section A 2d
Jill: What are you doing this weekend, Scott?
Scott: Not much. I suppose I will just listen to this new CD I bought. Jill: Oh, what CD is this?
Scott: Well, it's all music. There's no singing. I like smooth music that helps me relax after a long week at work.
Jill: Sounds nice. Well, if you have spare time, do you want to watch a movie with me? The director is really famous.
Scott: Hmm, depends which movie. I only like movies that are funny. I just want to laugh and not think too much. You know what I mean?
Jill: Oh, in that case, I will ask someone who like serious movies. Scott: What's the movie about?
Jill: It's about World War two. I prefer movies that give me something to think about.
3a
What do you feel like watching today?
While some people stick to only one kind of movie, I like to watch different kinds depending on how I feel that day.
When I'm down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer me up. Comedies
like Men in Black or cartoons like Kung Fu Panda have funny dialogs and usually have a happy ending. The characters may not be perfect, but they try their best to solve their problems. After watching them, the problems suddenly seem less serious and I feel much better again. Laughing for two hours is a good way to relax.
I don't want dramas of documentaries when I'm sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me feel even sadder. Documentaries like March of the Penguins, which provide plenty of Information about a certain subject can be interesting, but when I'm tired, I don't want to think too much. I don't mind action movies like Spider-Man when I'm too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy watching an exciting superhero who always saves the world just in time.
Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are scary. They can be fine, but I'm too scared to watch them alone. I always bring a friend who isn't afraid of these kinds of movies, and it doesn't feel so scary anymore.
section B 2b
Read the passage and answer to questions.
1. Which musician does the passage mainly talk about.
2. What is the name of his most famous piece of music?
3. How does the writer feel about this piece of music?
Sad but beautiful
Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The peers had a simple name，Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Sencond Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue and I began to understand the sadness in the music.
The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing's Father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing's life grew worse. He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years.
Abing's amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day. Today, Abing's Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China's national treasures. It's sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing's own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own sad or painful experiences.

九年级英语人教版unit 9 说课稿 各位评委老师，大家好！ 今天我说课的题目是初中英语九年级“unit 10 by the time i got outside,the bus had already left”，整个说课我将分五部分进行讲述，即教材分析、教法、学法、教学程序、板书设计。 一、说教材 本单元主要围绕“april fool’s day”为话题，谈论发生在过去的事情，培养学生对发生的事情进行客观评价的能力，并学习自主解决问题的能力;通过讨论“发生在过去的事情”这个话题，学习过去完成时的构成和基本用法以及现在完成时和过去完成时的区别。而本课是本单元的第一课，初步接触过去完成时，并且过去完成时是英语中非常重要的一种时态，占据着相当重要的位置。 根据英语教学大纲的要求，我确定以下教学目标： teaching aims: knowledge objects（:知识目标） 1 new words and phrases:by the time,gotten,oversleep,got outside,start doing.; 2 target language: by the time i got outside,the bus had already left. by the time she got up,her brother had already gone into the bathroom. ability objects:（能力目标） 1 train the students’listening and speaking skills with the target language 2 train the students to narrate the past events with the past perfect tense 3 train the students’writing skills with target language moral objects:（道德目标） it’s a good habit to go to bed early in the evening and get up early in the morning.so you’ll never be in a hurry in the morning.also the whole day’s work depends on the plan in the morning. teaching key points（教学重点） 1 master the words：by the time,oversleep 2 master the target language by the time i got outside,the bus had already left. by the time she got up,her brother had already gone into the bathroom teaching difficult points（教学难点） 1 train the students to understand the listening material. 2 train the students to narrate past events with the past perfect tense 二、说教法 1．英语学习的目的重在更好地运用语言于实际的交流之中，单调地重复课文内容或机械地操练吸引不了我们的学生。为达到交流的目的，我采用情境教学法、直观教学法，

Unit1 How can we become good learners? Section A 2d -----安妮，我有点紧张，我必须读完一本书，以便下周一作报告。 -----听起来不太糟糕。 -----但我是一个读书很慢的人。 -----一开始只管快速阅读获取文章大意就好了，不要逐字逐句的读，按词组阅读。 ----但我很多单词都不懂，我不得不用字典。 ----尽量通过阅读上下文来猜测单词的意思，可能你知道的比你预象的要多。 ----那听起来很难! ----哦，耐心点，这得花时间。你可以每天通过阅读你喜欢的东西得到提高。你读得越多，你(阅读的速度)就越快。 Section A 3a 我是如何学会学习英语的 去年，我不喜欢我的英语课。每节课像是一个噩梦。老师说的太快以至于我大多数时候都听不太懂。因为我糟糕的发音，我害怕问问题。我只是躲在我的课本后面，从来不说一句话。 后来有一天我看了一部叫做《玩具总动员》的英语电影。我爱上了这部既激动人心又滑稽有趣的电影！就这样我也开始看其他的英文电影。虽然我无法听懂那些角色所说的全部内容，但他们的肢体语言和面部表情帮助我理解了意思。我也意识到我可以通过只听关键词来理解意思。通过听英文电影中的对话，我的发音也变的更好了。我发现听一些有趣的内容是学习语言的秘诀。我还学到了一些有用的句子比如“这简直是小菜一碟”或者“你活该”。我起初不理解这些句子，但是因为我想理解这个故事，所以我查了字典。 现在我真的喜欢我的英语课。我想学习生词和更多的语法，那样我对英语电影就能有更好的理解了。 Section B 2b 怎么成为一个成功的学习者呢? 每个人天生就拥有学习的能力。但是你能否学习的好取决于你的学习习惯。研究显示成功的学习者有一些共同的好习惯。 1.培养他们对所学东西的兴趣 研究显示，如果你对某事物感兴趣，你的大脑会更活跃而且对你来说长时间地关注那个事物也容易些。善于学习的人经常把他们需要学的事物与一些有趣的事物联系起来。比如，如果他们需要学习英语而且他们喜欢音乐或者体育，他们就可以听英文歌曲或者看英文版的体育节目。这样他们就不会感到乏味了。 2.练习并从错误中学习 善于学习的人思考他们擅长什么以及他们需要更多的练习什么。记住：“不用即失”。即使你学某事物学的很好，如果你不使用你会忘记它。“熟能生巧”。善于学习的人会一直练
