Lesson 42 Modern cavemenListen to the tape then answer the question below.With what does the writer compare the Gouffre Berger?Cave exploration, or pot-holing, as it has come to be known, is a relatively new sport. Perhaps it is the desire for solitude or the chance of making an unexpected discovery that lures people down to the depths of the earth. It is impossible to give a satisfactory explanation for a pot-holer's motives. For him, caves have the same peculiar fascination which high mountains have for the climber. They arouse instincts which can only be dimly understood.Exploring really deep caves is not a task for the Sunday afternoon rambler. Such undertakings require the precise planning and foresight of military operations. It can take as long as eight days to rig up rope ladders and to establish supply bases before a descent can be made into a very deep cave. Precautions of thissort are necessary, for it is impossible to foretell the exact nature of the difficulties which will confront the pot-holer. The deepest known cave in the world is the Gouffre Berger near Grenoble. It extends to a depth of 3, 723 feet. This immense chasm has been formed by an underground stream which has tunnelled a course through a flaw in the rocks. The entrance to the cave is on a plateau in the DauphinéAlps. As it is only six feet across, it is barely noticeable. The cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French pot-holer, Berger. Since its discovery, it has become a sort of potholers' Everest. Though a number of descents have been made, much of it still remains to be explored.A team of pot-holers recently went down the Gouffre Berger. After entering the narrow gap on the plateau, they climbed down the steep sides of the, cave until they came to a narrow corridor. They had to edge their way along this, sometimes wading across shallow streams, or swimming across deep pools. Suddenlythey came to a waterfall which dropped into an underground lake at the bottom of the cave. They plunged into the lake, and after loading their gear on an inflatable rubber dinghy, let the current carry them to the other side. To protect themselves from the icy water, they had to wear special rubber suits. At the far end of the. lake, they came to huge piles of rubble which had been washed up by the water. In this part of the cave, they could hear an insistent booming sound which they found was caused by a small waterspout shooting down into a pool from the roof of the cave. Squeezing through a cleft in the rocks, the pot-holers arrived at an enormous cavern, the size of a huge concert hall. After switching on powerful arc lights, they saw great stalagmites ----some of them over forty feet high ---- rising up like tree-trunks to meet the stalactites suspended from the roof. Round about, piles of limestone glistened in all the colours of the rainbow. In the eerie silence of the cavern, the only sound that could be heard was made by water which dripped continuously from thehigh dome above them.

NCE3 LESSON42 MODERN CAVEMANWORD POWERCaveman: people in prehistoric times who lived mainly in cavesTitle: modern ←→caveman (contrast)Pot-holing: cooking pot, teapot, a deep holeHole v. 挖洞引申：1.take pot luck: accept whatever is available, esp. food at a mealYou are welcome to eat with us, but you will take pot luck.有啥吃啥2.pot calling the kettle back: the accuser having the same fault as the person he is accusingsolitude: solitary statesoli:only<100 years of solitude>I love tranquil solitudeAnd such societyAs is quiet, wise and good.—ShelleyIf Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?——《Ode to the West Wind》Eg. after months of solitude on a desert, it felt strange to be in company.It provides one with a chance to reflect on spiritual matters in solitude.Lure: lure sb to do sthEg. Supermarket chains try to lure customers with price di .She used all her lures to his attention.LustSeven deadly sins: wrath greed sloth懒惰pride lust性欲envy gluttony暴食Undertaking: a piece of workEg. Organizing the show has been a massive undertaking.Undertake +task\responsibility\obligationsStudents are required to undertake simple experiments. 相关阅读:educationForesight: She had had the foresight to sell her apartment just before house prices came down. Hindsight: Whaat looks obvious in hindsight was not at all evident at the time.Insight: (Maugham<the moon and six pences>)ForeseeUnforeseeableForetellPredictPredictorProphetSoothsayerChasm: gorge, abyss补充阅读：罗素《我为何而生》背Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.rocks.flaw: imperfection 补充听力John Legend《all of me》eg. This vase would be perfect but a few small flaws in its base.Pride was the greatest flaw in his pflawlessdistinguished: very successful and reputeddistinguish between A and Bdistinguish A from B。
