英语必修5&选修6Unit 2 The United Kingdom教学设计及反思

Period 5 Grammar

The General Idea of This Period

This period lays emphasis on grammar, that is, the past participle used as the object complement, which is also one of the difficult points in Senior English grammar.

First, revise what the students have learnt in the last period by checking their homework, including some important phrases and translating some sentences from Chinese into English.

In this unit the students should learn about the past participle used as the object complement. First, the teacher presents one sentence containing a past participle used the object complement, which was taken from the reading passage.Teacher tries to analyze the function of the past participle and help the students have a general idea about it.Then the students are asked to find all the sentences that contain a past participle used as the object complement in the Reading passage.Then the students can come to a conclusion of the basic structure of the past participle used as the object complement, that is, have/get/find/...+object +past participle.Next the teacher will explain the differences between the present participle and the past participle.The teacher compares them when are used as the attributive, predicate, object complement and adverbial.In order to do so, the teacher always shows some typical examples.After that, the students will find out the difference between them.Then they are provided with some exercises for them to consolidate what they have learned.

In order to consolidate the grammar points, the students will do some oral practice.In this practice, the students will ask and answer some questions in pairs, using the past participle as the object complement.The students should not only learn about the grammar, but also learn how to use them, which is much more important.Also this part can help the students to communicate with each other using the language that they have learned, and this is the real purpose of learning the target languages.

Teaching Procedure

Step 1 Greetings

Teacher greets the students as usual.

Step 2 Revision

T: At the beginning of this period, let’s check your homework.First, please write down the phrases according to the Chinese explanations.

S2: In order to celebrate my cousin’s wedding, my aunt and uncle had an evening party arranged.

S3: It is probably puzzling, but to set an example can help to clarify the puzzle.

S3: Don’t be influenced by her words.You must decide for yourself.

S4: Polar took the place of her father to treat the guests at the party, since her father was not available to.

Step 3 Discovering Useful Structures

T: In the last unit we learnt about the past participle used as the attributive.Now let’s look at the following sentence taken from the passage.Please tell me what function is the past participle.

Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well.

S: It is used as the object complement.

T: You are right.So in this unit we will learn about the past participle used as the object complement.The structure is often formed with have /get /find/...+object +past participle.Please find three more sentences from the reading passage with past participles used as the object complement.

　(After several minutes.)

S1: To their surprise, the three countries found themselves united peacefully instead of by war.(Para.3) 

S2: However, just as they were going to get Ireland connected to form the United Kingdom, the southern part of that country broke away to form its own government.(Para.3)

S3: You find most of the population settled in the South, but most of the large industrial cities in the Midlands ad North of England.(Para.5)

T: Yes, you are very clever.Now, look at Part 2 (Discovering useful structures) on Pages 12-13.Complete the sentences by using the words in brackets and the structure have /get /find something done.

T: Let’s do No.1 as an example.We are having the house mended now.

　(After several minutes.)

S1: No.2 You look different today.Have you had your hair cut?

S2: No.3 Do you want to get the dictionary delivered to your house or would you prefer to come to the shop for it?

S3: No.4 Sorry, I haven’t had the film developed yet.

S4: No.5 On my way to the station my car broke down.When I got to the repair shop I found it closed.

S5: No.6 The computer doesn’t seem to work well.You’d better get it repaired.

S6: No.7 Jill and Eric had all their money stolen while they were on holiday.

S7: No.8 Chris had some flowers sent to Sarah on her birthday.Then Chris asked Sarah to marry hem and they had it announced in the newspaper.They had no time to arrange their own wedding, so they had it organized by a company.

T: Excellent.Past participle used as the object complement can also be put after such words as see, hear, notice, watch, keep, make, feel, etc.Please put the following sentences into English.

1.她高兴地看到孩子们在托儿所受到很好的照顾。

2.我感到心里轻松了好些。

3.我们应该让他知道这儿发生的情况。

4.你说话至少要让别人听懂。

5.他曾听人用德语唱过这支歌。

Suggested answers:

1.She was glad to see her children well taken care of in the nursery.

2.I felt a great weight taken off my mind.

3.We should keep him informed of what is going on here.

4.When you talk, you have to at least make yourself understood.

5.He once heard the song sung in German.

T: You did a very good job.Now let’s look at three sentences with“have/get sth.sth.done”. Please try to find out the differences between them.

