专题08 八年级下册Unit3 What makes a great team？课内解析篇 课文解析1 Understanding ideas What can I do? Dear Ms White, 1 Thank you for making me director of our drama, Snow White. It is a great honour for me. I've never been a leader before. But a problem appeared during the very first task - giving out the roles. Lisa and Mary both wanted to play the princess. Some of the team thought Mary was better. The others went with Lisa. Everyone looked at me and expected me to decide. But I just froze. Actually, I thought Mary was better, too. But what if I was wrong? What if I hurt Lisa's feelings? 2 My silence made Lisa angry. "I'm out!" she shouted and stormed off. Then the whole team was silent. My first day as a leader was awful! What should I do? Could you please advise me? Yours, Tony Dear Tony, 1 I completely understand your difficulties. Sometimes good teamwork is hard to achieve! So the leader should take responsibility in times of disagreement. 2 Here is my advice: 3 First, you should discuss the matter with Lisa. Why does she want to play Snow White? What are her strengths and weaknesses? You should work with her to find out. 4 Then, why not have Lisa and Mary both try two roles? For example, Snow White and the queen. All the team members can vote for the most suitable person for each role. 5 Remember: You're the director, but you don't have to deal with all the problems yourself. You have a whole team, so ask them, too! I hope my advice is helpful. Best wishes, Ms White 亲爱的怀特女士： 1.感谢您让我担任《白雪公主》戏剧项目的导演，这对我来说是莫大的荣幸。我从未担任过领导职务。但在分配角色的首个任务中就出现了问题——丽莎和玛丽都想扮演公主。团队中有人认为玛丽更合适，其他人则支持丽莎。所有人都看着我，期待我能做出决定。但我却愣住了。其实我也觉得玛丽更合适。但如果我错了怎么办？如果我伤害了丽莎的感情怎么办？ 2 我的沉默让丽莎很生气。“我退出！”她大喊着愤然离场。随后整个团队陷入沉默。我作为领导的第一天糟透了！我该怎么办？请您指点迷津吧！此致，托尼 亲爱的托尼： 我完全理解您的困扰。有时候团队协作确实很难达成共识！因此领导者在意见不合时应当主动承担责任。 2 这是我的建议： 3 首先，你应该和丽莎讨论这件事。她为什么想扮演白雪公主？她的优点和缺点是什么？你应该和她一起找出答案。 4 那么，何不让丽莎和玛丽各自尝试两个角色呢？比如白雪公主和王后。所有团队成员都可以为每个角色投票选出最合适的人选。 5 请记住：你是导演，但不必独自应对所有问题。你有整个团队，所以也请他们帮忙！希望我的建议对你有帮助。 祝好，怀特女士 1.Thank you for making me director of our drama, Snow White. 感谢您让我成为我们的戏剧《白雪公主》的导演。（教材P36） （1）thank sb. for （doing） sth. 感谢某人（做）某事 for为介词，后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语。 Thank you for your advice. 谢谢你的建议。 Thank you for being so honest with me. 谢谢你对我如此坦诚。 拓展 thanks to sb./sth.多亏某人；由于某事 Thanks to your help, I finished the work on time. 多亏了你的帮助，我才能按时完成工作。 （2）make sb. sth. 任命某人为……，委派某人为…… We made him president of the Students’ Union. 我们选他当学生会主席。 拓展（1）make sb./sth. do sth. 使某人/某物做某事 She always makes me laugh. 她总是让我笑。 （2）make sb./sth.+形容词 使某人/某物处于……状态 The news made him very happy. 这个消息使他非常高兴。 （3）make sb./sth. done 使某人/某物被…… He raised his voice in order to make himself heard.他提高嗓门为的是让人听到自己的声音。 2 It is a great honour for me. 这对我来说是莫大的荣幸。（教材P36） It is a great honour for sb. to do sth. 对某人 来说做某事是一种很大的荣幸。（也可写作honor，发音以元音音素开头，其前有不定冠词时应用an） 此处honour为名词，意为“荣幸”，通常用单数形式。 It’s a great honour to be invited here today. 今天承蒙邀请到此，深感荣幸。 拓展（1）honour作名词时，还可意为“荣誉；名誉”。 This brought great honour to our country. 这给我们的国家带来了极大的荣誉。 （2）honour作动词时，意为“尊重；表示敬意”。 Some old people put zongzi in Miluo River to honour the ancient poet — Qu Yuan. 一些老人把粽子投进汨罗江中，以纪念古代诗人屈原。 （3）in honour of sb./sth.