Lesson 25-1 TheCutty Sark
One of the mostfamous sailing ships of the nineteenth century, the Cutty Sark, can still beseen at Greenwich. She stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of peopleeach year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of past.
Before they werereplaced by steamships, sailing vessels like the Cutty Sark were used to carrytea from China and wool from Australia. The Cutty Sark was one of the fastestsailing ships that has ever been built. The only other ship to match her wasthe Thermopylae. Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 onan exciting race to England. This race, which went on for exactly four months,was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the great tradition of shipswith sails and the beginning of a new era.
The first of thetwo ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but onthe Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took lead. It seemed certain that she would bethe first ship home, but during the race she had a lot of bad luck.

知识笔记：
单词：1、impressive：感人的，2、reminder：提醒，3、vessel：船只，4、era：时代，5、take lead：带头，领先
音标：/dr/ 舌尖抵住上齿，作好发“d”的姿势，气流冲破阻碍，发出短促的“d”音后，紧接着就发“r”这摩擦音
练习感悟： 今天录了5遍才录完，这难度，读到舌头都一直打结，难怪当初我的英语越考越烂，而且始终都是学的哑巴英语，因为这样读英文，当初我根本没试过！
