③Can you give me some reasons?

④Do you want a happy and beautiful future?

⑤What do you want the life to be?

Step Ⅲ．Listening on P42

Pre-listening:

1. Some questions:

①How do you go to school?

②What subjects do you have? What are they about?

③what are your hobbies? / How do you spend your spare time?

④What do you eat? …

2. Imagine where people will live in the future. State your reasons.

Ss: Maybe people live on another planet, because there are too many people on the earth. People will live in space because the earth has been polluted, and there is no room for people…

While- listening:

T: Now you will have a letter from a girl living in the future, she describes her life and explains why she lives where she does. Let’s compare our life with hers.

1．Listen for the first time, answer questions in Part 1.

① What year is Mekanika living in? .

② Where does she live?

③ What happened to the people on the earth?

④ Why is she writing you this letter?

Suggested answers:

①3044 ( or 58AL) ②Mekanika lives on Mars

③They had to leave because the population was growing too large and there was too much pollution.

④She is writing the letter because her science teacher asked her to send a letter to the past.

2．Listen for the second time, do Part 2. Exercise1.

Mekanika Our life

Time One day is divided into eight parts. Two o’clock in the morning on Mars is like six o’clock on earth. One day is 24 hours

Food People eat pills and drink juice We eat meat, fruits and vegetables.

School There are no schools or classrooms. Students meet

their learning guides in different places and solve

problems together. We study in schools and

classrooms and we learn from books and teachers.

Transportation Mekanika flies to class in the school spaceship We go to school by bike or bus.

Post-listening:

Question: What does Mekanika wants to know?

Step Ⅳ．Listening (WB)

Do the listening practice in the workbook step by step. If the material is too difficult, teachers can give students some difficult sentences first or even give the listening material to students after they listen to the tape twice.

While-listening:

T: Now we’re going to listen to a news broadcast for the year 2035.

1．Listen for the first time, do exercise 1. Tick the subjects mentioned in the news stories.

2．Listen for the second time, do exercise 2. Answer the questions.

StepⅤ.Speaking

Pre-speaking: talk about human clones.

T: Have the scientists discovered how to make doubles?

What would happen if there were human clones?

While-speaking: What are your opinions of making doubles?

Cloning: Having “doubles” or not

Suggested ideas:

1: I think it would be great to have a double because I could use the double to do the things I don’t enjoy, for example, going to school, doing homework and taking exams. Having a double would also be good because I can do two things at a time， so that I can work more efficiently.

2: But we think having a double might be dangerous because we don’t know what the double might do. For example, the double might cheat people out of their money. As a result I will have to be punished because of him.

3: No, I don’t think so. I would like to have a double, because I don’t have time to do all the things I’d like to do, for example, cooking meals and having meetings. Having a double would be wonderful because we could have more time to do things I like best.

4: However, having doubles would make people confused, because no one would know who the double really was or how to treat it. For example, the double wouldn’t have any parents and relatives. It would be bad for society if people had troubles, because it would be very difficult to make it clear who was to blame for the very trouble.

Useful expressions:

It would be wonderful if … Just imagine if …

It’s possible / impossible to predict …

It would be bad for … if … We can only guess.

No one can predict what / when …

Post-speaking: Have a free discussion (as homework)

What would happen if there were two Hitlers ?

Language points

StepⅥ.Planning my future

Free discussion

This step is to stimulate the students’curiosity about the future and ambition to struggle for their own lifelong destination.

T: Can you predict your own future? Here all of you have the chance to express your aims or dreams.

S: I’d like to be an inventor. I’ll invent a new spaceship which travels in space very easily and cheaply. So we can make a trip to the moon or the Mars.

S: I’d like to become an architect. I’ll try to design the most beautiful buildings in the world so that everyone who travels in Beijing wants to pay it a visit.

Dear Mekanika,

Thanks for your letter. How I envy you for your wonderful life! Here I’d like to tell you something about our life. In order not to pollute the air, we have many energy-saving maglev trains, which are controlled by the computer system and travel fast. So traveling becomes easier.

Green vegetables have become the major trend.

The schools are a bit different from yours. Here we can not only communicate with our teachers face to face but also keep in touch with faraway teachers or experts. As a result we can have more time to do whatever we like.

In a word, our life is also very wonderful.

Yours,

Lin Xiaohai

Step Ⅱ．Homework:

Finish the exercises on P61-63 (優(yōu)化集訓(xùn))

Period 8 Grammar

Teaching Aims:

1. Learn and master the Noun clause used as the Subject .Object and Predicative

2．Do some exercises to consolidate the Noun Clause

Teaching Important Points:

How to master the usages of the Noun Claus used as the Subject ,Object and Predicative.

Teaching Difficult Points:

1. The choice of the connective.

2. The word order in the Noun Clauses used as the Subject and Predictive .

Teaching Methods:

2. Explanation and inductive methods to make the students master the usages of the Noun Clauses used as the subject, object and Predicative.

