參考譯文:
未來的城市
未來的社會將會是什么樣子的呢?沒有人確切的了解,進行預測是一件很冒險的事。但有一件事是可以肯定的——它們變小之前將會變的更大。將來,愛護環(huán)境將會很重要因為地球的資源瀕臨枯竭。我們將會使用大量的可回收材料,例如塑料,鋁,鋼鐵,玻璃,木頭和紙。我們浪費自然資源的程度將會有所減弱。我們也將不得不更多地依賴其他能源。例如,太陽能和風能。所有的這些似乎是肯定的,但是還有許多關于城市生活的事情仍是未知的。
為了獲知年輕人對未來城市生活的想法,一位在美國得克薩斯州的大學老師讓他的學生思考如何在2025年管理一個擁有50000人口的城市,下面是他們的一些構想:
垃圾船:為了擺脫垃圾問題的困擾,城市將利用巨型宇宙飛船裝載廢棄材料并把它們送到太陽上去,這樣可以防止垃圾填埋和環(huán)境問題。
勤務兵網(wǎng):警察逮捕罪犯時,將會向罪犯射出網(wǎng)狀物而不是用槍。
戒煙:未來城市范圍內(nèi)將禁止吸煙。吸煙也許只在郊區(qū)和戶外是許可的。
告別商店街:將來所有的購物將在網(wǎng)上進行,商品目錄上帶有語音指示用來定貨。
電話人生:每個人一出生就會得到一個電話號碼,將來無論他們居住再哪兒這個電話號碼都不會更改。
娛樂:所有的娛樂形式,例如電影院,保齡球,壘球,音樂會等都將由該市政府免費提供。
汽車:所有的汽車都將由電,太陽能或風能提供電力,并且只要輕輕按一下開關就能改變汽車的顏色。
遠程手術:隨著每個城市擁有自己的遠程手術門診部,醫(yī)生將能在數(shù)千里以外實施手術,遠程手術將會變的十分普通。
居家度假:老年市民和殘疾人可以通過頭上的高技術相機周游世界。
太空遨游:普通市民遨游太空將會變的很平常,每個城市都將有自己的太空港。

Book5Unit3LifeintheFuture預習學案
一?目標聚焦
1.回顧歷史,認識現(xiàn)在,展望未來,激發(fā)學生的想象力。
2.學習使用有關預測和猜測的表達方式。
3.掌握過去分詞作定語和狀語的用法。
4.運用所學英語寫出具有豐富想象力的短文。
二.走進課文
1.Readthepassageandanswerthefollowingquestions:
⑴WhydidLiQianggointothefuture?
____________________________________________________________________________
⑵Howdidhegettotheyear3008?
________________________________________________________________________________
⑶Howdidhefeelwhenhelefthisowntime?
____________________________________________________________________________
2.Writedownthemainideaforeachparagraph.
Paragrapg1__________________________________________________________________
Paragrapg2__________________________________________________________________
Paragrapg3__________________________________________________________________
Paragrapg4__________________________________________________________________
3.句式點擊:
⑴Atfirstmynewsurroundingsweredifficulttotolerate.
開始的時候,新的環(huán)境讓人難以忍受。
本句型為“主語+be+adj.+todo”不定式用于形容詞后作狀語,其邏輯賓語為句子主語,但不定式要用主動形式表示被動含義。若其中的動詞為不及物動詞,則應在其后加相應的介詞。如:
Theseprogramsareusuallyeasytoreceive.
這些節(jié)目通常容易接收到。
Theboxisheavytocarry.
這個箱子搬起來很重。
注意:該句型的主語可以是人,也可以是物。用于此句型的形容詞有easy,hard,comfortable,difficult,heavy等。
⑵However,IlostsightofWangPingwhenwereachedwhatlookedlikealargemarketbecauseoftoomanycarriagesflyingbyinalldirections.
然而,當我們到達一個看上去是大市場的地方時,由于氣墊車朝四面八方飛奔,我看不見王平了。
①whatlookedlikealargemarket是一個由what引導的賓語從句,what在句中做主語。在這句話中what=aplacethat
②inalldirections向四面八方
⑶ThenWangPingflashedaswitchonacomputerscreen,andatableandsomechairsrosefromunderthefloorasifbymagic.
然而王平在電腦熒屏上的開關閃了一下,于是一張桌子和幾把椅子就像變魔術似的從地板下面升了起來。
①fromunderthefloor從地板下面
②asifbymagic像變魔術那樣
asif=asthough“似乎,好像”引導方式狀語從句
⑷Hitbyalackoffreshair,myheadached.
由于缺乏新鮮空氣,我感到頭痛。
過去分詞hit在句中做狀語,表示與主句中動作伴隨發(fā)生的情況,相當于一個狀語從句。
hitby---=BecauseIwashitby----
課文中類似的句子還有
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
⑸Insidewasanexhibitionofthemostup-to–dateinventionsofthe31stcentury.
里面陳列著31世紀的最新發(fā)明。
這是一個完全倒裝句,句子的真正主語是anexhibition.
表示方位的副詞或介詞短語,如here,there,up,down,in,away,off,out,等置于句首時,常引起完全倒裝
eg.Outrushedthechildren.孩子們沖出去了。
Infrontofthehousestandsatalltree.在房子的前面有一棵大樹。
三.語法分析
過去分詞作定語和狀語
1.過去分詞作定語
過去分詞作定語時,和所修飾的中心名詞之間存在被動關系,可以轉化成一個定語從句。
eg.Ilikethebooks(whichwere)writtenbyBaJin.我喜歡巴金寫的書。
2.過去分詞作狀語
過去分詞做狀語時,常表示時間、條件、原因、方式、伴隨、讓步等含義,相當于一個狀語從句,一般用逗號與其他成分隔開。過去分詞做狀語時,他的邏輯主語與句子的主語一致,與句子主語是被動關系。過去分詞表示的動作先于謂語動詞的動作發(fā)生,或者與謂語表示的動作或狀態(tài)幾乎同時發(fā)生
eg.Seenfromthetopofthehill,ourschoollooksmorebeautiful.
四.知識詳解
1.impressionn.印象,感想(后面常與?on連用)
ThebeautyofWestLakemadeadeepimpressiononme.
西湖的美景給我留下了深刻的印象。
Whathesaidgaveherabadimpression.
他的話給她留下了惡劣的印象。
搭配:makeleaveadeepimpressiononsb.givesb.adeepimpression給某人留下深刻印象
拓展:impressvt.使---獲得深刻印象,使—銘記
impressiveadj.給人深刻印象的
2.lackn.&vt.
1)n.缺少;沒有(后面常與介詞of連用)
Theprojectfailedforlackofmoney.
這項工程因資金不足而失敗。
2)vt.缺少;缺乏
Welackedthestrengthtowalkanyfurther.
我們沒力氣了,不能再往前走了。
拓展:belackingin缺乏(品質,特點等)

1)v.
①按,壓,擠,推,貼,熨平(衣服)
Pressthebutton.按按鈕。
Theshoesarepressingmyfeet.這鞋擠我的腳
②逼迫,敦促
