This unit is about history and traditions. From the opening page, we can know that this unit will introduce the history and traditions around the world. As Marcus Garvey says “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”, it is important for students to realize the importance and value of knowing the history and traditions and their further meanings. And this part ( listening and speaking ) is divided into two parts: Part A---share views on historic sites, Part B ---talk about a visit to a historic tourist destination. By talking with a foreigner, the speakers introduce the historic attractions and their cultures. Part A is that William, a British student, who was going to visit the Confucius Temple and a Chinese student, Xiao Kong, who was going to the Confucius Temple to meet with the members of the research group, went together and exchanged their views on the Confucius Temple, Confucius, Confucius' descendants and Confucius' educational thoughts. Part B is a conversation between Xiao Yan, a youth hostel receptionist and Paul, a backpacker about the feelings and experience after visiting the Chinese famous tourist attraction Pingyao.1. Guide students to understand the content of listening texts in terms of the whole and key details; 2.

1.生產(chǎn)上的聯(lián)系:有投入——產(chǎn)出的關(guān)系工業(yè)生產(chǎn)的過程復雜,工序繁多,往往需要經(jīng)過多家工廠的加工才能完成一種產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)過程。因此,在這些工廠之間就存在著產(chǎn)品與原料的聯(lián)系。一家工廠生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品是另一家工廠的原料,這兩家工廠之間就形成了工序上的工業(yè)聯(lián)系。2.非生產(chǎn)上的聯(lián)系:如地理空間上的聯(lián)系布局在同一個工業(yè)區(qū)內(nèi),共同利用工業(yè)區(qū)的道路、供水、供電、通信等基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施以及其他生產(chǎn)、生活服務(wù)設(shè)施,或者共同利用當?shù)亓畠r的勞動力,形成了空間利用上的工業(yè)聯(lián)系。我國許多地方的經(jīng)濟技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)就是建立在這種工業(yè)聯(lián)系基礎(chǔ)上的。(二)工業(yè)集聚1.形成具有工業(yè)聯(lián)系的一些工廠往往近距離地聚集起來,形成工業(yè)集聚現(xiàn)象。2.工業(yè)集聚可獲得效應(yīng)(1)工業(yè)集聚可以加強企業(yè)間的信息交流和技術(shù)協(xié)作,降低中間產(chǎn)品的運輸費用和能源消耗,進而降低生產(chǎn)成本,提高生產(chǎn)效率和利潤,取得規(guī)模效益。
巴金在十年浩劫中的大致經(jīng)歷:放棄包弟并沒有換得保全一家人,1968年8月,巴金被關(guān)進牛棚改造,隨后經(jīng)受了大字報、掛牌游街等形式的批斗。1970年,到農(nóng)村改造,掏大糞、喂豬、背稻草、種地……1972年,妻子蕭珊在飽受精神折磨后患上癌癥,病逝。巴金的兒子在勞動改造的過程中也飽受精神和肉體上的折磨,性格變得內(nèi)向抑郁,疾病纏身。此時,巴金69歲。巴金曾在《病中》一文寫道:“當姚文元拿著棒子的時候,我給關(guān)在牛棚里除了唯唯諾諾之外,敢于做過什么事情?十年間我不過是一條含著眼淚等人宰割的牛?!毙〗Y(jié):(幻燈片12)社會是病態(tài)的社會,政治是高壓的政治,人性是扭曲的人性。十年文革,十年浩劫,給多少人留下了累累不可彌合的精神創(chuàng)傷。即使一條小狗,也可能擺脫不了“文革”無情的迫害,比如包弟,比如藝術(shù)家鄰居的小狗。