3. Individual or pair work to make every student work in class.

Teaching Aids:

1. a projector 2. the blackboard

Teaching Procedures:

Step Ⅰ．Revision

Step Ⅱ．Grammar: Noun Clauses used as Subject, Object and Predicative.

Instructions: [后附名詞從句 (Noun Clauses）講義)

1．In the Object clause “that” is optional and can be omitted. But in the Predicative and Subject Clauses “that” is necessary and cannot be omitted.

2．You should pay attention to the word order in the Noun Clause. Normal word order is used in it.

3．In order to keep the sentence balanced. We often use “it” as the formal subject, which replaces the real subject.

4．The subordinate conjunction “whether” can introduce all the Noun Clauses, while the subordinate conjunction “if” can only introduce an object clause used as the object of a verb.

Exercise:

Exercise 1．Find out the function of the Noun Clause in each sentence.

Exercise 2．Look at the questions about the future in the box on the left. Then use the expressions in the box on the right to change your questions into Noun Clause.

Example: How we should use modern technology is an important question.

Activity: complete the sentences using Noun Clauses.

Suggested answers:

1. We cannot be sure when we’ll be able to travel in space.

2. The problem is how we should use modern technology.

6. We cannot be sure whether the future will be better.

Exercise 3．Identify the type of clause in each of the sentences.

Instruction: The difference between a Noun Clause and an Attributive Clause. A Noun Clause is used as a Subject, Object, Predicative or Appositive in the main clause. An Attributive Clause serves as an attribute to some nouns or pronouns in the main clause, and it is often placed after this noun or pronoun. The Attributive clause is introduced by the relative pronouns and the relative adverbs.

Step Ⅲ．Homework

Finish the exercise 4．Rewrite the following sentences so that they contain a Noun Clause of the type in brackets.

《名詞性從句》講義

一、定義：在復(fù)合句中相當(dāng)于一個名詞，做主語、賓語、表語、同位語的從句。

二、引導(dǎo)詞：

1. 連詞: that , if, whether, as if

2. 連接代詞: who , what, which, whose, whom以及wh+ever

3. 連接副詞: when, where, why, because, how

三、引導(dǎo)詞的作用：

1. 連詞只有連接的功能，而不在從句中充當(dāng)句子成分。

2. 連接代詞和連接副詞不但有連接的功能，同時還要在從句中充當(dāng)特定的句子

成分，主語、賓語、表語、定語、狀語。

主語從句

基本概念

1．定義：在復(fù)合句中作主語的從句叫做主語從句。

2．構(gòu)成：關(guān)聯(lián)詞+簡單句

3．引導(dǎo)主語從句的關(guān)聯(lián)詞有三類：

連詞that、whether;

連接代詞who, what, which;

連接副詞when, where, how, why

⑴ 連詞that（無詞意）, whether(是否), 在從句中不充當(dāng)句子成分，只起連接作用; whether能引導(dǎo)主語從句，而if不能。

That you don’t like him has nothing to do with me.

Whether John will do this experiment remains a question.

⑵ 連接代詞who, what, which, 在從句中既作連接詞又充當(dāng)主語、賓語、表語、定語等。

Who will be sent abroad to further his studies is not announced.

What surprised me most was that such a little girl could play the violin so well.

Which school will win the prize is not known.

How he managed to finish the composition in such a short time is still a mystery.

Why he often comes here is known to us all.

難點(diǎn)

1．主語從句能用it作形式主語，而把真正的主語放在后面。常以it作形式主語的句型有：

A. It+be+形容詞(well-known, obvious, true, natural, surprising, good, wonderful, funny, possible, likely, certain, probable, etc.)+that從句。如：

It is certain that she will do well in her exam.

It is probable that he told her everything.

B. It+be+名詞詞組(no wonder, an honour, a good thing, a pity, no surprise, common knowledge, a surprise, a fact, etc.)+that從句。如：

D. It appears / seems that…… （似乎……）

E. It+doesn’t matter (makes no difference, makes sense etc.)+ 連接代詞或連接副詞引起的主語從句。如：

It doesn’t matter whether she will come or not.

It makes no difference where we shall have the meeting.

F. 當(dāng)that引導(dǎo)的主語從句出現(xiàn)在疑問句中時，要以it作形式主語，而把主語從句后置。如：

Is it true that the scientist will give us a lecture next week?

Does it matter much that they will not come tomorrow?

G. 當(dāng)主語從句出現(xiàn)在感嘆句中時，要以it作形式主語，而把主語從句后置。如：

How strange it is that the children are so quiet!

