一、 教学分析
（一）教学内容分析
与初中阶段主要重视英语知识和语法的学习有所不同，高中阶段侧重培养阅读能力，需要学生能把学到的知识灵活运用到对语言、文章的理解中，不断提高分析判断能力、逻辑思维能力和语言运用能力。本单元的话题是“地震基础知识(basic knowledge about earthquakes)”和“遇到灾难时如何自救以及帮助别人(how to protect oneself and help others in disasters)”。具体涉及地震的成因、预兆、地震造成的损失、地震时的应急救生以及震后的救援等内容。本课是本单元的阅读部分，这是是一篇新闻报道，详细介绍了1976年唐山大地震前的预兆、地震造成的城市建筑和人畜损失以及震后人们勇敢面对现实并及时实施抢救和重建工作的情况，从而了解学习到唐山人民勇敢面对自然灾害，积极进行灾后重建的精神。其次，通过对文章的学习，了解新闻的特点，为后面的写作做准备。
二．学生分析
本人所教班级是高一（1），属于比较优秀的学生，由52名同学组成。虽具备了一定的听说读写能力，但掌握的词汇量较少，阅读能力还有待提高。因此，本单元侧重训练学生的阅读技巧：略读、细读、总结归纳内容的能力、猜测词义的能力。
