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.

Everybody wants to get wealth.In today’s material world,making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood. With money they can own luxurious cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.But is wealth the only road to happiness? Not really. There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.

從右圖“進(jìn)出口貿(mào)易占全國的比重”可看出,珠三角地區(qū)的外向型經(jīng)濟(jì)特征很明顯,但正在緩慢的發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變;而長三角地區(qū)的外貿(mào)依存度在10年內(nèi)迅速增長。由此可見,珠三角地區(qū)城市化過程,是伴隨著該地特殊的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展相對自發(fā)地快速推進(jìn),缺乏宏觀而理性的規(guī)劃。閱讀通過此閱讀材料,使學(xué)生大致了解以下內(nèi)容深圳作為珠江三角洲地區(qū)迅速城市化的一個典型代表,到目前為止,對其未來發(fā)展道路的構(gòu)想,主要集中在:如何聯(lián)合和依托臨近區(qū)域、聯(lián)合優(yōu)勢資源,擴(kuò)大發(fā)展空間;如何明確功能,重新定位,合理分工,突出特色?;顒娱L江三角洲地區(qū)城市的協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展1.讀圖4.28,如果按人口規(guī)模>500萬人、100萬~500萬人、50萬~100萬人、20萬~50萬人和<20萬人將城市分為五級的話,分析長江三角洲地區(qū)城市的等級規(guī)模結(jié)構(gòu)是否合理,這對其城市的協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展有何影響?
1.閱讀圖5.16,說明產(chǎn)業(yè)向國外轉(zhuǎn)移對日本經(jīng)濟(jì)的不利影響。點撥:圖5.16直觀的顯示了產(chǎn)業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)移對日本經(jīng)濟(jì)的不利影響:形成“產(chǎn)業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)移出去的多,轉(zhuǎn)移進(jìn)來的少→國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)投資不足,生產(chǎn)困難→市場萎縮→產(chǎn)業(yè)向外轉(zhuǎn)移,外資不愿進(jìn)入”的惡性循環(huán)。2.盡管重化工業(yè)的環(huán)境污染比較嚴(yán)重,但是卻能為工業(yè)化的發(fā)展提供堅實的基礎(chǔ),因此成為發(fā)達(dá)工業(yè)的象征。日本、韓國的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展都經(jīng)歷了由輕工業(yè)(勞動密集型)到重化工業(yè)(資源密集型和資金密集型)到高科技工業(yè)(技術(shù)密集型)的階段。(1)為什么日本、韓國在重點發(fā)展重化工業(yè)之前,要先發(fā)展勞動密集型工業(yè)?點撥:重化工業(yè)的發(fā)展一方面需要有一定的工業(yè)基礎(chǔ)和技術(shù)工人,另一方面需要投入大量的資金,先發(fā)展勞動密集型工業(yè)有利于利用勞動力資源豐富且廉價的優(yōu)勢,積累資金和造就產(chǎn)業(yè)工人。所以,勞動力豐富的發(fā)展中國家或地區(qū)的工業(yè)化往往從優(yōu)先發(fā)展勞動密集型工業(yè)開始。
4.They were going to find someone to take part in their bet when they saw Henry walking on the street outside.[歸納]1.過去將來時的基本構(gòu)成和用法過去將來時由“would+動詞原形”構(gòu)成,主要表示從過去某一時間來看將要發(fā)生的動作(尤其用于賓語從句中),還可以表示過去的動作習(xí)慣或傾向。Jeff knew he would be tired the next day.He promised that he would not open the letter until 2 o'clock.She said that she wouldn't do that again.2.表示過去將來時的其他表達(dá)法(1)was/were going to+動詞原形:該結(jié)構(gòu)有兩個主要用法,一是表示過去的打算,二是表示在過去看來有跡象表明將要發(fā)生某事。I thought it was going to rain.(2)was/were to+動詞原形:主要表示過去按計劃或安排要做的事情。She said she was to get married next month.(3)was/were about to+動詞原形:表示在過去看來即將要發(fā)生的動作,由于本身已含有“即將”的意味,所以不再與表示具體的將來時間狀語連用。I was about to go to bed when the phone rang.(4)was/were+現(xiàn)在分詞:表示在過去看來即將發(fā)生的動作,通??捎糜谠摻Y(jié)構(gòu)中的動詞是come,go,leave,arrive,begin,start,stop,close,open,die,join,borrow,buy等瞬間動詞。Jack said he was leaving tomorrow.
