Unit 1 Lesson 4 Theme Reading (课件)2026-2027学年英语仁爱科普版九年级上册

该初中英语课件围绕“北京自1980年代以来的变化”展开主题阅读，课堂导入通过Pair work让学生观察图片描述变化，引导进入主题。接着通过阅读文本对比过去（住房拥挤、交通方式单一、休闲活动少）与现在（现代公寓、交通发达、智能手机普及）的生活，总结主旨与细节，构建从感知到理解的学习支架。 其亮点在于融合文化意识与语言能力培养，通过事实与观点区分（如判断“过去街道窄”为事实，“旧时光更有趣”为观点）提升思维品质。采用任务驱动式阅读活动（如完成段落主旨图表、正误判断），结合情境化词汇练习（如“take place”“keep up with”），帮助学生在真实语境中运用语言，增强对中国发展的认知，教师可直接使用结构化活动提升教学效率。

Activity 1 To know China has changed Read the text and summarize the main idea and important details. Great changes have taken place in China since the 1980s. Let’s take Beijing as an example. I have lived in Beijing for a long time. So I can feel how much life has changed in this city. In the past, big families were crowded into small houses. They rode bicycles or took buses to and from work. The streets were narrow, and there weren’t many cars. After work, people usually stayed at home because they didn’t have many leisure activities to relax. People read newspapers to find out what was going on in the world. Now, Beijing has greatly changed. There are large blocks of modern apartments. The city is bigger with wider streets, and there are many underground lines and lots of cars. Improvements in technology have made smart phones very popular. People can chat with each other or enjoy themselves on their smart phones. The changes have made Beijing a modern international city. However, some people find the old days more fun. At that time, people were closer, and life was simpler and slower. In any case, we should keep up with the changing world. 4 Summary: The main idea is that Beijing has undergone dramatic transformation since the 1980s, evolving from a simpler, slower-paced city into a modern, international metropolis.
