Lesson1 A puma at large
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside. 美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南45英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。可是，随着证据越来越多，动物园的专家们感到有必要进行一番调查，因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情况竟是出奇地相似。
搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开始的。那里的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时的看见“一只大猫”，离她仅5码远，她刚看见它，它就立刻逃走了。专家证实，美洲狮非被逼得走投无路，是决不会伤人的。事实上搜寻工作很困难，因为常常是早晨在甲地发现那只美洲狮，晚上却在20英里外的乙地发现它的踪迹。无论它走哪儿，一路上总会留下一串死鹿及死兔子之类的小动物，在许多地方看见爪印，灌木丛中发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。有人抱怨说夜里听见“像猫一样的叫声”；一位商人去钓鱼，看见那只美洲狮在树上。专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮，但它是从哪儿来的呢？由于全国动物园没有一家报告丢了美洲狮，因此那只美洲狮一定是某位私人收藏豢养的，不知怎么设法逃出来了。搜寻工作进行了好几个星期，但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮。想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。

Lesson 1 A puma at large
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the
descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking
blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening.

country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.
Pay attention: The points below are not covered by the mp3. It is better for you to listen to the mp3 first and try to take notes by yourselves.
1，a puma at large
at large
1：逃遁的，没有被控制的。
2：详细的(in detail)
3：总体来讲（as a whole）
2，Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.
tip: 在英文的表达方式中，首先呈现给读者的是结果。写议论文的时候要注意把握观点。 体会课文第一二句话，乃至第一段在全文中的作用。
cat-like 像猫的，偷偷摸摸的
life-like 栩栩如生的
3，When report came into London zoo... 当伦敦动物园接到报告......
同种结构的句型：(An idea) come to sb.某人突然想到了......
4， They were not taken seriously.
take sth. seriously: deal with sth. seriously 认真（严肃）对待某事
take sth. lightly 草率对待某事
注意：例句的they指的是reports, 意思是：The experts did not take the reports seriously.
5, The descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
claim to have done sth 声称曾经做过某事
6， Experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.
confirm: be sure, be certain
7，The search proved difficult.
这个语境中：search=hunt
8， Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.
leave behind: 把某物留在后面
9， A businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.
on + 名词：强调动作正在进行
on the rise:在上升
on the increase: 在增加
on the watch: 在观看
on the match:在比赛中
on the fishing trip:在钓鱼的途中
on holiday: 在度假
10， The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma. fully: completely, entirely
11，This one must have been in the possession of a private collector.
in the possession of sb==in sb's possession 归某人所有
in possession of sth. 拥有某物
take possession of 拥有
tip: 请大家体会下同种意思的不同表达，让我们的语言丰富起来！
eg: The beautiful car is in my possession / in the possession of me.
I am in possession of the beautiful car.
The person in possession of the big house is excited.
12， It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.
It is disturbing to think that 一想到.........就心里不安 1. simple sentence, compound sentence and complex sentence(check NCE2 L73)
本文主要有复杂句组成，复杂句是由简单句构成的，分析复杂句的意思：
1）先看句子由几个部分组成；
2）通过link word来判断主从句关系；
e.g. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
分句1：The evident began to accumulate.
as 表示伴随主句同时发生的状态
主句：Experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate.
tip: 在阅读中，先看主句有助于全文理解和提高阅读效率。
分句2：The descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
for 表示原因，翻译做：因为
这个分句还可以再细分：
句子的主干部分是：The descriptions were similar
given引导的部分是过去分词作定语，修饰description
而这一成分中，who引导的定语从句，用来修饰people
2.被动语态常用于表达事实的客观性
tip: 英文的表达方式重点在于突出客观事实，故常用被动语态；而中文则善于运用动作的执行者,常用主动式 被动语态的特殊结构：被动语态＋现在分词
e.g. puma fur was found clinging to bushes 现在分词clinging起补充说明主语的作用
3，定语从句和同位语从句
一般来讲, 定语从句和同位语从句紧随在被修饰名词后面，但为了保持句子平衡，也可把谓语动词放到从句之前。让我们来看两个文中的例子：
(1)Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.
(2)Reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London.
现在让我们来回顾下两种从句的区别：
(1) 定语从句只是对于被修饰词的补充说明、修饰。
定语从句的引导词：
指人：主语 who; 宾语 who/whom; 定语 whose
表达事物：that(也可指人)/ which
时间状语：when; 地点状语：where; 原因状语： why
(2) 同位语从句则是讲述被修饰名词的内容
同位语从句的引导词：
名词做主语、宾语时，关系词用that 而不是which