为了表示对某人/某事物的敬意；为了纪念……；为了庆祝…… He said that in honour of Labour Day, the family planned to do some cleaning. 他说为了庆祝劳动节，全家人计划打扫卫生。 3 I’ve never been a leader before. 我以前从未担任过领导者。（教材P36） leader /ˈli:də/ n. 领导者 To Eliza’s surprise, her teammates chose her as their leader! 令伊丽莎惊讶的是，她的队友们选她当她们的领导者！ 拓展（1）leader［可数名词］处于领先地位的人（或物） The company is a world leader in goods. 这家公司的产品在全世界首屈一指。 （2）lead（led，led）［动词］带路，领路；引领 He led us into the garden. 他领我们进了花园。 4 But a problem appeared during the very first task—giving out the roles. 但是在第一项任务中就出现了一个问题——分配角色。（教材P36） give out 分发；发出（光、热等）；耗尽；用尽 （1）give out在此处意为“分发”，是“动词+副词”型短语。 The teacher is giving out books to the class. 老师正在给全班同学发书。 Can you see the papers on the desk？Give them（必须放在give与out之间） out to the students. 你看到桌子上的那些试卷了吗？把它们发给学生。 （2）发出（光、热等） When you eat dessert, your brain gives out dopamine.当你吃甜食时，你的大脑会分泌多巴胺。 The sun gives out light and heat. 太阳散发光和热。 （3）耗尽；用尽 After two hours, her patience gave out. 两小时后，她失去了耐心。 拓展 由give构成的其他常用短语： role /rəʊl/ n. 角色 the lead/leading role 主角 play the role of 扮演……的角色 play a role 扮演角色 He was chosen to play the role of a young prince. 他被选中扮演一位年轻王子的角色。 Costner only plays a minor role in the movie. 科斯特纳在电影里只扮演一个小角色。 拓展［名词］影响程度；作用 play a (n) ... role (in...)（在……方面）发挥……作用 Robots are playing an increasingly bigger role in our lives. 机器人在我们的生活中发挥着越来越大的作用。 5.Some of the team thought Mary was better.

They were near the top of a thirty-metre-high wall of rock. It was called the Second Step. The top of Mount Qomolangma seemed right within reach. But no one had ever climbed the last few meters of the Second Step before. 2 Liu Lianman led the way. He tried four times. Each time, he fell back into the snow. The thin air took his strength away. "I'm not strong enough to try again," he thought. So he chose to be a "human ladder" for his teammates! He lowered his body and let Qu Yinhua stand on his shoulders. Slowly, bit by bit, Liu stood up and helped Qu climb to the top. Every second was painful, but Liu stood still. And he did the same for Gong Bu. Then he and Wang Fuzhou climbed up with a rope. 3 But Liu was too tired to keep going.The team were worried, but they had to carry on. They gave Liu all their oxygen. It was dangerous to climb without oxygen, but they knew Liu needed it. They made every effort through the cold and dark. Hours later, they reached the top of the towering mountain at 4:20 am on 25 May. They were the first Chinese to do so! They were also the first people to climb the difficult North Ridge.What's more, no one had done so without using oxygen! 4 When they returned to base camp, they were welcomed as heroes. People cheered for Liu, too. He did not reach the top, but he shouldered his team into China's mountaineering history. 1.1960年5月24日正午，四名登山者独自站在“世界之巅”。他们正位于三十米高的岩壁顶端，这处被称为“第二台阶”的区域。珠穆朗玛峰的顶峰近在咫尺，但此前从未有人成功攀登过第二台阶的最后几米。 2 刘连曼率先冲向雪坡。他尝试了四次，每次都被积雪绊倒。稀薄的空气不断消耗着他的体力。“我实在撑不住了”，他暗自思忖。于是决定化身“人梯”，让队友们攀爬。他缓缓俯身，让曲银华站在自己肩上。刘连曼一寸一寸地支撑着，帮助曲银华一步步登顶。每分每秒都像在承受煎熬，但他始终纹丝不动。随后他为龚布完成了同样的壮举。最后，他与王福洲用绳索共同攀爬至顶峰。 3 但刘太累了，实在坚持不住。队员们虽然担心，却仍坚持要继续。他们给刘输送了全部氧气。缺氧攀登很危险，但他们知道刘需要氧气。在寒冷黑暗中，他们拼尽全力。几小时后，他们于5月25日凌晨4点20分登上了这座巍峨山峰的顶峰。他们是中国队史上第一个成功登顶的队员！他们也是第一个成功攀登北脊路线的人。更重要的是，这是首次有人在不使用氧气的情况下完成登顶！ 4 当他们返回大本营时，受到了英雄般的欢迎。 人们也为刘欢呼。他虽未登顶，却将团队带入了中国登山史。 1.

