批判性阅读提示
在高中语篇层面,可以说证据"支持并确认"了Snow的判断。更严谨地说,单一观察不能独立证明因果;文本通过聚集、例外、远距离个案和大范围比较建立了相互印证的证据链。

Activity 5 Predict from the Title [5 min]
观察标题 JOHN SNOW DEFEATS "KING CHOLERA",回答问题。
1. Why is "King Cholera" put in quotation marks?
参考答案:It is a figurative nickname. Cholera is personified as a powerful enemy that once controlled people's lives.
2. What does the verb defeats make you expect from the passage?
参考答案:A problem-solution account: a serious threat, an investigation or struggle, decisive evidence, action, and eventual progress.
3. Which is more likely to be the turning point: Snow's belief, his evidence, or his fame? Why?
参考答案:His evidence. A belief starts the investigation, but evidence allows him to reach and defend a conclusion.

Activity 7 Write a One-sentence Main Idea [4 min]
用一句英文概括全文,必须包含method, finding和impact。
参考答案:By mapping deaths and comparing people's water exposure, John Snow identified polluted water as the source of cholera, stopped a local outbreak, and transformed the study of disease.
解析:合格主旨不能只写"John Snow defeated cholera",还应交代他如何做以及产生了什么影响。
核心结构:从问题到进步
1 Problem
2 Theory / Question
3 Method / Data
4 Evidence / Reasoning
Cholera killed millions; its cause and cure were unknown.
Two contradictory theories; Snow suspected germs in food or water.
He mapped deaths and compared different cases.
Several clues pointed to the Broad Street pump.
5 Conclusion
6 Intervention
7 Wider Impact
The pump water carried cholera germs.
The pump handle was removed; the outbreak stopped.
Clean-water practice improved; epidemiology was transformed.
关键判断
结论不是从"地图上有很多黑条"直接跳出来的。Snow还要解释例外、寻找远距离个案,并在更大范围比较不同水源,证据才相互印证。
4 While-reading Evidence: What Did Each Clue Do?
Activity 8 Read Paragraph 3: Build the Evidence Table [12 min]
精读第三段。不要只摘抄事实,要说明每项信息在推理中发挥什么作用。
线索
文本事实
证据作用(解析)
Cluster near the Broad Street pump
Multiple deaths occurred near the pump.
Suggests a connection between the pump and the outbreak; identifies a likely source.
No deaths in several nearby households
Some nearby houses had no deaths.
Creates an apparent exception that must be explained; prevents a careless conclusion based only on distance.
Pub workers remained healthy
They received free beer and did not drink pump water.
Explains the exception: being near the pump was not enough; exposure to its water mattered.
Woman and daughter after moving away
They drank delivered pump water and both died.
Separates water exposure from location and strongly supports the pump-water explanation.
Activity 9 Negative Evidence Matters [4 min]
回答:Why are the healthy pub workers important evidence rather than a problem for Snow's theory?
参考答案:Because their case helps rule out simple location as the cause. They lived or worked near the pump but did not drink its water. Their health therefore strengthens the idea that the water, not merely the neighbourhood, was responsible.
解析:"没有发生什么"也可能是证据。关键是它能否排除另一种解释。
Activity 10 From Clues to Conclusion [5 min]
判断下列信息属于theory, data/observation, conclusion还是intervention。
信息
性质
理由
Bad air caused cholera.
Theory
An existing explanation, not yet verified in this investigation.
Many deaths were marked near the pump.
Data / observation
A recorded pattern from the map.
The pump water carried cholera germs.
Conclusion
An explanation reached after connecting several clues.
The pump handle was removed.
Intervention
An action taken according to the conclusion.
概念辨析
Theory(待检验解释)≠ Evidence(支持或反驳解释的信息)≠ Conclusion(根据证据形成的判断)≠ Intervention(依据判断采取的行动)。

Much more likely to get cholera
Shows the water-disease link beyond one pump and one street.
People drinking pure or boiled water
Cleaner or treated water
Less likely to get cholera
Provides a comparison group and strengthens the explanation.
Why does Paragraph 4 make Snow's conclusion more convincing?
参考答案:Because it provides a broader comparison involving different water companies and many people. The same pattern appears on a larger scale: polluted water is associated with more cholera, while pure or boiled water is associated with less disease.
Activity 12 Check the Strength of a Claim [5 min]
阅读三种结论,选择最符合文本证据强度的一项。
选项
表述
A
The map alone proved every detail about cholera.
B
Several connected observations led Snow to a well-supported conclusion about polluted water.
C
Snow was correct mainly because he was already a famous doctor.
参考答案:B
解析:A夸大单一证据的作用;C诉诸身份而非证据。本文的说服力来自多项信息相互印证。
Activity 13 Cause-and-effect Chain [6 min]
根据全文补全因果链。
Cause / Action
Connector
Result / Impact
Snow found connected evidence.
Therefore / Accordingly,
he concluded that the pump water carried germs.
The pump handle was removed.
As a result,
the local outbreak was stopped in its tracks.
Water companies began to sell clean water.
Consequently,
the threat of cholera saw a substantial decrease.
Snow used maps and statistics to study disease.
For this reason,
he is considered the father of modern epidemiology.
批判性阅读提示
在高中语篇层面,可以说证据"支持并确认"了Snow的判断。更严谨地说,单一观察不能独立证明因果;文本通过聚集、例外、远距离个案和大范围比较建立了相互印证的证据链。
6 While-reading Paragraph-by-paragraph Questions
Activity 14 Paragraph 1: Problem and Determination [5 min]
回答问题。
1. Why was cholera described as one of the most feared diseases?
参考答案:Because it caused severe diarrhoea, dehydration, and death, while people did not know how to prevent or treat it.
2. What contrast is created at the end of Paragraph 1?
参考答案:Although Snow became a famous doctor, he never lost his desire to defeat cholera.
解析:"成名"没有结束他的探索,突出问题意识和持续投入。
Activity 15 Paragraph 2: Competing Explanations [5 min]
回答问题。
1. What were the two contradictory theories?
参考答案:One theory held that bad air caused cholera; the other held that germs in food or water caused it.
2. Why did Snow still need proof after subscribing to the second theory?
参考答案:Because a scientific explanation must be supported by evidence that others can examine; personal belief is not enough.
Activity 16 Paragraph 5: Impact and Legacy [5 min]
回答问题。
1. What changed in public health because of Snow's work?
参考答案:Water companies began to sell clean water, and people better understood how to prevent cholera.
2. Why is Snow considered the father of modern epidemiology?
参考答案:Because his use of maps, comparisons, and statistics transformed how scientists study the spread of disease.
3. Which quality is most strongly demonstrated by the whole investigation: intelligence, persistence, or responsibility? Support your answer with one action.
参考答案:Answers may vary. Example: Persistence. Snow continued investigating even after becoming a successful doctor, and he examined several pieces of evidence before announcing a conclusion.
解析:开放题必须用"品质 + 行动证据"作答,不能只列形容词。

