An expedition to the South Pole with the great Sir Ernest Shackleton — this is the adventure that I have been dreaming of. And I was ready for it. At the age of 19, I am fit and full of vigour. However, when I applied to join the expedition Shackleton turned me down because he thought I was too young and wasn't qualified. But I was so enthusiastic about the idea of going along with them that I secretly went aboard his ship, the Endurance, and hid in a small cupboard. Unfortunately, three days after we set off I was discovered. Shackleton did not want to turn back so he offered me a job, but only after he promised me, "If anyone has to be eaten, then you will be the first!" He assigned me to be a steward, and I now serve meals for twenty-eight men, three times a day. How everyone will envy me when I come back and tell them about the amazing places I have been to. ……好吧，碰巧有一天早上我买了份报纸，看了一则关于南极探险队的广告。同伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士去南极探险——这是我梦寐以求的冒险。我已经准备好了。19岁的时候，我身体健康而且精力充沛。然而，当我申请加入探险队时，沙克尔顿拒绝了我，因为他认为我太年轻，不合格。但我与他们同行的想法非常感兴趣，于是我偷偷地上了"坚忍"号轮船，在一个小橱柜里藏了起来。不幸的是，我们出发三天后，我被发现了。沙克尔顿不想回头，所以他给我提供了一份工作，但他保证，"如果有人要被吃掉，那你就是第一个！"他让我当一名伙计，我现在做28个人一天三顿的饭菜。当我回来告诉他们我去过的神奇的地方时，大家该会多么羡慕我啊！ 【重点必背】 it so happened that碰巧…… expedition n. 探险；远征；探险队 dream of梦想 fit and full of vigour身体健康且精力充沛→ vigour n. 精力；力量；活力 turn down拒绝(某人) qualified adj. 符合资格；具备……的知识(或技能、学历等)→ qualify v.（使）具有资格 → qualification n. 资格；资历 enthusiastic about对……热心→ enthusiastic adj. 热情的；热心的 → enthusiasm n. 热情；热忱 aboard adv.&prep. 上(船、飞机、公共汽车等) set off出发；动身；启程 assign vt. 分派；布置；分配→ assignment n. 任务；作业；分配 steward n.（轮船、飞机或火车上的）乘务员；服务员 envy n.&vt. 羡慕；妒忌→ envious adj. 忌妒的；羡慕的 【课文佳句】 How everyone will envy me when I come back and tell them about the amazing places I have been to!（感叹句） 等我回来时，我告诉每个人我去过的那些神奇地方，大家该多么羡慕我啊！ Paragraph 2 (Nov 21, 1915) The journey has not been easy. Endurance became stuck in the ice as we approached Antarctica. The ice froze around us and we were well and truly stuck! We saw the ship get crushed by the ice. And when the ship sank, our hearts sank with it. Before we abandoned the ship, Shackleton calmly called us together and told us to rescue our most essential supplies — the small boats, our food, the cook stove, candles, clothes, and blankets. This was no time to panic. We were not allowed to take most of our personal belongings, and Shackleton himself threw away all his gold. But to our surprise, he allowed Hussey to keep his banjo. Hussey often plays it to keep our spirits up. We are now camped on the ice and we have been managing to survive, but spring is coming, and the ice will soon begin to melt. 这段路程并不轻松。正当我们接近南极时，"坚忍"号被海上的浮冰卡住了。周围的冰都冻结了，我们千真万确地被困住了！我们看到船被冰挤坏了。当船沉没时，我们的心也随之沉没。在我们弃船之前，沙克尔顿镇静地把我们召集在一起，告诉我们要抢出我们最基本的给养——小船、食物、炉子、蜡烛、衣服和毯子。现在不是恐慌的时候。我们不准带走大部分私人物品，沙克尔顿自己也扔掉了所有的金子。但令我们感到惊讶的是，他让赫西留着他的班卓琴。赫西经常弹班卓琴来保持我们的精神振奋。我们现在在冰上扎营，我们一直在设法生存，但春天来了，冰很快就会开始融化。 【重点必背】 become stuck in被困在……中 crush vt. 毁坏；压坏；压碎 n. 拥挤的人群 sink vi.（sank or sunk，sunk）沉没；下沉；下降 vt. 使下沉；使沉没 abandon vt. 舍弃；抛弃；放弃；遗弃 blanket n. 毯子 personal belongings个人物品→ belongings n.［pl.］财物；动产 → belong vi. 属于 to our surprise令我们惊讶的是 keep our spirits up保持高昂的情绪 Paragraph 3 (May 20, 1916) We have been struggling for days, but things on Elephant Island are going from bad to worse. We are now crowded together under one of our boats on the rock shore of this miserable place. Soon after we arrived, Shackleton left us to find help on South Georgia Island, 1,320 kilometres away — the voyage was too dangerous and difficult for all of us to make it in our small boats. If Shackleton fails, will we have any hope of rescue? No. No navy in the world ever stops at Elephant Island and no one else knows that we