学习难点：掌握重点单词的用法

课前预习

使用说明与学法指导：

1. 树立跨文化交际意识

教材助读：

　　Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a method of propulsion that uses magnetic levitation to propel vehicles with magnets rather than with wheels, axles and bearings. With maglev, a vehicle is levitated a short distance away from a guide way using magnets to create both lift and thrust. High-speed maglev trains promise dramatic improvements for human travel if widespread adoption occurs.

课内探究

质疑探究：

1. Travelling at a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour, the train can complete the 30-kilometer journey in eight minutes.

列车以每小时400公里的速度行驶，八分钟就能完成这段30 公里的旅程。Travelling at a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour是现在分词短语在句子中作状语。

The Transrapid Maglev是世界上第一列用磁悬浮技术的高速列车。

using magnetic levitated technology是现在分词作定语。

at a speed of ...以...速度 （后加具体数字）

汽车以每小时60公里的速度行驶。

The bus goes at a speed of 60 kilometers an hour .
