning of the smiley face was being used wrongly. Ball decided to offer one day each year to admire smiles and acts of kindness creating World Smile Day.
Harvey Ball chose the first Friday in October to celebrate World Smile Day. The first World Smile Day was held in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1999. Worcester was Harvey Ball’s hometown. World Smile Day’s slogan (口号), “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile!” is one of the best sayings anyone could choose to live by. The twelfth yearly World Smile Day was held on October 1, 2010.
In 2001, when Harvey Ball passed away, the World Smile Foundation (基金) was created. The Foundation was created to honor the name and memory of Harvey Ball. Each year on the first Friday of October the Foundation still hosts World Smile Day celebrations in Worcester, Massachusetts. The World Smile Foundation’s slogan is “Improving this world, one smile at a time”, which truly expresses Harvey Ball’s idea when he created World Smile Day.
This has to be one of the easiest holidays to celebrate and anyone can join in. Some individuals chose to organize celebrations, hand out smiley face signs while others chose to celebrate World Smile Day by simply smiling. Harvey Ball influenced many people with his World Smile Day. The Worcester Historical Museum created the Harvey Ball Smile Award. The award recognizes an individual, a group, or an organization that has done something rather fantastic for the city of Worcester.
52. When the smiley face created by Harvey Ball became better known, he ______.
A. felt proud B. felt surprised
C. got disappointed D. became worried
53. Which of the following happened most recently
A. World Smile Day was first celebrated.
B. World Smile Foundation was set up.
C. The smiley face became popular.
D. Harvey Ball decided to create a holiday.
54. The Harvey Ball Smile Award would most probably be given to ______.
A. Rosa, celebrating World Smile Day each year
B. Kate, a researcher from the Worcester Historical Museum
C. Sun Club, greatly improving communities in Worcester
D. Book Master, the biggest publishing house in Worcester
55. What is the passage mainly about
A. A happy holiday. B. A kind artist.
C. A smiling picture. D. A special award.

One possible version:
Net bars have gained in popularity in recent years, especially among students. While we are all benefiting from their convenience, there are also safety problems. I think that is the reason why students are kept from going to the net bars. But I have some suggestions.
First, net bars should be built in school, so that the students can surf the Internet there. It will bring students great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with others. Second, students should be taught how to use the Internet more effectively. Third, students need to gather information from other resources, such as the library.

LI MEI: Thanks, Carla, but I wanted something to go with this dress. Those are the wrong colour.
CARLA: You must be joking! That dress is too thick. Do you realize that it’ll be thirty-five degrees out there and that you’re going to walking and dancing until midnight
You have to have something light and cool ─ and a hat!

already tired and thirsty!
C: We’re each going to need a lot of water tonight! Shall I run over to the stand there and get something to drink for everybody
H: Hurry up, Carla! The bands are moving!
C: OK, I’ll hurry! But remember… We’re
going to go slowly at first, so Wu Ping
and Li Mei can get used to the music and
the heat!
H: Yeah, OK! Remember, you two, if we
get separated in the crowd, We’ll
meet at the north end of the parking
lot by 8 o’clock. Then we can go
together to see the winners of

情态动词表示说话人的某种
感情或语气，对某一动作
或状态的某种态度。
表示“需要、可以、
必须、应当”等。
什么是情态动词？ (Modal Verbs)
Words like can, will, may, must, and a
few others are called modals. Modal
verbs help other verbs express a meaning
or an idea. Some common uses of the
modals are these:
Ability: 1 He can speak English now.
2 He couldn’t speak English a
year ago.
3 I’m not able to come to the game
on Friday.
Permission: All passengers may now board.
We can board now.
Obligation: You must fasten your seat belts.
(strong)
You should pay attention.
(weak)
You ought to pay attention.
Possibility: 1 It may rain.
2 How could I forget an
important thing like that
3 He can’t/couldn’t have known
the result.
Meanings similar to those of the
modals can often be conveyed by real
verb forms:
He has to……………………….=…must…
is able to…speak English…=…can…
is allowed to……………....=…may…
is supposed to……………=…should…
情态动词的语法特征
1. 情态动词不能单独做谓语，除ought
和have外，后面只能接不带to的不定式。
2. 情态动词没有人称，数的变化，但有
些情态动词，如can, will也有一般式
和过去式的变化。
只作情态动词的
can/could, may/might, ought to, must
可情态可实义的 need, dare/dared
可情态可助动词的 shall/should, will/would
相当于情态动词的 have to, used to
3. 情态动词的“时态”形式并不是时间区别
的主要标志，不少情况下，情态动词的
现在式形式和过去式形式都可用来表示
现在时间、过去时间和将来时间。
下面我们具体了解一下几
个常用情态动词的用法。
1. can的主要用法是：
A. 表示体力或脑力的能力：
eg. The girl can dance very well.
B. 表示说话者的推测﹑事物的可能性:
eg. Can the news be true
C. 在口语中, can可以表示请求或允许：
eg. Can I sit here
can和could
2. could的主要用法是：
A. could是can的过去式, 表示与过去 有关的能力和推测:
eg. We all knew that the young man
couldn’t be a doctor.
B. could可以代替can表示请求, 但语
气较can客气、委婉:
eg. Could you lend me your dictionary
Could I use your bike

Closing down by describing the stars of Vega and Altair
To end this period, I am going to ask you to write a short passage to describe to the class the two stars of Vega and Altair which are related to Qiqiaojie, the Chinese Valentine’s Day.
For reference:The StarsThe star Vega (Weaving Maid) is the 5th brightest star in the sky. Therefore, it's very easy to find in the summer night. The size of Vega is 16 times bigger than the Sun. The temperature on its surface is more than 10,000 degrees. The brightness of Vega is 25 times brighter than the Sun. It's 25 light years away from the Earth.The star Altair (Cowherd) is the 11th brightest star in the sky. Therefore, it's not difficult to find in the summer night. The size of Altair is 4 times bigger than the Sun. The temperature on its surface is about 8,000 degrees. The brightness of Altair is 11 times brighter than the Sun. It's 17 light years away from the Earth.
