StepI.Fast reading:(search for answer:give the Ss 2-3 minutes.)
1.Did the ship sink during the voyage?
2.who was the captain?
StepII.Retell:How did the captain land them safe?
StepIII.Fill in blanks.(Silent reading and pay special attention to the key words.)
1.Many years later, I was sailing to Europe on a fine sailing ship across the Atlantic.For the greater part of the voyage we had pleasant weather, but towards the end of our crossing a terrible storm came up and the ship would have sunk with all on board but for the efforts of the captain.(paragraph1)
2.The ship started to leak and began to fill with water. The sailors were strong, able and willing.But after pumping for one whole night,they were losing the battle against the rising water and were on the point of giving up.(paragraph2)
3.Three times during that day we were on the point of giving up. But the captain’s courage, determination and iron will forced us to continue, and we went back to the pumps. “I will land you safe in Livepool,”he cried, “if you will stay strong and firm with me.”
StepIV.Learn some words through the context.(语境中体会词的语意与用法。)
1.The captain, as soon as he realized the situation,took charge.He ordered the sailors back to their pumps and encouraged them fiercely to save the ship.His strong will doubled their efforts.
[a.fiercely:(of heat,strong feeling,etc)very great;angrily,violently and cruely.]
例:The mother lion shouted fiecely at losing his baby in the forest.
The fierce heat of the tropical sun almost burnt us.
He made a fiece speech, urging them to fight.
[b.will:power to control one’s mind and body----克制力,意志力;
what is wished or intended(by the stated person)-----(某人的愿望)]
例:She has such a strong will;she won’t do what we say.
Her death is God’s will.
He didn’t have the will to change.他没有改变的毅力。
2. The determination that thirty years ago got you that geography book has today saved our lives.
[get---to make sb. have,to cause to do]
例:I got him to help me when I moved the furniture.
I can’t get the car to start.
Stepv.languge points:
1.The ship would have sunk with all the passengers on it, if the captain had not made the efforts.)要不是由于船长的努力,我们就连船带人都沉没了。
but for 是短语介词( = without), 意思是“如果不是……”,后跟名词。but for...相当于一个虚拟条件句,因此,句中谓语动词要用虚拟语气。
But for the snow we would have had a very pleasant journey. ( = If there hadn't been snow, we would have had a very pleasant journey.) 如果不下雪,我们的旅行是非常愉快的。
I would not have succeeded but for your help. ( = If I hadn't had your help, I wouldn't have succeeded.) 要是没有你的帮忙,我是不会成功的。
2. But after pumping for one whole night, they were losing the battle against the rising water and were on the point of giving up. 但是经过一整夜的抽水之后,他们没能战胜不断上升的水,他快要放弃努力了。
解析:句中的 ... and were on the point of giving up 意思相当于... they were about to stop pumping。注意,be on the point of表示“正要(去做事)”的意思。
I was just on the point of going when you came in. 我正要出去,这时你进来了。
3. Neither I nor any of the sailors will leave the ship so long as it remains above the surface of the sea. 只要是这艘船还在海面上,无论是我还是水手都不会弃船而去。
1) 并列连词词组neither ... nor 用来把两个否定的概念结合在一起,表示“既不……又不”的意思,它可连接句中两个相同的成分。在连接两个主语时,一般情况下动词和靠近它的主语在人称和数上保持一致。例如:
Neither you nor he is right. 你和他都不对。(连接两个主语,动词为is)
Neither he nor we have any doubt of it. 他不怀疑这件事,我们也不怀疑。(连接两个主语,动词为have)
I have neither time nor money. 我没有时间,也没有钱。
4. And in the end he did land us safe .... 最后他的确把我们平安地送上了岸……
解析:1)in the end与finally, at last都可作“最后”解,但用法有所不同。finally有两个用法:一个在列举事物或论点时,可用来引出最后一项内容;二是用在句中动词前面,表示“等了好久才……”
We waited and waited, and the train finally arrived. 我们等了又等,火车终于来了。
at last 也可以用来表示“等候或耽误了很多时间之后才……”,语气比较强烈。
At last the work was done and he could rest. 最后,工作完成了,他可以休息了。
in the end 表示经过许多变化、困难和捉摸不定的情况以后,某事才发生。in the end 相当于at last 的用法和finally的第二用法。
They won in the end.最后他们赢了。
StepVI.Exercises:
A.Correct mistakes:
下面各句画线部分是一处错误,请把正确的表达形式写出来
1.You are obviously a person with great courage.
分析:with改为of。有的同学先把此句译成汉语,觉得很像China is a country with a long history。因此就套用。这里with意思是“具有,带有”,而of 则表示“具有某种性质、内容、状况等”。如:a man of ability 能干的人,a cup of tea 一杯茶。
2.For one moment I thought he was going to burst out tears.
分析:Out 改为into。burst 在这里有“突发”之意。应注意英语中的固定短语:
burst into tears 放声大哭 burst into laughter 突然大笑起来
burst into the room 闯进房间来 burst out crying 突然大哭起来
burst out laughing 突然大笑起来
3.The captain, as soon as he realized the situation, took charge of .
分析:去掉of。take charge 意思是“掌管,负责,看管”。因为take charge of 意思是“掌管(负责,看管)……”。后面应有宾语如:He took charge of editoring in the company.
4.Besides, my father was a sailor, and I want to know about all the places where he used to go to.
分析:去掉where 。本句where 引导的应是一个定语从句。有的同学一看见先行词是表示地点的名词,就选用关系副词Where, 忽略了定语从句中缺的是介词宾语(名词),而不是地点状语。