學(xué)生活動:認(rèn)真閱讀,積極思考。教師總結(jié):這樣一個人口大國,依靠外國是不能解決溫飽問題的,更談不上社會主義現(xiàn)代化。實行對外開放,發(fā)展對外經(jīng)濟(jì)關(guān)系,必須堅持獨立自主、自力更生原則,并以此為自己發(fā)展的根本基點。但堅持堅持獨立自主、自力更生,并不是閉關(guān)自守、盲目排外,而是在立足自身基礎(chǔ)上實行對外開放,把二者結(jié)合起來。(三)課堂總結(jié)、點評這節(jié)課我們重點學(xué)習(xí)了我國對外開放方面的有關(guān)知識,知道了在經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化的國際大趨勢下,社會主義現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)必須實行對外開放,積極參與國際經(jīng)濟(jì)競爭與合作。了解了我國對外開放的成就、格局、新形勢下的基本政策和戰(zhàn)略。這對于我們在正確地認(rèn)識國際經(jīng)濟(jì)關(guān)系,增強(qiáng)社會主義優(yōu)越感和民族自強(qiáng)意識,自覺投身現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)等將有重大指導(dǎo)作用。
生:環(huán)境承載力是指環(huán)境能持續(xù)供養(yǎng)的人口數(shù)量。師:對了。但是有同學(xué)仍然會感到這是一個很抽象的概念。下面我們具體來了解什么是環(huán)境承載力。我們可以從兩個部分去理解:一、環(huán)境,它主要是指環(huán)境的單個要素(如:土地、水、氣候、植被等。)及其組合方式。二、是承載力,它指在特定的條件下,具體某事物能承受的某種活動的最大值。那環(huán)境承載力的科學(xué)定義是怎樣表達(dá)的呢?生:環(huán)境承載力是指某一時期,某種狀態(tài)條件下,某地區(qū)環(huán)境所能承受的人類活動作用的閾值。師:很對。 我們可以用一個生動的例子來說明。一只木桶里面的水的多少在底面積固定不變的情況下是由哪塊木板來決定?生:最短的那塊。師:確實如此。這就是我們平常所講的 “木桶效應(yīng)”。那影響環(huán)境承載力的大小也是由環(huán)境個要素里面最緊缺的那個要素來決定的。下面我們用一個例子來印證一下。
法律手段:制定和運用經(jīng)濟(jì)法規(guī),包括經(jīng)濟(jì)立法、經(jīng)濟(jì)司法活動等行政手段:采取強(qiáng)制性的行政命令、指示、規(guī)定等運用舉例:我國一些地區(qū)遭遇突如其來的“禽流感”,禽類養(yǎng)殖戶損失慘重。國家采取了對疫區(qū)封鎖,對疫區(qū)的養(yǎng)殖戶進(jìn)行經(jīng)濟(jì)補(bǔ)貼,以及國家出資統(tǒng)一對疫區(qū)進(jìn)行消毒等措施進(jìn)行防治,并規(guī)定任何人不得將家禽帶出疫區(qū),違者追究法律責(zé)任。請結(jié)合材料說明在防治“禽流感”、發(fā)展禽類養(yǎng)殖的過程中,我國政府分別采取了哪些措施教師分析:對疫區(qū)養(yǎng)殖戶進(jìn)行經(jīng)濟(jì)補(bǔ)貼體現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)手段;對違反規(guī)定者追究法律責(zé)任,體現(xiàn)法律手段;對疫區(qū)進(jìn)行封鎖體現(xiàn)行政手段。(四)反思總結(jié),當(dāng)堂檢測。教師組織學(xué)生反思本節(jié)課的主要內(nèi)容(參照板書),進(jìn)行總結(jié)。設(shè)計意圖:對本節(jié)課的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行小結(jié),學(xué)生的概括過程也是檢驗學(xué)生對本節(jié)課理解程度的過程。再次明確學(xué)生是學(xué)習(xí)的主體,并能夠發(fā)現(xiàn),問題解決問題。
