When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark. she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find.During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small.Early next morning she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters' SOS' in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.

任务配置：L0 +L4

笔记：

1.知识点

（1）When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago…不久前，一架轻型客机偏离了航线

       flewoff course,飞离航线。

　　off表示“偏离”，为介词：Our office is off the main street.我们的办公室不靠大街

（2）the only passengers

    the only可以修饰复数名词，与复数名词连用的 the only 的意思是“仅有的”， “唯一的一些”。

（3）Snow Iay thick on the ground.地上积着厚厚的雪。

　　lie表示“处于某种状态”时，后面常跟形容词或分词：

　　When I saw her yesterday, she lay ill in bed.昨天我见到她时，她正卧病在床

（4）She stamped out the letters‘SoS’ in the snow.她在雪地上踩出了"SOS"这3个字母。

　　out在这里为副词，表示“出现”、“显露”等。

（5）It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the

survivors of the plane crash. 不久，一架直升飞机飞抵飞机失事现场，来搭救这几个幸存者。

    It wasnot long before…为固定句型，表示“不久就……”(也可以用 It will not be long before…表示将来可能发生的事)，

　　其含义与before long(不久)相近，只是before在课文这个句型中是连词，而在before long中为介词：

　　It was not long before they learnt the news.他们不久就知道了这消息。

It will not be long before he gets over his illness.他大概不久就会痊愈。

（6）It was the middle of winter. 当时正值隆冬
