2020学年高中英语 Unit 2 The universal language单元小结教学案 牛津译林版选修8

Unit 2 The universal languageThere is a trend that more and more young people are unwilling to listen to classical music. So the number of the young people who enjoy classical music is in decline. The teenagers have a tendency towards rocknroll. For example, many girls fall in love with Jay Chou at first sight. They seek chances to get his every album. However, a great many parents have a prejudice against Jay Chou. They condemned him for his unique music style. They also demanded that the school (should) help the students establish good appreciation of music. It is evident that people of different ages have different opinions.We should communicate more with our children and respect their opinions.,现在的趋势是越来越多的年轻人不愿意听古典音乐了。因此，欣赏古典音乐的人数在急剧下降。现在的青少年偏爱于摇滚乐。例如，许多女孩第一眼就爱上了周杰伦，她们寻求一切机会来得到他的每一张专辑。然而，许多父母却对周杰伦有成见。他们谴责他那独特的音乐风格，许多家长还要求学校应帮助学生建立良好的音乐鉴赏能力。很明显，不同年龄段的人有不同的观点。我们应该多与孩子交流并尊重他们的观点。加餐练(一)完形阅读组合练.完形填空I recently saw a program on television about Alcatraz Prison.

The origin of the name goes back to the 10th century, when Austria was an eastern border area of the Holy Roman Empire. From this early beginning, Austria itself grew into a great empire. During the 16th century, its emperor was the ruler of about ten countries. Today Austria is a small but rich nation in Central Europe.Religious holidays and other festivals are joyful occasions in Austria. In some religions, for example, there is an exciting festival for scaring away the winter. Weddings are very special occasions in the villages. These are days of much singing and dancing. One of the most exciting dances to watch is the Schuhplattler that in this dance the men slap their bodies while the girls twirl (旋转) around them in their bright dresses. They dance to the music of the zither or the violin. The musicians play faster and faster toward the end of the dance until the dancers are out of breath.A favorite holiday throughout Austria is St Nicholas Day. This is the day when Saint Nicholas visits Austrian children. The night before, the children always remember to leave their shoes where Nicholas will find them. In the morning the good children find beautiful presents in their shoes, but the bad children find only pieces of mud, which means nothing to them. Krampus, a blackfaced monster who is half human and often half horse, is supposed to accompany Saint Nicholas on his travels. Bad children are especially afraid of Krampus. It is said that he carries a broom to hit very bad boys and girls.In Austria, there are three music festivals each year that attract thousands of music lovers from all over the world. Tickets to operas, concerts, and plays in Austria are often sold out weeks in advance. Even rehearsals (排练) are usually well attended by students. When the old Vienna State Opera was bombed during World War ， thousands of desperately poor Austrians contributed small amounts of money to repair the building.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了奥地利的历史、具有代表性的节假日活动以及奥地利人民对音乐的热爱。1Austria was named Osterreich according to its _.Atradition BlocationCpopulation Dexpansion解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“can be translated aseastern realm. the Holy Roman Empire”可知，由于奥地利的地理位置位于神圣罗马帝国的东部边界，奥地利人称自己的国家为Osterreich，意为“东部王国”。2We know from the text that the Schuhplattler is performed _.Aby both men and womenBalong with religious musicCat the beginning of the winterDby dancers playing instruments解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“in this dance the men slap their bodies while the girls twirl (旋转) around them in their bright dresses”可知，演出者既有男的也有女的。故选A。3What will happen to the kids on St Nicholas Day?AKids always hide their shoes.BKids should behave themselves.CNicholas only gives beautiful gifts to good kids.DNicholas plays hideandseek with the kids.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In the morning the good children . which means nothing to them.”可知，只有好孩子才会收到圣诞老人送的漂亮的礼物，而坏孩子只能够得到泥土。故选C。4What does the last paragraph mainly show?AAustrians love of music.BThe attractiveness of music.CThe influence of music on Austrians.DThree worldfamous music festivals.解析：选A段落大意题。根据最后一段内容可知，奥地利每年都举办三个音乐节，歌剧、音乐会和戏剧的门票非常紧俏，奥地利人民即使生活穷困也要节衣缩食去重建剧院，这些都反映出了奥地利人民对音乐的热爱。故选A。加餐练(二)第卷规范增分练.语法填空A new opera, written by a secondgeneration Nigerian American, tells _1_ story of Harriet Tubman, who escaped from slavery and led others to _2_ (free) a centuryandahalf ago.Tubman was born into slavery in the state of Maryland in 1822.