In return, Chinese users would send the pictures of their own cats. After looking at hundreds of cat photos, some people noticed something interesting: The cats posted by Chinese users were rounder than those shared by American users. But why? According to the website, one key reason is the living environment. In China, many families live in high-rise apartments. To keep their cats safe, owners usually keep them indoors. However, many American homes have larger living spaces and backyards, so cats can climb and play here and there. Cultural differences may also play a role. In Chinese culture, roundness means unity (团结) and perfection, while Americans value an adventurous (勇于冒险的) spirit. So they encourage their pets to run around and stay active. Family influence is another reason. “My parents always show their love by making delicious food for me, so I treat my cat the same way, ” explained a Chinese user from Heilongjiang. The difference in cat body shapes between China and the US shows cultural differences between the two countries. Whether they are a fit American cat or a round Chinese cat, as long as they are healthy, that’s what matters most. 1．Foreign people pay a “cat tax” on Xiaohongshu by . 2．The cats posted by Chinese users were than those shared by American users. 3．To keep their cats safe, owners in China usually . 4．In Chinese culture, roundness means . 5．The cat’s matters most. 【答案】1．sharing a photo of their cats 2．rounder 3．keep them indoors 4．unity and perfection 5．health 【导语】本文对比了中国和美国用户养的猫咪体型差异，并从生活环境、文化观念、家庭习惯三个方面分析原因，最后强调健康最重要。 1．根据第一段“Many users from the US joined Xiaohongshu in January, and Chinese users jokingly asked them to pay a ‘cat tax (猫税)’ by sharing a photo of their cats.”可知，美国用户通过分享猫咪照片来支付“猫税”。故填sharing a photo of their cats。 2．根据第二段“The cats posted by Chinese users were rounder than those shared by American users.”可知，中国用户发布的猫比美国用户的更圆。故填rounder。 3．根据第三段“To keep their cats safe, owners usually keep them indoors.”可知，中国主人为保障猫咪安全，通常将它们养在室内。故填keep them indoors。 4．根据第四段“In Chinese culture, roundness means unity (团结) and perfection”可知，中国文化中圆形象征团结和完美。故填unity and perfection。 5．根据最后一段“Whether they are a fit American cat or a round Chinese cat, as long as they are healthy, that’s what matters most.”可知，无论体型如何，健康最重要。故空处指“健康”，需名词health。故填health。 单词背诵 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.director /dəˈrektə/ n. 导演 2.drama /ˈdrɑːmə/ n. 戏剧 3.leader /ˈliːdə/ n. 领导者 4.role /rəʊl/ n. 角色 5.freeze /friːz/ v. 突然停止；呆住 6.silence /ˈsaɪləns/ n. 沉默，缄默 7.awful /ˈɔːfəl/ adj. 糟糕的，恶劣的；讨厌的 8.advise /ədˈvaɪz/ v. 建议 9.yours /jɔːz/ pron. 你的 10.teamwork /ˈtiːmwɜːk/ n. 合作，协作，配合 11.strength /streŋθ/ n. 优点，长处，优势 12.weakness /ˈwiːknəs/ n. 弱点，缺点，不足 13.queen /kwiːn/ n. 女王 14.vote /vəʊt/ v. 投票，表决 15.suggestion /səˈdʒestʃən/ n. 建议，提议 16.meeting /ˈmiːtɪŋ/ n. 会议，集会 17.captain /ˈkæptɪn/ n. 队长，组长 18.camp /kæmp/ v. 扎营，宿营，露营 19.go camping 　 (尤指到山上或森林里) 去露营 20.tape /teɪp/ n. （划分区域或捆绑东西等用的）带子，线带 21.voluntary /ˈvɒləntəri/ adj. 志愿的 22.cooperation /kəʊˌɒpəˈreɪʃən/ n. 合作，协作 23.shy /ʃaɪ/ adj. 羞怯的，腼腆的（尤指在陌生人面前） 24.confidence /ˈkɒnfɪdəns/ n. 自信，信心 25.noon /nuːn/ n. 正午，中午 26.climber /ˈklaɪmə/ n. 登山者，登山运动员 27.roof /ruːf/ n. 顶，顶部 28.the "roof of the world" 　 世界屋脊 29.thirty-metre-high 　 adj. 