1993年5月5日,天津首次舉辦愛眼日宣傳活動。受此影響,1996年,衛(wèi)生部、教育部、團(tuán)中央、中國殘聯(lián)等12個部委聯(lián)合發(fā)出通知,將愛眼日活動列為國家節(jié)日之一,并重新確定每年的6月6日為“全國愛眼日”。2015年全國愛眼日是6月6日。
世界愛眼日不同于全國愛眼日,世界愛眼日是每年十月的第二個星期四,是屬于世界性的節(jié)日,在這天,全球多個指定國家及地區(qū)會舉辦一系列的大型宣傳活動。 目的是喚起全球重視盲癥、視力損害以及視力受到損害者的康復(fù)問題,世界愛眼日是在“視覺2020全球倡議”下舉辦的。世界上所有與預(yù)防視力損害或者恢復(fù)視力有關(guān)的合作伙伴都將慶祝世界愛眼日。這也是預(yù)防盲癥以及“視覺2020:享有看見的權(quán)利”的主要宣傳活動。后者是由世衛(wèi)組織和國際防盲機(jī)構(gòu)創(chuàng)立、用以預(yù)防盲癥的一項全球行動。2014年世界愛眼日是10月16日。

【知識歸納】
形容詞,副詞的比較等級考查熱點透視:
a)表示A與B在程度上相同b)時,c) “as+形容詞或副詞的原級+as”結(jié)構(gòu)。表示A不d)如B時,e)可用“not as/so+形容詞或副詞的原級+as”結(jié)構(gòu)。
f)表示A比B在程度上“更…..”時,g)可用“形容詞或副詞的比較級+than”結(jié)構(gòu)
h)表示三者或三者以上的比較,i)其中一個在程度上“最…..”時,j)常用“the+形容詞或副詞的級”結(jié)構(gòu),k)后面可帶“of/in的短語”來說明比較的范圍。(注意:副詞的級在句中常省略“the”.)
l)在形容詞或副詞的比較級前,m)可以用“a little, even, far, much,still”的等詞語來修飾,n)以加強(qiáng)語氣。
o)表示“越來越….”時,p)常用“形容詞或副詞的比較級+and+形容詞或副詞的比較級”結(jié)構(gòu),q)但要注意,r)對于多音節(jié)和部分雙音節(jié)形容詞,s)副詞而t)言,u)若要表達(dá)此意時,v)要用“more and more+形容詞或副詞的原級“結(jié)構(gòu)。
w)在表示“其中最….之一“的含義時,x)常使用 “one of+the+形容詞級形式+名y)詞復(fù)z)數(shù)”結(jié)構(gòu),aa)其中的定冠詞the不bb)可以省略。
cc)如果強(qiáng)調(diào)“兩者中比較…的(一個)”的意思時,dd)可使用“the+形容詞比較級+其它”結(jié)構(gòu)。
ee)表示“越….越….”, 可使用“the+形容詞或副詞的比較級,ff)the+形容詞或副詞的比較級”結(jié)構(gòu)。
2 .一般將來時
一般將來時的構(gòu)成:由助動詞shall或will加動詞原形構(gòu)成,shall用于第一人稱。在口語中,will在名詞或代詞后常簡略為’ll, will not常簡略為won’t。這個時態(tài)的肯定,否定和疑問結(jié)構(gòu)可表示如下:
肯定句否定句疑問句
I (We)shall(will) go.
You(He, She, They) will go.I(We)shall(will) not go.
You(He, She, They)will not go.Shall I(we) go?
Will you (he, she, they) go?
用”be going to +動詞原形”也可表示將來時,表示將要發(fā)生的事,打算或決定要做的事。
b)一般將來時的用法:1)表示將要發(fā)生的動作或情況;2) 不以人的意志為轉(zhuǎn)移,肯定要發(fā)生的事情。The day after tomorrow will be National Day.后天是國慶日。
3. in/after:in是指以現(xiàn)在時間為起點的“在一段時間以后”。也可以表示“在將來多少時間之內(nèi)”,句子中的謂語動詞要用一般將來時態(tài);after常指以過去時間為起點的“一段時間之后”,所以它與過去時態(tài)連用。當(dāng)after指某個特定的未來時刻或日期之后,或指以將來某一時間為起點的若干時間之后時,它可以與將來時態(tài)連用。
4.more, less, fewer的用法區(qū)別:more為many, much的比較級,意為“更多”,可修飾可數(shù)與不可數(shù)名詞。Less是little的比較級,意為“更好,較少”,修飾不可數(shù)名詞。Fewer是few的比較級,意為“更少”,修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)。
【注意】few, little表示否定“幾乎沒有”。a few, a little表示肯定“一點,幾個”。
5.would like sth意思為“想要某物“; would like to do意思為”想要做某事“?;卮饂ould like句型的一般疑問句時,其肯定回答為 “Yes, please.”;否定回答“No, thanks”或 “I’d like /love to, but….”
6. Such作形容詞,意思是“如此的”“這樣的”,修飾各種名詞。
Such這樣的。如It is such bad weather.天氣如此惡劣。
Such常和as搭配,表示一種類別。如We enjoy such a voice as hers.我們喜歡象她那樣的嗓子。
Such常和表示結(jié)果的that從句搭配,表示“如此….以至于…”如
