Unit 2 Travelling Around
Period 2 Reading and Thinking
教材分析
该板块的活动主题是“探索秘鲁”(Explore Peru)。学生通过观看视频、阅读有关南 美洲国家——秘鲁的介绍和旅游宣传册，了解秘鲁的旅游资源，同时了解这个国家的地理、 历史、文化及景观等内容，最后完成根据游客的兴趣爱好推荐合适的旅行路线的任务。该板 块的活动模拟现实生活中人们通过阅读旅游宣传册或其他如百科全书式的介绍性文本来了 解旅行目的地的过程，让学生学会从不同渠道搜寻信息，为制定旅行计划做好准备。选择具 有南美风情和特色的国家——秘鲁作为目的地，增加了学生了解非英语国家的机会，使其拥 有更广阔的国际视野。该部分除了文字以外，还提供了图片、地图、视频等多模态语篇，培 养学生看的能力。
该板块文本包括两部分。第一部分是介绍性文本，介绍了秘鲁的地理位置、地貌特征及 历史文化。该文本常见于百科全书，以条目释文为主，或配以插图；内容简要并具有权威性； 语言平实、简洁、严谨，客观陈述事实，不带有感彩。第二部分是旅游宣传册，介绍了 秘鲁四条不同特色的旅行路线。该文本结构清晰，主干部分由小标题引领四条路线，配有丰 富的图片和精美的设计，在视觉上给人很强的冲击。旅游宣传册是日常生活中的常见材料， 主要有三种功能。第一是信息功能，向读者介绍目的地的基本信息，描述其基本特点。第二 是表现功能，使用富有感染力的语言表现作者的态度、观点等，例如：文本中用admire the architecture、enjoy the excellent local food 等语言所描述的事物会给读者留下深刻的 印象。第三是感染和共鸣功能，这是旅游宣传册的最终目的，即通过拉近与读者的关系，
激发读者的共鸣，吸引读者加入旅行。文本中的‘So come and experience what Peru has to offer:...”就是典型的例子。此外，文本中还大量运用了祈使句及第二人称you 做主语的 句子，使读者有身临其境的感觉。