2．注意連接代詞whoever, whatever, whichever等引導(dǎo)主語從句的含義

Whoever comes will be welcome. (whoever=the person who)

來的人將受到歡迎。

Whatever he did was right. (whatever=the thing that)

他所做的事情是正確的。

Whichever of you comes in will receive a prize. (whichever=anyone of you who) 你們當(dāng)中不論哪個進(jìn)來將會得到獎勵。

The trouble is that I have lost his address.

(2) 連詞whether, as, as if。如：

He looked just as he had looked ten years before.

The question is whether they will be able to help us.

注：從屬連詞if一般不用來引導(dǎo)表語從句，但as if卻可引導(dǎo)表語從句，如：

All this was over twenty years ago, but it’s as if it was only yesterday.

這都是20多年前的事了，但宛如昨天一樣。

能跟表語從句的謂語動詞一般為系動詞be, seem, look等。如：

It looked as if it was going to rain. 看起來天要下雨了。

(3) 連接代詞who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever, whichever

連接副詞 where, when, how, why。

如：The problem is who we can get to replace her.

The question is how he did it. 問題是他是如何做此事的。

That was what she did this morning on reaching the attic.

難點(diǎn)

1．連詞because可引導(dǎo)表語從句。如：

I think it is because you are doing too much.

2．引導(dǎo)表語從句的that不省略，that僅起連接作用，在從句中不充當(dāng)任何成分，無任何意義

The impression he makes on me is that he is a reliable person.

他給我的印象是他是一個可靠的人。

3． the reason后面的表語從句只能用that引導(dǎo)，我們學(xué)生易犯“the reason is because…”的錯誤

The reason why the little actress has been such a success is that she is both clever andhard-working.

4．在表示命令order等，建議suggestion, advice等的名詞后的表語從句中，謂語動詞要用虛擬語氣：should+動詞原形，should可省略

His suggestion is that we (should) hold another meeting to discuss the problem.

5． whether可引導(dǎo)表語從句，表“是否”，它在從句中不充當(dāng)成分，if不能引導(dǎo)表語從句。

賓語從句

(1) 連詞that。如：

He told us that he felt ill. 他對我們說他感到不舒服。

I know he has returned. 我知道他已經(jīng)回來了。

注：that在引導(dǎo)賓語從句時也并非任何情況下都可以省略。在以下情況下，that不能省略。

① Everybody could see what happened and that Tom was frightened.(and連接兩個賓語從句，that賓語從句放在and的后面時，that不能省略。)

② I know nothing about him except that he is from the south.(that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句作介詞賓語時，that不能省略。)

③ That he ever said such a thing I simply don’t believe. (that從句位于句首時，that不可省略。)

④ We decided, in view of his special circumstances, that we would admit him for a probationary period. (主句謂語動詞與that從句之間有插入語，that不可省略。) 鑒于他的特殊情況，我們決定應(yīng)允他一段試用期。

(2) 連詞if/whether。如：I doubt whether he will succeed. 我懷疑他是否會成功。

I don’t know if you can help me. 我不知道你能否幫助我。

I wonder what he’s writing to me about.

I’ll tell you why I asked you to come. 我會告訴你我為什么要你來。

You may do what you will. 你可做任何你想做的事。

I am curious as to what he will say. 我很想知道他要說什么。

2. Improve the students’ writing ability.

Teaching Difficult Points:

How to improve the students’ writing ability.

Teaching Methods:

Individual, pair or group work to make every student work in class.

Teaching Aids:

1. a multimedia 2. the blackboard

Teaching Procedures:

Step Ⅰ．Revision: Deal with the homework. Finish the grammar exercise 4．

StepⅡ．Writing:

Task1: write about an object

T: We have known what the life will be in the year 3044. Imagine that you have come back from a trip to the future. You visited the year 4367 and you saw a wonderful invention called a Mogray.

Now work with your partner and decide what a Mogray is, what it looks like and what it is used for. Before writing, you have to complete the outline on the screen.

What does a Mogray look like? How does it work? What can it be used for?

Instruction: A description of an object should include a physical description (what the object looks like, how big it is etc.) as well as a “practical / functional” description (what it can be used for / how you use it).

One possible version:

What Is A Mogray?

A Mogray is really a wonderful invention in education in the 21st century.

In fact, a Mogray is a computer-based teaching system equipped in our classroom. It consists of three parts：a memory, a large screen almost as large as a blackboard，and 30-60 small screens and voice boxes. With a Mogray system we can make both teaching and learning electronically and efficiently.

This Mogray system works very conveniently and personally. We students do not need to take our textbooks. Instead we use e-books. In class, we enter our own secret code and find the subject. Then we can download information from the memory and begin the new lesson. When we do our exercises or take exams, we also download them. When we finish our work, we should upload them so that the teacher can quickly mark them. If we have homework, we can send it through the Internet or copy it into a hard disc.

In a word, a Mogray helps us to learn more easily and faster. We like it.
