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 a way, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty. 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. 在有个地方, 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, 因为前面再没有山了. 飞机可以毫无困难地飞过这片茫茫无际的白色 原野! 【New words and expressions 】（8 ） 1 pole [p ul] 2 flight [flait] n. 飞行，航班 3 explorer [ɪk’splɔ:r , -‘splʊ r-] n. 探险家;勘探者 4 lie [lai] v. 说谎 l 5 serious [si ri s] adj. 严肃的，正经的 6 point [pɔint] n.地点，位置 7 seem [si:m] 看起来 8 crash [kræʃ] n. 相撞，（飞机的）坠毁，迫降，哗啦声，轰鸣声 9 sack [sæk] n 大口袋，大袋子 10 clear v. 移走 11. aircraft [ɛ krɑ:ft] n.飞机, 航空器, 飞行器 12. endless [endlis] adj. 无尽的 n. 末端，尽头，极限 一．单词讲解 1. pole [p ul] n. 1) Pole n.波兰人 Poland 波 2) （地球的）极，极地 the North Pole 北极 the South Pole 南极 Pole-star 北极星/the North Star 3) 电极，磁极 the positive [pɔzitiv] pole 正极 the negative [neɡtiv] pole 负极 2. flight [flait] n. 飞行，航班 eg.
