Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. 6. This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. 然而今天上午，一个消防队员偶然发现了起火的原因。 Accidentally 表示事情出乎意料地发生，即 “意外地、偶然地” discover含有偶然发现（某个已经存在的东西）的意思，在discover前面加上accidentally更加强了“偶然性”和“意外性”。  7. he noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,.000-volt power line. 他发现了缠绕在16，000伏高压线上的一条死蛇。 the remains表示“尸体”、“残骸”，必须用复数形式 wound为wind的过去分词。wind在这里不表示“蜿蜒”，而表示“卷在……上”、“缠绕”，常与around／round连用： Did you wind this piece of wire round the tree? 是你把这根铁丝缠在树上的吗？  8. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. 就这样，他解开了起火之谜。解释很简单，却异乎寻常。 Solve v. 解决 e.g. solve the problem 解决问题  9. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. 一只鸟把蛇从地上抓起来，然后把它扔到了电线上。于是蛇就缠住了几根电线。 snatch v. 抓 The man snatched her purse and ran. 那人抓起她的钱包就跑。（强调动作很快很猛） drop fall a. drop 表示 “使落下、使掉落”，是及物动词, 带宾语：  He dropped the bag. b. fall 表示 “掉下、跌倒”，是不及物动词，不能带宾语。 He fell down the stairs and broke his leg.  10. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire. 于是蛇就缠住了几根电线。当它这样做时，把火花送到了地面，这些火花立刻引起了一场大火。 When it did so…当它这样做时…… so常用于一些动词之后，代指前面提过的某个动作／某件事，以免重复： Has Susan got into University? I believe / think so.  本课所需掌握词组: put out in this way since then solve the mystery find out snatch up throw away wind… round  Comprehension questions 1 Where was there a big forest fire?
