The earthquake causes the Earth's surface vibration There are many reasons according to the causes of earthquakes, earthquakes can be divided into the following:

引起地球表层振动的原因很多，根据地震的成因，可以把地震分为以下几种：

1. Tectonic earthquake

(转 载于:wWw.SmHaIDA.cOM 海达 范文 网:earthquake是什么意思)

Since the depths of underground rock dislocation, caused by the rupture of the earthquake known as tectonic earthquake. Such earthquake occurred most often, the greatest damage, the earthquake accounted for about 90 percent of the world over.

1．构造地震

由于地下深处岩层错动、破裂所造成的地震称为构造地震。这类地震发生的次数最多，破坏力也最大，约占全世界地震的90%以上。

2. Volcanic earthquake

As the volcano, such as magmatic activity, such as gas explosions caused by the earthquake known as the volcanic earthquake. Only in areas of volcanic activity may occur before the volcanic earthquakes, such earthquakes around the world accounts for only about 7 percent of the earthquake.

2．火山地震

由于火山作用，如岩浆活动、气体爆炸等引起的地震称为火山地震。只有在火山活动区才可能发生火山地震，这类地震只占全世界地震的7%左右。

3. Earthquake collapse

As the top of underground caves or mine collapse caused by the earthquake known as the collapse of the earthquake. Such relatively small-scale earthquake, the number of little, if any, tend to occur in the limestone cave over the region or large-scale underground mining of the mining area.

3．塌陷地震

由于地下岩洞或矿井顶部塌陷而引起的地震称为塌陷地震。这类地震的规模比较小，次数也很少，即使有，也往往发生在溶洞密布的石灰岩地区或大规模地下开采的矿区。

4. Induced earthquake

As water, oil field activities such as water flooding caused by the earthquake known as the earthquake-induced. Such earthquake only in certain oil reservoir area or region.

4．诱发地震

由于水库蓄水、油田注水等活动而引发的地震称为诱发地震。这类地震仅仅在某些特定的水库库区或油田地区发生。

5. Artificial earthquake

Underground nuclear explosions, explosives, blasting and other human-induced ground vibration known as the artificial earthquake. Artificial earthquake was caused by human activities in the earthquake. Such as industrial blasting, the vibration caused by underground nuclear explosions in deep water in a high-pressure water and the large increases the pressure on the crust, sometimes induced earthquake. The seismic wave origin, called the source. Source on the ground of the vertical projection, called the epicentre. The depth of the epicentre to the source called focal depth. Usually focal depth of less than 70 km of the quake is shallow, deep in the 70-300 km is in the earthquake, and the depth is greater than 300 kilometres of deep earthquakes. Devastating earthquake is generally shallow earthquake, such as the Tangshan earthquake in 1976 the focal depth of 12 km.

5．人工地震

地下核爆炸、炸药爆破等人为引起的地面振动称为人工地震。 人工地震是由人为活动引起的地震。如工业爆破、地下核爆炸造成的振动；在深井中进行高压注水以及大水库蓄水后增加了地壳的压力，有时也会诱发地震。

地震波发源的地方，叫作震源。震源在地面上的垂直投影，叫作震中。震中到震源的深度叫作震源深度。通常将震源深度小于70公里的叫浅源地震，深度在70-300公里的叫中源地震，深度大于300公里的叫深源地震。破坏性地震一般是浅源地震。如1976年的唐山地震的震源深度为12公里。

一．教学内容分析

本单元话题为“地震”，主要描写了1976年唐山大地震，各项语言活动也都是围绕地震展开。本单元共分八个部分。

Warming-up 部分通过两张图片引出话题“一旦地震发生，将会造成怎样的危害”，为后面的主题作了一个热身运动。

Pre-reading 部分设置了两个开放性问题，目的是增加学生的生活常识，提高他们的应变能力。这部分为接下来的阅读作了很好的铺垫，学生可通过套乱，参阅有关地震的书籍并运用一些生活常识来回答这两个问题。Reading 部分具体描写了1976年唐山大地震的震前、震中和震后。作者详细描述了地震来临前的一些不正常的自然现象及动物的反常表现；地震的来势汹汹并在顷刻间将整座城市夷为平地；震后人们勇敢面对现实并及时实施抢救和重建工作。Comprehending 部分包括三组练习，主要目的是为了帮助学生更好地理解Reading部分的文章。

