教材内容分析:
本单元围绕“modern agriculture” 这一主题展开听、说、读、写等一系列教学活动。农业是人类生存和发展的基础,农业的发展也是人类文明发展的一大体现。教材涉及到农业技术的发展和进步,发展和环境问题的矛盾,现代生态农业以及农作物培植的基因工程,中国古代的农业著作等多方面的内容,有着比较强的可挖掘性;同时,在学习本单元的过程中,可以促进英语学科与其他学科之间的相互渗透与联系,使学生的思维能力、想象力、协作和创新能力等综合素质得到发展,同时培育学生的科技人文精神。
“热身”(Warming up:)部分以数据统计图的形式导入本单元的话题。膳食结构的变化引起农业生产的变化---农业产业结构和比例的调整,从而引起生态和自然环境的变化。
“听力(listening)”部分是一篇短文,从正反两方面论述了农业生产与自然环境的关系,体现出人在从事农业生产的过程中的对自然环境的影响和作用。在设计上采用了听选有关信息、判断正误和填充的形式,注重训练对有效信息的捕捉和处理的能力。
“说(speaking)”部分通过开村民大会的方式,使学生进入到十分接近真实生活的活动之中,模拟各种实际生活中的角色,畅所欲言,甚至激烈辩论,从各自的立场去寻求解决的途径。这种活动促使学生进一步巩固所学语言知识,活化所学语言技能,达到真实交流的目的。
“读(reading)” 包含了“读前(pre-reading)”“读(reading)”和“读后(post-reading)”三部分。“读前”部分编者结合八幅极具代表意义的照片设计了三个问题,激活学生已有知识和经验,诱发学生观察、思考、比较传统农业和现代农业,现代农业的利与弊,近百年来农业的发展变化等,使学生进一步熟悉本单元的主要话题,为“读”作好充分的准备;“读”部分以时间的先后为序简要介绍了农业发展的历程,侧重介绍了现代农业的发展和新的成就,其中渗透着人在农业发展中和的作用和影响, 激活学生的科技人文意识。“读后”部分设计了两种练习,第一题以选择题的形式检测学生对课文的理解;第二题是一个开放性的题目,鼓励学生结合想象和其他学科知识,做出决定并解释原因。通过这一任务的完成,不仅切实锻炼和提高学生的语言运用能力,而且加强了学科间的神透,提高了学生的思维能力和创新能力。
“语言学习(language study)”包括两个部分,词汇部分设计了8组动词与同根名词通过后缀-tion的添加与否而互相转化的练习,旨在培养学生对构词法的意识,了解构词规律;语法部分是有关强调句型的示例和练习,从易到难,有利于学生的掌握和实际运用。
“综合能力(integrating skills)”部分是一篇介绍中国古代的农学家贾思勰和他的著作《齐民要术》的文章,主要涉及了他对农作物的种植的一些指导和看法,直到今天对农业生产都是适用的。文后的读写训练中,首先,要学生根据需要完成对信息捕捉和加工的任务;第二个是开放性的任务,要学生为自己的菜园做种植计划。这一任务的设计给学生充分的空间去创造性的运用所学知识,发展语言综合运用的能力,从而达到了在做中学的目的。
“小建议(tips)”部分给出了一些与农时、天气有关的谚语,学生通过对这些谚语的理解和思考,并同中国的类似谚语比较,增强了学习的趣味性,也使他们的文化意识得到的潜移默化的培养和影响。

Teaching plan

Task: The students are to read the statistic graph and discuss the changes that the graph shows
Goals: To cultivate the students’ ability to read and analyze the graph:
To cultivate the student’s’ ability of listening for information
Teaching procedures:
1) In this unit we mainly talk about modern agriculture. What will you think of when you see the word “agriculture”? (Brainstorming)
![]() |
2) Report
You have done some research work in advance to compare different meals in different places at different time. Now each group can give us the report.
Compare the differences among the meals. Surely they show some changes in eating habits.
3) Go to look at the graph in the textbook to find out some statistic information of the changes over the years. Work in groups of four discussing the questions .try to reach a conclusion in each group.
Q1: how are people’s eating habits changing over the years? What do you think this happens?
Q2: how has agricultural produce changed during these years? What do you think caused these changes?
Q3: what effects do you think the changes in eating habits will have on agriculture or nature?
1) Pre-listening
From the questions we discussed we can lean that human being’s eating habits have some effects on agriculture. Agriculture produce should meet the wants of people in the world. As we know agriculture depends much on climate, weather, soil water and some other natural resources. If we changed the structure of agriculture, what do you think will happen to the nature?
Now let’s listen and learn.

