Unit 4 Sharing
教材分析和教材重组
教材分析
本单元的重点话题是帮助弱者、志愿服务、合作共享等。通过听、说、读、写等活动不仅学习有关的语言知识,还要培养学生的社会责任感。
1. Warming Up部分是一个调查。该活动分三步进行:首先回顾自己曾经做过的助人为乐的好事,并采访三位同学;然后,根据调查内容列举班上同学所做的好事;最后讨论volunteer一词的内涵。该部分的讨论可以和中学生参与的“志愿者活动”、“手拉手活动”、“献爱心活动”等联系起来。
2. Pre-reading部分交代了阅读文章的文体(1etter)和作者(a young Australian woman,Jo)。阅读中提供了十幅图片,阅览这些图片有助于学生理解这封书信的内容,因此,“读前”部分针对阅读中的图片设计了五个问题,回答这些问题有助于学生加深理解,“志愿者活动”的意义。
3. Reading部分是一封家书。作者志愿在巴布亚新几内亚(Papua New Guinea)的一个小山村教书。在她写给Rosemary的信中,作者描述了该村学校的情况和去一学生家做客的经历。
4. Comprehending部分设置了两组问题。第一个练习为小组讨论题,这些问题首先要求学生读懂书信内容,用表格的形式帮助学生整理书信中提到的信息,然后要求学生联系自己的实际,比较校舍、教学条件、生活状况等,并引发学生思考,谈谈是否愿意参加志愿者活动。第二个练习要求学生对文中提到的五个现象进行分析,说明其原因。第三个练习要学生通过阅读分析小山村中的积极和消极面。这些均属深层思考题。
5. Learning about Language部分引导学生学习词汇和语法。词汇部分设置了两个练习,一是根据所给解释从课文中选择词汇;二是用课文中的词汇完成一篇短文。语法部分复习定语从句,也设置了两个练习,一是用定语从句完成句子,二是用含定语从句的句子回答问题。
6. Using Language部分由阅读与讨论、听与说和写三个部分组成,综合训练听说读写的能力。

V. Writing a letter of your own.
Now you are to write a similar letter based on the topic, the words and the structures of the letter on page 29.
A Letter to my teacher
Dear Ms Xu Fang,
Thanks for your letter. It was wonderful to hear from you. I know you’re dying to hear all about my life here in the United States. I’ve included some photos that will help you picture the life I talk about.
You asked about my university. Well, it’s a nice one – the classrooms are big and clean and the computers are available to everyone. It takes me only a few minutes to drive to my university. When I reach the university campus there are lots of “Nihaos” for me from my schoolmates, many of whom have lived in China.
There’s enough electricity and water and we have lots of books to read and read. I have already adapted to the conditions here. And one thing is for sure. I’ve become a lot more independent in my studies. English is my most challenging subject as there is no Chinese in the classroom and if I need help I have to ask for it in English! The other day I was attending my chemistry lesson a professor with Russian accent came to me – before I knew it, asking why I got the test tubes upside down! I had never come across any strange-sounding teachers like this and started getting more and more nervous. Sometimes I wonder how understandable my English is to the teachers and native classmates, most of whom speak so fast to me and to each other. In fact, I wonder whether I’m making any progress in my English.
You asked whether I am getting to know any local people. Well, that’s actually quite difficult, as I don’t speak much local English yet. But last weekend another foreign student, Halanin, and I did made friends with a native schoolmate who is the chairperson of the Helping Club. He is Rubby, by name. It was my first friendship with a native schoolmate. We talked for two and a half hours about lives in China and America. When we departed at the supper time, Rubby, who had been learning Chinese in his spare time, started shouting “Huijian”. We shook hands with him. Everyone seemed to be happy and excited.

VI. Closing down by reading more on voluntary work
My Experience as a Volunteer Teacher
Author: Susansun
"Susan, I'll miss you, don't forget me," a girl wrote to me on the first page of a notebook. The notebook was a collection of the lyrics of her favorite songs. It was a present given by one of my students when I attended the 'Go-to-the-countryside' program last summer holiday. Every time I open the notebook, it brings back fond memories.
Last summer vacation, for the purpose of serving society and meeting other social communities, nine of my classmates, including me, formed a group as a service team heading for GaoTan Middle School, which is in the remote mountain area of Guangdong Province.
