单元课时计划 Reading and Thinking（2课时） Learning about language(1课时) Discovery Useful Structures（1课时） Using language（1课时） Using language (2课时)
学情分析 授课对象为高二级的学生，在语言知识方面，高二的学生已经掌握一些与本话题相关的词汇，但对生词的学习，学生比较依赖教师或者工具书。此外，学生也掌握了一些基本的语言点和语言技巧，能够获取文本的主要信息。但他们中的大多数人缺乏阅读策略，如略读、跳读和预测等，对文本内容的梳理、阐述以及分析和迁移能力还有待进一步的提高。阅读文本的话题是“智能家居使生活更加便利”（Smart Home Makes Life Easier），要求学生能理解“Smart”的含义并对未来智能家居的发展和智能家居提出了自己的看法。在课前，通过学情调查问卷，了解到学生对智能产品的的背景知识的情况，90%以上的同学都能用英语说出生活中的智能产品，但是，只有部分同学能够用句子描述智能产品的功能与优点，由于日常生活中，对智能产品接触比较少，学生对智能产品并不熟悉，学生觉得用英语谈论新科技的发展是比较困难的，而这篇课文恰好能激发了学生对高新技术的认识和了解，并学习到描述和表达智能产品的语言知识和相关表达句型。
单元知识结构 Listening, Speaking, Reading, Talking, Writing
单元教学重难点及 教学重点： 1.指导学生通过快速阅读识别文章的写作目的和目标读者； 2.引导学生结合语篇主题和内容，全面思考并积极期待未来科技的发展。 教学难点： 1.指导学生能够根据主题表达的需要，利用语篇衔接手段，有逻辑地组织信息。 2.本单元的话题主线是科技发展对人们生活的影响和如何客观而理智地（批判性地）看待科技发展。所以本单元让学生围绕着科技发展的积极影响和消极问题两方面来梳理话题词汇。
单元拓展知识 了解科技发展，尤其是智能家居对人类生活的重要影响和意义；科学技术对人类未来生活带来的变化；能够对科学技术的发展保持好奇心，对科技改变未来生活的场景充满想象，客观评价智能家居。

Step 1 Lead in 1.Use pictures to show the future changes. 2.Work in groups to discuss and finish the exercise Question：What do these pictures show Match the words with pictures. automation③ nanobots② global warming ⑤ artificial intelligence① cloning ④ discuss the pictures in groups
Step 2 Step2 Discussion How do you think these events or such technology might develop in the future What challenges and opportunities might they bring Challenges: With the development of computer technology, more users’ information are stolen. More people are out of work because of automation. Cloning may result in disorder. The Polar bears and other animals will lost their home because of the melt ice caused by global warming. Opportunities: More information is available to users owing to the development of computer technology. People can free themselves to enjoy life because of automation. Cloning may cure more patients. People can live in harmony with the Polar bears. Step3 While-listening PPT 4 Listening tips: Listen for predictions When listening for predictions, you should listen for the use of the future tense, in particular the future tense with will or will be doing. Words such as predict, prediction, and forecast, are also used quite often when making predictions. PPT5 Listening Listen to the radio interview with Dr Han and Vincent Black giving their predictions about the future, and then fill in the table below. NameOccupationPredictionDr Hana computer scientist I forecast that computers will be cleverer than us in the future. I think that people will also be programming computers to think like humans.
Careful listening Host: On today's episode of ”Future Changes”,we talk with two experts from different fields, Dr Han and Vincent Black,to hear their predictions about the future. First, Dr Han, could you please tell our audience what you do Dr Han: Certainly. I’m a computer scientist. Host: And could you please tell us your prediction Dr Han: Yes, well, I forecast that computers will be cleverer than us in the future. I think that people will also be programming computers to think like humans. Host: That's very interesting, but aren't you worried that such computers would be dangerous Dr Han: Not at all. This is because we’ll be programming them to not think in ways that may harm humans. In fact, we’ll also be creating machines to help people internally. For example, I think scientists will put some small intelligent machines, called nanobots, inside our bodies to increase our abilities. Host: Wow! That would make each one of us superhuman! And Vincent, could you please tell us about your job Vincent Black: Certainly. I’m an architect. I design buildings. Host: And what is your prediction about the buildings of the future Vincent Black： It’s about the cities of the future, actually. I believe that cities floating on water are part of the world's future. Host: Oh, really What might make us want to do that Vincent Black: Yes. With global warming causing polar ice to melt, the sea level rising by many metres is a very realistic prospect. Instead of moving people away from the sea, I think that people could move into housing in cities that float. Host: That sounds very innovative. Could you please give us more details Vincent Black: Sure. Well, I’ve developed a plan by designing a city that borrows many ideas from the giant water lily, a flower that floats on water. Moreover ... Step 4 Pair work Work in pairs. Discuss whether you think Dr Han and Vincent Black’s predictions are possible and why or why not For example, I think Dr Han’s prediction is impossible. I think computers can never be cleverer than us. Because they are programmed by humans. For another example, I think Vincent Black’s predication is possible, because of global warming, the sea level is rising. Some places will be flooded and the land is getting smaller. Therefore, it is a good idea to build floating houses. Step 5 Group show In groups, brainstorm about the future. Discuss these points. future events or problems the world might face future technologies how these things will change the way we live the challenges and opportunities these things might bring Complete these points that are essential to our life. FutureTransportautomatic control of smart cars, no traffic jams. Environment recycle all the waste, methods to improve poor air qualities; climate of the earth being very hot is making problems of water resources. Work and studyat home using advanced, interactive computers. housesbuilt onto the sea because of the global municationpad, telephone, computer, smart mobiles etc
Step 6 Discussion Imagine that you have a job that makes you an expert in the future. In pairs, interview each other about your jobs and predictions. Use the expressions in the box to help you. Make predictions: I think/believe/predict that in the future… My prediction is that… By 2030, we will… In the (distant) future there will… I can imagine/forecast… I doubt/don’t think that… One challenge will be… We will have the opportunity to… We will be doing… We are going to… Share your predictions in groups.

They can clean floors and pump gas. In the future they will be more complex and useful. Unfortunately，with robots taking all the jobs, unemployment will be high. Mind-reading technology will allow us to send thoughts to each other without speaking a word. We will also be able to send thoughts to objects around us.(instead of pressing “start” on the microwave, you could just think“start”．)Meanwhile, chips implanted(植入)in our brains will improve memory and intelligence. Future cars will drive themselves. These electric cars will communicate with other cars on the road to travel safely in close formation at high speeds. So one hundred years from now, accidents will be a thing of the past. Discuss the pictures in groups and answer the following questions Do you think there are both advantages and disadvantage of new technology？ Should we fight new technology？

These usually come at the beginning or end of a paragraph. Underline the signpost words or phrases in the text. How do they help tell us the purpose of the paragraphs Introduction→On（the）one hand/ On the other hand→Personally 3) Why did the author decide to write about the topic Because the author read an article about a driverless car accident. Tips: A passage’s writing purpose is something that arises people’s thinking. Usually it often lies in the first paragraph of a passage. Read the passage by themselves and finish the related exercises. And use what you have learned to express your opinion in an essay about the changes that could be caused by advances in technology. Discuss the questions in groups and brainstorm some future advances in technology, and their possible advantages and disadvantages.
step3 Group show Work in groups. Brainstorm some future advances in technology, and their possible advantages and disadvantages. Advance in technologyAdvantage Disadvantage Traffic and lifeEnvironment
