新目標8年級下Unit8語言知識點講解和三套試題(新目標版八年級英語下冊教案教學設計)

一、學習目標：

1. 學習談論比較不同的東西或事情；

2. 學習用現在完成時表達曾經做過的事；

3. 學習如何給別人提出建議或意見。

二、學習重點難點：

1. How about … ?

What about … ?

這兩種句式都可以用來向他人提出建議，表示“……怎麼樣？” “你認為……如何？”，後面連接名詞或者動名詞（動詞ing形式）。

例如：

How about going to the movies? 去看電影怎麼樣？

What about a lovely dog? 一個可愛的小狗你認為如何？

2. Why don’t you …?

Why not …?

這兩種句式都是反問語氣，表示“為什麼不……”，也可以用來向別人提出建議，後面連接動詞原形。

例如：

Why don’t you go with us? = Why not go with us?

為何不跟我們一塊呢？

3. What’s the best gift he/she has ever received? “他/她曾經收到的最好的禮物是什麼？”

這裏“he/she has ever received”是一個現在完成時的句子，充當gift的定語從句，省略從句引導詞that。

4. compare v. 比較；相比

compare + 名 + with / to + 名

用於比較的情形時，通常用with, 用於比喻時常用to。

例如：

Compared with (to) her twin sister Jenny, Fanny is tall.

與她的孿生妹妹Jenny相比，Fanny高。

5. comment n. 評論；解釋；説明

例如：

He made few comments on that movie. 對於那部電影他沒説什麼。

No comment! （對於詢問）無可奉告！

6. personal adj. 私人的，個人的，親自的，針對個人的

例如：

a personal letter 私人信件

7. graduation n. 畢業；畢業典禮

graduate v. 畢業

例如：

8. name v. 叫做；稱作；取名

例如：

What are the parents going to name the baby?

那對父母打算給孩子取什麼名字？

Emily was named after her grandmother.

Emily是以她奶奶的名字命名的。

9. too…to… 太……而不能……

例如：

George is too young to go to school.

喬治還太小，不能上學。

Grandpa is too old to read by himself.

爺爺太老了，不能自己讀書看報了。

這一句型可用so…that…代替，而that後的從句多用否定句。

上面兩個句子可換成：

George is so young that he can’t go to school.

Grandpa is so old that he can’t read by himself.

10. pro n 贊成；贊成的理由

con n. 反對，反對的理由

例如：

pro-American 親美派

the pros and cons 正反兩面的意見

11. much too “太，過於……”，修飾形容詞副詞

too many “太多……”，修飾可數名詞

例如：

The street is much too crowded. 大街上太擠了。

Don’t spend too much money on clothing. 不要花太多的錢在衣着上。

There are too many monkeys for me to count. 猴子太多，我數不過來。

12. present n.禮物

present指禮物的一般性用語，gift是稍正式的用法。另外，present還可以作為形容詞，表示“現在的；出席的”。

這裏有一首小詩介紹給大家：

Tomorrow is a mystery,

Only today is a gift,

That’s why it is called present.

Ⅲ．閲讀理解。( A )In almost every big university in the United States football is a favorite sport. American football is not like soccer.

Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or throw it. If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points. This is called a touch-down. It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the team try to stop the man who has the ball. If the man does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team.

Each university wants its team to win. Thousands of people come to watch. They all yell for their favorite team. Young men and women called cheerleaders come on the field to help the people yell more. They dance and jump while they yell.

Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1st, the first day of the New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on television.

( ) 1. In American football players can ___.

A．only kick the ballB．only throw the ballC．only carry the ballD．kick, throw and carry the ball

( ) 2. If a team wants to get points, it has to move the ball ___.

A. 10 yards B. to the other end C. 40 yards D. away from its own end

( ) 3. Who are dancing and jumping while they yell?

A．The cheerleaders.B．All those who are watching the game.

C．The winners.D．The players of both sides.

( ) 4. Most teams play games in ___.A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter

( ) 5. When do the best teams play again?

A. At Christmas. B. Before the season ends. C. On New Year’s Day D. On the last day of season

( B )Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They became dropouts.

It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends-they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.

Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in the school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students.
