1.觀察(1)如圖,在陽光下觀察直立于地面的旗桿AB及它在地面影子BC,旗桿所在直線與影子所在直線的位置關系是什么?(2)隨著時間的變化,影子BC的位置在不斷的變化,旗桿所在直線AB與其影子B’C’所在直線是否保持垂直?經觀察我們知道AB與BC永遠垂直,也就是AB垂直于地面上所有過點B的直線。而不過點B的直線在地面內總是能找到過點B的直線與之平行。因此AB與地面上所有直線均垂直。一般地,如果一條直線與一個平面α內所有直線均垂直,我們就說l垂直α,記作l⊥α。2.定義:①文字敘述:如果直線l與平面α內的所有 直線都垂直,就說直線l與平面α互相垂直,記作l⊥α.直線l叫做平面α的垂線,平面α叫做直線l的垂面.直線與平面垂直時,它們唯一的公共點P叫做交點.②圖形語言:如圖.畫直線l與平面α垂直時,通常把直線畫成與表示平面的平行四邊形的一邊垂直.
6. 例二:如圖,AB是⊙O的直徑,PA垂直于⊙O所在的平面,C是圓周上的一點,且PA=AC,求二面角P-BC-A的大小. 解:由已知PA⊥平面ABC,BC在平面ABC內∴PA⊥BC∵AB是⊙O的直徑,且點C在圓周上,∴AC⊥BC又∵PA∩AC=A,PA,AC在平面PAC內,∴BC⊥平面PAC又PC在平面PAC內,∴PC⊥BC又∵BC是二面角P-BC-A的棱,∴∠PCA是二面角P-BC-A的平面角由PA=AC知△PAC是等腰直角三角形∴∠PCA=45°,即二面角P-BC-A的大小是45°7.面面垂直定義一般地,兩個平面相交,如果它們所成的二面角是直二面角,就說這兩個平面互相垂直,平面α與β垂直,記作α⊥β8. 探究:建筑工人在砌墻時,常用鉛錘來檢測所砌的墻面與地面是否垂直,如果系有鉛錘的細繩緊貼墻面,工人師傅被認為墻面垂直于地面,否則他就認為墻面不垂直于地面,這種方法說明了什么道理?
新知講授(一)——古典概型 對隨機事件發(fā)生可能性大小的度量(數(shù)值)稱為事件的概率。我們將具有以上兩個特征的試驗稱為古典概型試驗,其數(shù)學模型稱為古典概率模型,簡稱古典概型。即具有以下兩個特征:1、有限性:樣本空間的樣本點只有有限個;2、等可能性:每個樣本點發(fā)生的可能性相等。思考一:下面的隨機試驗是不是古典概型?(1)一個班級中有18名男生、22名女生。采用抽簽的方式,從中隨機選擇一名學生,事件A=“抽到男生”(2)拋擲一枚質地均勻的硬幣3次,事件B=“恰好一次正面朝上”(1)班級中共有40名學生,從中選擇一名學生,即樣本點是有限個;因為是隨機選取的,所以選到每個學生的可能性都相等,因此這是一個古典概型。
問題導入:問題一:試驗1:分別拋擲兩枚質地均勻的硬幣,A=“第一枚硬幣正面朝上”,B=“第二枚硬幣正面朝上”。事件A的發(fā)生是否影響事件B的概率?因為兩枚硬幣分別拋擲,第一枚硬幣的拋擲結果與第二枚硬幣的拋擲結果互相不受影響,所以事件A發(fā)生與否不影響事件B發(fā)生的概率。問題二:計算試驗1中的P(A),P(B),P(AB),你有什么發(fā)現(xiàn)?在該試驗中,用1表示硬幣“正面朝上”,用0表示“反面朝上”,則樣本空間Ω={(1,1),(1,0),(0,1),(0,0)},包含4個等可能的樣本點。而A={(1,1),(1,0)},B={(1,0),(0,0)}所以AB={(1,0)}由古典概率模型概率計算公式,得P(A)=P(B)=0.5,P(AB)=0.25, 于是 P(AB)=P(A)P(B)積事件AB的概率恰好等于事件A、B概率的乘積。問題三:試驗2:一個袋子中裝有標號分別是1,2,3,4的4個球,除標號外沒有其他差異。
1.觀察(1)如圖,在陽光下觀察直立于地面的旗桿AB及它在地面影子BC,旗桿所在直線與影子所在直線的位置關系是什么?(2)隨著時間的變化,影子BC的位置在不斷的變化,旗桿所在直線AB與其影子B’C’所在直線是否保持垂直?經觀察我們知道AB與BC永遠垂直,也就是AB垂直于地面上所有過點B的直線。而不過點B的直線在地面內總是能找到過點B的直線與之平行。因此AB與地面上所有直線均垂直。一般地,如果一條直線與一個平面α內所有直線均垂直,我們就說l垂直α,記作l⊥α。2.定義:①文字敘述:如果直線l與平面α內的所有 直線都垂直,就說直線l與平面α互相垂直,記作l⊥α.直線l叫做平面α的垂線,平面α叫做直線l的垂面.直線與平面垂直時,它們唯一的公共點P叫做交點.②圖形語言:如圖.畫直線l與平面α垂直時,通常把直線畫成與表示平面的平行四邊形的一邊垂直.③符號語言:任意a?α,都有l(wèi)⊥a?l⊥α.

