人教版高中政治必修4第八課唯物辯證法的發(fā)展觀教案
1973年4月的一天，一名男子站在紐約的街頭，掏出一個約有兩塊磚頭大的無線電話，并開始通話。這個人就是手機的發(fā)明者馬丁，當時他是摩托羅拉公司的工程技術人員。這是當時世界上第一部移動電話。1985年，第一臺現(xiàn)代意義上的可以商用的移動電話誕生。它是將電源和天線放置在一個盒子里，重量達3公斤。與現(xiàn)代形狀接近的手機誕生于1987年，其重量大約750克，與今天僅重60克的手機相比，像一塊大磚頭。此后，手機的“瘦身”越來越迅速。1991年，手機重量為250克左右。1996年秋，r出現(xiàn)了體積為100立方厘米、重量100克的手機。此后，又進一步小型化，輕型化，到1999年就輕到了60克以下。手機的體積越來越小，但功能卻越來越多。以前的手機是用來通話的，現(xiàn)在的手機是用來享受的。今天，手機可以是相機、游戲機、音樂播放器、信用卡、電影院……手機帶來的不僅僅是通信方式的改變，更是生活方式的變革。

人教版高中語文必修3《馬嵬（其二）》教案2篇
結合歷史自古以來，江山美人歷來都是引無數(shù)英雄豪杰競折腰的，如果說英雄選擇了美人卻丟了江山，把所有罪名都歸結于“女人是禍水”。但是，紂王無道，和有了妲己有必然的聯(lián)系嗎？有人說妲己壞透了，壞透了的妲己如果不是取得紂王的信任是壞不起來的，紂王聽信了妲己的讒言，聽與不聽決定權在紂王，而不在妲己。強勢永遠在紂王一邊。再來看看西施和楊貴妃：西施是作為越國貢獻給吳國的供品來到吳王夫差的身邊的，楊貴妃更是先是李隆基的兒媳婦被看中而得寵的。所以，西施和楊貴妃這兩個可憐的女人根本沒有自己的獨立選擇，沒有獨立的愛情，如果沒有西施，就會有南施，或北施；如果沒有楊貴妃，就會有李貴妃，王貴妃，總之什么施，什么妃是不能少的，因為那是吳王和李隆基的需要。
