（2）搭配：be generous with sth./in doing sth./to do sth., 如：
The young man is generous with his money／in giving help.
这个小伙子用钱大方／慷慨助人。
（3）generous 的英文解释为 showing readiness to give money，help，kindness，etc.,所以说“某人花钱大方（generous with one’s money）”没有贬义，并不是说这个人花钱大手大脚，而是说他（她）乐善好施。
单词拼写

3、character n.人物；性格
经典例句 He is a man of strong character.

4、explore vt .探险
巧记提示 explore（探险）→explain（v. 解释）
（1）派生词：exploration n. 探险、探测，explorer n. 探险家、探测者、探测器
（2）explore 作及物动词时，后面直接接表示地点的名词，意思是travel into or through（a place，esp a country）in order to learn about it explore 带有“考察”的含义。

哥伦布发现了美洲，但没有考察这块新大陆。

四. 重点句式分析与拓展
1、The spaceship, called Shenzhou V. was carrying China’s first astronaut, Yang Liwei.
这艘命名为“神舟5号”的宇宙飞船载着中国第一位宇航员杨利伟飞向太空。
（1）句中的called Shenzhou V 是动词的过去分词，作后置定语，相当于一个定语从句。即：which is called Shenzhou V.
（2）Yang Liwei 和 China’s first astronaut 互指，是China’s first astronaut 的同位语。
拓展：
（1）过去分词作定语时，一般置于其所修饰的名词之后，其意义相当于一个定语从句，但较从句简洁，多用于书面语中。
（2）过去分词或短语作定语与所修饰的词之间往往存在被动的关系。
2、When the spaceship was doing its seventh circle, Yang Liwei showed the flags of China and the United Nations, expressing the wishes of the Chinese people to explore and use space peacefully.
当飞船绕地球转到第七圈时，杨利伟在飞船上展示了中国国旗和联合国国旗，以表达中国人民和平开发、利用太空资源的意愿。
（1）这是一个主从复合句，从句是“When the spaceship was doing its seventh circle”在句中是状语从句，表示主句谓语动词 show 发生的时间。
（2）现在分词短语 expressing the wishes of the Chinese people to explore and use space peacefully 在句中也作状语，表示与 show 同时发生的伴随动作。这个短语中的to explore and use space peacefully 是并列的不定式短语，作 the wishes 的后置定语。现在分词短语作伴随状语多放在句子的后面。
3、As Yang Liwei returned into the earth’s atmosphere, helicopters were flying to where he would land, ready to collect him.
当杨利伟返回地球大气层的时候，直升机已经飞往着陆地点，等候迎接他。
（1）该句是一个主从复合句，句中包含两个从句。
（2）as 引导的从句是一个时间状语从句，表示句中的动词 fly 发生的时间；where 引导的从句是一个宾语从句，作介词 to 的宾语。
（3）句末的 ready to collect him 是一个形容词短语，在句中作状语。
拓展：
（1）as，when 和 while 都表时间，但有区别。as 多用于口语，强调“同一时间”或“一先一后”；when 则强调“特定时间”；while 也表同一时间，其所表示的时间不是一点，而是一段。
（2）形容词或形容词短语作状语常常不是修饰某一个动词。它表示句中的一个名词或代词所表现出来的状态，用这样的一个词常常能起到言简意赅的作用。

二、综合阅读
He was the baby with no name. He was found and taken from the north Atlantic（大西洋） six days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. The salvage （救援） workers called the small body “our baby.” In their home port （港口基地） of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone（墓碑） in front of the baby’s grave （墓）, written with the words： “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of finding its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and put fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt（姑姥姥） named Maria Panula, 42. At that time, she had sailed on the Titanic for America to meet her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had got, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat（救生艇） to search for her five children - including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the sinking. “We thought they were all lost in the sea,” says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby’s grave, scientists have compared the
DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives（亲属）on the Titanic and never found the bodies. The result of the test shows that it may be the possible person： young Eino. Now, the family understand： no need for a new grave. “He belongs to the people of Halifax,” says Schleifer. “They’ve taken care of him for 90 years.”

2. D
孩子的母亲叫Maria Panula，根据西方人的习俗，妻子结婚后随夫姓，所以她丈夫的姓是Panula，孩子亦然。
3. B
it在这指小孩Eino。

The salvage （救援） workers called the small body “our baby.” In their home port （港口基地） of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone（墓碑） in front of the baby’s grave （墓）, written with the words： “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of finding its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and put fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt（姑姥姥） named Maria Panula, 42. At that time, she had sailed on the Titanic for America to meet her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had got, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat（救生艇） to search for her five children - including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the sinking. “We thought they were all lost in the sea,” says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby’s grave, scientists have compared the
DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives（亲属）on the Titanic and never found the bodies. The result of the test shows that it may be the possible person： young Eino. Now, the family understand： no need for a new grave. “He belongs to the people of Halifax,” says Schleifer. “They’ve taken care of him for 90 years.”