It was such a hot day that we all had to stay at home.
Such…that…和so…that…都可用來引出一個結(jié)果狀語從句。由于such是形容詞,所以that從句前有一個受such修飾的名詞;而so 是副詞,用以修飾形容詞或副詞,因此that從句前一般不出現(xiàn)名詞。如
They are such kind-hearted teachers that people in the village all respect them.
The exam was so difficult that many students failed to pass it.
如果名詞是可數(shù)名詞的單數(shù)形式,such和so的位置不同:
such+a/an+形容詞+單數(shù)名詞
so+形容詞+a/an+單數(shù)名詞
如果名詞是不可數(shù)名詞或名詞復(fù)數(shù),只可用such,不能用so.:
such+形容詞+不可數(shù)名詞或復(fù)數(shù)名詞
如果被修飾的不可數(shù)名詞被much, little, 或復(fù)數(shù)名詞被many, few等表示量的形容詞修飾時,用so,不用such.
當(dāng)little表示“年紀(jì)小的”時,可用such+little+名詞。
7.be able to 為“能,會”,表示能力,在這個意義上與can的意思相同,一般情況下兩者可以互換,但can只有現(xiàn)在式和過去式(could)而be able to則用于更多的時態(tài),主要體現(xiàn)在be的變化。
兩者在用法上有一些差異:can (could)表示主觀能力不表示意愿,它的將來時用will be able to而 be able to表示主觀意愿強(qiáng)調(diào)克服困難做某事?!局攸c語法】
一般將來時
表示將要發(fā)生的動作或存在的狀態(tài)。本時態(tài)標(biāo)志詞:
1.含tomorrow; next短語; 2.in+段時間 ; 3.how soon;
4.by+將來時間; 5.by the time sb.do… 6.祈使句句型中:or/and sb. will do
例Be quick, or you will be late=If you don’t be quick, you will be late
7.在時間/條件狀語從句中, 如果從句用一般現(xiàn)在時, 主句用將來時 8.another day
比較be going to 與will:
be going to 表示近期、眼下就要發(fā)生的事情,will 表示的將來時間則較遠(yuǎn)一些。
如: He is going to write a letter tonight. He will write a book one day.
2. be going to 表示根據(jù)主觀判斷將來肯定發(fā)生的事情,will表示客觀上將來勢必發(fā)生的事情。
He is seriously ill. He is going to die. He will be twenty years old.
3. be going to 含有“計劃,準(zhǔn)備”的意思,而 will 則沒有這個意思,如:
She is going to lend us her book. He will be here in half an hour.
4.在有條件從句的主句中,一般不用 be going to, 而多用will, 如:
If any beasts comes at you, I'll stay with you and help you.
掌握了它們的這些不同,你就能很好的區(qū)分be going to與will了。
be going to do (動詞原形)結(jié)構(gòu):表示打算、準(zhǔn)備做的事情或者肯定要發(fā)生的事情。如:It is going to rain.
will do 結(jié)構(gòu)表示將來的用法:
1. 表示預(yù)見
Do you think it will rain?
You will feel better after a good rest.
2. 表示意圖
I will borrow a book from our school library tomorrow.
What will she do tomorrow?
基本構(gòu)成如下:
一般疑問句構(gòu)成:
(1)will+主語+do…? Will Sarah come to visit me next Sunday?
(2)there be 結(jié)構(gòu)的一般疑問句:Will there + be …?
Will there be fewer trees? Yes, there will. / No, there won’t
否定句構(gòu)成:will + not (won’t)+do
Sarah won’t come to visit me next Sunday.
特殊疑問句構(gòu)成:
特殊疑問詞+will+主語+…?What will Sarah do next Sunday?
根據(jù)例句,用will改寫下列各句
例:I don’t feel well today. (be better tomorrow) I’ll be better tomorrow.
1. Gina has six classes today. (have a lot of homework tonight)
_____________________________
2. I’m tired now. (sleep later)

