Unit2 Travelling Around Vocabulary, Reading&hinking导学案-2025-2026学年高中英语人教版必修第一册

Travel, in the younger sort, is part of education; in the elder, a part of experience. --Francis Bacon UNIT 2 TRAVELLING AROUND Vocabulary & Reading Learning Objective 1. Get familiar with the words and expressions in this unit; 2. Do some reading related to the theme of this unit; 3. Learn the Reading and Thinking Part; 4. Learn to write a travel plan and collect some information about Francis Bacon. I. Topic Reading Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveller Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before. And how great must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and Western Asia! His brain must have been packed with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road. Some people have travelled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That's why the best travel is when it's for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, he's probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights. But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view. Although travel is often just for recreation, it's also educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are. We're learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn't necessarily the best way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.” Ⅱ.

Reading & Thinking Reading PERU is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest. In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The Inca emperor lived in the now-famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the 16th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru. TRAVEL PERU Amazon Rainforest Tour A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From there, you'll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest. Machu Picchu Tour This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas' dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones. Cusco Tour Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes at Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th century. Stay in a local hotel, visit the museums, admire the architecture, enjoy the excellent local food, and go shopping at the local markets. Lake Titicaca Tour Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you spend a day driving along the new highway connecting Cusco to Lake Titicaca. There, a boat will take you to stay with a local Uros family on an island for three days. Both the island and the Uros homes are made of water plants from the lake. So come and experience what Peru has to offer: everything from the ancient Inca culture and centuries-old Spanish villages to deep rainforests, high mountains, and a beautiful coastline.

Francis Bacon was a famous English philosopher(哲学家), statesman, scientist and writer, born on January 22, 1561, in London. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, at the age of 12. Later, he held important political positions such as Lord Chancellor of England. Bacon is best known as the father of empiricism(经验主义). He emphasized the importance of observation, experimentation and inductive(归纳的) reasoning in scientific research, which greatly influenced the development of modern science. Some famous sayings from him. Knowledge is power. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
