Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions,the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them ! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour--much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.

任务配置：L0+L4

笔记：

1.知识点

（1）A lot of cars entered for this race last year...去年有很多汽车参加了这项比赛...

    enter for表示"报名参加"

（2）It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble

trying to stop it.它在接近终点时。冲下了山坡，驾驶员费了好大劲才把车停下来。

①speed作不及物动词时可以表示“疾驶”、“急行”等含义:

The police car sped past us.警车从我们身边疾驶而过。

②表示“在...的末尾/最后部分”时可以用at the end of这个短语

③表示“做某事遇到麻烦/困难”时可以用have trouble doing sth

练习感悟：

at在It sped downhill at the end of the race句中要弱读，关于什么时候需要弱读，大概查了一下：

句中的单词在发音上分为重读和非重读两部分

1、重读的单词不会出现弱读现象，要读的响亮。

这些词一般是表示句子含义的词，如名词，动词，副词，形容词。

2、非重读的部分的单词要读轻。

这些词一般起到语法功能，如介词、连词、助动词等。

弱读现象存在于句子的非重读单词部分，对于句子非重读部分的单词，如果有弱读发音，就可以进行弱读；果没有弱读发音，发本来的音即可。

但是，有些情况不能弱读：1、句子最后一个单词不能弱读；2、特意强调的单词不能弱读，要重读。
