What made you curious about ants on the farm during the holiday?” Interviewee: “I saw them carrying food in a line and wondered how they communicate. So I read a book about ants and followed their trail for a while to observe!” Interviewer: “What did you do to learn more about it?” Interviewee: “Besides reading, I also asked my grandpa, who knows a lot about farm animals and insects!” Interviewer: “How did you feel when you found out the answer?” Interviewee: “I felt excited! It’s amazing that ants use chemicals to talk to each other!” 解析： 设计依据：角色设定参考了教材中 B2 部分的 Liu Chao、Han Gang、Li Mei 等人物的假期好奇经历，如 Liu Chao “watch ants and train dogs”，确保场景和内容贴近教材。 难度适配：采访问题句式简单、目标明确， interviewee 可基于教材示例进行拓展回答，既降低了构思难度，又鼓励了创造性表达。 考查目标：提升学生在特定场景下的口语交际能力，包括提问技巧和连贯回答能力，同时加深对教材中人物好奇行为的理解和运用。 二、Group Talk: Curiosity Challenges（小组讨论：好奇心挑战） Task Discuss 2 “curiosity challenges” students might face and how to solve them.

We can even form a study group to discuss our curious questions together.” 解析 设计依据：讨论话题结合了学生实际可能遇到的问题，解决建议参考了教材中 “通过阅读、提问老师等方式探索答案” 的核心观点，如 Bailing “look for answers in books”，以及 Dr Gu 提到的探索方式。 难度适配：话题贴近学生学习生活，讨论方向明确，学生可结合自身经历和教材知识进行表达，难度适中且具有现实意义。 考查目标：培养学生的小组合作与口语表达能力，引导学生思考如何克服好奇心探索过程中的困难，将教材知识应用于实际问题解决中。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 3 Curious minds 课时1 A Viewing and listening & B Speaking（分层作业） 核心知识速记 03拓展培优 01基础达标 04思维进阶 02能力提升 一、核心词汇 inborn /ˌɪnˈbɔːn/adj. 天生的 p.36 preschooler /ˌpriːˈskuːlə(r)/n.（美）学龄前儿童 p.36 continuous /kənˈtɪnjuəs/adj. 不断的；持续的；连续的 p.36 either /ˈaɪðə(r)/adv.（用于否定词组后）也 p.38 eyesight /ˈaɪsaɪt/n. 视力 p.38 fantastic /fænˈtæstɪk/adj. 极好的；了不起的 p.38 surprising /səˈpraɪzɪŋ/adj. 令人吃惊的 p.39 touching /ˈtʌtʃɪŋ/adj. 令人同情的；感人的 p.39 annoying /əˈnɔɪɪŋ/adj. 使恼怒的；使生气的 p.40 brain /breɪn/n. 脑；脑力 p.40 researcher /rɪˈsɜːtʃə(r)/n. 研究者 p.40 rate /reɪt/v. 划分等级；评估 p.40 result /rɪˈzʌlt/n. 结果 p.40 magician /məˈdʒɪʃn/n. 魔术师；变戏法的人 p.40 trick /trɪk/n. 戏法；把戏 p.40 crazy /ˈkreɪzi/adj. 热衷的；狂热的 p.41 therefore /ˈðeəfɔː(r)/adv. 因此 p.41 wonder /ˈwʌndə(r)/v. 想知道；想弄明白；琢磨 p.46 shake /ʃeɪk/v. 摇动；抖动（过去式 shook；过去分词 shaken） p.46 二、核心短语 1.an inborn ability 天赋；天资 p.36 2.be unfamiliar with （某人）对（某事 / 物）不熟悉 p.36 3.be unfamiliar to （某事 / 物）为（某人）所不熟悉 p.36 4.reach for 伸手去拿；努力争取 p.36 5.good for you （用于赞扬对方）真棒；好样的 p.38 6.tons of 大量；许多 p.38 7.all at once 一次性；一下子 p.38 8.lead sb to do sth 导致某人去做某事 p.41 9.be curious about 对…… 感到好奇 p.41 10.come up with 想出；提出 p.43 11.turn out 结果是；证明是 p.43 12.take in 吸收；理解；领会 p.40 13.driven by curiosity 出于好奇 p.46 14.with the help of 在…… 的帮助下；借助…… 的帮助 p.46 15.fall out of 从…… 掉出来；从…… 脱落 p.46 16.in the middle of the night 在半夜；在午夜时分 p.46 三、核心句型 1.She has an inborn ability to learn well. 她有一种天生的学习能力。 p.36 2.Babies are interested in new things and often reach for things that they haven't seen before. 婴儿对新事物很感兴趣，并且经常伸手去拿他们以前没有见过的东西。 p.36 3.I didn't know, either. 我之前也不知道。 p.38 4.The more I read, the more I wanted to find out. 我读得越多，就越想找到答案。 p.38 5.Good for you!