We spent one week there, mainly teaching the students English, as planned. We had known ahead of time that their English was inferior to their counterparts' in the city. And what was worse, they didn't like learning English. So we came up with a logo and carefully chose four topics for our students. The logo was: I'm not shy, I can speak English loudly." The four topics were: my dream, my family, my hometown and what a wonderful world. We intended to inspire their interest of learning English and help them build the confidence of speaking English out loudly. We exerted ourselves to create a very active and relaxed atmosphere while teaching. In addition, the topics were suitable for us to communicate with them and build up a good relationship.
At the beginning of each class, our students were asked to shout out the logo. And it was clear that they were very happy to shout in English. The content of our lessons was closely related to the four topics. We also covered moral education while teaching. In class, we showed great happiness for any progress made, such as a correct pronunciation, a right spelling, a brave answer, etc.
Although the time we spent together was short, we and our students became good friends. When we had to leave them, they gave us lots of little gifts expressing their appreciation of our teaching. The lyrics notebook was the one I liked best.
The 'Go-to-the-countryside' program has been very hot among university students in recent years. Our team was just one in hundreds of teams across the country, and I myself am just one in thousands of volunteer teachers. There is a standard of judging teachers: the mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, the great teacher inspires. I am wondering what category of teachers I belong to. Maybe my future students will have the answer to that question.

限定性定语从句
一、限定性定语从句中关系代词的用法
1.who , whom, that
三者都可修饰人,who作主语,whom作宾语,that既可作主语又可作宾语.
(1)I don’t like people who lose their tempers easily.
我不喜欢爱发脾气的人。
(2)Do you think one should stay faithful to the person (whom) one is married to?
你认为一个人结婚后应该忠实于他的伴侣吗?
(3)The suona horn is the instrument that really excites me.
唢呐是真正使我激动的乐器。
注意:a. 在口语中,who可以代替whom,作宾语,如例2还可用who/that来引导。b. 关系代词在定语从句中作宾语时,一 般可以省略,再如例2中的whom。
2. whose
一个表示所属关系的关系词。可以修饰人,也可修饰物。修饰人时,有时可与of whom换用;修饰物时,有时可与of which换用,whose在定语从句中作定语。
Is there anyone here whose name is Wang Lin? 这儿有个名叫王林的人吗?
I saw some trees whose leaves were black with diseases.(=I saw some trees the leaves of which were black with diseases.) 我看见一些树的叶子因病害而发黑。
3. that, which
二者都可修饰物,在定语从句中可作主语或宾语。
The film (which/that) we saw last night is wonderful. 昨天晚上我们看的那部电影太棒了。
that指物时,一般可和which换用,但在下列情况下,只用that
A. 先行词为all, anything, everything, nothing, something等
I will do all (that) I can to help you.我将尽我所能来帮你。
B. 先行词被序数词、形容词最高级或the only, the very等修饰时
It’s the best film that has ever been made on the subject of madness.
这是以精神病为题材而拍摄的影片中最好的一部。
These are the very books (that) I am looking for.这些书正是我要找的。
C. 先行词既有人又有物时
They talked about the people and the things (that) they remembered in the school.
他们谈到他们所记得的学校中的人和事。
D. 当主句是who或which, what开始的疑问句时,定语从句用that引导。
Who is the boy that was here just now? 刚才在这儿的那个男孩是谁?
E. 当that所代替的先行词在定语从句中作表语时
This is not an easy question that you think it to be. 这个问题不是像你认为的那么容易。
F. 定语从句中动词为there be时,关系代词用that或省略
She has read all the books (that) there are on the bookshelf. 她把书架上所有的书都读完了。
另外,请注意只用的三种情况:
A. 如果句中有两个定语从句,其中一个用了that,另一个最好用which来引导。
Let me show you the novel that I borrow from the library which was newly open to us. 让我给你看看我从新开放的图书馆借来的小说吧。
B. 前面紧接着有介词时
This is the book about which we are talking now.这就是我们正在谈论的那本书。
C. 非限定性定语从句中不用that(例句请见本章V)
4. whom, which
若被修饰的词充当从句介词宾语时,介词可提前到引导词之前。此时的引导词只有用whom或which.
