Lesson88
【课文】
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why is the rescue taking so long?
Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives. However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse. Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.
【课文翻译】
6个人被困在矿井里已有17个小时了。如果不把他们尽快救到地面上来，他们就有可能丧生。然而，事实证明营救工作非常困难。如果用炸药爆破，震动会引起矿顶塌落。因此，营救人员在矿井的北侧钻了一个洞。他们准备用一种特制的容器把这6个人救上来。如果不是因为土壤下面有一层坚硬的岩石，他们的营救工作仅用几个小时就可以完成了。实际情况是，他们已连续钻了16个小时了，但离钻透还早着呢。与此同时，两个小时以前放下井去的一只麦克风使井下的人可以与其亲属保持联系。虽然他们的食物和饮料都快消耗尽了，但这些人的心情很好，坚信他们很快就会出去。他们一直被告知营救工作进行得非常顺利。如果他们知道了钻透那坚硬的岩石有多么困难，他们会丧失信心的。

【知识点讲解】
1.trap既可作动词也可作名词
① n. 捕动物的器具或陷阱
a mouse-trap老鼠夹
lay/set up a trap for...设置捉.......陷阱
caught in a trap 落入陷阱
例句：The fox"s leg was caught in a trap.
狐狸的脚被捕兽夹夹住了。
② n. 圈套，诡计
I"ve told you it was a trap, it was intended for us!
我早就告诉过你这是个陷阱，这就是为我们俩设的局!
③ v.陷入困境
be trapped 陷入困境
trap sb into sth/doing sth 用计捕捉某人或使某人上当
例句：They were trapped in the burning hotel.
他们被困在着火的旅馆里。
2. mine 除了表示代词“我的”还可作名词表示“矿井，巷道，水雷”，或是动词“开矿，采矿”。
a mine of information about/on sb/sth 知识的宝库;信息的源泉
A good encyclopaedia is a mine of information.
一部好的百科全书是一座知识宝库。
3. lose one"s life 丧生 save one"s life 救命
4. rescue operations are proving difficult.
事实证明营救工作非常困难。
rescue operations 营救工作
系动词look, sound, feel, smell, taste, appear, seem, go, prove, turn, stay, become, fall, get, grow, keep+形容词/名词构成系表结构
His plan proved (to be) successful.
他的计划很成功。
5. Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine.
因此，营救人员正在矿井的北侧钻一个洞。
therefore与so的区别
therefore表示“因此”“所以”等。它是副词，在句子中的位置灵活，它既可以独立使用，也可以位于动词或形容词前。
so表示“因此”“所以”时通常是连词。
例如：
He got yearend bonus several days ago, and he was therefore able to buy a car.
因为前两天拿了年终奖，所以他买得起一辆车。
=He got yearend bonus several days ago, therefore, he was able to buy a car.
(therefore前后都可以有逗号，so后面通常不用逗号)
He got yearend bonus several days ago, so he was able to buy a car.
(so 表示“所以”、“因此”时不放在动词前)
6.If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours.
如果不是因为土壤下面有一层坚硬的岩石，他们的营救工作仅用几个小时就可以完成了。
上面这个句子是if引导条件状语从句表示虚拟语气。从句谓语动词形式表达的是跟事实相反的情况(如果不是因为土壤下面的一层坚硬岩石，事实是有这层岩石)，就会怎么样。
虚拟语气在if条件状语从句中的用法
也就是说，虚拟语气的几种常见用法是：①表示和现在事实相反的假设：条件句用动词的过去式，但be (包括There be) 各人称一律用were; 主句则用should/ would /could/ might+动词原形。
②表示与过去事实相反的假设：条件句用动词的过去完成时(had +过去分词);主句则用would + have +过去分词。③表示与将来事实相反的假设：条件句用should+动词原形或动词过去式，或were to+动词原形，主句的谓语则用should/ would/ could/ might +动词原形。以下分别举例说明：
If I were you, I would tell her the truth.