are here. I feel low. It's cold and windy. The island has no plants. Sometimes we are able to catch a seal or a penguin to eat. Otherwise, there is no food. I try to think of happier things: decent food, warm and dry clothes, a cosy bedroom, sunny days, and my mother's face. However, these happy memories are soon interrupted by a sudden cold rush of air. I shouted, "Shut the door!" "Hold on now, Perce. Don't you go turning into another Tom," came the reply. "We've caught another penguin, so it's penguin soup tonight!" Bless Frank Wild, the kindest man there is after our leader, Ernest Shackleton. How could I become as selfish and bad-tempered as Thomas Orde-lees! Without Frank and Ernest, we'd all be dead by now. Their genuine concern for others, their perseverance, and their resolve fill me with hope. Perhaps there is a chance we will return home, after all. 我们已经苦苦挣扎了好几天，但是大象岛上的情况越来越糟。我们现在挤在一条船上，在这个悲惨的地方的岩石海岸上。我们到达后不久，沙克尔顿就离开我们，去1320公里外的南乔治亚岛求援，这趟航程太危险和困难了，我们所有人都无法乘小船上路。如果沙克尔顿失败，我们是否有营救的希望？不，世界上没有任何海军在大象岛停留过，也没有人知道我们在这里。 我感到情绪低落。寒冷多风，岛上没有植物。有时我们能抓住海豹或企鹅来吃。否则，就没有食物了。我尝试着想一些更快乐的事情：体面的食物、暖和的衣服、舒适的卧室、阳光明媚的日子以及妈妈的脸……然而，这些美好的回忆很快就被突如其来的冷风打断了。我大喊："关上门！" "要坚持住啊，珀西。你可不要变成另一个汤姆。"传来一声回答，"我们又抓了一只企鹅，所以今晚是企鹅汤！" 保佑弗兰克·怀尔德，我们的领袖欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最善良的人。我怎么能变得像托马斯·奥德·里斯一样自私又脾气暴躁！ 如果没有弗兰克和欧内斯特，我们现在都已经死了。他们对他人的真诚关心，他们的毅力和决心使我充满希望。毕竟，我们也许还是有机会回家的。 【重点必背】 go from bad to worse每况愈下 miserable adj. 痛苦的；令人难受的 make it获得成功；准时到达 navy n. 海军；海军部队 feel low感到沮丧 decent adj. 相当不错的；正派的；得体的 cosy adj. 温馨的；舒适的 hold on坚持住；等一下；别挂断 bless vt. 祝福→ blessing n. 幸事；福气 → blessed adj. 有幸具有的；幸运的 selfish adj. 自私的 bad-tempered adj.脾气坏的 genuine adj. 真正的；真诚的；可信赖的 perseverance n. 毅力；韧性；不屈不挠的精神→ persevere vi. 坚持；孜孜以求 resolve vi.&vt. 决定；决心；解决(问题或困难) n. 决心；坚定的信念 → resolution n. 决议；解决；坚定；决心 after all毕竟；终究 【课文佳句】 Without Frank and Ernest, we'd all be dead by now.（含蓄虚拟语气） 如果没有弗兰克和欧内斯特，我们现在都已经死了。 【单元重点词汇】 1.qualified adj.符合资格；具备……的知识(或技能、学历等)→qualify v.(使)具有资格；(使)合格→qualification n.资格；资历；资格证书 2.enthusiastic adj.热情的；热心的→enthusiastically adv.热情地→enthusiasm n.热情；热忱 3.aboard adv.& prep.上(船、飞机、公共汽车等)→board v.上船(或火车、飞机、公共汽车等)；寄宿 n.木板；董事会；伙食 4.assign vt.分派；布置；分配→assignment n.任务；作业；分配 5.envy n.& vt.羡慕；妒忌→envious adj.忌妒的；羡慕的 6.belongings n.[pl.]财物；动产→belong vi.属于；应在(某处) 7.selfish adj.自私的→selfishly adv.自私地→selfishness n.自私 8.perseverance n.毅力；韧性；不屈不挠的精神→persevere vi.坚持；孜孜以求 9.resolve vi.& vt.决定；决心；解决(问题或困难) n.决心；坚定的信念→resolution n.决议；解决；坚定；决心 10.cruel adj.残酷的；残忍的；冷酷的→cruelly adv.残忍地；残酷地→cruelty n.残忍；残酷 11.unfortunately adv.不幸地；遗憾地→fortunately (反) adv.幸运地→fortune n.运气；财产→fortunate adj.幸运的 12.guidance n.指导；引导；导航→guide n.导游；指南 vt.带领；引导；为……领路 13.advertising n.广告活动；广告业→advertise vt.& vi.公布；宣传；做广告→advertisement n.广告；宣传 14.loyal adj.忠诚的；忠实的→loyalty n.忠诚；忠实 15.commitment n.承诺；保证；奉献→commit vt.犯(错误、罪行等) vi.& vt.(使)承担义务；(使)作出保证→committed adj.尽心尽力的；坚定的 【单元重点句式】 1.句式：it happened that ... 原句：Well， it so happened that one morning I bought a newspaper and read the advertisement about the Antarctic expedition. 好吧，一天早晨，我碰巧买了份报纸，看到了这则有关南极探险的招募广告。 2.句式：感叹句 原句：How everyone will envy me when I come back and tell them about the amazing places I have been to！ 等我回来时，我告诉每个人我去过的那些神奇地方，大家该多么羡慕我啊！ 3.句式：as ...as ...意为“和……一样”，表示同级比较 原句：How could I become as selfish and bad­tempered as Thomas Orde­Lees！ 我怎么可以变得像托马斯·奥德里斯那样自私和脾气暴躁呢！ 4.句式：as long as引导条件状语从句 原句： It will eventually lead to success as long as you persevere. 只要你坚持下去，最终就会成功。 5.句式：if引导虚拟条件句 原句： If it weren't for sea animals， we would all starve. 要不是有海洋生物，我们都得挨饿。 6.读后续写之情绪描写 原句：When we were finally rescued，we felt such relief and joy that many of us could not hide our tears. 最终获救时，我们如释重负、喜不自胜，我们许多人都无法掩饰泪水。 【小练1】课文语法填空 （根据课文内容，用所给词的正确形式填空） 1.
