One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, …‎ ‎ “one of + the + 形容词的最高级 + 复数名词”，意为“最……之一”。如：‎ ‎ Miss Wang is one of the most popular teachers in our school.‎ 王老师是我们学校最受欢迎的老师之一。‎ ‎2. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms.‎ ‎1) Difficulty既可作可数名词也可作不可数名词，在此用作可数名词。做可数名词时，difficulty常用作复数，表示具体概念，即：各种各样的“困难; 难事; ‎ 难题”。例如：‎ People learning a new language may face some difficulties.‎ 人们学习一门新的语言时可能会遇到一些困难。‎ 作不可数名词时，difficulty可译作“困难；艰难；辛苦；费劲”，例如：‎ He had great difficulty in finding a new job.‎ 他找新的工作费了很大劲。‎ We found the house without difficulty.‎ 我们轻而易举的找到了那座房子。‎ ‎2) include表示“包括；包含”，是一个及物动词。例如：‎ Does your price of the bike include this light?‎ 你们的车价包含这盏车灯吗？‎ ‎3. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.‎ ‎ It is + adj. + to do sth.， it作形式主语放在句首，而把真正的主语放在句尾。常用于此句型的形容词有important， difficult， dangerous， necessary， useful， possible等，用来对to do sth. 进行说明。此句型可以转换成To do sth. is + adj.。‎ e.g. It is important to study English well. 学好英语很重要。‎ ‎ It’s very difficult to climb Qomolangma. 攀登珠穆朗玛峰很难。‎ ‎4. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was ‎ ‎ Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.‎ succeed作动词，意为“实现目标；成功”，succeed in doing sth.意为“成功地做某事”。如：‎ The climber succeeded in reaching the top of the mountain. ‎ 登山者成功登到了山顶。‎ ‎5. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to ‎ achieve our dreams. ‎ ‎ 1) give up意为“放弃”，后面可以接名词、代词或v-ing形式作宾语。‎ ‎ 注意：如果其宾语是名词，那么名词可以放在give和up之间，也可以放在 up之后；如果其宾语是代词，那么代词只能放在 give和up之间。如：‎ My uncle wants to give up drinking wine. 我叔叔想戒酒。‎ Although English isn’t easy to learn, I won’t give it up. 虽然英语不易学，但我不会放弃。‎ ‎2) achieve our dream相当于make our dreams come true。‎ ‎6. Why do so many people try to climb this mountain even though it is dangerous?‎ even though 用作从属连词，意为“即使；尽管”，相当于even if，引导让步状语从句，一般不与并列连词but连用。如：‎ Mr. Wang will come on time even though it rains.‎ 尽管下雨，但王老师会按时来。‎ Step 6 Exercises 根据句意及所给汉语提示，写出句中所缺单词。‎ ‎1. We try to celebrate the ____________ (成就) of those great scientists.‎ ‎2. He wanted to reach the top of the mountain and he _________ (成功). ‎ ‎3. I have a small house.
