Unit1
本单元阅读文本的话题是美国学生亚当刚入高中所面临的挑战，旨在让同龄读者了解国外学生的
校园
生活和学习状况，探究和比较中外学生的校园生活，以积极乐观、阳光豁达的心态去
迎接新生活的挑战。
文本采用了叙事性文体，主人公亚当以第一人称口吻描述了自己刚进入高中所面临的挑战，内容贴近
学生生活，很能产生共鸣。标题
“The Freshman
Challenge”
是整个文本的浓缩提炼。正文内容按
“<

”
建
构，第一段为总起段，说明亚当进入高中第一周时所产生的困惑，其
余三段分别描述了亚当在选课、课外
活动和学习三方面碰到的挑战以及应对挑战的心态和
策略。
在进行文本教学设计时，要帮助学生梳理关于高中生活的话题类语言，其中包括有关选课以及与课外
活动相关的表达。
此外，
功能类语言，
如：
obviously, instead, still, but
等，
也是值得梳理的。
本文的主题段、
主题句与支撑性内容的关联，是很好的逻辑思维训练载体。此外，本课需首要关注的文化要素
是中外高中
新生校园生活的对比。学生可将亚当面临的挑战与自己可能遇到的挑战作对比
，在比较中感受文化异同。
Unit 1
The
Freshman Challenge
Hi, My name is Adam
and I
’
m a freshman at senior
high school. Going from junior high school to
senior
high school is a really big
challenge. The first week was a little confusing.
First,
I
had
to
think
very
carefully
about
which
courses
I
wanted
to
take.
The
school
adviser
helped
me
choose
the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry,
world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is
a very
difficult language, but I hope
to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser
recommended that I should sign up for
advanced literature because I like
English and I am good at it.
I had to choose extra-curricular
activities, too. I tried to join the school
football team, but the coach told me
that I didn
’
t
play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I
won
’
t quit.
I
’
ll find a way to improve
on my own
so that I can make the team
next year.
I joined a volunteer club
instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup
kitchen and hand out food to homeless
people in the community.
I know
I
’
ll have to study harder as
a senior high school student and get used to being
responsible for a lot
more.
I
’
m a bit worried about
keeping up with the other students in my advanced
course, and it
’
ll be quite
difficult
to
get
used
to
all
the
homework.
Still,
I
’
m
happy
to
be
here.
Studying
hard
isn
’
t
always
fun,
but
I
’
ll
be
well
prepared
for university or whatever else comes in the
future.
