云南省德宏州芒市第一中学高中英语 Unit3 A taste of English humour教学设计 新人教版必修4.doc

unit 3 a taste of english humourperiod 1 warming-up , pre-reading and reading 本单元的中心话题是“英语幽默”。 其中涉及到了幽默的种类及其代表人物，并就中外幽默进行了粗略的比较，以此让学生感受英语幽默的内涵。教学该单元是要让学生们认识到，因为中外文化的差异，人们对幽默的理解不同，这往往会引起理解困难；另一方面，通过对各种幽默表现形式的展示，鼓励学生保持乐观的人生态度，培养幽默感，陶冶情操。一、 教学内容及其解析内容：warming-up, pre-reading and reading 解析：warming-up中提出了三个问题：how many kinds of humour do you know？do you know these kinds of humour？ do you have other kinds of humour in china？这三个问题直指本单元中心话题，为下一步的阅读理解作了准备。pre-reading在warming-up 的基础上提出了另外三个问题：what do you like to laugh at？ what does humour mean？ is humour always kind？这三个问题进一步让学生了解幽默的含义，即把缺陷与完美、荒唐与合理、愚笨与机敏等两极对立的属性不动声色地结合起来，在对立统一中见其深刻的意义。reading以美国著名喜剧大师charlie chaplin的表演为例，为学生展示了幽默的内涵。目标及解析目标：识记目标词；训练口语能力；引导学生用英语解释单词和短语，使其掌握目标语法：培养学生的阅读能力。解析：warming-up部分设计了三个练习。练习1是让学生体会两则笑话里的点睛之笔，引起学生对本单元话题的兴趣。练习2是一个填表题，主要目的是让学生了解英语幽默艺术的一些国际大师级人物。练习3 是一个开放题，学生可以根据个人实际情况回答，并说明自己喜欢语言或非语言幽默的原因。 pre-reading部分的设计是为课文的学习做准备。reading是为了通过学习培养学生的阅读技巧。教学问题诊断及分析 本节内容的问题在于学生虽然有话可说，却因为本身词汇量小，无法用英语来表达自己的思想，在阅读过程中的生词也会影响到学生的阅读速度，以及课文内容的把握。二、

with their lives. 每当人们感到失望的时候他总能令人发笑，因而他们对自己的生活更满足。1) content (adj.): satisfied, happy, not wanting more 满足，满意，知足。 常见搭配：be content with sth. be content to do sth. 如： are you content with your present salary? 你对你现在的工资待遇满意吗？she is quite content to stay at home looking after her children. 她呆在家里照顾孩子感到非常知足。区别: content; contented; satisfied content与contented意思接近，指“虽然各种愿望没有实现，但人应安于现状不再多求”，content 一般作表语，而contented一般作定语; satisfied指“愿望、渴望或需求都得到了满足, 因而心满意足了”。 如：she has a contented look. 她显得满意的样子。2) content (vt.)使满意, 使满足 content sb./oneself with sth. 使满足于 i content myself with a glass of coffee everyday.3) content (n.): that which is contained in sth. 所含之物，内容i like the style of the book but i dont like the content.我喜欢这本书的文体，但我不喜欢它的内容。2.not that charlies own life was easy! 这并不是说查理本人生活得就那么容易。not that意为“我并不是说、尽管我并不”，用于句首或短语之前表达否定含义，是对上面所说的话或所做的事进行补充说明，以免引起误会。如：not that i hate the work. im not strong enough for it. 并非我讨厌这份工作，而是我不够强壮，无法胜任。mary has a new job not that i care. 玛莉有一份新工作 那我倒不关心。 拓展 not that . but (that)意为“不是因为而是因为”、“（并）不是而是”，用于肯定一个原因，否定另一个原因，或者肯定一个判断，否定另一个判断。 3. you may find it astonishing that charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. 令人感到震惊的是，当查理会说话和走路的时候就被教唱歌和跳舞。1) it在句中作形式宾语，动词不定式to seethe road才是真正的宾语。当动词不定式作句子的宾语，同时有一个形容词同宾语在一起时，常用it作形式宾语。如： ill make it my business to help her. 我会把帮助她作为我的责任。do you consider it wise to tell them about it? 你觉得告诉他们明智吗？ we consider it useless arguing with him on that point. 我们认为在那点上与他争论是没有用的。2) 句中的astonishing为动词的-ing形式作宾语补足语。 astonish: to surprise sb. greatly 使（某人）吃惊， 震惊。比surprise的语气要强。 如：the earthquake astonished me. 地震使我惊慌失措。be astonished 吃惊 如：be astonished+ at (by) /to do/that 被(因)惊吓she was astonished to find he was drunk. 发现他喝醉了, 她很吃惊。astonishing adj. 令人吃惊的 an astonishing remark 惊人之语 astonishment n. 惊异；惊愕；惊奇in astonishment 愕然， 吃惊地 如：she stared at me in astonishment. 她吃惊地瞪着我。to ones astonishment 令惊异的是 如：to our astonishment the little boy swam across the river令我们惊奇的是那小男孩居然游过了那条河。4. unfortunately his father died, leaving the family even worse off, 不幸的是，他父亲去世了，这令到这个家庭更加潦倒。badly off: in a poor position, esp. financially 潦倒，穷困，其反义词是well off，句中的worse off 为其比较级形式。 如：they are too badly off to have a holiday. 他们贫穷得根本谈不上度假。in fact most people are better off than they were five years ago.实际上现在大多数人都比五年前要富裕。链接: be well off 富裕的，处境好的 be worse off 情况带坏，恶化 be better off (尤指经济)境况较好leave sb/sth +n. adj. doing done prep. phrases如：his father died, leaving him much money.who left the door open?he went out, leaving his work unfinished.the teacher left him standing outside.the parents left the child in the room.5. the tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat. 那流浪者是一位穷苦的无家可归的人，留着胡子，穿着大裤子，破鞋子，头顶着黑色的小圆帽。homeless adj. 无家可归的 -less是表示否定意义的形容词后缀, 加在某些名词的后面构成否定意义的形容词。类似的 如：helpless 无力的，无计可施的；无助的，无依无靠的careless 粗心的，轻率的childless 没有儿女的harmless 无害的，无损害的; 没有恶意的，无邪的ceaseless 不断的，不停的countless 数不尽的，无数的tireless 不会疲倦的，不知疲倦的，不休止的worn-out adj.1)（衣类、机器等）磨破的；磨损的；用旧的 如： worn-out shoes 穿旧的鞋2) 精疲力尽的；憔悴的（一般不用在名词前） 如: she looks worn-out. 她看起来憔悴不堪。6. this character
