教材分析及教學要求
重點1. 了解古今中外的一些發(fā)明創(chuàng)造的英名字
在本單元，我們將搭乘“科技之光”，了解古今中外的一些發(fā)明創(chuàng)造的故事。我們中國有著悠久的歷史，博大的化，更有許多影響人類進程的里程碑式的發(fā)明創(chuàng)造。說起四大發(fā)明，想必大家都不陌生吧？那么，你知道它們的英名字嗎？
好了，讓我告訴大家。
對了，從左到右，從上往下，分別是火藥（gun powder），指南針( compass )，造紙術( paper making )，印刷術( printing )。
認識了它們的英表達后，是不是學起歷史更加有興致了？是不是更加熱愛我們的祖國了？沒錯！每個發(fā)明創(chuàng)造的背后都有許許多多有趣、辛苦的故事。大家可以通過上網、看書，查到許多這方面的資料，從而豐富我們的視野。

重點2. 被動語態(tài)
什么是被動語態(tài)呢？請先看下面兩個例子：
I open the door. 我打開門。
The door is opened by me. 門被我打開。
哦！原表示某物被某人怎么樣的時候，我們可以用被動語態(tài)表示。那么，被動語態(tài)是怎么構成的呢？
某物 + be 動詞 + 動詞的過去分詞 + by + 某人
1．把主動態(tài)變成被動態(tài)的方法是把動詞to be變成原的主動態(tài)動詞的時態(tài)，再加上主動態(tài)里動詞的過去分詞。
主動態(tài)： Bell invented telephones. 貝爾發(fā)明了電話機。
在這個主動態(tài)句子中，時態(tài)是一般過去時，所以，變成被動態(tài)時，首先要把to be 變成它的一般過去時形式，即：was / were。然后加上主動態(tài)里的動詞的過去分詞形式。于是就變成了：
Telephones were invented by Bell. 電話機被貝爾發(fā)明了。
注意進行時態(tài)的被動態(tài)。這種語態(tài)有時似乎難以使用，因為它要求用to be的現(xiàn)在進行時，這種形式在其他方面用得不多。
主動態(tài)：They are repairing the bridge.
他們正在修橋。
被動態(tài)：The bridge is being repaired by them.
橋正在被他們修理。
2．主、被動時態(tài)對照表：
時態(tài)/動詞形式
主動態(tài)
被動態(tài)
一般現(xiàn)在時
keeps
is kept
現(xiàn)在進行時
is keeping
is being kept
一般過去時
kept
was kept
過去進行時
was keeping
was being kept
現(xiàn)在完成時
has kept
has been kept
過去完成時
had kept
had been kept
一般將時
will keep
will be kept
虛擬語氣
would keep
would be kept
3. 本單元出現(xiàn)的被動語態(tài)
Who was it / were they invented by?
它（它們）是由誰發(fā)明的？
It was / They were invented by … + sb.
它（它們）是由……發(fā)明的。
When was it / were they invented by?
它（它們）是什么時候被發(fā)明出的？
It was / They were invented … + time
它（它們）是……被發(fā)明出的。
What is it / are they used for?
它（它們）有什么用途呢？
It is / They are used for + doing sth.
它（它們）被用……。
任務Ⅱ. 請用下列詞匯編幾組特殊疑問句。（用被動語態(tài)）
electric slippers, adjustable heels, tea, microwave ovens, potato chips
1.__________________________? (When)
2.__________________________? (When)
3.__________________________? (What)
4.__________________________? (Who)
5.__________________________? (Who)

任務Ⅳ. 閱讀理解
Future computer
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heateas when you go out of a room? In 2004 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when your return. You will choose the temperature for each room the lighting and the humidity. (濕度) A sensor will detect ( 察覺) the presence of a human ( and, with luck, ignore ( 忽略 ) the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fire and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical equipment, wires or switches, separate ( 隔離) them so that they can’t harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fireman. It will also call the police if the sensors detect a robber. This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using our personal card------ the one you use for shopping-----may be using a number known only to you.
It will be important to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper ( 亂動) with the lock or with a windo It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal ( 信號 ) to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 entertainment will mean much more. You will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.
Questions:
1.Can the future computer help you turn on and off the lights?
_____________________________________.
2.Can the future computer warn you that the electrical equipment need repair?
_____________________________________.
3.If you are out of the house, who will call the fireman?
_____________________________________.
4.In the future, what will you use to open the door?
_____________________________________.
5.Are you able to take part in the entertainment on computer at home in the future?
_____________________________________.
