【美文阅读】Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”， the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an indispensable(不可缺少的；绝对必要的) accompaniment(伴奏；伴随物); As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years, the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification(资格，授权；条件，限制) for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown (if indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the greatest hurry.To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications(指示；象征；表明) of mood as “pleasant”， “sad”， “lively”. The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into the next.Certain films had music especially composed for them. The most famous of these early special scores was that composed and arranged for DW Griffiths film Birth of a Nation, which was released in 1915.【诱思导学】1What was the film music like at first?_2Which musicians gradually paid attention to film music?_3How was the musical arrangement solved then? _【答案】1.The music was boring and there was no special relationship to the films.2.The violinist, the cellist, and the pianist, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed.3.Film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments.教师用书独具演示教师用书独具演示教学目标初步掌握本课文中的词汇，浅层次理解课文，了解相关的背景知识。课标解读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，对下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。教学地位本模块话题是“音乐”，阅读课文为音乐人物专访，文化角阅读文章介绍了美国的一项音乐奖(the Grammy Awards)。教师要帮助学生应用新学词汇、句型等基础知识，围绕话题开展听、说、读、写活动，促进学生正确看待音乐的功能，并通过音乐增长知识、丰富生活。新课导入建议Step 1.
