1、Unit 3 Life in the future【教材分析】本单元以“Life in the future”为中心话题，旨在通过本单元的学习，让学生大胆发挥想象，对人类今后的生活环境，生活方式进行猜测，并在此基础上，对人类的种种活动进行反思，提倡环保生活意识。同时让学生学会过去分词作定语和作状语的不同用法。最后让学生将本单元所讨论的话题和推测手法相结合，学习怎样写report。Warming Up 部分利用一个关于“住”和“行”的对比研究表格引导学生回顾过去，认识现在和展望未来。通过这一活动，引发学生对过去，现在和未来的思考，使学生对将要阅读的文章有个知识准备。Pre-reading 部分让
