　　课文主要语言点

　　Haroun Tazieff, the Polish scientist, has spent his lifetime studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world. 1)the Polish scientist用作Tazieff的同位语。Polish，波兰人。其国名为Poland。scientist，科学家。源自名词science(科学)。 2)spend time in doing，花时间做某事。in经常省略。 3)注意这里的study表示研究，相当于research。 4)active volcano，活火山。相反的是extinct volcano(死火山)。还有处于潜伏期的dormant volcano，休眠火山。注意volcano的复数形式为volcanoes。 5)all parts of the world，世界各地。

　　Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently. 1)句中的was able to强调的是好不容易得以。 2)set up，搭建。 3)very close to the volcano用作the camp的定语，前面省略了that/which was。 4)erupt，喷发、爆发。 5)violently，猛烈地。源自形容词violent(猛烈的)。

　　This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures. 1)注意课文中先后几次使用了managed to do，凸显了这次研究的难度之大。 2)mouth，这里是指火山口。 3)measure temperatures，测量温度。

　　Tazieff has often risked his life in this way. He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive. 1)risk one's life，冒着生命的危险。 2)telll sb. about sth.，告诉某人某事。 3)注意alive用作后置定语，不能做前置定语。

　　课文主要语言点

　　I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. 1)cross the street，穿过街道。 2)avoid doing，避免做某事。 3)came running towards me，朝我跑来。注意running不是动名词，而是现在分词，用作came的伴随状语。

　　重要句型或语法

　　被动语态

　　本课侧重的是从句中的被动语态改为分词短语的用法。如：After he was arrested, the man confessed that he had stolen the money.句中after从句中的被动结构he was arrested可以改为being arrested，因为主从句的主语是一致的。

　　课文主要语言点

　　I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time. 1)句中的test用了过去进行时，旨在交代整个故事发生的时候我正在干什么。 2)a driving licence，驾照。 3)for the third time，第三次。注意跟for a third time(又一次)的区别。

　　I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. 1)注意本句and前后的谓语动词ask和do之所以采用过去完成时，是因为这两个动作都是发生过去的过去。 2)heavy traffic，交通拥挤。 3)successfully，成功地。源自动词succeed(成功做成)，其名词为success(成功)，形容词为successful(成功的)。

　　After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. 1)注意after从句中的被动结构原本是个句子，即：after I had been instructed to drive out of town。之所以能够改为短语，是因为主从句的主语是一致的。 2)instruct，指导、指示。 3)acquire confidence，获得信心、感到自信。acquire，获得。confidence，信心;其形容词为confident(自信的)。

　　Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. 1)注意句中的sure that...其实是从句改为短语结构的用法，其原形可理解为：Because I was sure that...。 2)注意当begin用于进行时态时，后面通常只接动词不定式，而不用动名词。

　　Just one more thing, Mr. Eames. Just one more thing，只剩一件事了。一般用于话语的结尾处。

　　As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet. 1)tap on...，敲打...。 2)within five feet，在五英尺之内。

　　I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly. 1)注意continue可以后接to do和doing，都表示继续做某事。但是，continue有两个不同的形容词，即continual(断断续续的)和continuous(持续不断的)。 2)after some time，过了一会儿。注意这里的some time要分开写;合起来就成了sometime(某个时间)。

　　Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. 1)注意对比take、cost、spend和pay的用法。 2)react，反应。该词由前缀re-和词根act构成，其名词为reaction。

　　I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward. 1)press...hard，用力按压。 2)the brake pedal，刹车踏板。 3)throw forward，向前抛。
