新知探究国际象棋起源于古代印度.相传国王要奖赏国际象棋的发明者，问他想要什么.发明者说：“请在棋盘的第1个格子里放上1颗麦粒，第2个格子里放上2颗麦粒，第3个格子里放上4颗麦粒，依次类推，每个格子里放的麦粒都是前一个格子里放的麦粒数的2倍，直到第64个格子.请给我足够的麦粒以实现上述要求.”国王觉得这个要求不高，就欣然同意了.假定千粒麦粒的质量为40克，据查，2016--2017年度世界年度小麦产量约为7.5亿吨，根据以上数据，判断国王是否能实现他的诺言.问题1：每个格子里放的麦粒数可以构成一个数列,请判断分析这个数列是否是等比数列?并写出这个等比数列的通项公式.是等比数列,首项是1，公比是2，共64项. 通项公式为〖a_n=2〗^(n-1)问题2：请将发明者的要求表述成数学问题.

我们知道数列是一种特殊的函数，在函数的研究中，我们在理解了函数的一般概念，了解了函数变化规律的研究内容（如单调性，奇偶性等）后，通过研究基本初等函数不仅加深了对函数的理解，而且掌握了幂函数，指数函数，对数函数，三角函数等非常有用的函数模型。类似地，在了解了数列的一般概念后，我们要研究一些具有特殊变化规律的数列，建立它们的通项公式和前n项和公式，并应用它们解决实际问题和数学问题，从中感受数学模型的现实意义与应用，下面，我们从一类取值规律比较简单的数列入手。新知探究1.北京天坛圜丘坛，的地面有十板布置，最中间是圆形的天心石，围绕天心石的是9圈扇环形的石板，从内到外各圈的示板数依次为9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81 ①2.S，M，L，XL，XXL，XXXL型号的女装上对应的尺码分别是38,40,42,44,46,48 ②3.测量某地垂直地面方向上海拔500米以下的大气温度，得到从距离地面20米起每升高100米处的大气温度（单位℃）依次为25,24,23,22,21 ③

二、典例解析例3.某公司购置了一台价值为220万元的设备，随着设备在使用过程中老化，其价值会逐年减少.经验表明，每经过一年其价值会减少d(d为正常数）万元.已知这台设备的使用年限为10年，超过10年 ，它的价值将低于购进价值的5%，设备将报废.请确定d的范围.分析：该设备使用n年后的价值构成数列{an}，由题意可知，an＝an－1－d (n≥2). 即：an－an－1＝－d.所以{an}为公差为－d的等差数列.10年之内（含10年），该设备的价值不小于（220×5%=）11万元；10年后，该设备的价值需小于11万元．利用{an}的通项公式列不等式求解．解：设使用n年后，这台设备的价值为an万元，则可得数列{an}．由已知条件，得an＝an－1－d（n≥2）．所以数列{an}是一个公差为－d的等差数列.因为a1＝220－d，所以an＝220－d＋(n－1)(－d)＝220－nd. 由题意，得a10≥11，a11＜11. 即：{█("220－10d≥11" @"220－11d＜11" )┤解得19<d≤20.9所以，d的求值范围为19<d≤20.9

二、典例解析例10. 如图，正方形ABCD 的边长为5cm ，取正方形ABCD 各边的中点E,F,G,H, 作第2个正方形 EFGH，然后再取正方形EFGH各边的中点I,J,K,L，作第3个正方形IJKL ，依此方法一直继续下去. (1) 求从正方形ABCD 开始，连续10个正方形的面积之和；(2) 如果这个作图过程可以一直继续下去，那么所有这些正方形的面积之和将趋近于多少？分析：可以利用数列表示各正方形的面积，根据条件可知，这是一个等比数列。解：设正方形的面积为a_1，后续各正方形的面积依次为a_2, a_(3, ) 〖…,a〗_n,…，则a_1=25,由于第k+1个正方形的顶点分别是第k个正方形各边的中点，所以a_(k+1)=〖1/2 a〗_k,因此{a_n}，是以25为首项，1/2为公比的等比数列.设{a_n}的前项和为S_n（1）S_10=(25×[1-(1/2)^10 ] )/("1 " -1/2)=50×[1-(1/2)^10 ]=25575/512所以，前10个正方形的面积之和为25575/512cm^2.(2)当无限增大时，无限趋近于所有正方形的面积和

对于离散型随机变量，可以由它的概率分布列确定与该随机变量相关事件的概率。但在实际问题中，有时我们更感兴趣的是随机变量的某些数字特征。例如，要了解某班同学在一次数学测验中的总体水平，很重要的是看平均分；要了解某班同学数学成绩是否“两极分化”则需要考察这个班数学成绩的方差。我们还常常希望直接通过数字来反映随机变量的某个方面的特征，最常用的有期望与方差.二、 探究新知探究1.甲乙两名射箭运动员射中目标靶的环数的分布列如下表所示：如何比较他们射箭水平的高低呢？环数X 7 8 9 10甲射中的概率 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4乙射中的概率 0.15 0.25 0.4 0.2类似两组数据的比较,首先比较击中的平均环数,如果平均环数相等，再看稳定性.假设甲射箭n次，射中7环、8环、9环和10环的频率分别为：甲n次射箭射中的平均环数当n足够大时，频率稳定于概率，所以x稳定于7×0.1+8×0.2+9×0.3+10×0.4=9.即甲射中平均环数的稳定值(理论平均值)为9,这个平均值的大小可以反映甲运动员的射箭水平.同理，乙射中环数的平均值为7×0.15+8×0.25+9×0.4+10×0.2=8.65.

新人教版高中英语必修3Unit 1 Festivals and Celebrations-Reading and Thinking教学设计
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.

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:● …horse 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.

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.
