教学设计理念
1.依据《普通高中英语课程标准》倡导的英语学习活动观,围绕“人与自然”主题语境,以游记“The Sky Railway”为载体,按照学习理解、应用实践、迁移创新三个层次设计阅读活动。教学中以学生为主体,借助歌曲、竞答激活背景,通过略读寻读梳理语篇脉络,借助思维导图结构化输出,并在讨论与写作中引导学生思辨经济发展与生态保护的关系,最终落实语言能力、文化意识、思维品质与学习能力的整合发展,树立人类与自然和谐共生的观念。
教材分析
【What】 本文是一篇第一人称游记,叙述作者乘坐青藏铁路从西宁前往拉萨的旅途见闻。文章介绍青藏铁路这一“天路”工程,并重点说明建设者在克服高寒、缺氧等难题的同时,为保护脆弱生态所采取的措施——为藏羚羊修建动物通道、以高架桥保护湿地与草地、筑挡墙保护措那湖,末段升华“发展不应以牺牲自然为代价”的主题。
【Why】主题层面:引导学生认识“人与自然和谐共生”,理解重大工程建设可以与生态保护协同推进、实现绿色发展。
语言层面:课文以游记体裁展开,运用大量描写性、情感类词汇与非谓语动词、被动语态等语言结构,承载环保话题的核心语块。
思维层面:通过梳理“工程奇迹—生态保护—价值判断”的行文脉络,发展逻辑思维与批判性思维,形成可持续发展的价值判断。
【How】课文以“旅途进程”为线索线性推进,采用夹叙夹议结构;以细节描写再现高原景观与作者情感,首尾呼应,结尾议论点题。
学情分析
1. What I Know
词汇方面:学生已掌握 travel、protect、ecology 等基础话题词汇,具备记叙文与游记的基本阅读策略。
语法方面:能识别定语从句、状语从句,初步接触非谓语动词和被动语态,但在长难句分析上仍有困难。
背景知识:对青藏高原、青藏铁路有初步了解,知道它是世界上海拔最高的铁路,但对其环保举措知之不多。
2. What I Want to Know
主题内容:青藏铁路建设中究竟如何保护环境?经济发展与生态保护是否相互矛盾、能否兼顾?
语言知识:游记体裁的行文特点与衔接手段,描写性、情感类词汇以及本课出现的重点句式。
3. What I Learned
主题内容:理解工程建设可与自然保护并行,确立经济发展与生态保护协同、人与自然和谐共生的观念。
语言知识:掌握 anxious、distance、bitterly、ashamed、location、surroundings 等核心词汇及非谓语、被动等语言结构。