如果我是你，我就告诉她事实真相。
If you had followed my advice, you would have got the ticket.
你要是当初听我的，现在就拿到票了。
If it should snow tomorrow, I would stay at home.
如果明天下雪的话我就呆在家里。
7. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go.
实际情况是，他们已连续钻了16个小时了，但离钻透还早着呢。
①as it is 事实上，实际上(也可以用as it was)。
I thought she had finished the book. As it was, she had just read a few pages.
我以为她把这本书看完了，实际上她只看了几页。
I intended to go home tomorrow. As it is, I have some extra work tomorrow.
我本来打算明天回家，但事实上明天我还要加班。
②have a long way to go 路还长着呢;离……还早
To realize common prosperity, we still have a long way to go.
要实现共同富裕，我们还有一段路。
③have been drilling for sixteen hours
have been doing 是现在完成进行时，其功能主要有三种。
a. 表示从过去某时开始，一直延续到现在的动作，并且还将继续下去。比如文中句子，钻洞已经延续了16个小时，但还将继续下去。
b. 表示在说话时刻之前刚刚结束的动作。
We have been waiting for you for two hours.
我们都等你俩小时了。
c. 表示从过去开始延续到现在，包括现在在内反复发生的动作。例如：
She has been playing the piano since 6 years old.
她从6岁开始就在弹钢琴。
8. ...has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives.
①前缀en-加在名词或形容词前可以使这个词成为动词，如endanger (危及，使遭受危险)，enlarge(扩大，扩展，扩充)，enslave(奴役，使成为奴隶)，entrap(使......入陷阱/圈套，欺骗)。
②keep in touch with 表示“与......保持联系”，等同于stay in touch with。 get in touch with sb. 与……取得联系
Remeber to keep in touch with us when you are abroad.
去国外了记得跟我们保持联络。
9. run out of=use up用完，耗尽
lose heart 为固定搭配，表示“丧失信心/勇气”、“泄气”、“灰心”。
Lesson89
【课文】
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Who made the only funny joke that evening and why?
People will do anything to see a free show -- even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come. The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: "This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!"
【课文翻译】
人们总要想尽办法看不花钱的演出——哪怕是拙劣的演出。当“皮尤”鸟食公司将在我们当地影院演出喜剧节目的消息传开后，我们都赶紧跑去观看。我们不得不排了好几个小时才进得场去。在演出开始前场内肯定已有好几百人了。不幸的是，这次演出是我们看过的最乏味的演出了。那些没能进到场内的人没有必要感到失望，因为很多应该出场的专业演员都没有来。那天晚上唯一有趣的事情是节目开始时那个报幕员的开场白。他显然非常紧张，局促不安地在麦克风前站了好几分钟。但他刚一开口说话，人们便哄堂大笑起来。我们都明白那个可怜的人应该说些什么，而他实际说的却是：“这是‘浦伊’鸟食公司，好女士们，晚上和先生们!”
【生词汇总】
slip n. 小错误
comedy n. 喜剧
present v. 演出;adj. 出席，到场的
queue v. 排队
dull adj. 枯燥，无味
artiste n. 艺人
advertiser n. 报幕员
【知识点讲解】
1.a slip of the tongue 说走了嘴，失言
slip 表示“不经心的错误”、“失误”、“疏漏”
When I get nervous, I would sometimes make a slip of tongue.
当我紧张时，有时候我会出现些口误。
2.When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it.
当“皮尤”鸟食公司将在我们当地影院演出喜剧节目的消息传开后，我们都赶紧跑去观看。
①when 引导的这个时间状语从句，而the news that...是这个同位语从句，news即指后面的a comedy show would be...。这里是时间状语从句里面嵌套了一个同位语从句。因为that引导的同位语从句较长，所以将之放在谓语动词之后，与它所修饰的news隔开，以免句子头重脚轻。同位语从句中用到了被动语态的过去将来时形式(would be presented)。
②get round 在这里表示“消息传开来”，另外，还可表示走动;旅行;说服;避开
People were horrified when the news got round that the bank robber was hiding in this city.