Lesson 3 An Unknown Goddess
Some time ago，an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea．An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini．The city at one time must have been prosperous，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization．Houses--often three storeys high----were built of stone．They had large rooms with beautifully
decorated walls．The city was even equipped with a drainage system，for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets． The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C.This head must have been found in
Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hip. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far,the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.
1, Some time ago，an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea．
*文中用了被动式，强调discovery， 体现发现这个动作被考古学家做出
英文表达中常用被动语态。在以结果、影响、效果为主语的被动式句子中，强调了对客观事实的陈述。
2，An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini．
*which引导定语从句，修饰限定temple
在这个句子中，which = that; stand = lie\ be situated (vt.) \be located (vt.), 因此进行词语替换后，本句可改成：
An American team explored a temple which/ that is located / situated in... An American team explored a temple which/that lie in...
*stand v. 表示高高坐落于，矗立于
e.g.
She stands 1.75m. 她一米七五。
A great tree stands on the mount. 山上有个大树。（我们也可以用there be句型来表达中文意思，但是请大家体会下两者的差异。there be陈述客观事实：那里有什么，而例句则突出树，并且很高，感情色彩一下就不一样了。）
3，The city at one time must have been prosperous，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization．
* for引导原因状语从句，对主句进行附加说明，译作"因为"
对比：
because引导原因状语从句，重点突出原因。
for引导的原因状语从句，突出了主句。
这点细微的差别，请大家在写作时注意。
e.g.
I do it because I like it. 我做这件事因为我喜欢。
The day broke for the birds were singing. 破晓了，因为鸟儿在唱歌。
*at one time:表达曾经，一度；是过去时态的标志
*must have been 对过去事实肯定的推测
* enjoyed a high level of civilization. 享有高度文明
很好用的句子，请大家在写作,翻译和口语中尤其注意。
4，They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls．
* with...作为所有物、属性或特点具有：
e.g.
a young man with broad shoulders 一个宽肩膀的青年
an old lady with black hair 一个黑发老妇人
* beautifully decorated 过去分词做定语
e.g.
a beautifully dressed lady衣着漂亮的女士
a deserted carpark 废弃的停车场
a white painted door 被粉刷成白色的门
区别：
过去分词做定语，被修饰词与修饰词之间是：被动关系
现在分词做定语，被修饰词与修饰词之间为；逻辑主动关系
a boy climbing the tree / the students reading in the room
5, The city was even equipped with a drainage system，for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets．
* be equipped with 配备，装备
*for 引导原因状语从句
*beneath the narrow streets
对比：beneath\under\below
(1) prep. beneath = under 正下方
e.g.
He is standing under / beneath the umbrella.他站在雨伞下面。
(2) under 还有"在进行中" 的意思
e.g.
under control 控制之中；
under discussion 讨论之中；
under repairs 修理之中
(3) below:在下方，强调斜下方
e.g.
She is sitting below the window.
6, The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times.
*be used as / be used to be 把...用作为
e.g.
The box was used as a desk in the small village school.
The wooden box was used as a bookcase.
The wooden box is used to contain books.
7, Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted.
* represent vt. 代表
e.g.
I represent all the classmates.
8, The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C.
* dating 现在分词，修饰 remains
e.g. the customs dating from 1990
*date from 追溯到，从... 开始
date from＝date back to
e.g. The castle dates from/dates back to the 14th century.
9，Its missing head happened to be among remains of...
* happen to 强调事情偶然发生
e.g. I happen to have driven that kind of car. 我恰好开过这种车。
He happened to find the ticket in his pocket. 他恰巧在口袋里找到那张票。 句式：It happens that......
e.g. It happnes that I met her on my way to work
I happened to meet her on my way to work
happen on 巧遇，偶然发现,偶遇
e.g. I happend on this old picture in the drawer.
