课件40张PPT。The discovery included six complete skulls of Peking Man,12 skull fragments,15 mandibles(下颌骨)，157 teeth and some sections of broken femurs(大腿骨)，shinbones(胫骨)，and upper arm bones belonging to more than 40 individuals of different ages and sexes.In addition 100,000 fragments of stone tools were found together with sites used for fire and burnt bones and stones.Peking Man created a unique Old Stone Culture which had much influence to the Old Stone Culture of North China.Stone tools are the principal relics of this remote culture.Also discovered in Zhoukoudian are stone points，a new production tool then，and bone articles made and used by Peking Man.Found in the caves were such tools as the larger end of an antler(鹿角，茸角) that had been used as a hammer and the sharp end of an antler used as a digging tool.The use of fire was a milestone of the development of civilization and the discovery of Peking Man has pushed back the time that man first used it by tens of thousands of years.The largest ash pile discovered in the caves is six metres thick.Fire allowed people to eat cooked food instead of raw food and promoted the development of the brain and improved health.With his rough tools and simple living conditions，Peking Man created a unique and very ancient culture.教师用书独具演示●教学目标 本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，为下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。●教学地位 本单元的主题是考古学，涉及到历史和人类学，语言知识和语言技能都是围绕这一主题设计的。具体涉及“周口店遗址的北京猿人”、“早期人类生活方式”、“如何判断遗址年份”、“秦始皇兵马俑”和“埃及金字塔”等，帮助学生增长考古学知识，更好地了解早期人类的生活方式和人类文明的发展进程。 ●新课导入建议 根据教材P37“读前”(pre-reading)呈现的北京猿人的头盖骨图片，让学生通过谈论我们今天使用的生活用品及生活方式猜测几十万年前北京猿人可能使用的生活用品和生活方式，将学生的思维引入“史前人类生活”，为下文阅读做好铺垫。演示结束 Ⅰ.篇章结构 阅读P38－39Reading部分，然后完成下列表格【答案】　1.the Zhoukoudian caves　2.other objects 3．keep warm　4.Layers of ash　5.wild animals　6.Needles　7.sharpened　8.smaller scrapers　9.made it soft　10.seashellsⅡ.语篇理解 阅读P38－39Reading部分，选择最佳答案 1．The main idea of the text is about the _____ of the earliest people in the Zhoukoudian caves.
