一、导读：译文参考 非洲奇遇 6月30 日，摩洛哥 我和父母刚从马拉喀什驱车，沿着狭窄的山路，一路急转弯，终于到达了梅尔祖卡。在我们面前的是绵延不绝的沙丘，它们标志着撒哈拉沙漠的起点。我盯着黄色路标时，一个小男孩赶着一群吵闹的山羊走过。根据路标提示我们正在进入“脆弱的自然环境”。当我在此地的时候，我下定决心要尊重和保护这片独特的风景。我们出发了，车在沙子和小石子上静静驶过。不一会儿，我们就被四周高耸的巨大沙丘包围住。风吹动着沙丘顶上的沙粒，阳光照耀着，猛烈而耀眼,天空是我以前从未见过的深蓝色。沙漠的野性之美即将显露。目光所及之处，棵植物都没有。沙漠似乎空无一物，这既使人平静，又让人害怕。沙丘的颜色与晴空的蓝色形成了鲜明的对比。 当夕阳的余晖洒在沙地上时，我们终于抵达了沙漠营地。星星已经在黑沉沉的天空中闪闪发光。随着夜幕降临，天也渐渐变冷了。三只骆驼跪着休息，慢吞吞地嚼着东西，饶有兴致地注视着我们的到来。"那么，明天你们哪一个幸运儿会成为我的坐骑呢?”我一边大声说道，一边拿起包朝温暖的篝火走去。我饿极了，急忙把一块牛排放在烤肉架上。 7月3日，肯尼亚 离开营地几天后，我们的车就完完全全陷在泥里了。父亲先前不听母亲的劝告，决定开车穿过横跨在泥路上的一大滩水，当时我们离位于肯尼亚边境的安博塞利国家公园休息营地非常近。两个瘦高的当地人站在路边忍俊不禁地看着我们他们一定意识到了我们完全无能为力，因为过了一会儿，他们便走过来，把我们的车从泥地里推出去。父亲勉强笑了笑，我和母亲从车窗挥手，便继续前行了。 我们在小屋旁边找到了一个停车位，小屋是圆形的，用砖砌成。墙壁被漆成亮白色，反射着午后的阳光。有五间类似的小屋，都排成一列，面朝非洲的最高山脉--乞力马扎罗山。那座山屹立在我们面前的平原上。高高的草丛和树木点缀着平原，平原上到处都是我们此行要看的非洲野生动物。长颈鹿伸着长长的脖子，从最高的树枝上咬下叶子。远处，大象正在吃草，耳朵懒洋洋地拍打着，在平原上缓缓移动。我以前从没见过这样的场景。这的确是地球上最壮观的景象。 我们下了车，提着手提箱和几盒食物进了小屋。我把火腿三明治、香肠和一把香蕉放在一张小木桌上。我回到车里，又拿了些物品。就在那时，我注意到一只灰色的小猴子坐在几米开外的树上，吃着一根香蕉。“太可爱了。”我心想，直到我意识到他吃的正是我的香蕉!他目不转睛地看着我，开心地吃完最后一口。我确定他是在说:“谢谢。”“不客气。”我回答道。 二、导思 Key words: 1. unending adj. 无尽的 2. starve v.

Step 3. Key sentences 1. Before us stretched the unending sand dunes that marked the beginning of the Sahara. 这是一个倒装句。before us (地点状语) 放在句首，句子用全倒装。考点：谓语动词的单复数 另外，that连接的是定从句，修饰the unending sand dunes，且在定从中做主语，不能省略=which eg. Of equal importance ______________ our study skill and habits. (be) Joining us _______________ A , B and C. (be) 2. It wasn’t long before we were surrounded by enormous sand dunes towering above us on all sides. 这是一个由连词before引导的状语从句,固定句型，意为: 不久之后 It will /may be +一段时间+before 从句 ( do ) It was +一段时间+before 从句 ( did ) eg. It will be nearly two months before we ____________ the Spring festival. ( celebrate) 3. There were five similar huts, all lined up facing Moun Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. 句中all lined up…是独立主格结构， lined up…是_________短语，其逻辑主语all指代five similar huts. 常见的独立主格结构如下： 名词/代词+现在动词doing /过去分词done (动词与名词或代词构成_____关系时, doing；构成_____关系时, 用done) 1. 随着问题的解决, 质量已经提高了。__________________, the quality has been improved. (solve) 2. 天气容许，我们将爬山。________________, we’ll go climbing. 4. It was then that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting on a tree a few meters away and eating a banana. 本句中的“It was...that...”为强调句型，强调时间状语then (1)强调句式的构成：It is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who... (2)强调句的一般疑问句：Is/Was it＋被强调部分＋that/who...? (3)强调句的特殊疑问句：特殊疑问词＋is/was it＋that...? (4) 对“not...until...”进行强调时，应使用句型“It is/was not until...that...”. (1) It is you who/that bridge the gap between us and English. 是你在我们和英语之间架起了桥梁。 (2) Is it you who will be the right person for the volunteer of the Chinese painting exhibition? 你会是这次中国画展志愿者的合适人选吗？ (3) It was not until the rain stopped that the old lady left her apartment. 四、达标导练：短语检查（15分钟） 1. 准确地，完全地 |