Learning about Language 部分分为两个部分：Discovering useful words and expressions 和Discovering useful structures.第一部分要求学生在把握文章的基础上，掌握重点词汇的词义及时用，这更注重培养学生运用上下文猜测词义的能力。其次还对一些复杂的数字读法进行了检测。第二部分则结合文章学习定语从句。

Using Language 部分分为Reading，Writing and Speaking；Listening和Writing。Reading，Writing and Speaking 包括读一篇邀请函，写一份演讲稿和关于一套新唐山邮票的Little talk。Listening 部分讲述了一位地震幸存者的故事，并根据听力材料进行正误判断和回答问题，旨在培养学生获取细节的能力，并通过听来模仿标准的语音和语调。Writing部分要求学生报纸写一篇新闻报道，学习如何按照规范的步骤进行写作，如选择适当地标题和组织语言等。另外这一部分也培养学生写作时注意标题、主旨大意和细节。

Summing up部分帮助学生整理、巩固本单元所学到的知识，包括学到的关于地震的知识，有用的动词、名词、表达方式和新的语法项目。Learning Tip部分就听英语方面给出了一些建议，建议学生多听广播或电视里的英语节目.

二．教学目标和要求

根据《英语新课程标准》关于总目标的具体描述，结合高一学生实际和教材内容，我们将教学目标分为语言知识、语言技能、学习策略、情感态度、文化意识五个方面。

四．课时安排

本单元共分为四个部分，具体课时教师可根据自身教学实践进行适当地安排和调整。 Part1：Warming-up和listening.通过游戏、介绍和VIDEO等手段对地震知识进行适当了解的基础上，引入对San Francisco地震的学习，从而进入听力部分。

Part2：Pre-reading, Reading, Comprehending and Learning about Language.读前的两个问题：第一个问题问学生在危机情况下会带什么，有利于很好的激起学生的兴趣和调动课堂气氛，由此则可过渡到第二个问题对地震前兆的了解，从而自然地引入到对唐山大地震的学习。在对唐山大地震震前、震中和震后的学习中，可结合今年唐山大地震30周年的报道，使学生进一步了解唐山大地震和现今的唐山，形成对比和强烈的震撼，从而更好地了解学习唐山人民勇敢面对自然灾害，积极进行灾后重建的精神。其次，通过对文章的学习，了解新闻的特点，为后面的写作做准备。重点词汇和语法的学习可结合文章进行，并配以适当的练习。

Part3：Writing由提前让学生完成的关于唐山的新闻写作来引入对写作的学习。通过对学生习作的评析，来引出新闻写作中应注意的事项，并通过适当的练习来进行巩固，再让学生对自身的习作进行修改。

Part4：Using Language(Reading, Writing and Speaking),主要学习SPEECH演讲稿的写作。通过对演讲稿的了解、注意事项和名人演讲的感受，让学生学会如何恰当地写演讲稿。

篇五：Earthquake说课稿

必修一 Unit 4 Reading —— A Night The Earth Didn't Sleep

说课稿（Teaching plan）

Made by Merry（武邑中学王海娥）

9th -May-2012

Good afternoon, honorable judges:

I’m very glad to stand here to give my presentation. My presentation today consists of 4 parts:1. The

analysis of teaching material. 2.Teaching method 3. Teaching procedures; 4. Design of the blackboard. PartⅠ The analysis of teaching material

My teaching material is “A Night the Earth Didn't Sleep” taken form Unit 5 of Mudule 1. The reading part is the highlight of this unit. It mainly talks about the biggest earthquake happened in Tangshan in 1976. It described the process of the earthquake in details, including the following parts(before the earthquake, during the earthquake and after the earthquake).

