Unit 3 Fascinating Parks Reading and Thinking 课件-2025-2026学年高中英语人教版选择性必修第一册

该高中英语课件围绕“迷人的公园”主题，从词汇理解（如“fascinating”“sanctuary”的含义）入手，通过讨论公园种类、本地公园案例（如黔江的溪流边公园等）及公园功能，逐步引入具体实例（如美国大棱镜温泉），最后结合名言深化对国家公园保护意义的认知，构建从基础词汇到文化理解的学习支架。 其亮点在于融合语言能力、文化意识与思维品质的培养，例如通过语境学习词汇（如结合黄石公园案例理解“sanctuary”的保护内涵），对比本地与国外公园体现跨文化认知，设计“是否开发自然景观”的讨论培养批判性思维。采用任务型教学（小组讨论、阅读匹配练习）和填空巩固活动，学生能提升语言运用与文化理解能力，教师可借助结构化活动提升课堂互动效率。

Step 2.Look and discuss 2. Would you like to go there ?Why ? Yes ,I would like to go there ,because the scenery is very amazing. 3. Should a place like this be developed ? If so ,how? I don’t think so .I think we should protect such places and preserve their natural state. The photo is of the Grand Prismatic Spring(大棱镜温泉) in Yellowstone National Park , in the US. The Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world . The spring is about 100metres in diameter (直径)and around 50 meters deep ,and has a temperature of around 70°C. The spring was given the name because the colors are like that of light being passed through a prism（棱镜）.However ,the colors actually have to do with microbes along the edges of the spring .The microbes have different colors depending upon the temperature of the water or ground. The water in the center of the spring is much too hot for any microbiotic life ,so its color is the natural color of the water. There is a wooden walkway which visitors can use to see the spring 。 A national park is not a playground. It’s a sanctuary for nature and for humans who will accept nature on nature’s own terms. —Michael Frome Step 3.How do we understand the quote ? What does “playground” mean ? “Playground” means a place you can play / go for recreation freely. What does “a sanctuary” mean ? “A sanctuary”means a place where something or someone is protected and can find refuge（shelter/cover）, and a place that is holy and sacred, and which should not be defiled(玷污；亵渎) “Accept nature on nature’s own terms”means that you do not try to change it or make it adapt to your wishes or needs , but that you adapt yourself to it instead. What does “accept nature on nature’s own terms ” mean ? The quote means a national park is not a place for recreation(entertainment/amusement/relaxation/pastime/escape消遣) ,but is a place where nature is supposed to be protected. Further, the quote imply that the only people who should go to a national park are those looking for a place of refuge , and who will not do anything which harms or changes the park in any way from its natural state.
