1、教材內(nèi)容分析
在一定意義上，主題公園作為人類文明的一大體現(xiàn)，作為當(dāng)今社會(huì)人們主要休閑、娛樂方式之一，是一個(gè)非常貼近生活、具有時(shí)代性、可深度挖掘的教學(xué)主題。本單元圍繞a world of fun 這一主題開展聽、說、讀、寫多種教學(xué)活動(dòng)。單元語言素材涉及過山車、蹦極運(yùn)動(dòng)、自由落體車、賽車等娛樂方式及各類主題公園內(nèi)容，具有典型的時(shí)代氣息，有利于學(xué)生了解生活、運(yùn)動(dòng)與休閑，了解中外文化，增強(qiáng)世界意識(shí)，有利于培養(yǎng)積極的生活態(tài)度。

Speaking緊緊圍繞“問路與指路”話題： 課內(nèi)提供一張公園平面圖，學(xué)生根據(jù)出發(fā)點(diǎn)和目的地的聯(lián)系進(jìn)行有意義的對(duì)話實(shí)踐。Post-speaking內(nèi)容擴(kuò)展至生活實(shí)際情況。
Reading是一篇介紹主題公園的說明文。它包括主題公園的定義、特點(diǎn)，描述the World Park of China, the Ocean Park of Hong Kong, Disneyland in California 等主題公園；同時(shí)也引導(dǎo)學(xué)生了解和比較不同主題公園的特色，激發(fā)學(xué)生聯(lián)想主題公園的未來發(fā)展，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生自行設(shè)計(jì)公園的主題活動(dòng)，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生積極想象、培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新能力。
Language study要求學(xué)生掌握和運(yùn)用相應(yīng)的詞匯；了解分詞的意義，學(xué)習(xí)掌握現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語的用法，區(qū)別運(yùn)用分詞的進(jìn)行式作狀語與完成式作狀語結(jié)構(gòu)。
Integrating skills閱讀部分以rides為主題內(nèi)容，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生創(chuàng)造、現(xiàn)象。寫作部分主要引導(dǎo)學(xué)生寫好對(duì)事物的描述材料。
學(xué)生在本單元的學(xué)習(xí)過程中，除了增長語言知識(shí)、提高語言技能外，更要拓展文化視野，發(fā)展跨文化交際的意識(shí)和能力；并且結(jié)合個(gè)人經(jīng)驗(yàn)充分體驗(yàn)他人在個(gè)別主題活動(dòng)方面的感受，加強(qiáng)合作意識(shí)、陶冶情操，提高自身素養(yǎng)。

***難句理解
1. What they all have in common is having fun and experiencing something different.
這些公園所擁有的共同特點(diǎn)是讓人們感到快樂與體驗(yàn)不同的東西。
What they all have in common是主語從句, 其后謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。
having fun and experiencing something different 作表語
2. But theme parks also try to make sure that visitors leave knowing more about the idea behind the park.
但是主題公園也盡力去做，使得來訪者在離開時(shí)已對(duì)公園的良苦用心了解更多。
make sure 是“弄確定”意思。
Make sure that the lights have been turned off when you leave the room!
The train leaves at 5 o’clock, but you’d better make sure.
knowing more about the idea behind the park 是現(xiàn)在分詞結(jié)構(gòu)作結(jié)果狀語，表達(dá)一定邏輯的結(jié)果。
而動(dòng)詞不定式作結(jié)果狀語通常表達(dá)非邏輯的結(jié)果。請(qǐng)對(duì)比以下句子：
The little boy woke up, unluckily to find his books lost.
I got off the bus, only to find my pocket picked. 3.Having enjoyed the rides at the Headland, visitors can take the shuttle to the Lowland. 在Headland玩了過山車后，游客們可以坐車直接到Lowland。
Having enjoyed the rides at the Headland為現(xiàn)在分詞的完成式結(jié)構(gòu)，表達(dá)主語的這一動(dòng)作在下一動(dòng)作前已經(jīng)發(fā)生并完成，特別強(qiáng)調(diào)前后動(dòng)作在時(shí)間上的對(duì)比。這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)可以轉(zhuǎn)換為從句After they have enjoyed the rides at the headland,…

