Module9 Unit 2 Witnessing time
Period 1 Welcome to the unit
Teaching aims and demands:
1. To let students discuss historic sites and get them interested in famous historic sites.
2. To practice students’ spoken English
Difficult and key points:
1. To practise students’ spoken English
2. Names of historic sites.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1 Brainstorming
1. Can you name some famous Chinese historic sites you are familiar with?
The Forbidden City (Imperial Palace); The Summer Palace, or Garden of Ease and Harmony ;The Ming Tombs; The ruins of Yuanmingyuan
2. Nowadays many historic sites have been damaged, leaving only part of the ruins. Do you think it is necessary to rebuild them?
Step 2 Sharing information
Group work. Look at the four pictures at page 1. Let’s study them one by one and try to discuss some questions in groups of four.
Picture 1
When was the Colosseum built? (In the 1st century BC)
What was it used for? (It was an amphitheatre or arena that was used for displays of combat and wild-beast shows.)
How big is it? (It was designed to hold 50,000 spectators.)
Picture 2
What is Suzhou famous for? (It is famous for its splendid scenery, especially its classical gardens.)
Have you visited the classical gardens there? If so, what did you see?
Of all the gardens, which impressed you most? (The Lingering Garden impressed me most. Before I visited the garden, I couldn’t help wondering why it was given that name. Only then did I understand the real meaning. Everyone was so fascinated by the beautiful scenery there that they lingered in the garden and were reluctant to leave.)
Picture3
Where was the temple complex built? (In Cambodia)
When was it built? (In the early years of the 12th century.)
Why was it built? (It was built to honor the Hindu god Vishnu.)
Picture 4
When and where was the Cathedral built? (In Moscow between 1555 and 1560.)
Do you know anything special about the Cathedral?
(The Cathedral consists of nine individual churches, each of which is crowned by a unique tower. The central tower is surrounded by eight-point light for mankind.)
What do you feel when seeing the church? Are the towers in harmony with each other?
Step3: Discussion:
1. Do you know anything about the historic sites in the pictures?
2. Do you think it is a good idea to rebuild historic sites that have been damaged or destroyed? Why or why not?
3. Which modern buildings do you think will be famous in 1,000 years?
Sample answers:
1. Of all the four historic sites, I know the classical gardens of Suzhou best. I have been to Suzhou twice and paid a visit to the classical gardens. They are so well designed and built that they look really natural. Of all the gardens, the Humble Administrator’s Garden, the Lingering Garden, the Master-of-Nets Garden and the Mountain Villa are the most famous. Whenever you are there, you’ll be fascinated by Suzhou’s splendid scenery. It is no wonder that Suzhou is called the earthly paradise.
2. In my point of view, it is a really good idea to rebuild historic sites that have been damaged or destroyed. Historic sites reflect the history and culture of a particular period, which helps people remember what has happened before so that they will not forget the past. Besides, rebuilding historic sites may promote local tourism. In turn, this may improve the local environment and preserve its natural beauty. In conclusion, I strongly recommend historic sites be rebuilt.
3. I think that the National Stadium in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics will be famous in 1,000 years. There’s no doubt that the venue will be a landmark in the city of Beijing. Not only can it accommodate a maximum of 100,000 spectators, but also its nest-like appearance from the outside reminds people of getting back to nature. That’s why people gave it the nickname, “the Bird Nest”. Your first sight of the design will surprise you. It’s so unique that you cannot take your eyes off it.

現在分詞和過去分詞的用法
現在分詞和過去分詞主要差別在于：現在分詞表示“主動和進行”，過去分詞表示“被動和完成”(不及物動詞的過去分詞不表示被動，只表示完成)。分詞可以有自己的狀語、賓語或邏輯主語等。
1)分詞作狀語分詞在句子中作狀語，可以表示時間、條件、原因、結果、讓步、伴隨等。分詞做狀語時，它的邏輯主語與句子的主語一致。作狀語的分詞相當于一個狀語從句。
【例如】
Hearing the news, they all jumped with joy. Using what you know of word stems and word formations, you can make a guess at the meaning of a new word.
The students went out of the classroom, laughing and talking.
Accompanied by his friend, he went to the railway station.
Given better attention, the plants could grow better.
He looked tired and depressed, visibly disturbed by the news of his mother's illness.
