It lies at the River Thames which is quiet and beautiful. Like Beijing, London is a busy city, people are very friendly and helpful. I' ve made some good friends here, they teach me English. The most interesting thing about London is the weather, it is really changeable so I always have an umbrella in my bag. There are many places of interest and I went to the British Museum and Hyde Park last month. Next time if you come here, I can be your guide. Wish you good luck. Yours Wang Lin
(17).下面是某教师的教学活动片段，根据要求回答问题。 某教师在讲授“Whatcanyoudo”一课时，是这样进行教学的。 (1)教师用媒体播放歌曲“Goodmorningtoyou”，播放完毕后向所有学生问好。 (2)首先复习一些学过的短语，并播放相关的幻灯片。 (3)教师借助幻灯片创设情境并分别引入教学材料。 (4)结课前，播放所学课文的音频，再次回顾本次课的内容。 问题： (1)该教师采用了什么形式进行课堂教学? (2)请依据新课程理念，谈谈这种形式在小学英语教学中的优缺点。
(1)该教师应用的是利用多媒体进行教学的方式。 【出题思路】本题主要考查小学英语课堂教学的相关知识。 (2)随着现代教育技术和教学思想的发展，多媒体辅助教学在英语教学中发挥着越来越重要的作用。其优点有： ①多媒体信息技术集图形、文字、动画和声音于一体，创造出主动、形象的教学环境，能够促使学生积极思维，主动参与语言实践，可以大大提高教学效率。 ②多媒体教学更具直观性和形象性。声情并茂、动静结合、情景交融的感官刺激，使学生身临其境，从而激发学生学习的兴趣和求知欲。 ③能大幅度地增加学生练习的数量，突出教学的重点，节省教学时间。 ④教师寓情于景的课堂教学，培养了学生热爱生活的性情，激发了学生情感。 其缺点是： ①表现形式单一，小学生活泼爱动，一直使用多媒体教学会使学生大脑疲劳。 ②教师过多依赖多媒体课件教学，会失去对教学应有的控制角色。 ③多媒体教学信息量大、节奏快，学生只能被动地接受授课内容，缺乏思维的过程。 ④课堂过多依赖多媒体课件，教师与学生之间的互动性会减少，难以发挥学生的主体作用，不利于师生关系的培养。
(18).根据下列教学信息和学生概况，设计一节英语课的教学方案。 该方案应突出以下要点： ?teachingobjectives ?teachingcontents ?keyanddifficultpoints ?majorstepsandtimeallocation ?activitiesandjustifications 教学时间：45分钟 教学信息：本节课的教学内容是有关各种情绪的单词教学，学生在此以前已经学过“happy”一词，在此基础上，再学习另外五个有关情绪的单词，如tired，angry，excited，sad，bored等。 学生概况：某城镇普通小学六年级学生，班级人数30人。多数学生已经达到《义务教育英语课程标准(2011年版)》二级水平。学生对于“Howdoyoufeel?”已经有了较好的掌握。学生课堂参与积极性一般。
One possible version： 【出题思路】本题主要考查教学设计能力。 Teaching objectives Knowledge and skill objectives: Students will be able to grasp these words : tired, angry, excited, sad, bored.

Activity 2:Invite several groups to come to the front to make kinds of face and let others answer. Reason:Activity 1 can help students practice what they have just learned and activity 2 can cultivate students' awareness of cooperation and competition.
