词汇速览
survive /səˈvaɪv/ v. 生存;存活;幸免于难(survive in the face of danger 面对危险时生存下来;survive the earthquake/fire 在地震/火灾中幸免于难;survive on sth. 靠……生存——Learning basic first aid skills can help us survive in emergencies. 学习基本的急救技能能帮助我们在紧急情况下存活下来。)
attention /əˈtenʃn/ n. 注意;关注(pay attention to... 注意、重视……;attract/catch one's attention 吸引某人的注意;focus one's attention on... 把注意力集中在……上——Teachers should pay more attention to students' mental health. 老师们应该更加关注学生的心理健康。)
aware /əˈweə(r)/ adj. 意识到;知道;察觉到(be aware of... 意识到……;be aware that...;become aware of... 开始意识到……——Students need to be aware of the school rules. 学生们需要意识到校规的重要性。)
importance /ɪmˈpɔːtns/ n. 重要性(the importance of... ……的重要性;be of great importance 非常重要;attach importance to... 重视……——We should realize the importance of learning foreign languages. 我们应该认识到学习外语的重要性。)
(一)自由谈话 · 我的学校日
【过渡语】上一课看了孟加拉国和危地马拉的非常规学校——这一课回到常规校园,看看英国和日本的学生怎么上学。
Free talk:What is your school life like? Can you describe your typical school day? 你的学校生活什么样?能描述你典型的一天吗?
【提示框】
描述一天按时间线走:get to school→lessons→lunch→after-school activities——时间线是介绍学校生活的万能骨架。
(二)文化预热 · 英日校园两镜头
This is a classroom in the UK. What differences can you see between this classroom and yours? 这是一间英国教室——和我们的教室有什么不同?(桌椅摆放、班级人数、装饰风格等开放观察)
In Japan, students clean their school every day. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not? 在日本学生每天打扫学校——你觉得这是好主意吗?为什么?(正反皆可:培养责任感与劳动习惯 vs 占用学习时间)
If you could write a blog post about your school, what special things would you share with the world? 如果为学校写博客,你会向世界分享什么特别之处?
【知识点】
▶跨文化观察两镜头:英国的小班教室(人少、讨论式)与日本的每日打扫(全员劳动)——学校生活的差异不只是课程表,更是教育理念;blog(网络日志)就是分享这些差异的平台:以网络为载体,便捷发布心得、与他人交流。
【提示框】
讨论日本打扫时别只说 good or bad——说 I think it's a good idea because it helps students develop responsibility.(观点+理由)才是有效表达。
(三)猜国籍 · 两篇博客
Kitty wants to learn about school life around the world. She has found some blog posts by teenagers from different schools. Here are two posts from them. Kitty 找到两篇来自不同学校学生的博客。
Read blog post and think: Nancy looks like a westerner. Maybe she is from _______. → the UK(南希看起来像西方人,也许来自英国);Maybe Tomoya is from _____. → Japan. The name seems like a Japanese one.(Tomoya 这名字像日本名字——从名字推断国籍)
【知识点】
▶读前推断法:从名字(Tomoya 像日文名)与外貌(Nancy looks like a westerner)推断作者国籍——阅读中的合理推测(make guesses)是重要策略,读后要用正文验证。
猜国籍读前推断页
(四)精读两博 · 六问提取
Nancy(Woodland Secondary School, the UK)三问:1 Why does Nancy's school have smaller classes? → Because the school is small.(学校小,班级也小)2 What interesting subjects can Nancy choose? → Drama and foreign languages.(戏剧和外语)3 How do the arts help Nancy's classmates? → They help them study better in other subjects.(艺术帮助他们其他学科也学得更好)
Tomoya(Gekko Middle School, Japan)三问:4 Why does Tomoya's school offer safety programmes? → Because Japan has many earthquakes.(日本地震多,需要安全教育)5 How do students learn about healthy diets? → Through food education / By learning to cook and eat well.(通过食育——学做饭、好好吃饭)6 What does daily cleaning help students develop? → Good habits from an early age.(从小的良好习惯)
【知识点】
▶六问三三对应:Nancy 校三问抓「小班—选课—艺术」,Tomoya 校三问抓「安全—食育—打扫」——每问的答案都是「学校特色+背后的原因」,因为(earthquakes/small school)与结果(safety programmes/smaller classes)的因果链是理解的钥匙。
(五)表格梳理 · 八空对比
Complete the table below about Nancy's and Tomoya's schools. 表格:School——Woodland Secondary School|Gekko Middle School。Country:(1) the UK|(2) Japan。