You are asked to give a lecture about your experience telling them how you ‘ve worked on the nearly deserted field and become a successful farmer.
Period 2 speaking
Task: the students are to discuss and to reach a conclusion

2. Pre-speaking
Q1. How many first do we Chinese have in the history of agriculture?
Q1.What’s the percentage of the arable land in China?
Q2.What’s the population of China?
You see, we have to feed so many people on so little land. It is really a challenge to us. Over time we have improved our farming techniques. But, since farming is based on land, I think, for a farmer, the most important thing is to make the best use of the land. If a farmer is given an extra piece of land, how happy he will be! How many plans will he create for the valuable land!
3. Speaking--debate
Now, let’s come to a village. The villagers there are so lucky that they have just been given a large piece of land. They all have their own opinions about how to make use of it and they can’t agree with each other. So, a meeting is being held. Together with the village leaders, they have to make a decision. Among them are wheat farmers, sugarcane farmers, local farmers who prefer to grow tees and local farmers who prefer to raise pigs.
Which kind of farmer would you like to be?
Those who choose the same role can get together and form a group of their own. So the whole class can be divided into four groups. Then appoint several students village leaders, who are the fifth group.
Each group prepares their own role cards, discussing the problem. While they are preparing for the debate, they can refer to the material on page 44.
Then a debate can be carried on until they make a good decision in the end.

二.文摘
[21世纪农业的八大变革]
1.由“自然化”向“工厂化”发展:21世纪,将有相当部分的作物、蔬菜、花卉由田间移到温室,再由温室转到可控的的环境室内,走向“工厂化”生产。到那时,农业生产将按市场需要,进行周年播种,全年收获。因此,未来的农业生产将淡化农业生产的地域性、季节 性特点。
2.由“机械化”向“自动化”发展:农业机械化给现代化农业带来了很的活力,特别是在解放劳动力上做出了很大贡献。随着计算机网络和本领高强的机器人将参与农业全程管理并完成各种农活,使农业生产进入自动化时代。
3.由“化学化”向“生物化”发展:现代农普遍使用化肥、农药、除草剂,可谓是“化学时代”,然而这种化学农业对自然资源和生态平衡都带来破坏。随着基因工程等生技术的发展,这种局面正在发生变化,到21世纪,目前的化学农业将被生物农业所取代。
4.由“石油型”向“生态型”发展:“石油农业”在大大刺激了西方国家现代化农业发展的同时,也带来了严重危害。而“生态农业”可以获得生产发展、环境保护、能源的再生产和利用、经济效益等综合效益,因此是21世纪农业可持续发展的必然趋势。
5.由“单向性”向“综合性”发展:综合性农业的特点是:土肥方面它既用有机肥、绿肥、秸杆还田,也配用无机氮、磷、钾肥料;此外,在杂草控制、病虫害防治等方面均科学地综合治理;并且综合农业还应对经济、就业、环境、自然、景观、食品品质及社会福利等方面加以综合考察和安排。
6.由“平面式”相“立体式”发展:21世纪,人均耕地将更少。因此农作物布局方式将由平面向立体发展,其巧妙之处在于利用各类作物在生长过程中的“空间差”和“时间差”,进行错落组合,综合搭配,构成多层次、多功能、多用途的高效生产系统。
7.由“农场式”向“公园式”发展:21世纪,农业将趋向可供观光的公园场所发展,里面不仅有最新的技术管理,更有各种珍贵的动物、植物、花卉以及娱乐场所。
8.由“土地型”向“海洋型”发展:21世纪,人类将进入开发海洋的农业时代。那时,人类不仅在有限的土地上提高生产力,而且把目光投向海洋,从海洋中获取更为丰富的“新型食品”,大力发展“海洋农业”。