分詞在句子中作狀語，使用何種分詞，要取決于分詞與句子主語的關系：主謂關系用現在分詞，動賓或被動關系用過去分詞。
【例如】
Not having enough hands, we turned to them for help.(we don't have enough hands).
Taught by mistakes and setbacks, we have become wiser and handled our affairs better. (we are taught/teach us) .
Inspired by the International, the working people of all countries have been fighting for their final liberation. (the working people were inspired/ inspire the working people)
____the earth to be flat, many feared that Columbus would fall off the edge. (CET-4 1996,6)
A)Having believed B) Believing C) Believed D) Being believed
本句意思為：相信地球是平的，許多人擔心哥倫布會從邊上掉下去。許多人與相信之間是主謂關系，及分詞與主語之間為主謂關系。因此，應用現在分詞，答案為B.
No matter how frequently ____, the works of Beethoven always attract large audiences. (CET-4 1995,6)
A) performing B) performed C) to be performed D) being performed
本句中貝多芬的作品被反復表演，可見分詞與句子的主語之間是被動關系，應該用過去分詞，故答案為B.
____as it was at such a time, his work attracted much attention. (CET-4 1996,1)
A) Being published B) Published C) Publishing D) To be published
本句中as引導的是讓步狀語從句，意思為：他的作品盡管在被這樣的時候出版，還是引起了關注，可見分詞與句子的主語之間是被動關系，應該用過去分詞，故答案為B.
2)“while ( when, once, until, if , though等連詞)＋分詞”結構現在分詞或過去分詞作狀語時，有時可以在分詞前加while，when, once, although, until, if等連詞。
【例如】
When leaving the airport, she waved again and again to us.
While waiting for the train, I had a long talk with my sister about her work..
Once recovered, he threw himself into his work and made every effort to do it well.
Although working very hard, he failed to pass the final exam.
If translated word by word, the passage will be difficult to understand.
3)分詞作定語時，單個的分詞通常放在被修飾的名詞之前，分詞短語一般置于所修飾的中心詞后面。現在分詞修飾的是發出該動作的名詞(即與名詞有主謂關系)，過去分詞修飾承受該動作的名詞(即與名詞是動賓關系)。
【例如】
We will go on with our experiment as soon as we get the added fund.
This is really an exhausting day to all of us!
We can see the part of the moon lighted by sunlight.
After a night spent in excitement and sleeplessness, I forced myself to take a long walk along the beach the next day.
More and more developing countries established strategic partnership with developed countries.
The young sitting between my sister and my brother is my cousin Jack..
As early as 1649 Ohio made a decision that free, tax-supported schools must be established in every town ____50 households or more. (CET-4 1998,1)
A) having B) to have C) to have had D) having had
后面由分詞做定語，而且town本身有50或以上人家，故town與分詞間為主謂關系，應該用現在分詞，答案為A。
4)分詞作賓語補足語現在分詞在see, watch, hear, observe, notice, feel, find, glimpse, glance等感官動詞和look at, listen to等短語動詞以及have, keep, get, catch, leave, set, start, send等使役動詞后面與名詞或代詞構成復合賓語，作賓語補語的成分。
【例如】
On the top of the hill, we could see smoke rising from the chimneys in the village.
The little boy sat beside the railway line and watched the trains roaring by.
We should not leave him wondering what he should do.
I am sorry to have kept you waiting for such a long time.
I caught him dozing off in class.
過去分詞可以在allow, ask, consider, desire, expect, feel, find, get, have, hear, imagine, keep, like, make, observe, order, permit, prefer, remember, request, require, see, urge動詞等后面作賓語補足語。
【例如】
After my encounter with her, I found myself greatly shaken.
You should keep her informed of what is going on here.
The teacher expected the students well prepared for the examination.
在動詞see, hear, feel, watch, notice，perceive，observe, listen to, look at后既可用現在分詞做補語,也可用不定式做補語。用現在分詞表示動作正在進行,用不定式表示的動作的全過程已經完成。
【例如】
I saw Mr. White get off a bus.
I saw Mr. White looking into a shop window.
--Do you hear someone knocking at the door?
--Yes, I did. I heard him knock three times.
5)分詞作表語
分詞作表語通常看作形容詞來用。現在分詞表示主語的性質，而且主語多為物；過去分詞表示主語的感受或狀態，主語多為人。
【例如】
The film “Pearl Harbor” is really exciting.
I am excited about it.
His response to the question was quite disappointing.
I felt disappointed at his response.
