情景导入
周五晚上写完作业，一家人围着电视争遥控器：爸爸要看新闻，妈妈想看访谈节目，你想看动画电影。用英语"抢台"，你得先会问：
Do you want to watch a game show?（你想看游戏节目吗？）What do you think of talk shows?（你觉得访谈节目怎么样？）
回答可以旗帜鲜明：I love them! 也可以委婉吐槽：I can't stand them!（我受不了它们！）本单元我们学各类节目的英文说法，练习表达喜好和观点。
核心词汇
| 单词/短语 | 词性 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| sitcom | n. | 情景喜剧 | Sitcoms always make me laugh. |
| game show | n. | 游戏节目 | This game show is exciting. |
| talk show | n. | 访谈节目 | Dad likes watching talk shows. |
| soap opera | n. | 肥皂剧 | Mom follows a soap opera. |
| news | n. | 新闻（不可数） | The news is on at seven. |
| educational | adj. | 有教育意义的 | The program is educational. |
| can't stand | 短语 | 无法忍受 | I can't stand this show. |
表达喜好程度的阶梯：love（超爱）→ like（喜欢）→ don't mind（不介意）→ don't like（不喜欢）→ can't stand（无法忍受）
句型与语法
核心句型：
- What do you think of talk shows? — I don't mind them.
- Do you want to watch the news? — Yes, I do. / No, I don't.
- What do you plan to watch tonight? — I plan to watch Days of Our Past.
语法点一：动词 + 不定式（to do）
want、plan、hope、decide、expect、learn 后面接 to + 动词原形：
- I want to watch a movie tonight.
- She plans to see a new cartoon this weekend.
语法点二：mind / stand + 动名词（doing）
- I don't mind watching soap operas.
- I can't stand waiting for ads.
语法点三：疑问词 + 不定式
- I don't know what to watch tonight. （不知道看什么。）
听说训练
节目品鉴会（三人一组，轮流发表观点）：
- What do you think of game shows? — I love them! They're relaxing and fun.
- What do you plan to watch this weekend? — I plan to watch a documentary about the Liangzhu ruins with my parents.
跟读要点：want to 在口语中常连读成 "wanna" 的音，但书面必须写 want to；think of 注意 /θ/ 咬舌音。
辨析对比
① What do you think of...? 的同义句
- What do you think of the show? = How do you like the show? （注意：不能说 How do you think of...）
② expect / plan / decide 的共同点
三个词都接 to do：expect to win（期待赢）、plan to go（计划去）、decide to stay（决定留下）——归类记忆，考试不慌。
文化角
美国经典动画形象米老鼠（Mickey Mouse）1928 年在动画片 Steamboat Willie 中首次亮相，是世界上最早的有声动画之一。人们喜欢他，是因为他像普通人一样会遇到麻烦，却总是乐观面对，尽力而为（always try his best）。中国的动画也在走向世界——从《大闹天宫》到《哪吒》，用英语向外国朋友介绍它们，是很棒的文化输出。
易错点
- How do you think of...?：❌ → What do you think of...? 或 How do you like...? ✅
- want 后接 doing：I want watching TV. ❌ → I want to watch TV. ✅
- news 当复数用：The news are interesting. ❌ → The news is interesting. ✅（news 不可数）
中考真题
— What do you plan ______ this evening?
— I'd like to watch a documentary about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
A. watch B. watching C. to watch D. watched
✏️ 点击查看解答
答案：C
解析：本题考查动词 plan 的搭配。plan 后接动词不定式 to do，构成 plan to do sth.（计划做某事），故选 C。
A 是动词原形，B 是动名词，D 是过去式，都不能直接跟在 plan 后面。同类考点：want / hope / decide / expect + to do，建议打包记忆。
考点
- "动词 + to do / doing"的搭配是中考单选和语法填空的高频考点：want/plan/hope/decide 接 to do，mind/enjoy/finish 接 doing；
- What do you think of...? 与 How do you like...? 的同义转换常出现在补全对话题中；
- 写作应用："我最喜欢的节目/电影"是常见作文题，学会用 educational、relaxing、wonderful 等评价词让文章有观点、有态度。
诵读 Read Aloud
I'm a middle school student in Hangzhou, and my favorite TV program is a documentary series called Charming China. I plan to watch every episode of it. Why do I love it? First, it is educational. Last week, it showed the story of the West Lake and the Grand Canal, and I learned a lot about my own city. Second, the pictures are wonderful, and the music is relaxing. My father loves talk shows, and my mother can't stand soap operas, but we all enjoy watching this documentary together every Saturday evening. In my opinion, a good program is not just for fun—it helps us find out more about the world.
诵读小贴士：朗读时注意 documentary 的重音在第三个音节 /ˌdɒkjuˈmentri/；圈出文中的 plan to watch、enjoy watching、can't stand，体会 to do 与 doing 的不同搭配。
