教材分析：想象以事实为依据，科幻小说离不开当时的科技发明和科学水平。正是因为想象是建立在现实基础上的，所以它对事物具有一定的预见性。随着时光推移，科技不断发达，人类征服自然的能力越来越强，曾经的幻想逐步会变成现实。所以，学生要热爱科学、敢于想象、富于创新。

Period 1 Warming up Speaking (Listening 和science fiction没有直接的联系，故省略)
Teaching Aims:
1.Learn about some scientific facts by doing a small science quiz.
2.Develop the students’ speaking ability by talking about science fiction using the useful expressions for beliefs and doubts.
Teaching Important Points:
Master the useful expressions for beliefs and doubts.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1 Lead-in and make predictions
T.Please look at the unit title “Fact and Fantasy” (fantastic)and make predictions: what will be talked about in this unit?
S. It will talk about some facts and fantasy.
S. It will talk about the relationship between the fact and the fantasy.
T. That is to say , fantasy is based on the fact. Now let’s learn about some scientific facts.
Step2. Warming up 2
T: Now, I’ll give you five minutes to write your answers on your book. After a while, let’s check your answers and tell me how many points you get.
Suggested answers:
1.Mount Qomolangma;8848.13 m 2.Mariana Trench; in the west of the Pacific
3.the Nile River;6 600 kilometers
4.380 000 kilometers; more than 5 . 6 000 000 kilometers
5.150 000 000 kilometers 6.7 500 K
7.40 000 kilometers 8.about 2~200 kilometers per hour;
about 900 kilometers per hour; about 17.6000kilometers per second

Step3. T. Do you often have some fantastic ideas? We know a scientist should have a quality of imagination, it is the same with a writer. The French writer JulesVerne liked reading books about science and technology and used fantastic ideas that he got from the books and wrote many famous science fictions ( stories and novels about imaginary people and events). Now let’s know about Jules Verne. (Warming up 1)
Jules Verne (1828-1905), French writer and pioneer（father） of science fiction, whose best known works today are Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea(1870)Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
Journey to the Center of the Earth(1864)
Now, look at the covers of the two books written by Jules Verne.
The book “20 000 Leagues under the sea”.It mainly tells us a story in which Dr Aronnax,his servant and a Canadian whale hunter were kept as prisoners by Captain Nemo and then went on a voyage across the oceans by the Nautilus.
The book “Journey to the Center of the Earth” describes what two men experienced after entering the centre of the earth through a chimney in an extinct volcano,which lies in Ireland.
Step4 Speaking
Make full use of your imagination to create a fantasy based on the present science and technology，using some of the useful expression。For example：
Space travel
A: I don’t believe it is possible for man to reach Mars.
B: Why not? Two hundred years ago nobody thought it was possible to talk with his relative living far away.
A: To reach Mars has more difficulty than for us to talk with our relatives living far away.
B: I’m certain that we’ll be able to develop.
Creatures from outer space
A: Do you believe that creatures exist on other planets?
B: Yes, I do, even though we have no evidence now.
A: Really? Tell me your reasons.
B: There are so many stars. I’m sure there are creatures existing on other planets.
Oral practice：1 Life in 3098 2 Young forever
Step 5 language points
1. distance n. 距离，远处，远方
eg: I don’t know the distance from Beijing to Shanghai
● 其形容词形式是distant, 意思是“遥远的, 远亲的，疏远的”， eg:
He is my distant relative
常用搭配：in the distance 在远处，远距离
at a distance 隔开一点， from a distance 从远处
eg: You can see the ancient ruins in the distance.
The picture looks better at a distance.
● 问“距离是多少”时，用what ,不能用how far,类似的还有 the price, the population, the speed等。Eg:
What is the distance between the sun and the earth?
= How far is it from the sun to the earth?
What is the price of the bag? = How much is the bag?
What is the population of China? = How many people are there in China?
● The distance between them is great (不能用far修饰distance)
2. Doctors may find a way to keep us young forever(P10)
to keep us young forever 是不定式做后置定语
★在 chance, way, opportunity, time 等名词后，既可用不定式，又可用“介词+动词”作定语， 如：
I am glad to have the opportunity to talk to you/ of talking to you.
★在 ability, resolution, tendency 等名词后，通常用不定式做后置定语。如：
Does he have the ability to do the work?
★当被修饰的名词前有序数词修饰时，该名词的后置定语也用不定式而不是“介词+动词”
Antonio Gaudi is the first one to understand that
★而在 habit, idea, intention, method, objection 等名词后，通常只跟“介词+动词”
I have the habit of taking a nap after lunch.

Period 2 Extensive reading
Teaching Aims:
1.Learn and master the useful words and phrases.
2. Practice the skills of reading and help students to read some novels.
Teaching Methods:
1.Discussion before reading to make students learn more about some scientific facts.
2.Fast-reading method to get the general idea of the passage.
3.Careful-reading method to get the detailed information in the text.
4.Discussion after reading to help the students finish the tasks in Post-reading.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1 Lead in
T: In the last period, we know that fantasy is based on the facts. Now, we talked about science fiction. There is a general agreement that science fiction as a genre(体裁)didnnot come into being until about the time of the Industrial Revolution. The mid- nineteenth century saw many discovries, inventions and developments in various branches of science. It was also the first time in history that many of these inventions were described in books and newspapers , which were printed in large numbers shortly after discoveries were made, and which, through public libraries(which were also a new thing) to many readers.
Ok, let’s clearn more about scientific facts. Look at the pictures on page 11.
(Pre-reading 中的1、2、4 可作。3省略。4尤为重要。)
Here are three great inventions. Who can say when the inventions in the pictures were made?
Picture 1: It was invented in the early years of the 20th century.
(Electricity was discovered in 1600 by Gilbert. Electricity serves people in many fields and
is used for light, heating, power, etc.)
Picture 2: Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 1879
Picture 3: In 1769 James Watt built a steam-powered boat.
Make prediction:
Look at the title of the passage, from the word “father” we may guess that the article is about a person;
Look at the pictures on next page, we may guess that the article is about sth. unusual and dangerous.
We may ask: Who is Jules Verne? What is science fiction? What are the pictures about?
