1、视觉图象法:少数民族的风土人情对我们汉族的孩子来说不那么了解。为了使他们更直接地了解到新疆柯尔克孜族人们的生活习惯,我运用电脑软件制作了一些柯尔克孜族的风情画面,给学生视听结合,避免枯燥的说教形式,使本来抽象的 内容变得具体形象化。2、对比欣赏法:在了解这个民族的风土人情时,我运用画面表格形式将新疆几个民族的人物作对比,从而使学生更清楚的了解这个民族的风土人情、歌曲特点。在教学中我还运用了创设情景、兴趣引入法、感性到理性等方法 。音乐家修海林认为“音乐审美必须要求体验到音乐的意境”,在这一课,我充分运用了多媒体教学手段,尽量让学生体验到音乐的意境,从屏幕上看到新疆的风土人情关系,听到新疆民歌不同的风格特点。

7.我国人力资源开发利用面临四大挑战在全面建设小康社会进程中,我国人力资源开发与利用面临着以下四个方面严峻挑战。(1)劳动力供给高峰的到来加剧了劳动力供求总量矛盾。持续的经济增长和人口计划生育控制,使得我国人口再生产在不到30年的时间内完成了从“高出生率、低死亡率、高自然增长率”的类型到“低出生率、低死亡率、低自然增长率”类型的转变,人口在日增长率已经连续数年低于千分之十。然而,庞大的人口基数及其低速增长仍对中国未来经济增长和社会发展带来巨大的就业压力,大量预测表明,未来20年是中国人口数量增长和劳动力供给的高峰时期。20世纪90年代以来,中国劳动年龄人口比重(16—59岁年龄组)由1990—1996年期间的61%~62%上升到1999年的63.2%。这种趋势将会持续到2020年左右达到峰值,直到老龄化进程抵消了数量增长效应,劳动年龄人口的比重才会趋于下降。到2020年,中国劳动年龄人口将由2000年的8.61亿上升到10.04亿,平均每年新增劳动力715万人。
南极大地的水陆交接处,全是滑溜溜的冰层或者尖锐的冰棱。企鹅没有可以用来攀爬的前臂,也没有可以飞翔的翅膀,如何从水中上岸?纪录片《深蓝》展示,企鹅在将要上岸之时,要从海面潜入海中,沉潜到适当的深度,借用水的浮力,迅猛向上,飞出一道弧线,落于陆地之上。企鹅的沉潜是为了蓄势,看似笨拙,却富有成效。人生又何尝不是如此?沉潜绝非沉沦,而是勇敢、智慧、自强。如果我们在困难面前能沉下气来,不被“冰棱”吓倒,不被浮华迷惑,专心致志,自强不息,积聚力量,并抓住恰当的机会反弹向上,毫无疑问,我们就能成功登陆!反之,总是随波浮沉,或者怨天尤人,注定就会被命运的风浪所玩弄,直至精疲力竭。结合上述材料,运用《生活与哲学》知识对“价值观是人生的重要向导,有价值观的人生才是更美的人生”加以评析。7、有两名畜牧兽医专业毕业的大学生应聘到农村养猪场担任技术总监后,大力推广使用生态养猪法和中草药防疫技术,使养猪场步入了良性发展轨道。
从右图“进出口贸易占全国的比重”可看出,珠三角地区的外向型经济特征很明显,但正在缓慢的发生转变;而长三角地区的外贸依存度在10年内迅速增长。由此可见,珠三角地区城市化过程,是伴随着该地特殊的经济发展相对自发地快速推进,缺乏宏观而理性的规划。阅读通过此阅读材料,使学生大致了解以下内容深圳作为珠江三角洲地区迅速城市化的一个典型代表,到目前为止,对其未来发展道路的构想,主要集中在:如何联合和依托临近区域、联合优势资源,扩大发展空间;如何明确功能,重新定位,合理分工,突出特色。活动长江三角洲地区城市的协调发展1.读图4.28,如果按人口规模>500万人、100万~500万人、50万~100万人、20万~50万人和<20万人将城市分为五级的话,分析长江三角洲地区城市的等级规模结构是否合理,这对其城市的协调发展有何影响?

反思感悟用基底表示空间向量的解题策略1.空间中,任一向量都可以用一个基底表示,且只要基底确定,则表示形式是唯一的.2.用基底表示空间向量时,一般要结合图形,运用向量加法、减法的平行四边形法则、三角形法则,以及数乘向量的运算法则,逐步向基向量过渡,直至全部用基向量表示.3.在空间几何体中选择基底时,通常选取公共起点最集中的向量或关系最明确的向量作为基底,例如,在正方体、长方体、平行六面体、四面体中,一般选用从同一顶点出发的三条棱所对应的向量作为基底.例2.在棱长为2的正方体ABCD-A1B1C1D1中,E,F分别是DD1,BD的中点,点G在棱CD上,且CG=1/3 CD(1)证明:EF⊥B1C;(2)求EF与C1G所成角的余弦值.思路分析选择一个空间基底,将(EF) ?,(B_1 C) ?,(C_1 G) ?用基向量表示.(1)证明(EF) ?·(B_1 C) ?=0即可;(2)求(EF) ?与(C_1 G) ?夹角的余弦值即可.(1)证明:设(DA) ?=i,(DC) ?=j,(DD_1 ) ?=k,则{i,j,k}构成空间的一个正交基底.
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 topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences. During the reading part, it introduces the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which can give students a good example to imitate. Students not only learn the festival, but touch and feel the Inner Mongolian’s character, the spirit and cultural atmosphere, which can help students form the cultural awareness and learn to enjoy and value the diversity of Chinese culture.Concretely, the dairy tells the experience that the author spent the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with his/her friend. The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience. Because this part is a travel journal, we must guide students pay more attention to these details: 1. use the first person. 2. use the past tense to tell the past thing and use the present or future tense to describe the scenery. 3. use the timeline to tell the development. 4. be careful for the author’s psychology, emotion and feeling, etc.1.

1. 这个寓言是一个关于一位国王古寓言。 The fable is an old fable about a king.2.作者用这个故事让读者对于社区的问题负有个人责任的必要印象深刻。The author used the story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community.3. 这个故事十分成功的实现了它的目的。The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose.Step 7 WritingPlease write a review of the story according the outline above.The fable is an old fable about a king who thought his people are lazy, so he put a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waited to see if anyone will try to move it.The author used this story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. 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.

⑦在我看来, 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.
