★Step 4 Language points 【语言要点】
1. From mouse catcher to space tour guide...
从捕鼠人到太空旅行导游……
mouse catcher指“捕鼠人”,曾是一种常见的职业。标题“从捕鼠
人到太空旅行导游……”反映的正是随着科技的发展,一些工作会逐渐被新技术淘汰,而新的职业也会应运而生的现象和趋势。
2. Which jobs will soon be history, and which ones are on the way in? 哪些工作即将成为历史,哪些工作正在兴起?
(1)在这个句子中,ones是一个代词,指代的是jobs。用ones来避免在句子的后半部分重复使用jobs这个词。
(2) on the way in在此处表示“兴起,正在成为趋势”。例如:
Online shopping is on the way in, changing the way people buy products.网上购物正在兴起,改变着人们购买 商品的方式。
Remote work is on the way in, allowing people to work from anywhere with an internet connection.远程工作正在兴起,让人们可以在任何有网络连接的地方工作。
3. Some traditional jobs are disappearing. However, new ones are springing up to meet new needs.一些传统的工作正在消失,而新的工作正在涌现出来,以满足新的需求。
(1) spring up意为“突然出现”。例如:
Fast-food restaurants are springing up all over the town.
快餐店一家家地冒出来,遍布整个小镇。
(2) meet... needs在此处表示“满足……的需求”。例如:
Schools must meet the needs of their pupils.学校必须满
足学生的需求。
4. They may soon be replaced by machines.
他们可能很快就会被机器取代。
be replaced by在此处表示“被……(所)取代,用.…替换”。例如:
The building will be replaced, most probably by a modern sports centre. 这栋大楼将很可能被一座现代化的体育中心所取代。
需注意replace sth with sth也是replace的常见搭配,表示
"用……替代……”,一般用于主动句。例如:
They will replace the traditional mail delivery method with
machines.他们将用机器取代传统的邮件投递方式。
5. Um, sign me up for a space tour, please!
嗯,请为我报名太空旅行!
sign up for意为“报名”
sign sb up for sth在此处表示“为某人报名……”
例如:
I'm thinking of signing up for piano lessons.
我在考虑报名参加钢琴课。
My mum wanted to sign me up for the summer camp.
我妈妈想为我报名参加夏令营。
★Step 5 Homework【家庭作业】
1.Review the words and sentences.
2.Do the exercises in students’ book.
Teaching reflection 【教学反思】
This lesson focused on job changes due to technology. Students understood the passage well, grasping key details about disappearing and emerging jobs. Discussions on comments were active, but some struggled with idioms like "go up in smoke." Time for sharing future job ideas was insufficient. Next, I’ll add targeted idiom explanations and extend group discussion time to deepen understanding of career trends and enhance expressive skills.
