E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty. 中文理解：美国探险家R.E. 伯德在飞越北极3年之后，于1929年第一次飞越了南极。虽然开始时伯德和他的助手们拍下了飞机下面连绵群山的大量照片，但他们很快就陷入了困境。有一度，飞机似乎肯定要坠毁了。只有在飞至 10,000英尺的高度时，它才能飞过这些山头。伯德马上命令他的助手们把两个沉重的食物袋扔掉，于是飞机可以上升了，它在离山头400英尺的高度飞越了过去。伯德这时知道他能够顺利飞抵300英里以外的南极了，因为前面再没有高山了。飞机可以毫无困难地飞过这片茫茫无际的白色原野！ * **for the first time**：起初 / 终于 / 马上 / 首次 / 再一次；这些时间词不能随意互换，先看原文把哪两个阶段接起来。 * **were able to**：能够 / 无法；结合时间判断是一般能力还是某次实际做到；unable 带否定。 #### 1. the American explorer, flew… 简单句，主谓结构. 本句修饰成分较多，在一开始的时间状语中，over the North Pole 作定语修饰flight，这里额外标记了定语符号，并非从句. Byrd 的发音跟bird 一致. #### 2. Though, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs they ran into trouble. 复合句，主句主谓宾结构，句首是though 引导的让步状语从句，主谓宾结构，该状语从句中，含有一个that 引导的定语从句，主谓结构，修饰 mountains；that 在从句中作 lay 的主语。 \[关键句型] 复习be able to 的表达. #### 3. it seemed certain that their plane would crash. 复合句，it 是形式主语，真正的主语是that 引导的从句，主谓结构. #### 4.
