新概念英语第二册Lesson72 A car called bluebird 课文详解+重点词汇+语法+语法填空讲义

Lesson 72 文本  A car called Bluebird The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2500 horse-power engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds of over 400 miles an hour. Following  his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.  文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1. burst （1）vi. 爆炸，爆裂： A tyre burst during the second run. 在第二段赛程中一只轮胎爆了。 The balloon burst. 气球爆了。 （2）vt.,vi. 突然打开： While I was reading, the door burst open and John came in. 我正看书时，门猛地开了，约翰闯了进来。 We burst the door open. 我们猛然把门撞开。 2. 复习第50～71课部分词汇 在第50～71课中，我们学习了 used to与 be used to的区别；学习了形容词和相应的副词及其用法；学习了表示目的的几种方式(to,in order to, so as to, so that, in order that);还学了make和let后面接不定式的用法： As a boy, he used to work in a small shop. 他小时候在一家小铺里做工。 I'm used to getting up early. 我习惯于早起。（表示现在的习惯，后面跟动名词而不是不定式） This morning I got up very late. 今天早上我起得很晚。（late表示“晚”） Have you been to the cinema lately? 你最近去看过电影吗？（lately表示“最近”、“近来”） He always works hard. 他总是努力工作。（hard表示“努力”） I can hardly hear you. 我几乎听不到你在说什么。（hardly表示“几乎不”） I live quite near. 我住得很近。（near表示“近”） I nearly forgot his name. 我几乎忘了他的名字。（nearly表示“几乎”、“差点儿”） He sat at the back so that/in order that no one would notice him. 他坐在后面，以便使别人不注意他。 He left quietly so as not to/in order not to wake anyone. 他悄悄地离开，以便不惊醒任何人。 Finding the room dirty, Dan made Lucy c