材料說明了什么?探究二:材料分析:2005年12月13日至18日,WTO第六次部長級會議在香港召開。會議經(jīng)過談判通過了《部長宣言》,規(guī)定發(fā)達(dá)成員和部分發(fā)展中成員2008年前向最不發(fā)達(dá)國家所有產(chǎn)品提供免關(guān)稅、免配額的市場準(zhǔn)入;發(fā)達(dá)成員2006年取消棉花的出口補(bǔ)貼, 2013年年底前取消所有形式農(nóng)產(chǎn)品出口補(bǔ)貼。材料體現(xiàn)了世界貿(mào)易組織在國際經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易領(lǐng)域中發(fā)揮哪些作用?探究三:P97:A、這些圖示,反映出我國利用外資哪些特點?。B、能為我國提高外資利用水平提出些建議嗎?探究四:材料展示:我國是人口眾多的發(fā)展中大國,全國居民每天消費總額達(dá)到37億元。每天消費糧食75萬噸,相當(dāng)于一個縣級商品糧基地的全年產(chǎn)量;每天消耗豬肉6萬噸,食油1萬噸,糖1.6萬噸,鮮蛋1.8萬噸。每天購買雜志600多萬冊,報紙5000多萬份,需要400量中型載貨汽車才能裝載。
2.辯證的否定(1)辯證的否定是事物的自我否定。事物內(nèi)部存在著肯定方面和否定方面,它們既對立又統(tǒng)一。最初,肯定方面處于支配地位,否定方面處于被支配地位。在這種情況下,事物就被肯定著。但是,在矛盾雙方的斗爭中,否定方面總會由弱變強(qiáng)。一旦否定方面由被支配地位上升為支配地位,事物就轉(zhuǎn)化到了自己的對立面,實現(xiàn)了對事物的否定。事物最終之所以被否定,根源在于事物的內(nèi)部,是事物內(nèi)部的否定因素戰(zhàn)勝了肯定因素。因此,事物的否定是自我否定。(2)辯證的否定是事物發(fā)展的環(huán)節(jié)和聯(lián)系的環(huán)節(jié)。所謂發(fā)展,是指新事物的產(chǎn)生和舊事物的滅亡。而實現(xiàn)這一過程必須要對舊事物進(jìn)行否定,否定實現(xiàn)了事物由舊質(zhì)向新質(zhì)的飛躍。新事物在否定舊事物時,并不是把舊事物全盤拋棄,一筆勾銷。舊事物是新事物的母體,新事物從舊事物那里脫胎而來,新事物是在批判地繼承舊事物中的一切積極的有生命力的因素的基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)展起來的。這樣,在新舊事物之間就存在著必然的聯(lián)系。
在數(shù)學(xué)上,0這個數(shù)是解決記數(shù)和進(jìn)位問題而引進(jìn)的概念,由于它不能表示實在的東西,很長時間人們不把它看作是一個數(shù)。認(rèn)為0是無,是對有的否定。從唯物辯證法的觀點看,這種否定不是形而上學(xué)的簡單否定,而是具有豐富內(nèi)容的辨證否定。辨證的否定是發(fā)展的環(huán)節(jié)。0是從無到有的必經(jīng)之路,是連接無和有的橋梁。0又是正數(shù)和負(fù)數(shù)之間的界限,它既否定了任何正數(shù),也否定了任何負(fù)數(shù),是唯一的中性數(shù)。但它又是聯(lián)結(jié)正數(shù)和負(fù)數(shù)的中間環(huán)節(jié)。沒有0,負(fù)數(shù)就過渡不到正數(shù)去,正數(shù)也休想發(fā)展到負(fù)數(shù)來。數(shù)學(xué)中的0是對任何定量的否定。如果沒有這一否定,任何量的發(fā)展都無從談起。這個否定不是一筆勾銷,而是揚棄。因為它克服了任何定量的有限性,成為其發(fā)展的環(huán)節(jié)。在現(xiàn)實生活中,0作為辨證的否定,也體現(xiàn)出聯(lián)系和發(fā)展的性質(zhì)。如0度不是沒有溫度,而是非常確定的溫度。