The topic of this part is “Discover the reasons for festivals and celebrations.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at talking about the experiences and feelings or emotions about the festivals and celebrations. This section aims at detecting the reason why the people celebrate the festivals, the time, the places, the types and the way of celebrations. It also explains why some traditions in the old celebrations are disappearing, like the firecrackers in the big cities and some new things are appearing like the prosperity of business or commerce. 1. Students can talk about what festivals they know and the reasons and the way of celebrating them.2. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.3. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them. 4. Students can have the international awareness about the festivals.1. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.2. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them.Step 1 Lead in---Small talkWhat festival do you like best ? Why ?I like the Spring Festivals because I can set off the fireworks, receive the lucky money and enjoy the Gala with my families.Step 2 Before reading---Pair workWhy do people celebrate different festivals ?The Spring Festivals is to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring and new life.The Mid-autumn Day is to celebrate the harvest and admire the moon.
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.
Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …h(huán)orse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.
Example:One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door found that he only had one dime(一角)left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.” Tear of joy flooded her eyes.
The topic of this part is “Learn to make choices in life”.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at the moral dilemmas, and this part is about making choices in life. The heroin is Lin Qiaozhi, a famous medical scientist, made a great contribution to our country’s medical care. Most importantly, her life experience can inspire our students whether in studying or the development of career. she had moral dilemmas and life choices, which are similar to the students who will step into society. Besides, Lin has quite good virtues like kindness, self-improvement, insistence, job-loving , generosity and responsibility, which is worth being learned.Concretely, this article is a biography about Lin Qiaozhi. The article tells her whole life according the timeline, among which the life choices is emphasized. For example, whether married or chased her dream, returned home or stayed abroad, family or public, her choices all reflected her faith, spirit, responsibility and devotion.1. Fast reading to get the detailed information about Lin Qiaozhi; careful reading to do the deductive information.2. Learn the reading skills--deductive judgement according the context.3. Study the structure features and language features. 4. Communicate about Lin’s life choices and reflect their own life choices.1. Learn the reading skills--deductive judgement according the context.2. Study the structure features and language features.3. Communicate about Lin’s life choices and reflect their own life choices.Step 1 Lead in---Small talkWhat are some important life choices?Importance choices: university study, jobs and marriage partners. Because they can determine our future.
1. 這個寓言是一個關于一位國王古寓言。 The fable is an old fable about a king.2.作者用這個故事讓讀者對于社區(qū)的問題負有個人責任的必要印象深刻。The author used the story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community.3. 這個故事十分成功的實現(xiàn)了它的目的。The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose.Step 7 WritingPlease write a review of the story according the outline above.The fable is an old fable about a king who thought his people are lazy, so he put a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waited to see if anyone will try to move it.The author used this story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral.However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people with the need for personal responsibility.Step 8 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner. Use this checklist to help your partner revise his/her draft.1. Does the writer give a short description of the story ?2. Does the description include the most important details of the story ?3.

The themes of this part are “Talk about how to become an astronaut” and “Talk about life in space”. As Neil Armstrong said “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand. Space is difficult for human to reach, therefore, humans are full of wonders about it. However, if wanting to achieve the dream of reaching the Moon, some of our human should work hard to be an astronaut at first. Part A(Talk about how to become an astronaut) is a radio interview in a radio studio, where the host asked the Chinese astronauts about his story how to become an astronaut. Yang Liwei told his dreamed to be an astronaut since childhood. Then he worked hard to get into college at 22. The next 10 years, he gradually became an experienced pilot. At the same time, to be an astronaut, he had to study hard English, science and astronomy and trained hard to keep in good physical and mental health and to practise using space equipment. Part B (Talk about life in space) is also an interview with the astronaut Brown, who is back on the earth. The host Max asked about his space life, such as his emotion about going back the earth, the eating, shower, brushing, hobbies and his work. Part A and Part B are interviews. So expressing curiosity about the guests’ past life is a communicative skill, which students should be guided to learn.1. Students can get detailed information about how Yang Liwei became an astronaut and Max’s space life.2. Students learn to proper listening strategy to get detailed information---listening for numbers and taking notes.3. Students can learn related sentences or phrases to express their curiosity like “ I wish to know...” “I’d love to know...”4. Students can learn more about the space and astronauts, even be interested in working hard to be an astronaut
The theme of this unit focuses on “space exploration.” Students will learn about the training and experience needed to become an astronaut. The text is mainly about the development of space exploration. On the one hand, the text helps students to have a good understanding about the great feats humans have achieved, on the other hand, they will further understand the contributions that we Chinese have achieved, and feel confident and proud about our homeland and strengthen their love for our country. The teacher should instruct students to aim high and study harder to make great progress in the space career if possible.1. Read about the development and value of space exploration.2. Explore the mysteries of the universe and the achievements in space exploration.3. Skillfully use the vocabulary of this text to cultivate self-study ability 4. Develop cooperative learning ability through discussion.1. Enable the Ss to talk about the development and value of space exploration.2. Guide the Ss to summarize the main idea of each paragraph as well as the main idea of the text.3. Help Ss comprehend the main reasons for space exploration. Multi-media, textbook, notebooks.Step 1: Warming up and predictionLook at the title and the pictures of the text and predict what the text will be about?2. What are the main reasons for space exploration?
⑦在我看來, 探索太空是值得的。As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.Step 10 Writing---draftRecently, students in our class have had heated a discussion on whether space is worth exploring. Students hold different ideas about it.30% of us think space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life and is a waste of money. And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.On the other hand,70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it,such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more,with further space research,we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day. Also,space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth.As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space. Not only can it promote the development of society but also enrich our life. Step 11 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner.
