9、品的语言材料，旨在培养学生捕获相关物品特征、用途等关键词的能力；第二部分是第一部分的延伸，进一步引导学生掌握描述物品特征的词汇和技巧，达到创造性运用语言的目的。1.3 SPEAKING 部分根据材料要求，把全班分成四个小组，每一组从不同角度出发讨论购买手机和不买手机的理由。既引导学生合作学习，又培养学生全面地、辩证地看待问题的哲学观和消费观。1.4 PRE-READING 是 READING 的热身活动。要求学生采用讨论交流的方式谈论现代科技对人们日常生活的影响，激发他们对阅读主题文章的欲望。1.5 READING 一文采用前后呼应的写作手法，介绍手机的用途、所产生的问题并剖析年轻人宠爱手机的
10、原因。文章选材新颖，贴近现实生活，主题鲜明，容易引起学生的阅读兴趣和共鸣。1.6 POST-READING 从回答问题、概括段落大意和创造性设计三个层面逐步推进，激励学生结合现实生活，开动脑筋，充分发挥想象力和创造力设计自己的产品，从而达到运用英语进行交际的能力。1.7 LANGUAGE STUDY 的“词汇学习”目的在于培养学生根据语境掌握并运用所学词汇的能力。 “同步语法”则设计了不同类型的句型转换题，旨在训练学生准确理解和灵活运用现在进行时的被动语态的能力。1.8 INTEGRATING SKILLS 中的阅读部分是一篇科幻文章，大胆想象未来世界受电脑统治的情景，引导学生思考未来科技对人
11、类生产、生活的影响。相对起来，写作任务更加富有挑战性，不但需要学生大胆想象，还需要短文具有较强的说服力和思辩性，最后点明“爱”和“友谊”这一文章主题。1.9 TIPS 部分给出指导学生进行有效阅读的技巧根据上下文猜测词义。1.10 CHECKPOINT“复习要点”部分简要地总结本单元语法重点，并引导学生学会总结知识要点。2. 教材重组2.1 从话题内容上分析，WARMING UP 与 SPEAK-ING 相一致；而从训练目的上分析与 TALKING 比较一致。从教材份量来说，可将 WARMING UP，SPEAKING 和 Workbook 中的 TALKING 整合在一起，设计成一节任务型“
12、口语课” 。2.2 将 LISTENING 和 Workbook 中的 LISTENING 整合在一起，设计成一节“听力课” 。2.3 可将 PRE-READING, READING 和 POST-READING 三个教学活动整合在一起上一节“阅读课（一） ”。2.4 可将 LANGUAGE STUDY 与 Workbook 中的 PRACTISING 语法练习题整合在一起上一节“语法课” 。2.5 可将 INTEGRATING SKILLS 中 Reading 和 Workbook 中INTEGRATING SKILLS 的 Reading 整合起来上一节“阅读课（二） （泛读课） ”。2.