三十米高的 30.ladder /ˈlædə/ n. 梯子 31.teammate /ˈtiːm-meɪt/ n. 队友 32.lower /ˈləʊə/ v. 把（某物）移低，降下 33.painful /ˈpeɪnfəl/ adj. 令人痛苦的 34.rope /rəʊp/ n. 绳，粗绳，绳索，缆 35.effort /ˈefət/ n. 努力 36.make every effort 　 尽一切努力 37.north /nɔːθ/ n. 北，北方 38.base /beɪs/ n. 基地，根据地，总部，大本营 39.base camp 　 (登山) 大本营 40.mountaineering /ˌmaʊntəˈnɪərɪŋ/ n. 登山运动 $ 专题08 八年级下册Unit3 What makes a great team？课内解析篇 课文解析1 Understanding ideas What can I do? Dear Ms White, 1 Thank you for making me director of our drama, Snow White. It is a great honour for me. I've never been a leader before. But a problem appeared during the very first task - giving out the roles. Lisa and Mary both wanted to play the princess. Some of the team thought Mary was better. The others went with Lisa. Everyone looked at me and expected me to decide. But I just froze. Actually, I thought Mary was better, too. But what if I was wrong? What if I hurt Lisa's feelings? 2 My silence made Lisa angry. "I'm out!" she shouted and stormed off. Then the whole team was silent. My first day as a leader was awful! What should I do? Could you please advise me? Yours, Tony Dear Tony, 1 I completely understand your difficulties. Sometimes good teamwork is hard to achieve! So the leader should take responsibility in times of disagreement. 2 Here is my advice: 3 First, you should discuss the matter with Lisa. Why does she want to play Snow White? What are her strengths and weaknesses? You should work with her to find out. 4 Then, why not have Lisa and Mary both try two roles? For example, Snow White and the queen.

You have a whole team, so ask them, too! I hope my advice is helpful. Best wishes, Ms White 亲爱的怀特女士： 1.感谢您让我担任《白雪公主》戏剧项目的导演，这对我来说是莫大的荣幸。我从未担任过领导职务。但在分配角色的首个任务中就出现了问题——丽莎和玛丽都想扮演公主。团队中有人认为玛丽更合适，其他人则支持丽莎。所有人都看着我，期待我能做出决定。但我却愣住了。其实我也觉得玛丽更合适。但如果我错了怎么办？如果我伤害了丽莎的感情怎么办？ 2 我的沉默让丽莎很生气。“我退出！”她大喊着愤然离场。随后整个团队陷入沉默。我作为领导的第一天糟透了！我该怎么办？请您指点迷津吧！此致，托尼 亲爱的托尼： 我完全理解您的困扰。有时候团队协作确实很难达成共识！因此领导者在意见不合时应当主动承担责任。 2 这是我的建议： 3 首先，你应该和丽莎讨论这件事。她为什么想扮演白雪公主？她的优点和缺点是什么？你应该和她一起找出答案。 4 那么，何不让丽莎和玛丽各自尝试两个角色呢？比如白雪公主和王后。所有团队成员都可以为每个角色投票选出最合适的人选。 5 请记住：你是导演，但不必独自应对所有问题。你有整个团队，所以也请他们帮忙！希望我的建议对你有帮助。 祝好，怀特女士 1.Thank you for making me director of our drama, Snow White. 感谢您让我成为我们的戏剧《白雪公主》的导演。（教材P36） （1）thank sb. for （doing） sth. 感谢某人（做）某事 for为介词，后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语。 Thank you for your . 谢谢你的建议。 Thank you for so honest with me. 谢谢你对我如此坦诚。 拓展 thanks to sb./sth.多亏某人；由于某事 Thanks your help, I finished the work on time. 多亏了你的帮助，我才能按时完成工作。 （2）make sb. sth. 任命某人为……，委派某人为…… We made him of the Students’ Union. 我们选他当学生会主席。 拓展（1）make sb./sth. do sth. 使某人/某物做某事 She always makes me . 她总是让我笑。 （2）make sb./sth.+形容词 使某人/某物处于……状态 The news made him very . 这个消息使他非常高兴。 （3）make sb./sth. done 使某人/某物被…… He raised his voice in order to make himself .他提高嗓门为的是让人听到自己的声音。 2 It is a great honour for me. 这对我来说是莫大的荣幸。（教材P36） It is a great honour for sb. to do sth. 对某人 来说做某事是一种很大的荣幸。（也可写作honor，发音以元音音素开头，其前有不定冠词时应用an） 此处honour为名词，意为“荣幸”，通常用单数形式。 It’s a great honour to be invited here today. 今天承蒙邀请到此，深感荣幸。 拓展（1）honour作名词时，还可意为“荣誉；名誉”。 This brought great to our country. 这给我们的国家带来了极大的荣誉。 （2）honour作动词时，意为“尊重；表示敬意”。 Some old people put zongzi in Miluo River to the ancient poet — Qu Yuan. 