(1)主人公大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾:大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾是《大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾》中的主人公,曾經(jīng)是個孤兒。作家描寫了他從孤兒成長為一個具有人道主義精神的資產(chǎn)階級民主主義作家的過程。他善良,誠摯,聰明,勤奮好學,有自強不息的勇氣、百折不回的毅力和積極進取的精神,在逆境中滿懷信心,在順境中加倍努力,終于獲得了事業(yè)上的成功和家庭的幸福。在這個人物身上寄托著狄更斯的道德理想。(2)《大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾》中的女性形象:在狄更斯筆下,《大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾》塑造了一個個有血有肉的人物形象,每個任務(wù)都給人留下了深刻的印象,尤其是成功塑造了不同性格、不同品德的女性形象:貝西姨婆、艾妮斯、佩葛蒂、克拉拉、朵拉、摩德斯通小姐、米考伯太太、艾米麗……貝西姨婆與摩德斯通小姐的對比,克拉拉、朵拉與艾妮斯的對比更使她們栩栩如生,對貝西姨婆、艾妮斯、佩葛蒂的愛就更深一層,對摩德斯通小姐更是恨之入骨,對朵拉、克拉拉既同情又氣憤。
【教學意圖】要了解中國傳統(tǒng)文化,必須閱讀古詩文名著名篇。但在中國文化形成過程中影響最大的是什么?可以說是儒家學說,包括《論語》這部經(jīng)典?!墩撜Z》等書是讀書人求仕做官的必修課本,是知識分子的思想言行基礎(chǔ),而且影響到整個社會生活,內(nèi)容包括倫理道德、教育體制、民間習俗等方面的思想。因此,要了解中國傳統(tǒng)文化,有必要讀一讀《論語》?!窘虒W設(shè)計】因《論語》的年代已久遠,對學生而言,要理解透徹文句是比較深奧困難的,因此必須在充分理解文意的基礎(chǔ)上,對《論語》進行思想上的解讀??捎山處煆摹墩撜Z》中概括出幾點與生活、現(xiàn)實相關(guān)的要點,要求學生分組進行透徹的學習和領(lǐng)會,如“小人與君子”、“學習的方法”、“教育的理念”等等?!冀虒W重點、難點〗讀《論語》知儒家思想?!冀虒W方法〗講解啟發(fā)、探究梳理、拓展延伸。

請問,作者究竟聽到歌聲沒有?”學生回答:“沒有?!薄斑@里是比喻,因為這里用得是‘仿佛’一詞……”對,是比喻。也就是說,作者是用歌聲來比喻荷香,是吧?“但是,“荷香與歌聲有什么可比的共同點嗎?”“荷香與歌聲都是斷斷續(xù)續(xù)、若有若無的?!薄岸译鼥V朧的。”“對。“荷香和歌聲都是‘縷縷’的、‘渺?!摹_@是比喻。這是一種特殊的比喻,錢鐘書先生把它叫做‘通感’。人們通過視覺、聽覺、觸覺、味覺、嗅覺等五官感知外界事物時,在一般情況下,彼此不能交錯;但在特殊情況下,五官功能卻能出現(xiàn)互相轉(zhuǎn)化、彼此溝通的現(xiàn)象叫“通感”,也叫“移覺”。舉幾個例子來說明:詩人艾青曾寫詩這樣描繪日本著名指揮家小澤征爾:‘你的耳朵在偵察,你的眼睛在傾聽……’這也是通感。又如:“那笛聲里有故鄉(xiāng)綠色平原上青草的香味,有四月的龍眼花的香味,有太陽的光明。”(郭風《葉笛》)
三、指導第一段的背誦,點撥理解句意,強調(diào)關(guān)鍵詞語,注重文言基礎(chǔ)知識教學。過程中要讓學生反復讀背。背誦線索:時間——地點——事件——人物——環(huán)境——活動——天氣——感覺。時間:永和九年,歲在癸丑,暮春之初。地點:會于會稽山陰之蘭亭。事件:修稧事也。人物:群賢畢至,少長咸集。環(huán)境:此地有崇山峻嶺,茂林修竹;又有清流激湍,映帶左右?;顒樱阂詾榱饔x曲水,列坐其次。雖無絲竹管弦之盛,一觴一詠,亦足以暢敘幽情。天氣:是日也,天朗氣清,惠風和暢。感覺:仰觀宇宙之大,俯察品類之盛,所以極視聽之娛,信可樂也。四、學生自讀背誦5分鐘。五、抽一至二名學生試背課文,教師可作必要的線索提示。第二課時一、聽名家示范朗誦,學生小聲跟讀。二、復習鞏固第一自然段的閱讀背誦。三、朗讀、解析第二自然段,理解文章“由敘入感”的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)。
結(jié)合歷史自古以來,江山美人歷來都是引無數(shù)英雄豪杰競折腰的,如果說英雄選擇了美人卻丟了江山,把所有罪名都歸結(jié)于“女人是禍水”。但是,紂王無道,和有了妲己有必然的聯(lián)系嗎?有人說妲己壞透了,壞透了的妲己如果不是取得紂王的信任是壞不起來的,紂王聽信了妲己的讒言,聽與不聽決定權(quán)在紂王,而不在妲己。強勢永遠在紂王一邊。再來看看西施和楊貴妃:西施是作為越國貢獻給吳國的供品來到吳王夫差的身邊的,楊貴妃更是先是李隆基的兒媳婦被看中而得寵的。所以,西施和楊貴妃這兩個可憐的女人根本沒有自己的獨立選擇,沒有獨立的愛情,如果沒有西施,就會有南施,或北施;如果沒有楊貴妃,就會有李貴妃,王貴妃,總之什么施,什么妃是不能少的,因為那是吳王和李隆基的需要。
【明確】“一夫當關(guān),萬夫莫開”言劍閣有易守難攻的險要形勢,暗示中央朝廷的部隊很不容易打進來,因而野心家可以據(jù)險發(fā)動叛亂,“化為狼與豺”,搞地方割據(jù)。如果割據(jù)勢力之間出現(xiàn)矛盾沖突,難免要發(fā)生混戰(zhàn),結(jié)果必定是“殺人如麻”。詩人這番預言在十多年后就得到了證實:從上元二年到大歷初即有段子璋、徐知道、崔旰等人相繼發(fā)動叛亂。詩人的意圖是要嚴防野心家發(fā)難。詩人從劍閣的險要引出對政治形勢的描寫。他化用西晉張載《劍閣銘》中形勝之地,匪親勿居的語句,目的在于勸人引以為鑒戒,警惕戰(zhàn)亂的發(fā)生,并聯(lián)系當時的社會背景,揭露了蜀中豺狼的磨牙吮血,殺人如麻,這既是描寫蜀道猛獸,又是影射政治黑暗的雙關(guān)語句,表達了對國事的憂慮與關(guān)切,為詩篇增加了現(xiàn)實的內(nèi)涵、深厚的意蘊。唐天寶初年,太平景象背后正潛伏著危機,后來發(fā)生的安史之亂,證明詩人的憂慮是有現(xiàn)實意義的。
