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. 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. 二、【New words and expressions】 生词和短语 ◆puma n. 美洲狮 ◆spot v. 看出，发现 ◆evidence n. 证据 ◆accumulate v. 积累，积聚 ◆oblige v. 使…感到必须 ◆hunt n. 追猎；寻找 ◆blackberry n. 黑莓 ◆human being 人类 ◆corner v. 使走投无路，使陷入困境 ◆trail n. 一串，一系列 ◆print n. 印痕 ◆cling (clung, clung ) v. 粘 ◆convince v.使…信服 ◆somehow adv. 不知怎么搞地，不知什么原因 ◆disturb v. 令人不安 学习词汇时仅知道汉语语义是不够的，要把单词放在语句中体会其应用 学习关键句型结构时则要把它放在段落结构或文章里 ★spot v. 看出，发现 pick out / see / recognize / catch sight of eg: A tall man is easy to spot in the crowd.

The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since. One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one oclock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer. Whatever are you doing up here Bill ? asked the vicar in surprise. Im trying to repair the bell, answered Bill. Ive been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise. You certainly did give me a surprise! said the vicar. Youve probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, Im glad the bell is working again. Thats the trouble, vicar, answered Bill. Its working all right, but Im afraid that at one oclock it will strike thirteen times and theres nothing I can do about it.

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. 二、【New words and expressions】 生词和短语 ◆goddess n. 女神 ◆archaeologist n. 考古学家 ◆Aegean adj. 爱琴海的 ◆explore v. 考察，勘探 ◆promontory n. 海角 ◆prosperous adj. （经济上）繁荣的，昌盛的 ◆civilization n. 文明 ◆storey n. 楼层 ◆drainage n. 排水 ◆worship n. 崇拜 ◆sacred adj. 宗教的，神圣的 ◆fragment n. 碎片 ◆remains n. 遗物， 遗迹，废墟 ◆classical adj. （希腊罗马）古文化的 ◆reconstruct v. 修复 ◆rest v. 倚放，放置 ◆hip n. 屁股，臀部 ◆full-length adj. （裙衣）拖地长的 ◆graceful adj. 优雅的 ◆identity n. 身份 ★goddess n. 女神 ★archaeologist n. 考古学家 ★Aegean adj. 爱琴海的 ★explore v. 考察，勘探 The archaeologists are exploring the cave. exploration n. explorer n.探险家 ★promontory n. 海角 ★prosperous adj. （经济上）繁荣的，昌盛的 Our finance is prosperous. thriving 昌盛的，兴旺的 booming 蓬勃的，景气的 flourishing 繁茂的，健康的 ★civilization n. 文明 high level of civilization高度文明 civilize v. ★storey n. 楼层 ★drainage n. 排水 ★worship n. 崇拜 respect; admire Who do you worship in th world? warship n. 军舰战船 ★sacred adj. 宗教的，神圣的 holy adj. 神圣的，圣洁的 solemn adj. 庄严的，庄重的 sacred music 圣乐 sacred promise 神圣的诺言 ★fragment n. 碎片 ★remains n. 遗物， 遗迹，废墟 ★classical adj. （希腊罗马）古文化的 classical music 古典音乐 classical education 人文科学教育 classic adj. 第一流的 This is a classic example of love at the first sight. classic n. 杰作，经典之作 ★reconstruct v. 修复 re-重新，再次 construct 构造，建造，组织 build house 造建筑物 put up a tent construct a sentence construct a broken statuary erect: build high buildings erect monument 建造纪念碑 erect clock tower 建造钟楼 setup; establish; found 建立 Eg: setup students’ union establish a school / rule found a country construction n. constructive adj. 有教育意义的 constructor n. 建设者 ★rest v. 倚放，放置 ★hip n. 屁股，臀部 [口] 在服用兴奋剂，宗教信仰方面赶时髦的人；消息灵通人士；adj. 通晓的，见闻广的 Eg: Hary is a real hip. 玛丽真是赶时髦 The guy isn’t a hip.这家伙什么都不懂 joined at the hip 表示交情极厚的 Eg: These two are joined at the hip. shoot from the hip 信口开河 Eg: Sorry, I said that I shouldn’t have shot from the hip. ★full-length adj. （裙衣）拖地长的 a full-length dress ★graceful adj. 优雅的 a graceful lady elegant (behavier) ★identity n. 身份 三、【课文精析】 an interesting discovery：强调discovery， 体现发现这个动作被考古学家做出 主动语态难以突出重点 archaeologists made an interesting discovery 英文表达：结果、影响、效果为主语，强调对客观事实的陈述 Key sentence: An American team explored a temple which… which引导定语从句，修饰限定temple which stands in an ancient city on… which = that; stand = lie, situate (vt.) locate (vt.)