一些老人把粽子投进汨罗江中，以纪念古代诗人屈原。 （3）in honour of sb./sth.为了表示对某人/某事物的敬意；为了纪念……；为了庆祝…… He said that Labour Day, the family planned to do some cleaning. 他说为了庆祝劳动节，全家人计划打扫卫生。 3 I’ve never been a leader before. 我以前从未担任过领导者。（教材P36） leader /ˈli:də/ n. 领导者 To Eliza’s surprise, her teammates chose her as their ! 令伊丽莎惊讶的是，她的队友们选她当她们的领导者！ 拓展（1）leader［可数名词］处于领先地位的人（或物） The company is a world in goods. 这家公司的产品在全世界首屈一指。 （2）lead（led，led）［动词］带路，领路；引领 He us into the garden. 他领我们进了花园。 4 But a problem appeared during the very first task—giving out the roles. 但是在第一项任务中就出现了一个问题——分配角色。（教材P36） give out 分发；发出（光、热等）；耗尽；用尽 （1）give out在此处意为“分发”，是“动词+副词”型短语。 The teacher is out books to the class. 老师正在给全班同学发书。 Can you see the papers on the desk？Give them（必须放在give与out之间） out to the students. 你看到桌子上的那些试卷了吗？把它们发给学生。 （2）发出（光、热等） When you eat dessert, your brain gives dopamine.当你吃甜食时，你的大脑会分泌多巴胺。 The sun gives light and heat. 太阳散发光和热。 （3）耗尽；用尽 After two hours, her patience gave . 两小时后，她失去了耐心。 拓展 由give构成的其他常用短语： role /rəʊl/ n. 角色 the lead/leading role 主角 play the role of 扮演……的角色 play a role 扮演角色 He was chosen to play the of a young prince. 他被选中扮演一位年轻王子的角色。 Costner only plays a minor in the movie. 科斯特纳在电影里只扮演一个小角色。 拓展［名词］影响程度；作用 play a (n) ... role (in...)（在……方面）发挥……作用 Robots are playing an increasingly bigger role in our lives. 机器人在我们的生活中发挥着越来越大的作用。 5.Some of the team thought Mary was better.

They were near the top of a thirty-metre-high wall of rock. It was called the Second Step. The top of Mount Qomolangma seemed right within reach. But no one had ever climbed the last few meters of the Second Step before. 2 Liu Lianman led the way. He tried four times. Each time, he fell back into the snow. The thin air took his strength away. "I'm not strong enough to try again," he thought. So he chose to be a "human ladder" for his teammates! He lowered his body and let Qu Yinhua stand on his shoulders. Slowly, bit by bit, Liu stood up and helped Qu climb to the top. Every second was painful, but Liu stood still. And he did the same for Gong Bu. Then he and Wang Fuzhou climbed up with a rope. 3 But Liu was too tired to keep going.The team were worried, but they had to carry on. They gave Liu all their oxygen. It was dangerous to climb without oxygen, but they knew Liu needed it. They made every effort through the cold and dark. Hours later, they reached the top of the towering mountain at 4:20 am on 25 May. They were the first Chinese to do so! They were also the first people to climb the difficult North Ridge.What's more, no one had done so without using oxygen! 4 When they returned to base camp, they were welcomed as heroes. People cheered for Liu, too. He did not reach the top, but he shouldered his team into China's mountaineering history. 1.1960年5月24日正午，四名登山者独自站在“世界之巅”。他们正位于三十米高的岩壁顶端，这处被称为“第二台阶”的区域。珠穆朗玛峰的顶峰近在咫尺，但此前从未有人成功攀登过第二台阶的最后几米。 2 刘连曼率先冲向雪坡。他尝试了四次，每次都被积雪绊倒。稀薄的空气不断消耗着他的体力。“我实在撑不住了”，他暗自思忖。于是决定化身“人梯”，让队友们攀爬。他缓缓俯身，让曲银华站在自己肩上。刘连曼一寸一寸地支撑着，帮助曲银华一步步登顶。每分每秒都像在承受煎熬，但他始终纹丝不动。随后他为龚布完成了同样的壮举。最后，他与王福洲用绳索共同攀爬至顶峰。 3 但刘太累了，实在坚持不住。队员们虽然担心，却仍坚持要继续。他们给刘输送了全部氧气。缺氧攀登很危险，但他们知道刘需要氧气。在寒冷黑暗中，他们拼尽全力。几小时后，他们于5月25日凌晨4点20分登上了这座巍峨山峰的顶峰。他们是中国队史上第一个成功登顶的队员！他们也是第一个成功攀登北脊路线的人。更重要的是，这是首次有人在不使用氧气的情况下完成登顶！ 4 当他们返回大本营时，受到了英雄般的欢迎。 人们也为刘欢呼。他虽未登顶，却将团队带入了中国登山史。 1.

