What was the name of the first plane to fly across the English Channel?
In 1908 Lord Northcliffe offered a prize of $1,000 to the first man who would fly across the English Channel. Over a year passed before the first attempt was made. On July 19th, 1909, in the early morning, Hubert Latham took off from the French coast in his plane the 'Antoinette IV.' He had travelled only seven miles across the Channel when his engine failed and he was forced to land on sea. The 'Antoinette' floated on the water until Latham was picked up by a ship.
Two days alter, Louis Bleriot arrived near Calais with a plane called 'No. XI'. Bleriot had been making planes since 1905 and this was his lattes model. A week before, he had completed a successful overland flight during which he covered twenty-six miles. Latham, however, did not give up easily. He, too, arrived near Calais on the same day with a new 'Antoinette'. It looked as if there would be an exciting race across the Channel. Both planes were going to take off on July 25th, but Latham failed to get up early enough, After making a short test flight at 4,15 a.m., Bleriot set off half an hour later. His great flight lasted thirty-seven minutes. When he landed near Dover, the first person to greet him was a local policeman. Latham made another attempt a week later and got within half a mile of Dover, but he was unlucky again. His engine failed and he landed on the sea for the second time.

【Key structures】
介詞和關(guān)系代詞搭配連用,當(dāng)定語從句的關(guān)系代詞是介詞的賓語時(shí),能夠把可移位的介詞提前放在關(guān)系代詞的前面——正式
在非正式問題和口語當(dāng)中,介詞一般要放在從句的末尾
This is the person about whom I was telling you.
Is this the book for which you asked me?
決定介詞位置的四個(gè)因素
1.如果是口語,介詞位于句尾,同時(shí)關(guān)系代詞可以省略
2.非正式問題,介詞位于從句句尾
3.有些代詞+介詞,合成詞組被看作是不可分隔的語言單位
這個(gè)時(shí)候介詞必須緊跟動(dòng)詞,不可移位
take after account for...
4.在很多情況下,介詞和關(guān)系代詞構(gòu)成獨(dú)立的介詞短語,在句中起著狀語作用,與從句的謂語動(dòng)詞毫無關(guān)系,而不是謂語動(dòng)詞的一部分,這時(shí)介詞始終位于關(guān)系代詞之前
He described it was a very agreeable situation located within two small hills
In the midst of two small hills,flowed a great river.
He described it as a very agreeable situations located within tow small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river.
Mrs.Ramsay received an anonymous letter in which the writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands.