What is special:Woodland——◎Small school, (3) fewer students and smaller classes(学生更少班级更小);◎Different (4) subjects to choose from(可选的不同科目);◎Pay great attention to (5) art(高度重视艺术)。Gekko——◎Different (6) safety programmes(不同的安全课程);◎(7) Food education at school(学校的食育);◎A tradition of (8) cleaning(每天打扫的传统)。
表格即对比图:英国线(小而精——小班+选课+艺术)vs 日本线(实而全——安全+食育+劳动),八空完成英日校园全景对比。
【知识点】
▶八空词性预判:国名两空(the UK/Japan);(3) 空在 students 前填比较级 fewer;(4)(6) 空填名词 subjects/safety;(5) 空填 art(单数);(7) 空填 Food(专有化大写);(8) 空填 cleaning(动名词)——读表预判词性,回文定位更准。
【提示框】
答案速查:1 the UK 2 Japan 3 fewer 4 subjects 5 art 6 safety 7 Food 8 cleaning——第 3 空 fewer 修饰可数 students,别写成 less。
英日两校对比表格页
(六)判断改错 · 六题细辨
【过渡语】表格粗线条有了——判断题专查细节,一个介词一个词都能藏坑。
Write a T if a sentence is true or an F if it is false. Then correct the false one(s). 六题:1 Nancy's school is small, and it is in London. → F(原文 near London 在伦敦附近,不是 in London 伦敦市内)2 Nancy thinks Chinese is easy to learn. → F(not easy——To us, Chinese may not be as simple as French or German.)3 Nancy likes going to school. → T
4 Tomoya's school has different programmes to help students stay safe. → T 5 Tomoya does not know how to cook. → F(knows——食育课上学会了做饭)6 Every day at school, Tomoya and his classmates only need to clean the toilets. → F(need to clean classrooms, toilets and other school areas——不止厕所)
【知识点】
▶判断题三类坑:介词坑(in London vs near London);绝对词坑(only/est——only need to clean the toilets 加 only 就错);否定词坑(does not know vs knows)——改错时把错词圈出来写正确说法,训练精确阅读。
【提示框】
第 2 题回原文找 as...as:Chinese may not be as simple as French or German(中文不如法语德语简单)——not as...as 是同级比较的否定式,第 5 空 knows 细节在食育句。
判断改错六题页
(七)中国博客 · Linlin 九空
Kitty is reading another blog post about a Chinese school. Complete it with the correct forms of the words and phrases in the box.(词库:aware, creative, hands-on, look forward to, environment, offer, plenty of, pay ... attention to)Linlin 的博客:My name is Linlin. I am Chinese, and I go to Donghua Junior High School in Shanghai. We study lots of interesting subjects at school, such as foreign languages and History. But I love our Science lessons the most. We get to do all kinds of (1) hands-on activities.(动手实践活动)
Every year, my school has a science festival. It is a chance for us to be (2) creative with our learning.(创造性地学习)My classmates and I want to protect the (3) environment. We are also (4) aware of the importance of green energy.(意识到绿色能源的重要性)So, we built a small car for this year's science festival. This car gets its energy from the sun, so it is quite clean. Our science teacher is as excited as us. He (5) offered to help when we had a problem, and now the car works.(主动提出帮忙)
But that's not all! There are (6) plenty of fun things to see at the science festival.(有许多有趣的东西)I am really (7) looking forward to it.(非常期待)There will be toy robots and a model of a space rocket. I will (8) pay (9) special attention to everything and tell you all about it in my next blog post.(特别关注一切)
答案:1 hands-on 2 creative 3 environment 4 aware 5 offered 6 plenty of 7 looking forward to 8 pay 9 attention to——中国学校的科学节把 nine 个词全部激活:动手、创造、环保、意识、主动帮助、丰富、期待、关注。
【知识点】
▶九空三组搭配落位:be aware of(第 4 空 aware+of);look forward to+it(第 7 空进行时 looking);pay attention to 拆成 pay(8)+attention(9) 中间隔 special——offer 变 offered(过去时 had a problem 提示);plenty of 修饰复数 fun things。
【提示框】
第 5 空时态线索:when we had a problem 过去时提示 offered;第 7 空 am 后接 looking forward to(现在进行时表当前期待);第 8-9 空拆词 pay...attention to 中间插 special。
(八)语言点 · 三组核心
【过渡语】九空里埋着三组高频语言点——逐一拆解。
