【教学难点】
准确对比雨林和沙漠的差异,培养逻辑对比的思维能力,灵活运用所学词汇短语,在不同语境中进行话题表达
词汇速览
plenty /ˈplenti/ n. 大量;充足
few /fjuː/ adj. 很少的(修饰可数名词)
wonder /ˈwʌndə(r)/ n. 奇观;奇迹
main /meɪn/ adj. 主要的
difference /ˈdɪfrəns/ n. 不同;差异
cactus /ˈkæktəs/ n. 仙人掌(复数 cactuses)
(一)话题导入 · 猜猜这是什么地貌
【过渡语】先玩个猜谜热身——根据描述猜猜这是哪两种自然场所。
Guess: What is the natural place? 根据线索猜地貌:一猜雨林(hot and wet, home to many kinds of plants and animals),二猜沙漠(usually dry, little rain, home to some kinds of plants and a few animals)。
Activity 1 Pair work. Look at the pictures and talk about what you know about rainforests and deserts. 结对谈论雨林与沙漠的已知信息。
【提示框】
猜谜就用上节课三句式:气候 It is hot and wet...+动植物 It is home to...——带着已知读文本,效率翻倍。
(二)读中理解 · 略读定主旨与划主题句
Skim the text, and then think about what's the main idea of the text. 略读选择主旨:Rainforests and deserts are two different living places in nature.(学习策略:Skim means reading a passage rapidly to grasp its main idea without focusing on every single word. 略读指快速阅读抓住主旨,不逐字阅读。)
Underline the topic sentence, and then write a proper title for the text. 划出主题句并为文本拟标题:主题句 Rainforests and deserts are two very different living places in nature.(首段),标题 Rainforests and Deserts。
【知识点】
▶略读策略:快速通读全文抓住主旨大意,不逐词阅读;主旨常在首段主题句或尾段总结句中——本文首段即主题句,尾段 wonders of nature 点题升华;
▶拟标题要覆盖全文对比对象:标题 Rainforests and Deserts 同时涵盖两个主体,且用 and 连接体现「对比」关系。
【提示框】
划主题句先看首句——说明文第一句常直接点明「谁和谁+什么关系」;拟标题别写成单方(只写 Rainforests✘)。
略读定主旨页
(三)读中理解 · 猜词义与填表格
Activity 2 Read the text and guess the meaning of the underlined words. 结合上下文猜划线词义:plenty(大量——animals have plenty of food to eat)、cactuses /ˈkæktəsɪz/(仙人掌——These plants can keep water.)。
Activity 3 Read the text again and complete the table. 再读文本完成表格:living places/plants/animals/wonders/home 五个关键词回文定位。
【提示框】
猜词两条路:看前后句逻辑(plenty of food 前面说 plants grow very tall、动物不愁吃→「大量」);看例子与功能(cactuses 后接 These plants can keep water→会储水的植物=仙人掌)。
猜词:plenty—大量;cactuses—仙人掌(复数)。
划主题句拟标题页
(四)读中理解 · 完成对比图表
Activity 4 Complete the comparison and contrast chart according to the text. 依据文本完成雨林与沙漠的对比图表:Rainforests—Climate: warm and wet;Plants: many kinds, grow very tall;Animals: many kinds, with plenty of food。Deserts—Climate: hot and dry;Plants: some kinds of plants(like cactuses, keep water);Animals: only a few kinds, live on other small animals。共同点:Rainforests and deserts are two very different living places in nature.(动物和植物能共同栖息 Animal and plants can live together)。
【提示框】
对比图表左右分栏填:先气候(warm wet vs hot dry),再植物(very tall vs cactuses),最后动物(plenty of food vs live on other small animals)——逐行对照,别串行。
雨林:warm/wet;many kinds of plants, grow very tall;plenty of food。沙漠:hot/dry;some kinds of plants;other small animals。

(五)读后输出 · 短语运用与复述
【过渡语】文本读透了,把四个关键短语用起来。
Activity 5 Fill in the blanks with the phrases in the box. 选短语填空:plenty of/many kinds of/live on/be home to。
Match the sentences with the pictures. 把四句与图片匹配(2/4/1/3)。
Retell the passage with the help of the table. 借助表格关键词(living places/plants/animals/wonders/home)复述全文。
【知识点】
▶live on 意为「以……为食;靠……生存」:Horses live on grass./Most desert animals live on other small animals.;
▶be home to 主语是场所(The sea is home to different kinds of fish.);many kinds of+可数名词复数(many kinds of flowers);plenty of+可数复数或不可数名词均可。
1. live on 2. many kinds of 3. is home to 4. plenty of。
Activity 5 选词填空:1. Horses ____________ grass and they drink water. 2. There are _____________ flowers in my garden. 3. The sea ____________ different kinds of fish. 4. There is ______________ food for animals in the rainforest.
短语选词填空页
(六)语言点讲解 · plenty of
【过渡语】文本里 animals have plenty of food 的 plenty of 是本课语言点头号。
学习语言点:Plants can grow very tall, and animals have plenty of food to eat. 植物能长得很高,动物也有很多食物吃。
【知识点】
▶plenty of 修饰可数名词复数或不可数名词,相当于 a lot of/lots of;无「a plenty of」这种表达——这是常见错误搭配,正确形式仅为 plenty of;
▶主谓一致:修饰可数名词复数时,谓语动词用复数;修饰不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数:The garden gets plenty of sunlight, so the flowers grow well./He has plenty of friends. His friends can help him with the move.
【提示框】
千万别写 a plenty of——plenty of 前面不加 a;判断谓语单复数看 of 后面的名词,不看 plenty。
plenty of 讲解页
(七)语言点讲解 · fish 的三种用法
学习语言点:The sea is home to different kinds of fish. 海洋是各种鱼类的家园。
【知识点】
▶fish 作可数名词表「鱼的条数」时,单复数同形:There are three fish in the bowl.;
▶fish 作可数名词表「鱼的种类」时,复数形式为 fishes:There are many kinds of fishes in the river.;
▶fish 作不可数名词表「鱼肉」:I like eating fish./We often go fishing on weekends.(go fishing 去钓鱼)。
【提示框】
fish 三张脸:几条鱼用 fish(单复同形)、几种鱼用 fishes、鱼肉还是 fish——前面有 kinds of 时复数用 fishes。
