课文B重点、难点1. It took more than a year for military planers to orchestrate every movement of troops, artillery, ships and aircraft and to set everything in place for the move that was to open up a second front in Europe. （line 5-7）军事家运筹帷幄，用了一年多的时间部署军队、大炮、船只和飞机，为这一行动作了周密安排，以便在欧洲开辟第二战线。在句中，it是全句的形式主语，不定式短语to orchestrate and to set.是全句的真实主语。more than为比较级短语，“比更多，多于，不仅”；not more than 不超过；no more than “不过；仅仅”。例如：Winter sleep is more than sleep. 冬眠不仅仅是睡觉。She is not more than thirty. 她不超过三十岁。She is no more than thirty.She is only thirty. 她只不过三十岁。2. Everything was controlled; right down to the placement of military decoys across the English Channel to fool the Germans into thinking the attack would come from Britains closest point to France at Pas de Calais rather than in Normandy as planned.

The fifth was chosen for D-Day to allow a safety margin in case the attack needed to be postponed.（lines22-23）6月5日被选定为进攻开始日，其用意是留下一个安全系数，以防万一进攻需要推迟。此句中in case 引导的条件状语从句。注意比较in case of, in the case of, in this/that case, a case in point等。2）postpone vt.推迟，使延期（ + sth.; + doing sth.）4. But an unusually stormy transition from spring toward summer that year held out little hope that there would be a suitable break in the weather（lines25-27）然而，当年春夏之交大风暴异乎寻常的多，想天气在这个当儿出现一个适合进攻的风平浪静的间隙，希望微乎其微。1）but引导转折从句2) that 引导的同位语从句，修饰hope.3) little表否定含义。5.
