学而思教导我们，要超越极限，挑战新3，所以偶连夜贝壳。

    为了方便大家对照考卷自学，并汇总知识点出处，整理一下这篇的讲解要点

      在指导小儿的同时,与坛内大大们风向:

    SAIL FOR : 类似LEAVE FOR 的用法,航行去某地,SAIL 是航行,在新2第12和3A出现,是重要单词.

     CARRY 的用法,新2第7课里的意思是提着,指无方向性的拿着东西.本课的用法和新2的29里用法相同,(交通工具)载有乘客的意思,要牢记.

    介词 BY类似ACCORDING TO ,按照....,以....的意思

     COLOSSAL 是庞大的意思,这个是中级词汇.

     SHE : 船会被欧洲人以这个词指代.

     NOT ONLY .....BUT  不但....而且....新2的第25课的知识点.

      TAHT HAD EVER BEEN BULT 是定语从句修饰SHIP ,THAT 在从句中做主语不可省略,这个是新1的知识

      HAD BEEN BUILT 是一个过去完成的被动用法, 被动语态: BE +过去分词,由于是完成,BE要变成 ----HAVE BEEN ----HAD BEEN

      造船发生在沉船前,所以是过去的过去,用HAD BEEN

       BE REGARDED AS :被看作.  REGARD ...AS  把...看作 ,这个词组需要掌握.

      BE FLOODED ：被充水

      would be able to ： 将来有能力做的事情，will be able to （can 没有将来式）这个知识是新2的28，43里重点训练的。

      voyage 航行，航次（对比新2的43课   flight 空中旅行，航班） 这个两词对比一起记忆。

      LOSS : 损失 。需要掌握

     TRAGIC :悲惨的 MISERABLE 近义词  GO DOWN =SINK 沉没(SANK ,SUNK)

     SET OUT =SET OFF 出发（新2第12词组）

     SPOTTED =FOUND 被发现

     LOOKOUT 嘹望员，（比较： LOOK OUT 是词组，小心）

     ALARM  警报

     AVOID :避免，避开  AVOID DOING STH （新2第68）

      COLLISION : 船舶碰撞一定是这个词，比较专业，不需要掌握。

      IN TIME及时 , 比较：ON TIME 准时

     IMMENSE =HUGE

     slight  细小的轻微的   trembling 颤抖的（动词的ING形式变形容词）

    SO .......THAT 结构： 新2的30课知识，三笔重点知识。如此。。。。。。以至于

    REALIZE： 意识到 新2的20，30课都出现这个单词，是非常重要的单词，必须牢记

    HORROR : 名词，恐惧。

    THE ORDER TO DO STH : 做。。。事情的命令，不定式做定语，要记住结构。

    ABANDON =GIVE UP 放弃  。中级词汇，最好能掌握。

    PLUNGE INTO = JUMP INTO

  BE LOST  某物丢失了。这里指人的性命丢失了，翻译为：失去生命 （比DIE委婉点)

  以上粉红字体的知识包括语法和词汇，需要有志择校的小朋友能掌握好的。

   新概念2的知识基础牢固与否，对学习这个课文的效果起到非常大作用。

   通篇主要的结构就是被动语态的使用,所以请大家要注意,这个语法点的大量练习是很重要的

The great ship ,Titanic ,sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th ,1912.She was carrying 1,316 passengers and a crew of 891 . Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship .At that time ,however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen watertight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.
  Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged .Below,the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded! The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1,500 lives were lost.
