Where must the puma have come from?Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar. The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw a large cat only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of cat-like noises at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.【课文讲解】at large 1：逃遁的，没有被控制的。2：详细的(in detail)3：总体来讲（as a whole）在英文的表达方式中，首先呈现给读者的是结果。写议论文的时候要注意把握观点L01-02 end 1315”L01-03 begin 1309” eg: Pandas are large cat-like animals which are found in Asia.life-like 栩栩如生的一般来讲定语从句和同位语从句紧随在被修饰名词后面，但为了保持句子平衡，也可以把谓语动词放到从句之前定语从句只是对于被修饰词的补充说明、修饰。同位语从句则是讲述被修饰名词的内容定语从句的引导词： 指人：主语 who; 宾语 who/whom; 定语 whose 表达事物：that(也可指人)/ which 时间状语：when; 地点状语：where; 原因状语： why同位语从句：名词做主语、宾语时，关系词用that 而不是which 时间 when; 地点 whereeg: An idea came to her that she might do the experiment in another way.I have no idea what has happened to him.定语从句中没有what 这个关系词，但它可以引导同位语从句(An idea)come to sb.某人突然想到了take sth. seriously=deal with sth. seriously 认真（严肃）对待某事take sth. lightly: 草率对待某事as 随着过去分词做定语声称曾经作过某事： claim to have done sthI still remember the school where I studied English.L01-03 end 1309”L01-04 begin 1149” confirm: be sure, be certainsearch=hunt把某物留在后面：leave behindWherever he went, the wound soldier left behind him a trail of blood.伤员所到之处，都留下道道血迹。英文的表达方式重点在于突出客观事实，而中文则善于运用动作的执行者complain of / about :抱怨on + 名词：强调动作正在进行on the rise:在上升on the increase: 在增加on the watch: 在观看on the match:在比赛中on the fishing trip:在钓鱼的途中on holiday: 在度假fully: completely, entirely in the possession of sb=in sbs possession 归某人所有in possession of sth. 拥有某物take possession of 拥有eg: The beautiful car is in my possession / in the possession of me.I am in possession of the beautiful car.The person in possession of the big house is excited.It is disturbing to think that 一想到就心里不安eg: It is disturbing to think that I felt my examination.熟读并背诵第一自然段总结：at largetake sth. seriouslycling toleave behindcomplain ofin the possession of / in possession offeel obliged to investigatea woman picking blackberriesa businessman on a fishing tripgo on several weeksin the quiet countrysideL01-04 end 1149”L01-05 begin 1029” 【Exercises】A.
