自主探索
观察以下教材原句并思考黑体部分的功能。
1．Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that they knew would include crowds, discomfort and danger.
2．Many would become sick, due to the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives.
3．Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later.

[归纳填空]　
精要点拨
一、表示从过去某时看来将要发生的动作或存在的状态
过去将来时是“立足过去，着眼未来”的一种时态，常用于宾语从句中。
判断依据：要有表示过去的“动作”，而不是时间。一般会有一个发生在过去的动作，而过去将来时的动作要以此过去动作为参照点，在这个动作之后，将要发生的动作用过去将来时。
I promised that I would live up to his expectation and never stop writing in English though it was my second language.
我承诺，虽然英语是我的第二语言，但我将不辜负他的期望，不辍英语写作。
二、表示过去的某种习惯性行为，只用would，常用在宾语从句或间接引语中
He said that he would wait for us at the bus stop.
他说他要在公交车站等我们。
Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists.
我的孩子们每年都会写下他们的圣诞愿望清单。
Last week, he promised he would be back, but he hasn't arrived until now.
上周他答应会回来，但直到现在还没到。
三、表示过去将来时的几种结构
1．was/were going to do这种结构表示过去将要发生的动作。
[名师点津]
was/were going to do这种结构常用于三种情况：
A)说话人的意图、打算；
B)某种可能性(有迹象要发生的事)；
C)计划、安排要发生的事。
He once told me that he was going to start his own company.
他曾经告诉我他要建立自己的公司。
When they arrived, the plane was just going to take off.
当他们到达时，飞机正准备起飞。
2．was/were about to do这种结构表示“正要、即将”。
[名师点津]
be about to不能与tomorrow、 next week等明确表示将来时的时间状语连用。但可以构成be about to do when...＝be on the point of doing when...正要……就在那时……
The show was about to begin as I took my place.
我就座时，演出就要开始了。
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.
＝I was on the point of leaving when the hummingbird appeared.
我正要离开，这时蜂鸟出现了。
3．was/were on the point of doing这种结构表示“正要……”。
He was on the point of leaving when we came in.
我们进来时，他正要动身。
4．go、 come、 leave、 take off等少数动词(短语)可用过去进行时表示过去将要发生的情况。
We were leaving early, so we packed everything the night before.
我们要很早就走，所以前一天晚上就打包好了一切。
5．“was/were to do sth.”表示按计划、约定，或按职责、义务应该在短期内将要发生的动作。
She told me that she was to plant some trees in the yard.
她告诉我说，她要在院子里种些树。

Ⅳ.写作特色赏析
“积极——消极”模式
“积极——消极”模式(positive—negative pattern)由两部分组成：积极部分和消极部分。这两部分在语篇中出现的顺序比较灵活，可以是积极部分在前，也可以是消极部分在前，二者之间往往由过渡句连接。本文的首段就采用了消极部分在前的组篇方法。仔细阅读第一段，从文中找出相应的依据。
文章第一段的前两句中出现了不少表示消极意义的词，如：_____________________这些词向读者传达了一个消极的信息——攀登珠穆朗玛峰是很危险的。
紧接着，作者使用一个过渡句：___________________________将文章转移到积极部分，借助__________________和________________告诉读者攀登珠穆朗玛峰也有其积极的一面。

CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA: WORTH THE RISKS
Last year, hundreds of① people spent good money on an experience that__they__knew 【1】 would include crowds②， discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to③ the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives④. Yet, despite all this, by the end of⑤ the trip many were already planning to return. For these people, climbing__Qomolangma 【2】 is an experience like no other, making__some__feel__weak__and__others,__powerful 【3】．
【1】that引导定语从句。
【2】climbing Qomolangma为动名词作主语。
【3】现在分词短语作结果状语。
British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, “What we get from this adventure 【4】 is just sheer⑥ joy...We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for 【5】．” Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later. It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life 【6】．

【5】what life means和what life is for是两个并列的表语从句。
【6】It作形式主语，if引导主语从句。
In 2011, words similar to⑦ those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world 【7】. “It brings into focus⑧ what's important to you.” He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around⑨ and only one to keep going. You really have to focus on the one reason that's most important and unique to you 【8】. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out⑩ if you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when you want to stop 【9】．”