Activity 3 While-reading
Para. 1:
Sitting back in my seat, I can’t quite believe that I’m about to travel along the railway that many foreign experts claimed was “impossible”. The train has been racing along steadily since it left Xining. All this time, the song “Sky Railway” has been playing inside my head. The words “railways like massive dragons are winding among the mountains” seem particularly vivid as I travel across the “roof of the world”.
1. 1. Find details that show the author’s feelings?
2. What’s the function of Para. 1 in picturing the author’s journey?
答案:1.proud, sense of achievement 2. It sets both the background of the journey and the emotional atmosphere of the rest of the passage.
Para. 2:
I was one of the people who came from all parts of China to work on this railway. Taking years to complete, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a record of all of our efforts to overcome the most difficult engineering challenges. How to protect the delicate ecosystem was among the top concerns.
1.What function does Para. 2 play in developing the whole passage?
答案:1.It makes clear the thesis statement of this passage.
It serves naturally as a transition to the following paras.
Para. 3:
The first landmark to catch my eye is the splendid Qingshuihe Bridge, the world’s longest bridge built over permafrost. Look! A group of Tibetan antelopes is moving under the bridge, with some stopping to eat grass at their leisure. Thirty-three passages have been built under the railway to allow the animals to move safely and freely in their natural habitat. Wild animals such as these Tibetan antelopes have now been using these passages for years. They seem totally unaware that we are speeding past at over 100 kilometres an hour.
1. What’s the figure of speech used in “catch my eye”? What’s the function?
2. a. Underline descriptions of wild animals as the train passes Qingshuihe Bridge.
b. What’s the point in stressing the state of wild animals under the bridge?
答案:
1. Personification,Compared with “I noticed the bridge”, “the bridge catches my eye” seems to let the bridge interact with people. The object becomes lifelike and vivid, increasing language expressiveness (表现力).2.The wild animals live as usual, safe, free, not being disturbed. This proves the effectiveness of the 33 passages built to protect the wild animals.
Para. 4:
To prevent damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges with a total length of about 160 kilometres were built between Golmud and Lhasa. We even moved 140,000 square metres of wetland to a new area in order to protect its distinct ecosystem.
1. What is the author’s intention in listing these numbers?
答案:1.These numbers provide direct and concrete (具体的) evidence of the massive protective efforts made, which shows our nation’s environmental determination while constructing the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
Para. 5:
The journey has been flying by, and before I know it, we have reached Tanggula Station. Located at over 5,000 metres above sea level, this is the highest railway station in the world. In locations such as this, the thin air, changeable weather and high levels of UV radiation presented perhaps the greatest challenge for railway workers. To make sure we stayed healthy, several oxygen-making stations were constructed. We were also able to enjoy regular breaks in lower areas.
1.What does “it” represent?
2. What can be inferred from this sentence?
答案:
1.we have reached Tanggula Station
2.the train is running at a high speed
the author has a comfortable journey instead of feeling bored, ignorant of (未意识到的) the passing time
Para. 6:
As we pass Cuona Lake, I feel a sense of pride and achievement. Using thousands and thousands of sandbags, we built a twenty-kilometre wall along the lake to protect it from construction waste. Cuona Lake is so close to the railway that I want to reach out and touch its pale blue mirror-like surface. Water birds playing in the lake, and cattle and sheep wandering the grasslands bring the scenery to life.
1. What’s the figure of speech used in “pale blue mirror-like surface”?What’s the function?
2. How did the author describe the view of Cuona Lake?
Sights
Feelings
3. Why does the author feel “a sense of pride and achievement” when passing Cuona Lake?
答案:1.Simile. By comparing the lake surface with mirror, the author makes it easy for readers to image how clear and peaceful the lake surface is. 2. 1. pale blue mirror-like surface,wants to touch (to feel) it
2. water birds playing in the lake 3. cattle and sheep wandering the grasslands. the feeling of life 3.While building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, they made great efforts to protect the lake from construction waste, which has made it possible for the lake to demonstrate amazing beauty today. Thus, the author feels a sense of pride and achievement.
Para. 7:
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been attracting people’s admiration for centuries. Now, thanks to our efforts, passengers from all over the country have been enjoying these magical landscapes. I am proud that we built our “impossible” railway, and did so with the care that the environment deserves. It truly is an extraordinary “Sky Railway”.
1. Find three aspects for the author to be proud of within this para.
2. Based on the whole text, try to explain why Qinghai-Tibet Railway is truly an extraordinary “Sky Railway”.
答案:1.Thanks to efforts of he and his co-workers, magical views of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have become accessible to passengers.

【答案】
1.The Qinghai‑Tibet Railway runs from Xining to Lhasa and was put into operation in 2006. It is known as the “Sky Railway”.
During construction, builders took great care to protect the fragile ecosystem. They built passages for wild Tibetan antelopes to move freely. Plenty of bridges were built to protect wetlands and grasslands. Besides, a long sandbag wall was built to keep Cuona Lake away from construction waste. It is truly an extraordinary engineering wonder.
2.2.Diary October 12th Monday Sunny
Today I took a trip on the world‑famous Qinghai‑Tibet Railway, the amazing “Sky Railway”. Sitting on the train, I enjoyed breathtaking high‑land views. Snow‑capped mountains stood in the distance. When we passed Qingshuihe Bridge, I caught sight of several Tibetan antelopes walking freely under the bridge. Later, Cuona Lake came into sight. Its pale blue surface was just like a mirror, with water birds playing happily on the water.
I was deeply impressed by what I saw. Years ago, many foreign experts thought building this railway was impossible. While creating this great transport project, workers made every effort to protect the delicate ecosystem. They built animal passages, moved wetlands and set up sandbag walls to guard Cuona Lake.
This journey teaches me a valuable lesson. Economic development should never come at the cost of nature. We can achieve progress while respecting our environment. Only in this way can humans and nature live in perfect harmony.

教学反思
优点:以歌曲“Sky Railway”与知识竞答导入,有效激活学生背景知识;阅读活动按学习理解—应用实践—迁移创新分层推进,思维导图较好地落实了语篇结构与环保措施的梳理。
缺点:小组讨论与写作输出环节时间偏紧,学困生语言支架不足、开口不够充分;后续应增加示范语段与分层任务,合理压缩前半段讲解时间。