4. Entering one of the attractions at Universal Studios is like stepping into the world of your favourite film.
走進(jìn)Universal Studios其中一個(gè)吸引人的場地就象步入你最喜愛的電影中的一個(gè)畫面。
Entering one of the attractions at Universal Studios是動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu)作主語； stepping into the world of your favourite film是動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu)作賓語。
動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu)可以作主語、賓語、表語、狀語、定語、獨(dú)立成分和同位語等。
5.It seemed like people just cannot get enough of scary rides and exciting adventures. 看來人們從這樣的驚險(xiǎn)賽車和刺激冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)中還得不到足夠的滿足。此處用It seemed that …句式更為正式。seem的用法如下：
6.You can feel what it is like to live in space, walk on the ocean floor or ski with polar bears at North Pole.
你可以感覺到如同居住在太空、在海底行走或在北極和北極熊一同滑雪那樣的情況。
feel后面跟了賓語從句what it is like to live in space, walk on the ocean floor or ski with polar bears at North Pole。
what it is like to do sth.表達(dá)事物情況如何。
7. The only limit to the fun is the imagination of the designers of the thrill rides. It seems to be endless.
對(duì)于這種樂趣的唯一限制是驚險(xiǎn)車乘的設(shè)計(jì)者的想象力。設(shè)計(jì)工作是無窮無盡的。（這2句話表明一個(gè)事實(shí)：個(gè)人的想象力是有限的但又不斷發(fā)展變化的，想象活動(dòng)是無止境的，想象是創(chuàng)造的基礎(chǔ)。）
此處limit作名詞。
The …limit of something / to something is ……也是一個(gè)常用句型。

1、香港海洋公園
香港海洋公園是世界最大的海洋公園之一，占地170英畝。公園建筑分布于南朗山上及黃竹坑谷地。山上以海洋館、海洋劇場、海濤館、機(jī)動(dòng)游戲?yàn)橹�。山下則有水上樂園、花園劇場、金魚館及仿照歷代文物所建的集古村，仿中國宮廷建筑，村內(nèi)有亭臺(tái)樓閣、廟宇街景，反映中國歷史風(fēng)貌，使中國古代街景重現(xiàn)，并有民間藝術(shù)表演。由中央政府贈(zèng)送的大熊貓安安和佳佳，于1999年首次公開免費(fèi)讓市民參觀。往來于園內(nèi)各地，可乘架空吊車或電動(dòng)扶梯。
　　游海洋公園的必到熱點(diǎn)是海洋館，飼有超過2600條分屬200多種類的熱帶魚。館分四層，全部玻璃屏帳，令游客仿佛置身海底，觀看印度太平洋珊瑚礁的瑰麗景色。 瘋狂過山車是全香港最長的過山車。它的極速與刺激的雙環(huán)回旋設(shè)計(jì)，保證給你一個(gè)驚心動(dòng)魄的旅程。利用登山纜車往返山上山下，偷得浮生，靜心欣賞南中國海的宜人景色。
千萬不要忘了去海洋劇場，海豚和海獅的聰明才智，會(huì)令您贊嘆不已。仿照北京故宮建成的金魚大觀園，展出過百條金魚，當(dāng)中不乏海洋公園獨(dú)有的稀有品種。 公園內(nèi)還有各項(xiàng)小丑以及街頭表演。在星期六、日以及公眾假日更有不同主題的樂隊(duì)表演。
為了增加對(duì)市民和游客的吸引力，并應(yīng)付迪斯尼樂園的挑戰(zhàn)，香港海洋公園耗資2900萬元建成的速降機(jī)7月21日正式面世。該座速降機(jī)時(shí)速高達(dá)45英里，是世界上首座雙塔式“跳樓機(jī)”(free fall ride)。
“跳樓機(jī)”高60米，相當(dāng)于20層樓高，每次可搭載12人，游客首先緩緩被拉上塔頂，在高空逗留數(shù)秒鐘后，“跳樓機(jī)”突然墮下，以極高速度急降地面，整個(gè)旅程約需1分鐘。
2、北京世界公園
北京世界公園通過世界五大洲近百個(gè)名勝古跡的微縮景觀和多采的活動(dòng)內(nèi)容，向游客展示了世界各國的建筑、雕塑、繪畫、音樂、舞蹈、服飾和餐飲文化。游客在輕松愉快的參觀游覽過程中能得到豐富的文化享受。
北京世界公園自建園以來，受到了黨和國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的親切關(guān)懷。江澤民、李鵬同志親臨公園視察，并參加建園的勞動(dòng)。
