in blanks.(Silent reading and pay special attention to the key words.)

years later, I was sailing to Europe on a fine sailing ship across the 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)

ship started to leak and began to fill with water. The sailors were strong, able and after pumping for one whole night,they were losing the battle against the rising water and were on the point of giving up.(paragraph2)

e 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.”

n some words through the context.(語境中體會詞的語意與用法。)

1．The captain, as soon as he realized the situation,took ordered the sailors back to their pumps and encouraged them fiercely to save the strong will doubled their efforts.

[cely:(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.

[:power to control one’s mind and body----剋制力，意志力；

what is wished or intended(by the stated person)-----（某人的願望）]

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.他沒有改變的毅力。

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.

uge points:

ship would have sunk with all the passengers on it, if the captain had not made the efforts.)要不是由於船長的努力，我們就連船帶人都沉沒了。

but for 是短語介詞( = without), 意思是“如果不是……”，後跟名詞。but for...相當於一個虛擬條件句，因此，句中謂語動詞要用虛擬語氣。

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，我們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.) 要是沒有你的幫忙，我是不會成功的。

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. 但是經過一整夜的抽水之後，他們沒能戰勝不斷上升的水，他快要放棄努力了。

解析：句中的 ... and were on the point of giving up 意思相當於... 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，這時你進來了。

3. Neither I nor any of the sailors will leave the ship so long as it remains above the surface of the sea. 只要是這艘船還在海面上，無論是我還是水手都不會棄船而去。

1) 並列連詞詞組neither ... nor 用來把兩個否定的概念結合在一起，表示“既不……又不”的意思，它可連接句中兩個相同的成分。在連接兩個主語時，一般情況下動詞和靠近它的主語在人稱和數上保持一致。例如：

Neither you nor he is right. 你和他都不對。（連接兩個主語，動詞爲is）

Neither he nor we have any doubt of it. 他不懷疑這件事，我們也不懷疑。（連接兩個主語，動詞爲have）

I have neither time nor money. 我沒有時間，也沒有錢。

4. And in the end he did land us safe .... 最後他的確把我們平安地送上了岸……

解析：1)in the end與finally, at last都可作“最後”解，但用法有所不同。finally有兩個用法：一個在列舉事物或論點時，可用來引出最後一項內容；二是用在句中動詞前面，表示“等了好久才……”

We waited and waited, and the train finally arrived. 我們等了又等，火車終於來了。

at last 也可以用來表示“等候或耽誤了很多時間之後才……”，語氣比較強烈。

At last the work was done and he could rest. 最後，工作完成了，他可以休息了。

in the end 表示經過許多變化、困難和捉摸不定的情況以後，某事才發生。in the end 相當於at last 的用法和finally的第二用法。

They won in the end.最後他們贏了。

下面各句畫線部分是一處錯誤，請把正確的表達形式寫出來

are obviously a person with great courage.

分析：with改爲of。有的同學先把此句譯成漢語，覺得很像China is a country with a long history。因此就套用。這裏with意思是“具有，帶有”，而of 則表示“具有某種性質、內容、狀況等”。如：a man of ability 能幹的人，a cup of tea 一杯茶。

one moment I thought he was going to burst out tears.

分析：Out 改爲into。burst 在這裏有“突發”之意。應注意英語中的固定短語：

burst into tears 放聲大哭 burst into laughter 突然大笑起來

burst into the room 闖進房間來 burst out crying 突然大哭起來

burst out laughing 突然大笑起來

captain, as soon as he realized the situation, took charge of .

分析：去掉of。take charge 意思是“掌管，負責，看管”。因爲take charge of 意思是“掌管（負責，看管）……”。後面應有賓語如：He took charge of editoring in the company.

des, 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 引導的應是一個定語從句。有的同學一看見先行詞是表示地點的名詞，就選用關係副詞Where, 忽略了定語從句中缺的是介詞賓語（名詞），而不是地點狀語。