Who is the boy with whom you were talking a moment ago?
你刚才和他谈话的那个男孩是谁?
The book from which I got a lot of useful information was written by a famous scientist.
我从中得到许多有用信息的那本书是一位著名科学家写的。
5. as
引导限定性定语从句时,常用在so, such或the same之后。
Such people as you describe are rare nowadays.像你描述的这种人现在少多了。
I have the same trouble as you. 我的麻烦和你的一样。
Here is so heavy a stone as no man can lift. 这儿有一块无人能搬起的石头。
(试比较:Here is so heavy a stone that no man can lift it. that引导的为结果状语从句)
二、限定性定语从句中关系副词的用法:
1. when
表示时间。在定语从句中作时间状语,其先行词一般是表示时间的名词。
I still remember the day when (on which) I joined the league.
我对我入团的那一天记忆犹新。
注意:有时虽然先行词是表示时间的名词,但定语从句中缺少的是主语或宾语,此时应用关系代词。如:
I still remember the day (which/that) we spent together. 我依然记得我们共同度过的那一天。
2. where
表示地点。在定语从句中作地点状语,其先行词一般为表示地点的名词。
Let’s think of a situation where (in which) this idiom can be used.
咱们来想一个使用这个成语的情境。
注意:where同when一样,在从句中只能充当状语。如果不是状语,就得换用其他的引导词。试比较:
This is the place where we worked last year. 这是我们去年工作过的那个地方。
This is the place (which/that) we visited last year. 这是我们去年参观过的那个地方。
3. why
表示原因。在定语从句中作原因状语,其先行词一般为reason.
The reason why he is late is that he failed to catch the first bus.
他迟到的原因是他没能赶上第一班公共汽车。
试比较:The reason (that/which) he gave us for changing the plan was groundless.
他给我们的改变计划的原因是站不住脚的。
所以,判断是用关系代词或是用关系副词,主要看先行词在从句中的指代作用,即语法成分。
三、限定性定语从句中应注意的几个问题
A. 当先行词为way时,其后的定语从句可用in which, that或不用关系词。
I don’t like the way (不填/in which/that) he talks to me. 我不喜欢他那样跟我讲话。
B. 关系代词在定语从句中做主语时,其人称和数要与先行词保持一致。
He is one of the Canadian scientists who are working in China.他是在中国工作的加拿大科学家之一。
He is the (only) one of the Canadian scientists who speaks Chinese well. 他是唯一一个说汉语好的加拿大科学家。
C. 在考查定语从句时,有时缺少先行词,而不是关系代词,要注意区别。
Is this the museum (that/which) you visited yesterday? 这是不是你昨天参观的那个博物馆。
Is this museum the one you visited yesterday? 这个博物馆是不是你昨天参观的那个?
D. 在以 “It + be”引导的句子中,注意区别强调句与带有定语从句的复合句。试比较以下两组句子:
a. It was at the theatre ____ Lincoln was murdered.
b. It was the theatre ____ Lincoln was murdered.
a. It was on Oct.1st 1949 ____the People’s Republic of China was founded.
b. It was Oct.1st 1949 ____the People’s Republic of China was founded.