It is different from that in other areas of China. If you are the first time to come to Hongkong, you must look to the right side and then the left before you cross the street.?If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then people on foot can cross the road carefully. But if the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustn't cross.?When people go to or come from work in the morning and evening, the streets are very busy. Traffic is the most dangerous then, especially for the children.?When you go by bus in Hongkong, you have to be careful, too. You must always remember the traffic moves on the left. So you must be careful. Have a look first, or you will go the wrong way.?In Hongkong, there are many big buses with two floors you can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the view of the whole city① well. It's very interesting.?Notes:1.the view of the whole city 城市的全景Read the passage and mark (T) for True or (F) for False to each statement.( 閱讀短文,判斷正(T)誤(F)。)( )1.The traffic in Hongkong drives on the right.( )2.The traffic in Hongkong is the same as that in other areas of China.( )3.If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go.( )4.You can sit on the first floor and see the view of the whole city.( )5.According to the passage we know we must obey the traffic rules in Hongkong.?(C)Most people in the USA, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada speak English as a first language. However, English is spoken all over the world: it is the main (主要的) language in more than 60 countries, such as India, Singapore and in many of the Caribbean (加勒比) and Pacific (太平洋) islands. In these places English is often a second language.?English is also uesd as an important international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business, and travellers to these countries use English when they get there. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music and watching American films.?English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English if the speakers come or don’t come from those countries. People in Japan or Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans, English will be the most widely used language in the world in the 21st century. This language no longer belongs to only British, American or Australian speakers, It belongs to anyone in the world.

因此,本節(jié)課主要借助多媒體手段,采用視聽法、情景模擬、情感激勵及任務(wù)型教學(xué)等相結(jié)合的方法,導(dǎo)入、練習(xí)、歸納過去進(jìn)行時態(tài)的陳述句與疑問句,通過聽說讀寫等多種語言實踐活動交替進(jìn)行,使學(xué)生認(rèn)識到語言學(xué)習(xí)過程的多樣性。學(xué)生通過自主學(xué)習(xí),角色扮演,實踐體驗,合作與互助等學(xué)習(xí)方式,來掌握本課的知識和技能,從而開發(fā)學(xué)生的思維能力,尊重學(xué)生的個性發(fā)展,使學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)語言的過程同時成為學(xué)生形成積極的情感態(tài)度、主動思維、大膽實踐的過程,使枯燥的語言變得豐富多彩,易于接受。
二、教學(xué)背景分析
(一)教學(xué)內(nèi)容分析
注:含本課時在本單元的教學(xué)定位分析
Unit3以“What were you doing when the UFO arrived”為課題,談?wù)撨^去某一時刻正在發(fā)生的動作或狀態(tài)。如何在各項語言實踐中正確使用過去進(jìn)行時態(tài)是本單元的重、難點。本課是Unit3的第一課時,圍繞著UFO到達(dá)時人物在做什么這一話題展開,主要通過聽說形式讓學(xué)生初步學(xué)習(xí)、應(yīng)用過去進(jìn)行時態(tài),讓學(xué)生能使用這一時態(tài)表述在過去某一時刻正在發(fā)生的事情或狀態(tài),從而為本單元接下來的語言教學(xué)打下基礎(chǔ)。本課教學(xué)內(nèi)容容易激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)興趣,并貼近生活實際,易于引發(fā)學(xué)生使用目標(biāo)語言進(jìn)行簡單的交際與交流。在學(xué)習(xí)活動中,通過觀察圖片、情景思維、倆倆對話,角色扮演等形式,使學(xué)生能夠自主學(xué)習(xí),合作交流,完成任務(wù),培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的語言綜合運(yùn)用能力和實踐能力。
(二)學(xué)生情況分析
本課的主要目標(biāo)是學(xué)習(xí)掌握過去進(jìn)行時態(tài)的陳述句和疑問句,學(xué)會描述過去正在發(fā)生的事情或狀態(tài),它是在學(xué)生已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)了現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時態(tài)和一般過去時態(tài)的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行的。對于八年級的學(xué)生來說,他們已經(jīng)有了一定的詞匯量,特別是對要用到的一些動詞,大部分學(xué)生有了一定的基礎(chǔ),這樣便于教學(xué)內(nèi)容的突破。教材選編了富有科普意義的UFO作為話題的引入,能激發(fā)學(xué)生的好奇心和學(xué)習(xí)興趣。所以對于本課的學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容,學(xué)生應(yīng)該能較為輕松地掌握。
三、教學(xué)目標(biāo)分析
(一)知識與技能目標(biāo)

