Entertainment - Surprises at the studio

【教材分析】
这篇课文属于娱乐新闻题材，是一篇小说节选。故事的两位主人公分别为 Mandy 和
Angela，故事背景设置在一个摄影棚内，故事情节为 Mandy 和 Angela 参加了一个电视竞赛
类节目的录制，在录制过程中，发生了很多令人意想不到的事件，最终 Angela 意外地获得
了此次比赛的大奖。从本文的标题来看，surprise 为串起全文的关键词，全篇文章共出现了
“一位参赛者在节目录制前五分钟意外晕倒、Angela 获取参赛资格表现出色、Angela 赢得大
奖”三处 surprises。从本文的语言来看，尽管故事篇幅较长，但语言难度不高；从语言的结
构来看，故事采用顺叙的方式，出现了许多诸如“five minutes until we start filming, ten seconds,
twenty-five minutes later”等表示时间顺序的关键词，有助于学生理清故事发展的脉络；从
文章内容来看，主要以对话、细节描写和心理活动描写来刻画人物性格，浅显易懂。
【重点、难点分析】
1. 掌握阅读故事类体裁的基本要素———人物、环境、情节。
2. 理清故事发展的不同阶段，从而帮助学生把握文章主题，找出文章中出现的 surprises。
3. 体会作者针对不同人物所使用的不同动词，如 whisper，faint，shout, gasp, boom 等，从而
理解对不同人物性格的刻画。
【学情分析】
此节课的授课对象为高一年级平行班，相对于前四个重点特色班，不管是词汇量还是口
语表达都比较弱。而且，这是学生在高中阶段第一次接触故事类体裁的文章，如何阅读此类
体裁的课文，需要教师给与指导。由于本文是一篇小说节选，篇幅较长，基本以对话的形式
呈现，内容比较散，因此教师在授课时，需要让学生注意表示时间顺序的词、推动故事情节
发展的动词等来把握主题。