当银行抢劫犯藏匿于此的消息传开时人们都吓坏了。
③present 含义丰富
n. 礼物，现在
adj. 出席的，现在的，当前的，存在的
v. 提出，赠送，呈现
在上面的句子里则是作动词表示“呈现，展示”。
The snow here presents a peaceful atmosphere.
这里的雪景让人感觉很平和。
Some members of the association are not present at the meeting.
一些会员没有到会。
④rush to 奔赴;火速赶往;急着做
When hearing her idol is coming, she rushed to see him.
当听到她偶像前来的消息时，她火速冲出去见他。
3.We had to queue for hours to get in.
我们不得不排了好几个小时才进得场去。
①queue n. 长队，行列
queue time 等待时间，排队时间
不及物动词 排队
She has to queue for the bus every morning.
她每天早上都得排队等公共汽车。(通常与for 连用)
②get in 进入，参加，到达，设法做
4. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come.
那些没能进到场内的人没有必要感到失望，因为很多应该出场的专业演员都没有来。
①Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed
这是个定语从句，先行词those，关系代词who引导的定语从句修饰those。
disappointed adj. 令人失望的 用来修饰人，相对应地 disappointing adj. 失望的 用来修饰物
②needn"t have done 本来不需要做什么事但实际却做了
should have done 本应该做什么事实际上却没做
e.g. I needn"t have bought this book, it didn"t help me.
我本来不该买这本书的，它对我一点儿用也没有。
I shouldn"t have shouted at her.
我真不该对她吼的。
5.As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing.
但他刚一开口说话，人们便哄堂大笑起来。
①as soon as... 一……就……意思相当于A事情发生了，就做B这件事。口语和书面语当中通用，在句子中的位置比较灵活。与hardly…when……和no sooner…than…意思接近。
I gave my mother a call as soon as I got off the train.
我一下火车就给我妈妈打电话了。
no sooner…than… 一般用于描述过去的事情，不能表示将来，且no sooner后面的成分要倒装。例如：
No sooner had the concert started, it began to rain heavily.
演唱会刚开始天空就下起了暴雨。
hardly…when…一般用于过去完成时，有时when可改为before。
Hardly had she stepped into the room when the door bell rang.

②burst out+doing
burst into+n.
Suddenly, people burst out laughing.
突然，人群中爆发出一阵笑声。
Lesson90
【课文】
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What kind of fish are they?
Fish and chips has always been a favourite dish in Britain, but as the oceans have been overfished, fish has become more and more expensive. So it comes as a surprise to learn that giant fish are terrifying the divers on North Sea oil rigs. Oil rigs have to be repaired frequently and divers, who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water, have been frightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work. Now they have had special cages made to protect them from these monsters. The fish are not sharks or killer whales, but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes, sometimes as much as twelve feet in length. Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs. As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water. Who eats who?
【课文翻译】
油煎鱼加炸土豆片一直是英国人喜爱的一道菜，但是随着海洋里的滥捕滥捞，鱼已经变得越来越昂贵。因此，听说北海石油钻井平台上的潜水员受到巨型鱼类的恐吓，确实很让人吃惊。钻井平台需要经常修理，潜水员常常要在水面100英尺以下摸黑工作，他们曾在工作时被撞到他们身上的大鱼吓得惊惶失措。现在他们有了特制的笼子，用来保护他们免受大鱼的侵袭。这些鱼并不是鲨鱼或逆戟鲸，而是深受人们喜爱的食用鱼品种，如鳕鱼和鳐鱼，只不过它们长得出奇地大，有时长达12英尺。这些鱼能长得这么大是由3个因素造成的：海底热的输油管道附近的温暖的海水;钻井平台工作人员抛到海里充足的食物;钻井平台周围根本没有捕鱼船只。结果是，这些鱼就在可爱的温暖的水流中吃呀吃，长呀长。究竟谁吃谁呢?
