Period 5Reading and Writing

整体设计

教学内容分析

The teaching materials of this period contain three parts.The first part is the reading passage on Page 30 with the title of “What Can We Do About Global Warming?”.It consists of two letters:a request from a student for help on a school project and the reply.The letters bring students' attention to a commonly held belief that individuals are powerless to do anything about environmental problems and that it is governments that are in a position to act and have the responsibility to act.Earth Care's letter suggests ways to save energy and therefore decrease the amount of carbon dioxide that is poured into the atmosphere.

The second part is Exercise 2 on Page 31,which asks the students to make a poster for their school that tells students various ways they can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.

The third part is a writing task designed by the teacher,which asks students to write a short passage about global warming.By practicing writing the passage,students can strengthen their knowledge about global warming and develop their sense of environmental protection.

The Environmental Effects of Fossil Fuels

There is no doubt that fossil fuels bring a lot of good to us.But do you know that many of the environmental problems our country faces today result from our fossil fuel dependence?

The environment faces air pollution,global warming,acid rain,and several other very serious problems because of our use of fossil fuels.Over the last 150 years,burning of fossil fuels has resulted in more than 25 percent increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is one of the main factors in global warming which is negatively affecting everyone.Fossil fuels also affect water pollution,land pollution,and thermal pollution(heat pollution).Coal mining is one of the causes of pollution in the environment.After the mining is completed,the land will remain barren.Materials other than coal are also brought to the surface in the coal mining process and these are left as solid wastes.The production,transportation,and use of fossil fuels are to blame for the effects of pollution on the environment.Then what should we do?We should spare no effort to improve our environment.Please save energy and use fewer fossil fuels in our daily lives.

Step 7Homework

1.Master the language points in the text.

2.Finish the writing task.

Step 8Reflection after teaching

Global Warming Solutions—What Can We Do?

The evidence that humans are causing global warming is strong,but the question of what to do about it remains controversial.Economics,sociology,and politics are all important factors in

planning for the future.

Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases(GHGs)today,the Earth would still warm by another degree Fahrenheit or so.But what we do from today forward makes a big difference.Depending on our choices,scientists predict that the Earth could eventually warm by as little as 2.5 degrees or as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

A commonly cited goal is to stabilize GHG concentrations around 450-550 parts per million(ppm),or about twice pre-industrial levels.This is the point at which many believe the most damaging impacts of climate change can be avoided.Current concentrations are about 380 ppm,which means there isn't much time to lose.According to the IPCC,we'd have to reduce GHG emissions by 50% to 80% of what they're on track to be in the next century to reach this level.

Is this possible?

Many people and governments are already working hard to cut greenhouse gases,and everyone can help.

Researchers Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow at Princeton University have suggested one approach that they call “stabilization wedges”.This means reducing GHG emissions from a variety of sources with technologies available in the next few decades,rather than relying on an enormous change in a single area.They suggest 7 wedges that could each reduce emissions,and all of them together could hold emissions at approximately current levels for the next 50 years,putting us on a potential path to stabilize around 500 ppm.

There are many possible wedges,including improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy(so less energy has to be produced),and increases in wind and solar power,hydrogen produced from renewable sources,biofuels(fuels produced from crops),natural gas,and nuclear power.There is also the potential to capture the carbon dioxide emitted from fossil fuels and store it underground—a process called “carbon sequestration”.

In addition to reducing the gases we emit to the atmosphere,we can also increase the amount of gases we take out of the atmosphere.Plants and trees absorb CO2 as they grow,“sequestering” carbon naturally.Increasing forestlands and making changes to the way we farm could increase the amount of carbon we're storing.

Some of these technologies have drawbacks,and different communities will make different decisions about how to power their lives,but the good news is that there are a variety of options to put us on a path toward a stable climate.

选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess t heir own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.

西方绘画艺术简史 艺术是受一个民族的风俗和信仰影响。西方艺术风格经历了多次变革。因为西方艺术多种多样,在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。因此,本书只谈及从公元六世纪开始以来最重要的几种艺术风格。 中世纪(5到15世纪) 在中世纪时期,画家的主要目的是把宗教主题表现出来。这一时期传统的艺术家无意于如实地展现自然和人物。这时的典型绘画充满了宗教的特征,体现出了对上帝的爱戴和敬重。但是,13世纪时绘画观念在改变是显而易见的,像乔托这样的画家开始以一种更现实的方式来画宗教场景。 文艺复兴时期(15世纪到16世纪) 在文艺复兴时期,新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想和价值观。人们开始较少关注宗教主题而采取一种更人性化的生活态度。同时画家们回到罗马、希腊的古典艺术理念上。他们力争如实画出人物和自然。富人们想拥有自己的艺术品,这样就可以装饰自己的高级宫殿和豪宅。他们出价聘请著名艺术家不仅让他们画他们的活动和成就,还要他们画自己的肖像、房子和所有物。 在此期间,最重要的发现之一就是如何用透视法来画出事务。这一手法是1428年由马萨乔第一次使用的。当人们第一次看到他的画时,还以为是透过墙上的小洞来观看真实的场景,并对此深信不疑。如果没有发现透视法,就没有人能画出如此逼真的画。巧合的是,这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展,使得绘画的色彩看上去更丰富、更深沉。没有新的颜料和新的手法,我们就不能看到很多使这一时期著名的杰作。 印象派(19世纪后期到20世纪初期) 19世纪后期,欧洲发生了巨大的变化,从以农业为主的社会转变成了以工业为主的社会。许多人从农村迁入到新城市。有许多新发明和社会变革。这些变革也自然地促成了新的绘画风格。在那些突破传统画法的画家中有生活和工作在法国巴黎的印象派画家。 印象派画家是第一批室外写景的画家。他们急切地想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影呈现出来。然而由于自然光的变化很快,印象派画家们必须很快地作画,因此,他们的画就不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致了。起初,很多人不喜欢这种画法,甚至还怒不可遏。他们说这些画家作画时漫不经心,粗枝大叶,而他们的作品更是荒谬可笑。 现代艺术(20世纪到今天) 在印象派作品的创建初期,他们是存在着争议的,但是如今已经被人们接受而成为我们现在所说的“现代艺术”的始祖了。这是因为印象派鼓励画家用一种崭新的视角看待他们的环境。如今,现代艺术风格有好几十种,然而如果没有印象派,那么这许多不同的风格也许就不可能存在。一方面,有些现代艺术是抽象的,也就是说,画家并不打算把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来,而是集中展现物体的某些品质特征,用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈现出来。而另一方面,有些现代派的艺术作品却是那么真实,看上去就像是照片。这些风格如此不同。谁能预言将来会有什么样的绘画风格?
