Unit 3 Life In the Future学情分析：________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 教材分析本单元的中心话题是“谈未来”，内容主要涉及人类对今后生活环境的想象、猜测和思考。

通过本单元的学习，要让学生大胆发挥想象，对人类今后的生活环境，集宁一中2011年高二上学期第 1 页共9 页编制人：于素丽建议：高中阶段的英语教学，主要是阅读理解技能和读写技能，因此每个单元的教学设计中，要十分明确阅读微技能和读写微技能的教学目标，具体阅读微技能的描述，请参见《高中英语阅读技能》给出的表格和高考考试大纲中的阅读技能。

教案一Warming Up, Pre-reading and comprehending Teaching Goals:1.To illustrate Ss’ imagination of future life.2.To arouse Ss to pay more attention to the problems that probably appeared in thefuture life.3. Enable the students to describe the life in the past, at present and in the future. Step 1 Lead-in（多媒体展示）Show some pictures about life in the past and life at present.(or let students enjoy a short movie about life in the future.)Let students discuss the question :What do you think future life will be like?建议：呈现的图片或者视频，最好有个范围，比如：交通、通讯、学校生活等等，这些范围的内容最好和后面的阅读内容有较强的关联，以便更好的导入课文预测和阅读理解。

Step 2. Warming UpGroup workWhat changes do you expect to see in your life in 50 years’ time? In groups, choose tw o of them to have a discussion, then make notes in the table.(可选其中几项进行讨论)集宁一中2011年高二上学期第 2 页共9 页编制人：于素丽建议：这个活动很好，但是很考验教师的想象力和对最新科技的关注，而且要注意这个活动没有正确答案的，要充分肯定学生的想象。

但是，太实际的想象也要给予提醒，因为这个活动要想象1000年后的生活，实在是太遥远了！完全超过了人类的想象的！如果是设计为50年之后，估计要好很多。

Step 3. Pre-readinga sk Ss to discuss the following questions in pairs.(1)Make a list of the problems human beings are facing today.(2) Which problems do you think people will have overcome in one thousand years? Which ones do you think will still exist in AD 3008?Suggested Answers:global warming; acid rain; growing areas of desert; overlarge world population,lack of enough drinking water,建议：Warming-up不要占用过多的时间，而且，如此遥远的想象活动设计，实际上起不到打开学生想象空间的作用的，因为实在是太遥远了！因此，建议上述活动占用半节课的时间完成即可，然后就进入文章阅读活动。
