Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions（探險） but this time， it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

Larry first began diving when he was his daughters age. Similarly， his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then，he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then， there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.

After the first expedition， Larrys later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back， Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes， he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least， he was still able to have photographs taken of the underwater creatures.

Larrys first expedition without his father in the Cayman Islands was very fantastic. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him， a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry did not even know what the time was， how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

Larry looked at his daughter hopefully. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already， she looked like much braver than Larry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

Activity A? ?Reading for understanding

Ⅰ. Text?centered chunks

make an exception 例外;破格

Ⅱ. Text?centered sentences

一、非謂語

1. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back， Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. （Para. 3） 身穿黑藍色衣服，背綁氧氣罐，Larry從船上跳進了海里。

【點石成金】“with an oxygen tank fastened on his back”表示“在他的背上綁著氧氣罐”，這里是with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，“with sth done”作伴隨狀語，同時表被動關(guān)系。

【運用遷移】手被綁在背后，這個小偷被警察帶了進來。

2. At least， he was still able to have photo?graphs taken of the underwater creatures. （Para. 3）至少，他仍然能夠拍攝水下生物的照片。

【點石成金】“have photographs taken”表示“拍照”，是“have+賓語+過去分詞”結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“使某事/某人遭受/被……”。

【運用遷移】我爸爸昨天去修理了他的手表。

二、結(jié)果狀語從句

The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.（Para. 4） 潛水的地方有各種各樣的魚和海洋生物，以至于Larry見到了三十多種生物。

【點石成金】該句為復(fù)合句。句中含有such...that...結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“如此……以至于……”，that引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句。

【運用遷移】他是一個如此懶惰的男孩，以至于經(jīng)?？荚嚥缓细?。

三、寫作支架

本次寫作任務(wù)是一篇觀點對比的文章，根據(jù)任務(wù)中的要求，語篇結(jié)構(gòu)可定為“描述優(yōu)勢+描述弊端+個人看法”。文章的框架如下：