1.I had(＝got) my teeth filled yesterday afternoon.

2.We must have(＝get) the work finished by Tuesday.

3.I had my leg broken when I got off the bus.

T: Do you think the structure“have /get sth.done”has the same meaning in the three sentences

Ss: No.

T: Then can you explain the differences?

S: In the first sentence, “have /get sth. done”means“to ask someone else to do sth.”.In the second sentence, the subject himself or herself may take part in the work.But in the third sentence, “have /get sth. done”means“to meet with something unpleasant”.

T: You are very clever.

T: Now, let’s compare the use between the present participle and the past participle.Look at the following examples: 

The boiling water is hot.

You can use the boiled water to make tea.

T: Can you tell me the differences between boiling water and boiled water?

S: “Boiling water”refers to the water that is boiling at the moment, while“boiled water”refer to the water that has been boiled.

T: Yes, they are different both in voices and time.Try to finish the following sentences using the proper forms of the verbs.

1.Come tomorrow and give the application to the man __________ (sit) at that desk.

2.Is this the book __________ (recommend) by our teacher?

3.We have to pay duties on goods __________ (import) from abroad.

4.The house __________ (stand) at the corner of the street was built in 1955.

(Teacher gives the students several minutes to think about these sentences.)

T: Now, let’s check your answers.

Suggested answers:

1.sitting

2.recommended

3.imported 

4.standing

T: You are right.Please look at the following two sentences.

1.This is the most confusing system I have ever seen.

2.The children will get confused if asked to learn too much at a time.

T: What are the meanings of “confusing”and“confused”?

S: “Confusing”means“令人困惑的”and“confused”means“感到困惑的”.

T: You are right.When referring to something, we often use the present participle, with the meaning of“令人……的”.When referring to somebody, we often use the past participle, with the meaning of“感到……的”.Look at the following words and write down their meanings in the brackets.

amazing (　　)      amazed (　　)

annoying (　　)       annoyed (　　)

boring (　　)       bored (　　)

surprising (　　)       surprised (　　)

S: amazing (令人惊讶的)     amazed (感到惊讶的) 

 annoying（令人生气的）    annoyed（感到生气的） 

 boring（令人厌倦的）    bored（感到厌倦的）

surprising（令人惊讶的）    surprised（感到惊讶的） 

T: You are right.Now let’s look at another two sentences: 

1.Don’t keep the visitor waiting.

2.Where did you get your book printed?

T: Both“waiting”and“printed”are used as object complement.What’s the difference between them?

S: In the first sentence it is the visitor that is waiting.In the second sentence your book is printed.

T: So we can summarize the difference as follows: if the object is the logical subject of the participle, we often use the present participle.If the object is the object of the participle, we often use the past participle.Now, try to translate the following sentences into English, using the present participle and the past participle as the object complement.

1.忽然他听见有人轻轻敲窗子。

2．我进屋时发现他在朗读什么。

3．你还是请人把鞋子补一补吧。

2.When I entered the room, I found him reading something aloud.

3.You’d better have your shoes mended.

4.He was surprised to find his room thoroughly cleaned.

T: You did an excellent job.As we all know, the present participle and the past participle can also be used as adverbial.Look at the following two sentences: 

1.Entering the room, she found the wall newly painted.

2.Written in haste, the essay had some errors.

T: Now, I will explain the difference between them.When the act that the participle refers to is done by the subject of the main clause, we often use the present participle.When the subject of the main clause is the object of the participle, we often use the past participle.Next finish the following sentences by filling in the blanks according to the translations in the brackets.

1. __________（顺大路往前走）she saw a tall building.

2. __________（由于不知道她的地址）, we couldn’t get in touch with her.

Reference for Teaching

have sth.done, have sb.do, have sb./sth.doing与have sth.to do等四种句型的区别

(1)have sth.done常用来表示“(主语)请别人完成某事”或表示“(主语)遭受某种不幸的情况”, 其中have可用get替换。

例如: 

①Why don’t you have(＝get) that suit cleaned?

你为什么不请人把那套衣服洗一洗?

②I can’t have(＝get) the car started.我不能启动这辆车。

Something about the UK

English Manners and Etiquette

The first rule English children come across at an early age is the importance of saying“please”and“Thank you.”Supplication, gratitude and, most important of all, apology are central to English social intercourse.

