The temperature drops to -30 and very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks Prefer winter to summer for they have more privacy. The dogs have greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure. The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter. These young people, who love the peace of the mountains, always receive a warm welcome at St Bernard's monastery. 01 02 03 04 05 2.新词及短语分析 1. 课文全文 总结问答 文章逐句分析 综合语法 Monastery[ mɑ n steri] n. 修道院，寺院；a sacred building where monks（和尚） live 同类词： convent：女修道院，A sacred building where nuns（修女） live temple：n.寺庙 abbot：n.男修道院院长 abbess：n.女修道院院长 pass /p s/ n. 关隘；关口 v. 动词词义拓展 pass on 传递 pass by/though 经过 pass out 晕过去 pass away 去世 经过，穿过；传递，传送；传（球）；（所有权）转移，转让；（状态）转变；（数量上）超过，突破；（时间）流逝；度过，消磨；通过（考试、课程等）；批准（法律或议案）；发生，说过；略过（问题）；排泄；使（货币等）流通；结束，停止；拒绝邀请（提议）；宣布，声明；（纸牌等游戏中）不叫，过 watchdog / wɑ t d ɡ/ n. a person or group of people whose job is to check that companies are not doing anything illegal or ignoring people's rights（监督公司活动及监护人们权利的）监察人，监察团体 例：a consumer watchdog消费者监察人 Are you taking the place of the watchdog 你要代替看门狗吗？ rash [r ] --rashly adj.轻率的，鲁莽的 n.皮疹 例子： Don't make a rash act./ Don’t act rashly 不要轻举妄动。 相关词汇： rashly attempt = unthinkingly try；鲁莽尝试 rush：v.猛攻，突袭；n.匆忙 reckless：adj.鲁莽的 lie [la ] v.躺，卧，位于; n.谎言，位置 例： The lake lies(位于） beyond this hill.
