It was easy to imagine the danger ahead of 在...之前them. Would they ever return to find us? What might happen to them? What if要是...会怎么样呢？ they were delayed推迟，耽误? We felt so alone and desperate绝望的. But it was not for long. There was nothing like a good dinner and some music to cheer us up使我们振奋起来. Para. 1 我们目送沙克尔顿与小船驶离象岛。不难想象前方的险境——他们能否找到我们？遭遇何种厄运？若行程受阻又当如何？我们顿时感到无比孤独与绝望。但好景不长，一顿丰盛晚餐配上悠扬乐曲，便让我们重拾希望。 6 What did the men eat and drink on the island? Life fell into a regular pattern. Staying alive took all our time and energy. For example we needed water, and Elephant Island had none. We found that we could melt ice from the ocean and drink the water from it. But how could we make fire? There were no trees growing on Antarctica and no oil, so the only fuel we could use was animal fat. This gave off散发 oily, black smoke, but it stayed burning even in strong winds. Para. 2 生活逐渐陷入规律的循环。维持生命消耗着我们所有的体力与精力。比如我们需要饮用水，而象岛却毫无水源。我们发现可以通过融化海冰获取淡水，但如何生火却成了难题——南极洲既无树木生长也无石油资源，唯一可用的燃料只能是动物脂肪。这种燃料会散发出油黑烟雾，即便遭遇强风仍持续燃烧。 7 What did the men eat and drink on the island? Food was also a problem, as we did not find any vegetables or fruit on the island. One of our group members, Lionel Greenstreet, noted in his diary about how bored he was with the meals: "The food now is pretty well all几乎全部 meat of sea creatures." If it weren't for sea animals, we would all starve. As a chef, it was my duty to cook, so I tried to vary the meals in whatever way I could. But it was difficult. Para. 3 食物同样令人头疼，岛上既无蔬菜也无水果。团队成员莱昂内尔·格林斯特里特在日记中写道对餐食的厌倦：“如今的伙食几乎全是海洋生物肉食。”若没有这些海洋生物，我们必将饿死。作为主厨，我肩负着烹饪职责，便竭力尝试用各种方式丰富餐食。但这一切都异常艰难。 8 What were the dangers of living on the island? We had to be careful not to go outside too often, as the changing temperatures could make us ill. It was almost as dangerous to become too hot from wearing too many clothes as to become too cold from wearing too few. The sweat汗水could freeze very quickly. Many of us also became ill from the black smoke of the animal fat we burnt for our fires. It damaged our eyes and burnt our lungs. Para. 4 我们必须谨慎避免频繁外出，因温度变化可能导致疾病发生。穿着过多衣物导致过热与穿着过少导致过冷几乎同样危险，汗液可迅速结冰。多数病例还因燃烧动物脂肪产生的黑烟引发病症，该烟雾会损伤眼部并灼伤肺部。 9 Summarize problems they faced no fire no water lack of food illness Drinking water from ______ ice not to go ________ Eating meat of ____________ Using _______ ___ as the fuel Solutions melted animal fat sea animals outside Para. 2-4 10 How did the men stay in good spirits while waiting to be rescued? The twenty-two of us lived like this in the cold for four months. Our discipline 纪律；自制力and team spirit kept us optimistic积极的 and helped us deal with our fears in a positive积极的 and successful way. We also celebrated our birthdays, festivals, and even the times when we caught a sea animal. This was an episode一段经历in my life that I would never forget. Para. 5 我们二十二人就这样在严寒中生活了四个月。严格的纪律和团队精神让我们保持乐观，以积极而成功的方式应对恐惧。我们还庆祝生日、节日，甚至在捕获海洋生物时也共同庆祝。这是我一生中永生难忘的经历。 11 What do you think were the key reasons for their survival? When we were finally rescued, we felt such relief解脱；宽慰 and joy喜悦 that many of us could not hide our tears. We were at last free to go home to warm beds, good food, and the care of our family and friends Our optimism乐观 and faith信任；信仰in Shackleton had helped us persevere in staying alive坚持存活. And he paid us back by his commitment忠诚；承诺 to save us from a slow but painful death. Para. 6 当我们最终获救时，内心涌起的解脱与喜悦之情如此强烈，以至于许多人无法抑制泪水。我们终于得以自由归家，享受温暖的床铺、丰盛的食物以及亲友的照料。正是我们对沙克尔顿的乐观态度与坚定信念，帮助我们坚持存活。而他以承诺将我们从缓慢而痛苦的死亡中拯救出来的方式，回报了我们的信任。 12 Read for structure Problems they faced(Para. 2-4) got dringking water ____________ ____________ were ill Solutions(Para.2-4) made fire got food _____ ice from the ocean the only fuel they could use was __________ varied the meals of _________ not to go _______ animal fat melted sea animals outside ________, __________ and __________of birthday, festivals, and small achievements discipline team spirit celebration Things that helped(Para.5) Result(Para.6):______________________ they were finally rescued 13 1.欧内斯特·沙克尔顿和他的船员们登上了名字为“坚忍”号的大船。(aboard；Endurance) _________________________________________________________________ 2.不幸的是，途中“坚忍”号被冰块困住，沉进了大洋中。(unfortunately；be/become stuck in；sink into) _________________________________________________________________ 3.在放弃那艘船后，他们逃到了大象岛上。(abandon；escape) _________________________________________________________________ Ernest Shackleton and his crew went aboard the ship whose name was Endurance.

Ernest Shackleton and his crew went aboard the ship named Endurance. Unfortunately, on the way Endurance became stuck in the ice, sinking into the ocean. Having abandoned the ship, they escaped to Elephant Island. And then, Shackleton left them to find help on South Georgia Island. Delightfully, the crew were able to survive in spite of so many difficulties. In the end, they were rescued.

In a word, I have learned an important lesson from the inspiring story. That is, whatever difficulties we meet, never give up. Sample 23 $
