TEXT
Answer to the question: How rudder was torn away in heavy storm prevented it from winning the race.
The title is intitled “the Cutty Sark”, but actually it involves two ships. But the author clearly put the emphases on the cutty sark. The author first introduces the historical meaning of the Cutty Sark, and involves another ship--the Thermopylae in order to foil the importance of the Cutty Sark. While describing the course of the race, the author expresses his regret to the failure of the Cutty Sark-- “...didn’t win the race because of bad luck.” If her rudder had not torn away, she would have won the race. The author wrote a lot about the Cutty Sark and favor of the author lies in the Cutty Sark.

课文讲述了一场比赛，对有关的各个方面都需要做出客观的描述。描述的手法有很多，但是某些特定的词语或词组都可以帮助来完成这样的叙述。例如，课文讲到两艘船的实力时先交代：the Cutty Sark is one of the fastest sailing ships that has ever been built.
The only other ship that can match her was the Thermopylae. match 一笔带过，不需要再重复the Thermopylae的实力相当。然后要描述竞赛的过程：
The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had began was the the Thermopylae.
But on the Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took the lead.
It seemed certain that she would be the first ship home...
Because of this, the Cutty Sark lost her lead.
介，副词ahead after
As we know, we usually use subjunctive mood to expressive wishes.
There is no doubt that if she had not lost her rudder, it would have won the race asily.
It seem certain that she would be the first ship home.
不光是作者对the Cutty Sark情有独钟，现在每年还有很多游客去参观the Cutty Sark，why is the Cutty Sark so important? Especially for Britain?
Because Britain is a island country, if it wants to connect with other countries, ships are the most means to reach outside world.
除了地理位置外，课文还想我们交代了比赛的时间，不难理解，因为在大英帝国向外扩张时期，海上冒险是非常重要的事情，because sea exploration symbolize the peak of the great empire. 所以说他和the Cutty Sark这艘船其实是代表了大英帝国最辉煌的阶段。Of course, sea exploration is not only important to Britain but to human history as well. We all know how important Columbus’s discovery of new continent is. Deeply speaking, sea exploration has a symbolic meaning, it symbolizes a kind of adventurous spirit “the longing to know the unknown world, the longing to conquer the natural world”, so it symbolizes the progress of human history. 她其实是代表了一种冒险精神，一种征服自然的精神，所以，也可以说它代表着人类历史的进步。

IV. Summary
The Thermopylae reached Java first, but Cutty Sark took the lead on the Indian Ocean. When the Cutty Sark was struck by a storm, her rudder was torn away. A temporary rudder was made and fitted, but the ship lost the lead. After crossing the Equator, they called in at a port to have a new rudder fitted. Even with a new rudder, the Cutty Sark arrived in England a week after the Thermopylae, which was 500 miles ahead.

V. Letter writing:
Since we set sail from Southampton a week ago, the voyage has been awful. We have seen no sunshine, it has been raining all the time and the winds have been blowing hard. I have been seasick since we left.
This is only a small ship and there are only about fifty other passengers. Three or four have visited me and introduced themselves. they are all sypathetic because they have all been on lots of cruises before.
Tomorrow I want to go up on deck. We are calling into our first port, and I can’t wait to get onto dry land again!