“Excuse me, ”“I’m sorry to tell...”when apology, regret or fear have nothing to do with it are all forms of social lubrication which spare others’ feelings and make life a little easier.

It is difficult for outsiders to learn how to wield the vocabulary necessary, but the starting point is to understand that it is almost impossible linguistically to be over-grateful, over-apologetic or over-polite when it comes to the point.Thus, the English man or woman whose toe you tread on will be“so sorry”presumably earlier.He or she will thank you“so much”when you stop treading on it or, if you do not, ask you to with a routine of pleases and thank-yous that would last any other national half a lifetime.It’s just the English way.

The English Sense of Humour

The English have an island culture-quirky(古怪的) and self-contained（持重的, 有自制力的）.Much of their humour is highly sophisticated and elusively（难以理解地）subtle（隐晦的, 深奥难测的）.

The English rarely say what they mean and tend towards reticence（节制） and understatement. So, while in conversation they avoid truths which might lead to confrontation, in their humour they mock（嘲笑）that avoidance.For instance:

At dinner in a great country house, one of the guests drinks too much wine, and slumps（陷落）across the table.The host rings for the butler and says: “Smithers, could you please prepare a room.This gentleman has kindly consented to stay the night.”

The English often happily poke fun at themselves.Complain about some aspect of English life that is quite awful and they will gleefully tell stories of trains that never arrive, of bureau-cratic bungling that has driven honest citizens to suicide, or of food so disgusting even a dog wouldn’t eat it.

The English love irony and expect others to appreciate it too.For example, one hill walker to another: “It’s only six miles by the map, yet your navigation made it ten.” Yes, but doing it in ten gives one a much greater feeling of accomplishment.”

English Homes and Gardens

It is largely thanks to the variable climate in England that the English lavish so much attention on their homes and gardens.They employ their leisure hours with an endless cycle of“home improvements”without which no home can ever be considered fully improved.

Inside and out they busy themselves installing electronic gadgets, shower, and built-in furniture.

The English man drives his impeccably polished vehicle up on to ramp, which he buys from the DIY shop, and tinkers around underneath it for hours on end.

You might think that, with all these self-servicing, self-decorating and improving, English skilled labourers would be out of a job or two.But this is not the case.Sooner or later, these experts have to be called in to make good for the damage caused by the amateur.

The English Adore Animals

It is an English maxim that a person who likes animals cannot be all bad.The English adore animals—all kinds of animals.They keep them, not, as other nations do, primarily to guard their property, for scientific interest or for status, but for company.

Animals, especially pets, are vital to English life.They are not always very good at talking to each other, but they excel in conversation with their animal.

Pet owners’ homes are shrines to their animals.The best seats, the warmest spots, the choicest morsels are handed over to these household gods as a matter of course.The British spend around 1.7 billion annually on pet food, twice as much as the total market for tea and coffee.

Cats and dogs, parrots and guinea pigs are excused behaviour which if seen in the children of the household might well end in assault.They are deemed to be incapable of almost any misdemeanour.So when dog bites man, it is always man’s fault, even if he is just a passer-by.

Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher was Britain’s first female prime minister.A graduate of Somerville College, Oxford, with a master of arts degree from the University of Oxford she worked as a research chemist and a barrister, concentrating on tax law, before being elected to the House of Commons in 1953.She held several ministerial appointments including education minister (1970-1974). Elected leader of her Party (the Opposition) in 1975, she became prime minister in 1979.Known as a strong leader and an“astute Parliamentary tactician, she knew how to handle disagreement, no matter from which bench it issued.

In 1982 she ordered British troops to the Falkland Islands to retake them from Argentina.She took a strong stand against the trade unions during the miner’s strike (1984-1985), and moved Britain toward privatization, selling minor interests in public utilities to the business interests.She also introduced“rate capping”which effectively took control of expenditures out of the hands of city councils, part of her policies aimed at reducing the influence of local governments.In 1989, she introduced a community poll tax.In 1990, her cabinet was divided over issues including the European Community which forced her resignation.In 1992, she entered the House of Lords, created Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven.Her memoirs are being published by Harper Collins.The first volume, “The Downing Street Years”was published in 1993.

Oxford University

Oxford, University of English autonomous institution of higher learning at Oxford, Oxford shire, Eng.It lies along the Upper River Thames, 50 miles (80 km) north-northwest of London.