In return, Chinese users would send the pictures of their own cats. After looking at hundreds of cat photos, some people noticed something interesting: The cats posted by Chinese users were rounder than those shared by American users. But why? According to the website, one key reason is the living environment. In China, many families live in high-rise apartments. To keep their cats safe, owners usually keep them indoors. However, many American homes have larger living spaces and backyards, so cats can climb and play here and there. Cultural differences may also play a role. In Chinese culture, roundness means unity (团结) and perfection, while Americans value an adventurous (勇于冒险的) spirit. So they encourage their pets to run around and stay active. Family influence is another reason. “My parents always show their love by making delicious food for me, so I treat my cat the same way, ” explained a Chinese user from Heilongjiang. The difference in cat body shapes between China and the US shows cultural differences between the two countries. Whether they are a fit American cat or a round Chinese cat, as long as they are healthy, that’s what matters most. 1．Foreign people pay a “cat tax” on Xiaohongshu by . 2．The cats posted by Chinese users were than those shared by American users. 3．To keep their cats safe, owners in China usually . 4．In Chinese culture, roundness means . 5．The cat’s matters most. 单词背诵 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.director /dəˈrektə/ n. 导演 2.drama /ˈdrɑːmə/ n. 戏剧 3.leader /ˈliːdə/ n. 领导者 4.role /rəʊl/ n. 角色 5.freeze /friːz/ v. 突然停止；呆住 6.silence /ˈsaɪləns/ n. 沉默，缄默 7.awful /ˈɔːfəl/ adj. 糟糕的，恶劣的；讨厌的 8.advise /ədˈvaɪz/ v. 建议 9.yours /jɔːz/ pron. 你的 10.teamwork /ˈtiːmwɜːk/ n. 合作，协作，配合 11.strength /streŋθ/ n. 优点，长处，优势 12.weakness /ˈwiːknəs/ n. 弱点，缺点，不足 13.queen /kwiːn/ n. 女王 14.vote /vəʊt/ v. 投票，表决 15.suggestion /səˈdʒestʃən/ n. 建议，提议 16.meeting /ˈmiːtɪŋ/ n. 会议，集会 17.captain /ˈkæptɪn/ n. 队长，组长 18.camp /kæmp/ v. 扎营，宿营，露营 19.go camping 　 (尤指到山上或森林里) 去露营 20.tape /teɪp/ n. （划分区域或捆绑东西等用的）带子，线带 21.voluntary /ˈvɒləntəri/ adj. 志愿的 22.cooperation /kəʊˌɒpəˈreɪʃən/ n. 合作，协作 23.shy /ʃaɪ/ adj. 羞怯的，腼腆的（尤指在陌生人面前） 24.confidence /ˈkɒnfɪdəns/ n. 自信，信心 25.noon /nuːn/ n. 正午，中午 26.climber /ˈklaɪmə/ n. 登山者，登山运动员 27.roof /ruːf/ n. 顶，顶部 28.the "roof of the world" 　 世界屋脊 29.thirty-metre-high 　 adj. 三十米高的 30.ladder /ˈlædə/ n. 梯子 31.teammate /ˈtiːm-meɪt/ n. 队友 32.lower /ˈləʊə/ v. 把（某物）移低，降下 33.painful /ˈpeɪnfəl/ adj. 令人痛苦的 34.rope /rəʊp/ n. 绳，粗绳，绳索，缆 35.effort /ˈefət/ n. 努力 36.make every effort 　 尽一切努力 37.north /nɔːθ/ n. 北，北方 38.base /beɪs/ n. 基地，根据地，总部，大本营 39.base camp 　 (登山) 大本营 40.mountaineering /ˌmaʊntəˈnɪərɪŋ/ n. 登山运动 $
