　　regards...as 把...视为. 相当: think of ...as / refer to ...as

　　海洋。

　　式短语to ring up rope ladders and to establish supply bases作真正的主语。

　　词汇注释：

　　ring up 草草作成 eg. Soldiers rigged up tents for the night.

　　make a descent 下落

　　3.Precautions of this sort are necessary,for it is impossible to foretell the exact nature of

　　precaution n.预防措施 Eg: We have to save our precautions of insuring my car.

　　take steps/actions 采取措施

　　4.The cave might never been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French

　　pot-holers,Berger.

　　背诵句型

　　结构分析：had not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French pot-holers,Berger是非真实条

　　件句，省略了if。即：如果条件从句中有were ,had 或should ,可以把if省略，把这几个词放到主语之前，构成主谓倒

　　装.

　　eg:Had he taken a little more time to think,he might have acted more sensibly.

　　5.They had to edge their way along this,cometimes wading across shallow streams ,or swimming across

　　deep pools.

　　背诵句型

　　6.After switching on powerful are lights ,they saw great stalamites-some of them over forty feet

　　high-rising up like tree-trunks to meet the stalactites suspended from the roof.

　　rising......roof 做宾补，补充说明stalamite的形态，不定式短语to meet......作状语，表结果，suspended form

　　the roof作定语，修饰stalamite.
