的铁块保护着,很结实。船上的一切生活所需全来自海洋。电用来照明,取暖,当武器来抵御侵袭。船上的食品都是海洋食物。他们身着潜水衣,在船灯光照耀下的魔幻般的世界里四处走动。    
    他们发现周围全是五彩缤纷的礁石,鱼儿,海贝和水生植物,它们都在蓝蓝的海水中慢慢地移动。自从此书出版后,读者们就对尼莫船长的性格感到困惑。    
    你也许会说既不喜欢他也不讨厌他。你会觉得他是个冷酷的人,因为把埃瑞纳克斯和其他的人当作囚犯囚禁起来,并且还捣毁了船只。但是当他为沉船而淹死的人们哭泣的时候,你又觉得他温柔和脆弱的一面。    
    《地心之旅》是他的另一个优秀的故事。故事以在一旧本书里发现了一份旧文件开头。这份文件对怎样找到通向地心的秘密通道作了说明。两个人决定去探险,他们去了冰岛,通过一座死火山的通道进入地球。    
    在向导的带领下,他们穿过一道狭窄的通道来到地下深处。经过了煤层和大理石层后,他们走得越来越深。渴了,他们就喝地下热水,许多天之后,他们到达了一个大湖或者说是地下海洋。他们沿着海岸走,穿过了一些森林,森林里有许多蘑菇和百万年前就生长在地球上的植物。他们造了一个木筏来渡海,途中遭到了古代海洋生物的袭击。最后他们的木筏驶进了一条湍急的小溪,随着逐步加快的速度和逐步升高的气温,    
    他们从意大利南部的一座火山中被抛射了出来。

    4。Dr Aronnax; his servant and a Canadian whale hunter set out to find the monster。     
    埃瑞纳克斯博士和他的仆人还有一位加拿大的捕鲸者一起出发去寻找海怪。    
    (1) hunt+er=hunter意为“猎人;搜索者;热切的追寻者”。

    (1) which turns out to be a submarine 为非限定性性定语从句,用来修饰the monster。in their effort= when they made their effort so that they could survive,其中的in表示一种事情正处于某种状态或进行中的意思。    
    (2) find themselves in the surface为find+sth。/sb。 +介词短语结构。

    You could have been more considerate。你本来可以更慎重些。

    10。Another wonderful story is that of Journey to the Center of the Earth。     
    《地心之旅》是他的另一个优秀的故事。    
    that在句中为代词,代指 the story。英语中有时为避免重复常用one或that来代指前面提到过的人或物。one为泛指想当于a+sth。,有时前面有the或某些形容词修饰;that相当于the one,一般表示特指。    
    I don’t like the red coat; I like the yellow one。 我不喜欢那件红的,我喜欢那件黄色的大衣。

UNIT 13   The water planetTHE PROPERTIES OF WATER   水的性质

    Earth is an ocean planet。 About three billion years ago; life on our planet began in the deep blue seas。 99% percent of the living space on earth is in the oceans。 Marine life is incredibly rich and varied。 There are about five million species in the oceans and we have yet to learn much about them。 Life in the oceans ranges from the tiniest plants all the way up to giants like sharks and whales。 What is it that makes the ocean such a great place to live? The answer is water。    
    地球是个水球。大约三十亿年前,地球上的生命从海洋深处诞生了。地球上大约99%的生存空间都在海洋里。海洋生物的丰富和多样性超乎想象。海洋里有五百多万种生物,其中很多还需要我们去加以了解。海洋里的生物从微小的浮游生物到庞大的动物如鲨鱼和鲸鱼都有。到底是什么使得海洋成为这么好的生活环境?答案便是水。    
    CHEMICAL STRUCTURE  水的化学结构    
    The chemical structure of water makes it an excellent medium for life。 Water is actually quite simple; but the way the water molecule is formed gives water its unique properties。 The water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom。 The two hydrogen atoms form a polar molecule; that is; one with a slightly positive end and one with a slightly negative end。 The chemical structure of water also makes it different from almost everything else on earth。 Water is a liquid at room temperature and has a relatively high freezing point。 Beca