【8】that引导定语从句。
【9】if引导宾语从句。
With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure 【10】， is there also a scientific reason behind this risktaking Recent studies indicate that risktaking may be part of human nature 【11】 , with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars 【12】， as well as those who climb Qomolangma 【13】. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”， with the “T” standing for “thrill ”．
【10】with复合结构。
【11】that引导宾语从句。
【12】who引导定语从句。
【13】who引导定语从句。
Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities, Farley said, “They'll say, ‘I'm not taking risks, I'm an expert...’ They don't want to die and they don't expect to die.”
Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result 【14】．
With this in mind, are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks It's totally up to you 【15】．
【14】that引导宾语从句。
【15】It's up to sb.为固定句式，意为“由某人决定”。
[课文译文]
攀登珠穆朗玛峰：值得冒险吗？
去年，成百上千的人在一种他们知道会有拥挤、不适和危险的体验上花了很多钱，很多人会因为极度寒冷和低气压而生病，还有一些人甚至会失去生命。然而，尽管如此，旅行结束时，许多人已经计划重返这里。对这些人来说，攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一种无与伦比的体验，这种体验让一些人感到软弱，而另一些人感到强大。
英国登山家乔治·马洛里曾写过攀登珠穆朗玛峰的经历。“我们从这项冒险中得到的只是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和赚钱。我们吃饭和赚钱是为了享受生活。这才是生活的意义和生活的目的。”不幸的是，1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡，而他的尸体多年以后才被找到。至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登上珠穆朗玛峰峰顶。
2011年，美国登山家艾伦·阿内特说了一些与马洛里类似的话，那一年他登上了珠穆朗玛峰，并打算攀登世界各地的其他高山。“它会让你把重点放在对你重要的事情上。”他补充说，“纵使有一千个理由让你转身，但总有一个理由让你继续前进。你必须专注于那一个对你来说最重要也最独特的原因。它迫使你审视自己，去思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强，能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。”
大多数攀登珠穆朗玛峰的尝试要么大获全胜，要么彻底失败，这种冒险行为背后是否也有科学依据？最近的研究表明，冒险可能是人类天性的一部分，我们中的一些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花数年时间研究高空跳伞、飙车以及攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人。他把那些人的性格称为“T型人格”，“T”代表“刺激”。
法利在接受《洛杉矶时报》采访时谈到“T型人格”时说：“他们会说，‘我不是在冒险，我是这方面的专家……’他们并不想死，也不认为自己会死。”
研究还表明，我们寻求冒险的欲望与我们期望从结果中获益多少有关。
了解了这些之后，你认为攀登珠穆朗玛峰带来的好处值得人们去冒险吗？答案完全取决于你。

TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA
In 1866, a terrible sea creature is seen by several ships. Biologist Professor Pierre Aronnax and his servant①， Conseil, join a ship to find and kill the creature. After a long journey into the Pacific Ocean, the creature is finally seen. While attacking from the ship 【1】， Aronnax and Conseil, along with the whale hunter Ned Land, fall into the sea, and discover that the “creature” is actually a submarine②. They are captured and taken inside the submarine, where they meet the man in charge③， Captain④ Nemo 【2】. Ahead⑤ of its time, the submarine is also a secret from the rest of the world. In order to keep this secret, Captain Nemo tells his three newest passengers that they are not permitted⑥ to leave the submarine. While Ned Land can think only of escaping, Aronnax and Conseil are fascinated⑦ by their adventures in the new underwater world. In this part adapted from⑧ a chapter⑨ of the book, Aronnax describes the experience of walking on the sea bed...

海底两万里
在1866年，多艘船只目击到一种可怕的海洋生物。生物学家皮埃尔·阿龙纳斯教授和他的仆人康塞尔一起上船去寻找并杀死这种生物。他们在太平洋上航行了很久，终于看到了这种生物。当阿龙纳斯、康塞尔和捕鲸人内德·兰德从船上对这只生物展开攻击时，他们掉到海里，并且发现这只“生物”其实是潜水艇。他们被抓住并被带进了潜水艇，在那里他们遇到了负责人，尼摩船长。这艘潜水艇是一个超越时代的发明，并且一直是一个不为人知的秘密。为了保守这个秘密，尼摩船长告诉他的三个新乘客，他们不能离开潜水艇。内德·兰德一心想要逃走，而阿龙纳新和康塞尔却被他们在海底的新世界的奇遇吸引住了。在改编自这本书其中一章的这部分中，阿龙纳斯描述了在海底漫步的经历……
现在，我怎样来回忆在水下漫步给我留下的印象呢？语言不足以描述这样的奇迹！尼摩船长走在前面，他的一个手下紧随其后。康塞尔和我彼此靠得很近，近到好像我们可以透过我们的金属外壳听到彼此说话。我已经感觉不到衣服的重量，鞋子的重量，空气补给的重量，或头盔的重量，我的头在头盔里像一颗带壳的坚果一样摇晃着。
阳光照亮了海面下三十英尺深的地方，它的力量使我大吃一惊。太阳光很容易就穿透了海水，把所有的颜色都吸收了。我清楚地分辨出150码以内的物体。在更远处，颜色逐渐变暗，变成深蓝，然后逐渐消失。实际上，我周围的这片水不过是另一种气体，比地球的大气更稠密，但几乎同样清澈。我上面是平静的海面。我们走在又细又平坦的沙地上，没有皱褶，就像走在平坦的海岸上，它保留了海浪的痕迹。这条耀眼的地毯，实际上是一个反射器，以惊人的强度把太阳光驱散了，这就解释了通过每一个液体原子的震动。当我说，在三十英尺深的地方，我能像在大白天一样看得清清楚楚，你相信吗？