Part II Teaching and learning methods

In order to achieve the teaching aims, I adopt task-based and student-centered Approaches .Two

days before the lesson, I give the students tasks . In order to finish the tasks smoothly ,the students adopt the inquiry and cooperative learning methods to work in five groups with two leaders and other groupmates.They are separetely in charge of the following topics: 1.Why do earthquakes happen?/2.What shall we do during the earthquakes?/3.What shall we do after the earthquakes?/4.Imagine we are given a job to build a new city,what shall we do?/5.What did the government do after the earthquake?

Part III Teaching procedures (45minutes)

Step one: Leading-ing

In this part some pictures will be displayed to introduce various disasters. And then I will introduce the topic –earthquake directly. This is impressive, and it is designed to enable the students to learn some additional words. and arouse arouse desire for research.

教师活动：通过对话式的导入和讨论以及课前布置的预习任务，引起学生对本单元

中心话题—―地震‖的兴趣。教师进而播放一段地震的视频让学生更直观

的感受地震给人类打来的巨大灾害。

学生活动：

1、观看幻灯上的以及课本中的各种自然灾害的图片，直观了解各种各样的自然灾

害给人类带来的损害。

2、学生报告（Students reports）：通过课前学生预习、报刊、网上查阅各种资料，

学生展示他们了解的地震。比如震前，震后，震中都会发生哪些事情。

设计意图：

1) 这个单元涉及的是地震，学生之前对地震的相关知识只了解，通过课前查阅

和视频可以丰富学生相关常识。

2) 通过图片展示和学生报告，了解学生主动学习情况，使学生在实际的学习不

断改进学习方式，并由此促进课堂学习，并由此引出本节课话题: ----

Earthquakes.

Step two:Fast-reading

Let students skim the first and the last sentences to get the general idea of each paragraph and check their prediction by information matching.

教师活动：布置带任务型的速度，设置的问题不宜过难，本单元的文章结构很清晰，

让学生把文章分成三部分有利于让学生更好的把握文章的整体结构从

而可以促进他们阅读理解和写作能力的提高。

设计意图：通过预测和快速浏览，了解课文内容大意，提高学生预测能力及快速阅读

能力

Step three: Careful- reading

10 minutes’ intensive reading to get detailed information: students will read each paragraph silently or aloud and finish differently designed exercises: for example, the signs, blank-filling with data and what we can learn from it.

教师活动：然后通过为学生播放一段简短的地震前兆的视频以使学 生弥补或丰富这

方面的常识且对学生背诵文章中有关地震前兆的经典句子也有很大帮助。

这样做也可以帮助学生认识到这个道理：如果我们了解并认识地震前的预

兆，就能提前做好准备，让更多的人获得求生的机会。

学生活动：结合相关图片让学生完成细节填充的任务以辅助学生培养阅读理解中的细节题的找信息的能

力。帮助学生提高找信息的速度，树立解题的信心。

My students are supposed to join in a heated disscussion about how to save themselves in the this part, which is aimed to let the students know what a correct attitude towards a disaster is and what we should do in a disaster for ourselves and for the other people. Then they begin to present their results.

After the five groups’ presenting ,the Key point and the difficult point are solved by presenting the results.Let the students know what a correct attitude towards a disaster is and what we should do in a disaster for ourselves and for the other people. And then I will present some pictures in relationto the rescue during the earthquake and the recovery after the earthquake, through this lesson,the students can know our Party is great , the Chinese people are lovely and strong-willed,and they should try their best to Step four: Post – reading

help the people in disaster areas.

教师活动：引导学生讨论如何在地震发生后逃生，通过学生讨论让学生更深刻的掌握相关知识。并让学

生参加一个小游戏以检查学生们的讨论效果。此外作为对本单元主题的升华，鼓励学生乐
