1.圆柱、圆锥、圆台的表面积与多面体的表面积一样,圆柱、圆锥、圆台的表面积也是围成它的各个面的面积和。利用圆柱、圆锥、圆台的展开图如图,可以得到它们的表面积公式:2.思考1:圆柱、圆锥、圆台的表面积之间有什么关系?你能用圆柱、圆锥、圆台的结构特征来解释这种关系吗?3.练习一圆柱的一个底面积是S,侧面展开图是一个正方体,那么这个圆柱的侧面积是( )A 4πS B 2πS C πS D 4.练习二:如图所示,在边长为4的正三角形ABC中,E,F分别是AB,AC的中点,D为BC的中点,H,G分别是BD,CD的中点,若将正三角形ABC绕AD旋转180°,求阴影部分形成的几何体的表面积.5. 圆柱、圆锥、圆台的体积对于柱体、锥体、台体的体积公式的认识(1)等底、等高的两个柱体的体积相同.(2)等底、等高的圆锥和圆柱的体积之间的关系可以通过实验得出,等底、等高的圆柱的体积是圆锥的体积的3倍.
(2)平均数受数据中的极端值(2个95)影响较大,使平均数在估计总体时可靠性降低,10天的用水量有8天都在平均值以下。故用中位数来估计每天的用水量更合适。1、样本的数字特征:众数、中位数和平均数;2、用样本频率分布直方图估计样本的众数、中位数、平均数。(1)众数规定为频率分布直方图中最高矩形下端的中点;(2)中位数两边的直方图的面积相等;(3)频率分布直方图中每个小矩形的面积与小矩形底边中点的横坐标之积相加,就是样本数据的估值平均数。学生回顾本节课知识点,教师补充。 让学生掌握本节课知识点,并能够灵活运用。
新知探究:向量的减法运算定义问题四:你能根据实数的减法运算定义向量的减法运算吗?由两个向量和的定义已知 即任意向量与其相反向量的和是零向量。求两个向量差的运算叫做向量的减法。我们看到,向量的减法可以转化为向量的加法来进行:减去一个向量相当于加上这个向量的相反向量。即新知探究(二):向量减法的作图方法知识探究(三):向量减法的几何意义问题六:根据问题五,思考一下向量减法的几何意义是什么?问题七:非零共线向量怎样做减法运算? 问题八:非零共线向量怎样做减法运算?1.共线同向2.共线反向小试牛刀判一判(正确的打“√”,错误的打“×”)(1)两个向量的差仍是一个向量。 (√ )(2)向量的减法实质上是向量的加法的逆运算.

1.观察(1)如图,在阳光下观察直立于地面的旗杆AB及它在地面影子BC,旗杆所在直线与影子所在直线的位置关系是什么?(2)随着时间的变化,影子BC的位置在不断的变化,旗杆所在直线AB与其影子B’C’所在直线是否保持垂直?经观察我们知道AB与BC永远垂直,也就是AB垂直于地面上所有过点B的直线。而不过点B的直线在地面内总是能找到过点B的直线与之平行。因此AB与地面上所有直线均垂直。一般地,如果一条直线与一个平面α内所有直线均垂直,我们就说l垂直α,记作l⊥α。2.定义:①文字叙述:如果直线l与平面α内的所有 直线都垂直,就说直线l与平面α互相垂直,记作l⊥α.直线l叫做平面α的垂线,平面α叫做直线l的垂面.直线与平面垂直时,它们唯一的公共点P叫做交点.②图形语言:如图.画直线l与平面α垂直时,通常把直线画成与表示平面的平行四边形的一边垂直.③符号语言:任意a?α,都有l⊥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:● …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.

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.