look forward to (doing) sth.:意为「期待,盼望」。这里的 to 是介词,而不是动词不定式符号,后面必须接名词、代词或动词的 -ing 形式(动名词),绝对不能接动词原形——However, I am looking forward to having a go. 然而,我期待试一试。I look forward to hearing from my pen pal in the UK. 我期待收到英国笔友的信。
as...as...:意为「和……一样……」,用于同级比较。结构:as+形容词/副词原级+as。否定形式:not as/so+形容词/副词原级+as,意为「不如……;没有……那么……」。注意中间必须使用原级,不能用比较级或最高级——To us, Chinese may not be as simple as French or German. 对我们来说,中文可能不如法语或德语那么简单。My school library is not as big as Nancy's school library. 我的学校图书馆不如南希的学校图书馆大。
care about:意为「关心;在意;担忧」,后面直接接名词、代词或从句作宾语。辨析:care about 侧重「在乎、关心」(强调态度);care for 除了「喜欢」还有「照顾、照料」的意思(相当于 look after)——My classmates and I care about the environment. 我和同学们关心环境。A good student not only studies hard but also cares about the community. 一个好学生不仅努力学习,还关心社区。
【知识点】
▶三组各记一句铁律:look forward to+doing(to 是介词!receiving 不接原形);as...as 中间用原级(not as big as 不如);care about=在乎态度(care for=喜欢/照顾)——检测词形题 receiving/big/of+protecting 全从这三组出。
【提示框】
第 2 空 not as ______ as 中间填原级 big——就算想夸学校大也只能用原级,as...as 结构里没有比较级的容身之处。
(九)词汇精讲 · 四词联动
学习 survive(v. 生存;存活;幸免于难):survive in the face of danger 面对危险时生存/survive the earthquake/fire 在地震火灾中幸免于难/survive on sth. 靠……生存——Learning basic first aid skills can help us survive in emergencies. 学习基本急救技能能帮我们在紧急情况下存活下来。
学习 attention(n. 注意;关注):pay attention to... 注意、重视/attract/catch one's attention 吸引某人的注意/focus one's attention on... 集中注意力——Teachers should pay more attention to students' mental health. 老师们应更加关注学生的心理健康。
学习 aware(adj. 意识到;知道):be aware of.../be aware that.../become aware of...——Students need to be aware of the school rules. 学生们需要意识到校规的重要性。
学习 importance(n. 重要性):the importance of.../be of great importance 非常重要/attach importance to... 重视——We should realize the importance of learning foreign languages. 我们应该认识到学习外语的重要性。
四词串课文:safety programmes 帮学生在地震中 survive→pay attention to(关注安全与心理健康)→be aware of(意识到)→the importance of...(……的重要性)——aware of the importance of protecting 是检测第四题的双空原句。
【知识点】
▶词形链:survive→survival(生存技能 survival skills)→survivor(幸存者);important→importance(形容词变名词 -ance);aware 的名词 awareness(意识)——检测第 4 空 be aware of the importance of protecting the environment 三个词性一次考全。
【提示框】
第 4 空双空连环:be aware ______ the importance of ______ (protect) the environment——aware 后接 of;importance of 后接动名词 protecting(of 是介词)——两个介词各管一个空。
(十)读后思辨 · 三问评价
【过渡语】三所学校都认识了——轮到你当评委:哪所学校最打动你?
Think about the questions below. Share your answers with your classmates. 1 In your opinion, what is the best thing about each school? 参考:Woodland: Being creative helps students study better.(创造性帮助学习);Gekko: Safety programmes teach survival skills.(安全课程教生存技能)
2 Which school in the blog posts would you like to go to?

(十二)小结与作业
Summary:In this lesson, we read two blog posts about school life in the UK and Japan——Nancy's school (Woodland Secondary School): a small school near London with fewer students, smaller classes, interesting subjects to choose from, and a focus on the arts;Tomoya's school (Gekko Middle School): a school in Japan with safety programmes for earthquakes, food education, and a tradition of daily cleaning。Main idea——Schools around the world are different, but they all help students grow and learn in their own special ways.(世界各地的学校各不相同,但都以各自特别的方式帮助学生成长学习。)
Homework:Review——Memorize the key vocabulary and language points, and complete the table comparing Nancy's and Tomoya's schools from memory. 背记核心词汇与语言点,凭记忆完成两校对比表格。Preview——Preview the next lesson. 预习下一课。
【提示框】
凭记忆填表格是最高效的自查:先写国名,再各写三条特色——哪空卡壳就回读课文哪段,复习立刻有的放矢。
