Lesson 80 文本  The Crystal Palace Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer. Though in those days, travelling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.  文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1. profit（1）n．利润，赢利；得益：Stores haven't made as much profit as usual this year.今年商店的赢利不如往常多。（不可数名词）The profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges.博览会的赢利用来建造博物馆和高等学校。（可数名词）（2）vi．获益，得益；获利：I have profited much from your advice/this book/living abroad.你的建议／这本书／生活在国外使我获益匪浅。 2. 与on有关的介词短语在课文评注3中我们学习了on display/show。on还可以与其他一些名词组成介词短语，常见的有：（1）on business,因公（与 for pleasure相对）：Last month he went to New York on business and had little time to visit friends.他上月因公事去纽约，几乎没有时间拜访朋友。（2）on foot,步行（与by bus, by car, by air等相对）：I usually go to work by car, but this morning I went on foot.我通常开车去上班，但今天上午我是步行去的。（3）on duty,值班，值班的：It was Sunday and there was only one doctor on duty.那天是星期天，只有一位医生在值班。（4）on the whole,总的看来，总的来说，大体上：On the whole, he is a hard-working student.总的来说，他是个用功的学生。（5）on fire，起火，着火：Soon the whole building was on fire.整个大楼很快便都着火了。（6）on purpose，故意地，有意地，特意地（与by chance相对）：T