defeats
Turns an investigation into a struggle with a clear outcome.
Use a strong verb to foreground decisive action.
"King Cholera"
Personifies the disease as a powerful enemy.
A figurative label can make an abstract threat vivid.
John Snow as subject
Places the scientist and his action at the centre.
Keep the agent clear in a process account.
Activity 18 Evidence Arrangement [5 min]
为什么作者先写地图聚集,再写"无死亡住户"和远距离母女?
参考答案:The order mirrors the investigation. The map first suggests a source; the nearby healthy households raise a question; the pub workers explain the exception; the woman and daughter provide supporting evidence independent of location. The sequence lets the reader follow Snow's reasoning rather than receive a ready-made answer.
Activity 19 Claim-Evidence-Reasoning [6 min]
用CER框架概括全文核心论证。
C - Claim
E - Evidence
R - Reasoning
The Broad Street pump water carried cholera germs.
Deaths clustered near the pump; pub workers who avoided the water stayed healthy; a woman and daughter died after drinking delivered pump water; polluted-water customers had higher risk.
Across different situations, illness follows polluted-water exposure rather than simple location, so the water is the best explanation.

10 Post-reading Scientific Thinking and Responsibility
Activity 22 What Made Snow's Work Scientific? [7 min]
从下列品质中选择三项,每项必须配一个文本行动。
品质
文本行动证据
questioning mind
He did not simply accept the popular bad-air theory.
evidence awareness
He mapped exact addresses and compared cases.
careful reasoning
He explained apparent exceptions and sought supporting evidence.
willingness to act
He had the pump handle removed after reaching a conclusion.
public responsibility
His work helped improve clean-water practice and disease prevention.
Activity 23 Counterfactual Thinking [6 min]
思考"缺少某项证据会怎样"。
1. If Snow had only seen deaths near the pump but ignored the healthy nearby households, what weakness would remain?
参考答案:He might confuse location with water exposure and fail to explain an important exception.
2. If the woman and daughter had not been identified, would the conclusion become impossible or merely less strong?
参考答案:It would become less strong, not impossible. The cluster and pub workers would still matter, but the distant case provides especially useful supporting evidence that exposure to the water, rather than location, was central.
3. Why was removing the handle part of scientific responsibility, not just scientific knowledge?
参考答案:Because Snow used the conclusion to reduce immediate harm. Scientific understanding gained public value through timely action.
讨论要求
所有评价必须回到文本行动。避免只说"He was clever / great / determined"。推荐句式:He showed ..., as can be seen from the fact that ...

参考范文(94词)
参考范文:When cholera broke out in London in 1854, John Snow questioned the popular theory that bad air caused it. He mapped the homes of the dead and found many deaths near the Broad Street pump. He also noticed that pub workers who avoided the water stayed healthy, while a woman who had moved away died after drinking water from the same pump. These clues led him to conclude that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had the handle removed, and the outbreak was stopped. Reliable conclusions grow from connected evidence, not guesswork.

13 教师参考:板书与课堂收束
一、建议板书
左侧:Inquiry Chain
中部:Evidence Chain
右侧:Transfer
Problem → Question → Method → Data → Analysis → Evidence → Conclusion
Cluster near pump + healthy pub workers + distant cases + water-company comparison
Claim needs evidence.
Evidence needs explanation.
Conclusion guides action.
二、课堂收束问题
How did questions and evidence lead to progress in John Snow's investigation?
参考答案:Snow first questioned existing explanations, then collected and compared evidence rather than relying on belief. The connected evidence supported a conclusion about polluted water, which guided an effective intervention and later changed public-health practice and disease research.
三、易错点纠偏
常见表述
问题
建议改写
Snow proved the theory before investigating.
Confuses belief with conclusion.
Snow subscribed to the theory but still needed proof.
People near the pump got cholera.
Ignores exceptions and exposure.
Many deaths clustered near the pump, but the key factor was drinking its water.
The map was the only evidence.
Reduces a chain to one clue.
The map, exceptions, distant cases, and wider water comparisons supported one another.
Snow was successful because he was clever.
Trait label lacks evidence.
His careful mapping, comparison, and willingness to revise explanations made the investigation persuasive.
四、教材与资源边界
教材主文本:John Snow Defeats "King Cholera", 人教版选择性必修第二册 Unit 1, pp. 2-3。