(二)過程與方法目標(biāo)

(四) 情感與價值目標(biāo)
通過創(chuàng)設(shè)新聞播報、抓兇手等情境,激發(fā)學(xué)生的興趣,使他們親身感受和體驗語言,學(xué)以致用,培養(yǎng)他們自主學(xué)習(xí)、合作學(xué)習(xí)、善于學(xué)習(xí)的習(xí)慣,并讓他們在實踐中體驗成功。
四、教學(xué)重點、難點分析

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children――like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents――seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
Our mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to do before we can keep a picture forever(永遠(yuǎn)) in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
1. We usually begin to learn our own language by______ it.
A. speaking B. hearing C. saying D. teaching
2. If you have a good______, you’ll have less difficulty in learning something.

Peter lay on the ground for a few minutes, and when he came back to life(3), he asked, “Where am I?” An old man was selling maps at the side of the street, and he at once ran to Peter and said, “Map of city, sir?”

Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth. But when you use the phone, you can’t see the person you are talking with. But that may change even tomorrow morning.
Perhaps you have already heard of a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone. With it, two people who are talking can see each other.
Picture phones can be useful when you have something to show the person you’re calling. They may have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a library and ask to see a book. Then you’ll be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping through your picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you want to buy, you’ll go to your phone and call the shop. People at the shop will show you the thing you’re interested in right over the phone. You’ll be able to shop all over the town and never leave your room!
1. Today people can use the phone to talk with others ____ .
A. in all the towns B. in some places in the world
C. only in big cities D. almost anywhere on the earth
2. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph means ____ .
A. the picture phone B. any phone
C. the use D. the change

I guess that I will work in ten years, but I don’t know what job I will have. Maybe a reporter or a singer? But I can tell you what I’ll do next week――celebrate my birthday with my friends. I’m too busy enjoying my life now to worry about the future!
There’s one thing I really want to do. That is to travel around the world. I hope I will live somewhere different in ten years. Somewhere really interesting like Australia, or even Japan――who knows? I’d like to be a teacher and I’ll probably teach English after leaving college.
I’m not really sure about the future. I know that I’m going to go to college and I also think that I will get married(結(jié)婚) sometime in ten years. I’d like to have a family and I want to have an interesting job as well. I’m interested in writing, so I’ll probably work as a writer.

Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student. I have something to talk with you. In my school, many students have mobile phones(手機(jī)). They think it’s cool to have a mobile phone. Really the phones come in fun colors and let students talk with their parents and friends at any time. But I don’t think it’s good for students to use them at school.

And my father tells me that most mobile phones can cause(引起) health problems. Could you do something to stop it?

My name is Zhao Min. I am a middle school student. I have a lot of problems recently. First, I’m not happy in class. I’m so shy that I’m afraid of speaking in class. Second, I argued with my best friend. I’m very worried because I have few friends. I don’t want to lose her. Third, I feel nervous as the mid-term exams are coming. And even I can’t sleep well at night.
Yesterday, my mother took me to the doctor. I told the doctor my problems and he gave me some advice. He asked me to make more friends and play games in my free time, so that I’m not so shy. He also said, “If you don’t want to lose your best friend, you should talk with her. Tell her what you think and you will be the best friends again.” Because I can’t sleep well, he asked me to eat some foods good for sleep. And he asked me to relax. I’m trying to follow his advice.

Ⅶ. One possible version:
Life in fifty years will be different from life today. Many changes will take place. But what will the changes be?
People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. More people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. There will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier than now.
Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.

Dear Wang Min,
How are you? I’m sorry to know that you failed your English test again. I know you work hard. Don’t worry about it. Remember: Failure is the mother of success. Maybe you should tell your parents about it and they can also help you.
Now I will tell you something about how to study English. I hope it will help you.
1. You should work hard in class. Listen carefully, use your head, ask and answer questions, work with your partners, do your homework carefully and so on.
2. You should do more listening, speaking, reading and writing.
3. It is good to think in English.
