练习材料：

Fish and chips has always been a favourite dish in Britain, but as the oceans have been overfished, fish has become more and more expensive. So it comes as a surprise to learn that giant fish are terrifying the divers on North Sea oil rigs. Oil rigs have to be repaired frequently and divers, who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water, have been frightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work.Now they have had special cages made to protect them from these monsters. The fish are not sharks or killer whales, but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes, sometimes as much as twelve feet in length. Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs. As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water. Who eats who?

2.知识点

（1）Fish and chips has always been a favourite dish in Britain…油煎鱼加炸土豆片一直是英国人喜爱的一道菜……

　　fish and chips被看做是一个整体，因此，虽然chips是复数形式，它后面却要跟动词的单数形式。

（2）…divers…have been frightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work.……潜水员……曾在工作时被撞到他们身上的大鱼吓得惊慌失措。

　　①out of one's wits表示“失去理智”、“惊慌失措”：

She was frightened out of her wits by the great fire.大火吓得她惊慌失措。

②bump into的含义之一是“碰上”、“撞上”。

③as在这里相当于when或while

（3）.Now they have had special cages made to protect them from these monsters. 现在他们有了特制的笼子，用来保护他们免受大鱼的侵袭。

　　①have had…made 是使役式的完成式。

　　②protect经常与from或against连用

（4）favourite eating varieties, 深受人们喜爱的食用的品种。

　　eating在这里为形容词，表示“供食用的”，它有时也表示“宜生食的”：

　　Eating corn is quite sweet.食用玉米很香甜。

（5）the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs, 钻井平台周围根本没有捕鱼船只。

　　①total在这里表示“完全的”、“彻底的”(相当于complete)：

　　His letter is a total surprise to her.他的来信完全出乎她的意料之外。

②absence of表示“缺少”、“不存在”

total absence of 完全没有：total absence of mind 心不在焉

（6）it comes as a surprise + to do sth./that 某事令人惊讶

练习感悟：

    早上有点点偷懒，起得晚了，上班前只来得及听写完，朗读都是晚上回来才做的。听写的不是特别顺利，熟悉的单词拼出来，这频率更高了。不过有点小高兴的是，在完全不懂的情况下，拼出oil rig。