以上句子中除a句中有介词at或on外,其余部分完全相同。究竟哪个是强调句,哪个是含有定语从句的复合句呢?最简单的判断方法是去掉It was和连接词(即横线部分)。如果剩余部分仍然是一个完整的句子,则是强调句;否则,空格中所用的引导词及其引导的部分就是定语从句.根据以上原则很容易判断出两组中a句是强调句. 应填that,而b句则是带定语从句的复合句.这两个定语从句分别用关系副词where和when来引导。
E. 凡是进行时态的定语从句可以省略关系代词与动词be,仅用动词的-ing形式便可。
The man (who was) sitting in the corner is my brother. 坐在角落的那个男人是我哥哥。
F. 凡是被动语态的定语从句可以省略关系代词与be动词,仅用动词的过去分词便可。
The goods (which were) ordered last month have not arrived. 上个月订的货还没到达。
I saw a girl (who was) dressed in red. 我看见一个穿红衣服的女孩。

【答案及解析】
【高考链接】
1. C 此题首先分析句子结构,按句意可知是将喝咖啡与不喝咖啡的女性作比较,所以
women和those 后各带一定语从句。根据关系代词在从句中作主语不能省略这一规则,不难判断出选项C为正确答案。
2. D 此题考查介词+关系代词which 引导的定语从句,先行词为direction,代入后面的定语从句为she had come from the direction。故D项正确。
3. D 此题将定语从句置于情景交际中进行考查。先行词point在从句中作insist on的宾语。关系词只能是关系代词。故排除其它三选项。另外关系代词在从句中作宾语可略,故选D。
4. A whose在句中引导定语从句。先行词“house”在从句中“roof”构成所属关系,即the house’s roof。故选关系代词whose。
5. A 此题主要考查point的抽象概念,它既能表示时间,也能表示地点,后面可以接when引导的定语从句,也可以接where引导的定语从句,例如:We had reached the point when there was no money left. (我们曾落到身无分文的地步)Please underline the points where you don’t understand.(把你不懂的地方划下来)。由上例可看出when 和where 与point连用,既能表示具体的时间和地点,也能表示抽象的时间和地点,但是它们的不同在于用where时,侧重指“内容”,所以此题选where 为最佳选项(侧重于指双方都能接受,并愿意坐下来谈的条件)。
6. C 此句实际上考查的是定语从句的先行词(关系代词that的省略)。All (that)在定语从句中作do的宾语。如选D, That只起引导作用,不能作定语从句中的成分,且缺少先行词。答案A与B不合题意。
7. A 因为where代替先行词并在定语从句中作to lose control…的状语。即“在一种难以驾驭飞机的情况下”where相当于in which。
8. C 注意先行词为hours,在定语从句中作状语表时间.如果把主句写作: The film brought back to me the hours就比较容易选择了。
9. D 考查定语从句,先行词an age在从句中做状语。
10. C
11. D which引导定语从句,指代the road map。
12. A 先行词her trousers在从句后与on一起作状语,表地点,所以用关系副词where。
13. C visited后面需要宾语。
14. B 本题考查定语从句和turn to sb.。
15. B 本题考查不定式作定语,“介词+ which+不定式”结构作定语修饰名词shop,与shop相搭配的介词为in。
【巩固练习】
1. B 此题考查定语从句,先行词为point,在此意为“(进展、增进的)阶段;程度”,引导词在从句中作地点状语,所以用where引导。
2. C 此题考查定语从句,先行词a rocky planet指地点,且引导词在从句中作地点状语。
3. B 此题考查定语从句,先行词是the time,引导词在从句中作时间状语。
4. C 此题考查对“such…as…”和“such…that…”的运用。在such…as…这一结构中,as引导定语从句,as是关系代词;而在such…that…这一结构中,that引导结果状语从句。
5. B 此题考查定语从句中关系代词的使用。把先行词some cases代入从句中,相当于:…in these cases drivers obviously knew the traffic rules but…“in these cases”作抽象地点状语,意为“在这些情况下”,故选where。
6. B 此题考查复合句的掌握。在时间状语从句中,一般现在时代替一般将来时,而此句中的从句“the manager will be back from his trip”是一般将来时,依此推断,从句不是时间状语从句,排除A、D。显然,此句为定语从句,代入先行词one more week,在从句中作时间状语,故选when。
7. A 考查定语从句。All(that)they can be = what they can be。
8. D 考查定语从句。先行词moments表示时间,定语从句由关系副词when引导,相当于at which即at the moments。
9. A 先行词websites表示地点,应用关系副词where引导定语从句,相当于on which即on these popular websites.
10. D 11. D 12. A 13. A 14. B 15. B

2. I came across his name on the list.

1. The five C’s in letter writing
Clear: Try not to beat around the bush when letter writing. Every word should come across as something that is understood. The best way to test this is to read what you wrote out loud, in a tape recorder, and play it back to yourself.
Concise: Do not ramble. Try to make your words go straight to the point.
Courteous: Remember that words can come across a lot harsher on paper. It’s best to save arguing to verbal usage, so that you can clear up any misunderstandings.
Correct: Double check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. There is nothing worse than trying to read a letter full of mistakes. It makes the clarity of the written word harder to decipher.
Complete: Make sure that when you bring up a topic, you do not change topics in mid-stream. Make sure that you finish what you have to say before you go on to another topic.
