What are their effects? 作者引用了哪些名人的话？效果如何？——The writer quotes Albert Einstein: "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." 我没有特殊的天赋，我只是满怀好奇。The writer also quotes Jacques Cousteau: "What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on." 科学家究竟是什么？就是一个透过自然锁孔窥探的好奇的人。Effects: These quotes emphasize that curiosity is a powerful driving force behind great discoveries and scientific progress. They make the passage more persuasive and inspiring. 这些引用强调好奇心是伟大发现与科学进步的强大驱动力，使文章更有说服力和感染力。 ②What door can the key of curiosity open? 好奇心的钥匙能打开什么门？——It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world. 它为我们打开一扇又一扇发现新世界的门。 ③What other examples can you use to describe curiosity? 你还能用什么例子形容好奇心？——Thomas Edison: 他的好奇心带来电灯泡；Marie Curie: 对放射性的好奇带来镭和钋的发现；Leonardo da Vinci: 对解剖学、飞行与工程的无尽好奇留下超越时代的素描与发明；Steve Jobs: 对设计与技术的好奇催生 iPhone 与 MacBook。 【知识点】 ▶引用两把钥匙：Einstein 谦逊自比（天赋不如好奇）＋Cousteau 比喻（锁孔窥自然）——引用名言=借名人之口强化观点（persuasive and inspiring）。 【提示框】 答「引用的效果」套公式：强调……（观点）＋使文章 more persuasive and inspiring——两句完整作答。 名言引用问答页 （五）Think and share · 好奇与我 【过渡语】名人的好奇改变了世界——你的好奇，也许就是下一个起点。 ①Do you think inventors could work without curiosity? Why or why not? 你认为发明家没有好奇心能工作吗？——No. According to the passage, curiosity is the driving force behind great inventions. For example, Benjamin Franklin's curiosity about electricity led to the invention of the lightning rod, and Zhang Heng's curiosity about the world inspired his star map and earthquake detector. Without curiosity, people would lack the motivation to explore, experiment, and create new things. As Albert Einstein said, curiosity is essential for discovery.（Learning to think for question 1：You can consider these questions: what famous inventors do you know? What role does curiosity play in creating their inventions? 想想你认识哪些著名发明家？好奇心在他们的发明中扮演什么角色？） ②What are you most curious about? 你最好奇什么？——示例：I'm most curious about space and the universe, just like Wan Hu. I wonder how far humans can travel in space and if we can live on other planets someday. 我最好奇太空和宇宙，就像万户一样——想知道人类能飞多远、未来能否在其他星球生活。 【知识点】 ▶答「没有好奇心行不行」三步：亮观点（No）→课文例证（Franklin/Wan Hu/Zhang Heng）→反面推论（without curiosity, no motivation to explore）——观点+例证+推论，逻辑闭环。 【提示框】 「你最好奇什么」答完别停——加一句 I wonder... 把好奇心变成具体问题，回答立刻有深度。 （六）写作输出 · 好奇心的力量 Write a passage about the power of curiosity. 写一篇关于好奇心力量的短文。Step 1：Look at the opinions about curiosity below.

