4、NG AND VOCABULARY合并為第一課時”閱讀課”。課文”The City of the Future” 是說明文，在它的幫助下，我們將嘗試著去了解我們未來的家，看看我們未來的城市將會是什么模樣，我們的生活又將會發生什么變化。當然，提前幾十年感受未來絕非易事。毫無疑問，一些預測將能實現，但是并非所有的”紙上談兵”都能成為現實。 城市聳入云天或橫向發展，大都市深入地下或漂浮在海面，有人認為這是烏托邦式的空想。但是不要忘了，在一個世紀前，移動電話還是不可思議的東西，談起登陸月球還要冒被人當作瘋子的危險。因此，還是讓我們試著想象一下未來吧！Period 2 Function課本4頁為第二課時
