初三 Unit Three
一、教法建议
【抛砖引玉】
1．教学有关谈论学习（Talking about studies）的用语
本单元教学了What does…mean? What do you mean by…? Will you please say it again more slowly?
I find it very difficult. 有关学习的日常交际用语。教材提供了运用这些
用语的情景。要使学生掌握这些用语，最有效的方法莫过于课堂教学中的实际应用。
实际上，这也是一种启发学生积极思考，引导他们英语思维的过程。适时鼓励学生
创造性发问，是素质教育的要求。
2．教学表示同意和不同意（Expressing agreement and disagreement）的用语本单元通过谈论学习，表达个人意见──难易、兴趣等等（同意或不同意）。但在教课时，应创造性地引入不同的语言情境。如：四季（Four seasons）、运动（Sports）、饮食（Food）、服饰（Clothing）等等，调动全体学习的言语兴趣，发散思维开阔思路，使语言真正用于交际。
【指点迷津】
本单元的难点是句型as…as, not as (so) …as的教学
对于这种句型的教授最好采用比较法──实物比较、人物比较和幻灯（或图片）比较。这些灵活多样的大量实践，可以激发学生思维兴趣，使他们集中地迅速掌握新句型。如用图片显示三个编号不同的教室，其中两间一样大，一间稍小一点，进行比较，演示下面的句子：
No. 1 Classroom is as big as No. 2.
No. 3 Classroom isn‘t as big as the other two.
几组演示后，帮助学生分析出：表示甲和乙在某一方面程度相同时，用as…as；表示甲在某一方面不及乙时，用not as…as或not so…as。这里的形容词或副词都有原级，不用比较级。
二、学法导航
【学法指要】
本单元的重点和难点在于句型as…as; not as (so) …as（以及与比较相关的句型和若干词及交际语言的用法）。
1．Beijing is in the world.
A. one of the biggest city B. one of the biggest cities
C. one of the bigger city D. one of the bigger cities
【提示】答案B。本题考查两点：1. one of…译作"其中之一"，介词of后面所跟的名词必须用复数形式(即整体之中的一个)。2."the+最高级"表示"最……"(副词前the可省略)。综合两者，"最大的城市之一"应选择B。
2．Our classroom is as yours.
A. so bigger B. as bigger C. so big D. as big
【提示】答案：D。本题强化句型：甲与乙在某一程度上相同用"as+形容词或副词的原形+as"。另外，本题不是否定句，因此不能用"so"。所以应选B。
3．I think Chinese is more popular than .
A. any other subjects B. any of the other subject
C. any other subject D. any of other subjects
【提示】答案C。本题重点在于结构："any other+复数名词"表示同一类物体或人的
其它任何一个；"any of the other+复数句词"表示同一类物体或人，除提到的一个外，
所有剩下的其中之一。因而选择C。
4．Will you please on the blackboard?
A. not write B. to not write C. not to write D. don’t write
【提示】答案A。本题测试表示委婉请示的句型：Will / Would you please (not) do…?
（否定句在please后直接加not）因而选A。
5．All the students went to the zoo Lin Tao. Because he was ill in bed.
A. expect B. with C. besides D. and
【提示】答案A。本题根据后一句的暗示可知，Lin Tao没有与大家一同去动物园，所以，B和C无法选择。而except是"除……之外"（不再有，不算在内）的意思；besides有"除……之外"（还有，算在整体内）之意。所以，据题意，应选A。
【妙文赏析】
一篇好的文章不仅是汲取知识的土壤，更会给人以理性的启示。请欣赏下面的文章：阅读理解，正（T）误（F）。
One day a rich man met Sam. The rich man asked, "I hear you are very clever
and nothing is difficult to you. Can you tell me why you are so clever?"
Sam answered with a smile, "Oh, I am not clever. Instead, you are too silly."
"The rich man became very angry."
Sam said, "Master, please don‘t be angry. If you don’t believe what I said,
now let me ask you a question. If you have a group of sheep, I sent you another
group. Then, how many groups of sheep do you have?" "Alas!" "That‘s the easiest
question in the world. One plus one is two. Anybody knows that.
I have two groups of sheep."
Sam laughed and said, "You are wrong, master. Two groups of sheep put
together is still one group. That is the easiest question in the world."
（ ）1. The rich man is much sillier than Sam.
（ ）2. Sam’s words made the rich man glad.
（ ）3. All people know one plus one is two.
（ ）4. One group of sheep plus one group of sheep is two groups of sheep.
（ ）5. The rich man‘s answer to Sam’s question is wrong.
本文是一篇幽默故事，到底the rich man和Sam谁更聪明呢？暗示就在Sam的回答中。
【思维体操】
培养学习的创造性思维是素质教育的中心，而语言的知识性和交际性的有机结合，正是现代语言灵活多变的体现。

【动脑动手】
Ⅰ．用所给词的适当形式填空
1. We’ll go out if it is tomorrow. (sun)
答案是：sunny。提干中，it is提示此处是"系表结构"，后面需要一个形容词，因此将sun转换成sunny，由名词变成了形容词。
2. My sister is feeling much today. (bad)
答案是：worse。提干中much提示其后面需要比较级，同时feel是半系词，需加形容词作表语。因此，此处只需要bad的比较级worse.
Ⅱ．根据句意填空，一空一词
1. The month of the year is December.
答案是：twelfth. 提干中the和December (12) 提示我们使用12的序数词或形容词last。但由于本题数字概念比较明确，因此，twelfth这个答案最佳。
2. September 10th is Day!
答案是：Teachers‘。提干中的日期提示，此处在考察节日的写法──分别大写这两个词的词首。另外，教师节是所有老师的节日，所有使用s’，而不是‘s。
Ⅲ．选择填空
（ ）1. Jim can play football as as you can.
A. good B. well C. better D. best
答案是：B。根据提干中提示，重点考察as…as的原级比较──两者中间使用原级；play football这一动词短语需用副词来修饰，因此，使用"good"的副词原形well。
（ ）2. Her mother told her in bed.
A. not read B. not to read C. don’t read D. to not read
答案是：B。提干中told (tell) 提示本题考查动词不定式的否定形式──not to do。因此，选择not to read。