Sketchy evidence indicates that schools existed at Oxford as soon as the early 12th century. By the end of that century a university was well established, perhaps resulting from the barring of English students from the University of Paris about 1167.Oxford was modeled on the University of Paris, with initial faculties of theology, law, medicine, and the liberal arts.

During the early history of Oxford its reputation was based on theology and the liberal arts.But it also gave more serious treatment to the physical sciences than did the University of Paris: Roger Bacon, after leaving Paris, conducted his scientific experiments and lectured at Oxford from 1247 to 1257.In the early 16th century professorships began to be endowed,  and in the latter part of the 17th century interest in scientific studies increased substantially.During the Renaissance, Desiderius Erasmus carried the new learning to Oxford, and such scholars as William Grocyn, John Colet, and Sir Thomas More enhanced the university’s reputation.Since that time Oxford has traditionally held the highest reputation for scholarship and instruction in the classics, theology, and political science.

In the 19th century the university’s enrollment and its professorial staff were greatly expanded. The first women’s college at Oxford, Lady Margaret Hall, was founded in 1878, and women were first admitted to full membership in the university in 1920.In the 20th century Oxford’s curriculum was modernized.Science came to be taken much more seriously and professionally, and many new faculties were added, including ones for modern languages, political science, and economics.Post-graduate studies also expanded greatly in the 20th century.

Oxford houses the Bodleian Library and the Ashmolean Museum.The Oxford University Press, established in 1478, is one of the largest and most prestigious university publishers in the world.

Oxford has been associated with many of the greatest names in British history, from John Wesley and Cardinal Wolsey to Oscar Wilde and Sir Richard Burton to Cecil Rhodes and Sir Walter Raleigh.The astronomer Edmond Halley studied at Oxford, and the physicist Robert Boyle performed his most important research there.Prime Ministers who studied at Oxford include William Pitt the Elder, George Canning, Sir Robert Peel, William Gladstone, Lord Salisbury, H.H.Asquith, Clement Attlee, Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, Edward Heath, Sir Harold Wilson, and Margaret Thatcher.

University of Cambridge

University of Cambridge is an English autonomous institution of higher learning at Cambridge, Cambridge shire, 50 miles (80 km) north of London.

The start of the university is generally taken as 1209, when scholars from Oxford migrated to Cambridge to escape Oxford’s riots of“town and gown”(townpeople versus scholars).To avert possible troubles, the authorities in Cambridge allowed only scholars under the supervision of a master to remain in the town.It was partly to provide an orderly place of residence that (in emulation of Oxford) the first college, Peterhouse, was founded in 1284.Over the next three centuries another 15 colleges were founded, and in 1318 Cambridge received formal recognition as a studium generale from Pope John ⅩⅫ.

Cambridge remained fairly insignificant until about 1502, when a professorship of divinity was founded—the oldest in the university.In 1546 Henry Ⅷ founded Trinity College (which was and still remains the largest of the Cambridge colleges).In 1570 Elizabeth Ⅰgave the university a revised body of statutes, and in 1571 the university was formally incorporated by act of Parliament.The new statutes, which remained in force for nearly three centuries, vested the effective government of the university in the heads of colleges.

In 1663 the Lucasian professorship of mathematics was founded under the will of a former member of the university, and six years later the first holder resigned in favour of Issac Newton, then a young fellow of Trinity.Newton held the chair for over 30 years and gave the study of mathematics a unique position in the university.

In 1871 the university established the Cavendish professorship of experimental physics and began the building of the Cavendish Laboratory.James Clerk Maxwell was the first professor.Here, too, the team of Max Ferdinand and Perutz and John Cowdery Kendrew and the team of Francis Crick and James Watson elucidated the structures of proteins and of the double-helix DNA, to found the modern science of molecular biology.Earlier came the work of Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, who, more than perhaps any other man, can be hailed as the founder of biochemistry. Noted Cambridge scholars in other fields have been the naturalist Charles Darwin, the economist John Maynard Keynes, and the historian G.M.Trevelyan.

Many of the college buildings are rich in history and tradition.King’s College Chapel, begun in 1446, is one of Britain’s most magnificent buildings.The mulberry tree under which the poet John Milton is reputed to have written Lycidas is on the grounds of Christ’s College.Samuel Pepys’s library, hosed in the original cases, is at Magdalene College.

The university library with well over 3 000 000 volumes is one of a handful in the country that is entitled to a copy of every book published in Great Britain.