Just as Zhang Heng spent years studying the sky and earth, leading to his star map and earthquake detector, modern scientists like Marie Curie pursued their curiosity relentlessly. Her fascination with radioactivity led to groundbreaking discoveries, proving that curiosity fuels persistence. Similarly, Elon Musk's obsession with space exploration resulted in SpaceX's reusable rockets, revolutionizing space travel. As Jacques Cousteau said, curiosity is like peering through nature's keyhole. It gives people purpose, turning questions into breakthroughs. Without curiosity, progress would stall. Therefore, curiosity is not just a trait—it's the engine of human achievement, unlocking endless possibilities. 好奇心驱使人朝目标前进——张衡研究天地绘星图制地动仪，居里夫人对放射性着迷带来突破性发现，马斯克的太空痴迷成就可回收火箭；正如 Cousteau 所言好奇心如同透过自然的锁孔窥探；没有好奇心进步就会停滞——好奇心不只是特质，它是人类成就的引擎，解锁无限可能。带领学生标注范文「观点—例子—引用—评价」四段结构。 【知识点】 ▶写作四段式：My idea（亮观点）→ Example(s)（课文人物+现代人物双例证）→ quote（借 Cousteau/Einstein 名言升华）→ opinion（engine of human achievement 收尾）——观点立骨、例子添肉、名言点睛。 【提示框】 范文亮点：古今双例证（Zhang Heng + Marie Curie + Elon Musk）——仿写时也挑「一古一今」两个例子，说服力翻倍。 好奇心写作观点选择页 （七）词汇精讲 · 五词联动 学习 talent：搭配 have a talent for... 有……的天赋／natural talent 天生的才能——She has a great talent for painting and won many awards. 她极具绘画天赋，赢得了许多奖项。Hard work can sometimes beat natural talent. 努力有时能胜过天赋。 学习 pioneer：搭配 a pioneer in... 在……领域的先驱／pioneer a new method 开创一种新方法——Marie Curie was a pioneer in radioactivity research. 居里夫人是放射性研究的先驱。Steve Jobs pioneered the era of smartphones. 乔布斯开创了智能手机时代。 学习 test：搭配 test a theory 验证理论／take a test 参加考试——Students must take a language test before studying abroad. 学生出国前必须参加语言考试。Scientists tested the new drug on animals first. 科学家先在动物身上测试了新药。 学习 risk：搭配 take a risk 冒险／risk doing sth. 冒险做某事——He took a big risk by investing all his savings. 他冒险投入了全部积蓄。She risked losing her job to speak out. 她冒着失业的风险发声。 学习 spend：搭配 spend time/money on sth. 在某事上花费时间/金钱／spend (time) doing sth. 花时间做某事——I spent two hours on my homework yesterday. 我昨天花了两个小时写作业。They spent the weekend hiking in the mountains. 他们周末去山里徒步了。 【知识点】 ▶五词串课文：talent（Einstein 说自己无天赋）→pioneer（Wan Hu 太空先驱）→test（万户亲自 test 飞椅）→risk（暴风雨放风筝的 risk）→spend（张衡 spend years 研究天地）——五个词正好讲完三个人的故事。 【提示框】 随堂检测四题对应 talent／pioneered／risk／spend——第 2 题「率先」用 pioneer 的过去式 pioneered，第 4 题「怎么过」用 spend 原形。 范文精读页 （八）随堂检测 限时独立完成随堂检测（本课词汇），完成后同桌互批，逐题核对订正。 1. talent　2. pioneered　3. risk　4. spend 一、根据句意及汉语提示补全句子 1. 莫扎特很小就展现出音乐才能。Mozart showed musical __________ at a very young age. 2. 这家公司率先将人工智能应用于教育。This company ____________ the use of AI in education. 3. 肥胖会增加患心脏病的危险。Obesity can increase the ____________ of heart disease. 4. 后半天你打算怎么过？How would you like to ____________ the rest of the day? （九）作业布置 Review the key words, expressions and sentence patterns in today's lesson. 复习本课重点词汇、短语与句型。 Write a short passage about the power of curiosity. 写一篇关于好奇心力量的短文。 【提示框】 写作作业按四段式成文：My idea→一古一今两个例子→一句名言→你的评价——收尾套 the engine of human achievement。 语言点归纳 课堂总结 本课为单元读写课（第四课时）：Free talk 热身——What inventions do you think were born from curiosity? 你认为哪些发明源于好奇心？Do you have the curiosity to invent something? 你有发明点什么的好奇心吗？读前看图：借助提示词（curious 好奇的／new discoveries 新发现／do research 做研究／brave 勇敢的／pioneer 先驱／scientist 科学家／discover 发现）回答 1 Who invented them? 它们是谁发明的？2 How would you describe the inventors? 你会如何形容这些发明者？精读图表八空：Benjamin Franklin——He was curious about the 1 nature（本质）of electricity.
