8、: We should base our theories on practice. S: We are inspired to have a spirit of scientific exploration. S: We do some research with the purpose of serving the people and society. Ss: . . . T: Yes, we can learn a lot from the scientist. In fact, there are a great number of people working on science

9、 worthy of being learned both at home and abroad.

You seem to have a good knowledge of him. Qian Xuesen is a famous scientist who has contributed much to the countrys cause of science and t

13、echnology. Task 2 First ListeningT: We are to listen to the material, which is about Qian Xuesen. Yu Ping is telling her friend Steve Smith about Qian Xuesens life. If you were Yu Ping, what topics would you like to cover when introducing him?S: The date when he was born and he died;the place where

14、he was born, lived, studied and died;his family;his experience;his achievements;his contributionsT: Excellent. When we talk about and introduce a scientist, we usually describe these aspects. Now, listen carefully and tick out which topics are mentioned in the tape. (After listening, let them check

15、the answers. )Task 3 Second ListeningT: This time. Youll write down the answers to the five questions. Boys and girls, how can we write the answers fast and correctly?S: We should go through the questions first and keep them in mind. When we are listening, we just need to pay much attention to the s

T: You are clever. Now please get ready. First, look through the introduction to the listening material

17、. Then, scan the questions. (Two minutes later, the teacher plays the tape. Then give Ss time to organize their sentences.)T: Lets check the answers one by one. (If the students make some common mistakes or they seem to have difficulty in finding out answers, teachers can give them some hints and le

If the students feel it difficult to make sense about the key words and understand the speakers intention and attitude, the teacher should give them some help. )Task 4 Post-listeningT: After listening, would you please answer some questions?1

19、 What did you hear on the tape?2 What can you learn from Qian Xuesen?(At this part the teacher may have the students present what they have heard on the tape and show their own opinion about what they have learned from him.

We will get to know another

21、 scientist, whose contribution is on botany. Can you guess who he is? S: Carl Linnaeus, maybe Darwin. T: You are right. Both scientists did study botany and devoted their time to the research. As we know, Carl Linnaeus developed his system about how to classify species. While Darwin wrote a book on

T: Now, read the instructions about the listening and choose which of the following statements mist closely describes what this listening passage is about

23、. Explain why the others are wrong. S: I think the third one is right. This is about a man who finds a flower and wants to know if it is a new species of flower. Because he is interested in biology and especially in the study of plants. What he wants to do is to study whether it is a new species. Th

24、e other two statements can not convey the study. Task 2 ListeningT: What you said is reasonable. Lets listen together to find whether your answer is right.

John Smith is discussing with Zhao Yang his research into the life and work of a mathematician called Leonhard Euler. Listen to the tape and fill in the

30、chart on the importance of Eulers work. Eulers achievementsExamplesNew symbols and termsOld areas of mathematicsNew area of mathematicsImportance(After listening, ask some students to fill in it. If many students feel it difficult, let them listen to it again. While doing it, the teacher can also as
