4、 dark，I had to go to bed because I had no light.I couldnt read or write because I couldnt see.For a long time，I didnt know what to do.But in the end，I learnt how to use the fat of dead animals to make a light.The weather on my island was usually very hot，and there were often storms and heavy rain.Th
5、e next June，it rained all the time，and I couldnt go out very often.I was also ill for some weeks，but slowly，I got better.When I was stronger，I began to go out again.The first time I killed a wild animal，and the second time I caught a big turtle.I was on the island for ten months before I visited oth

10、我都工作着。首先，我把我的山洞扩大。我从洞里运出石头，经过许多天的艰苦劳动我在小山的一侧有了个大的山洞。然后，我需要一张桌子和一把椅子，这便是我接下来的工作。为此，我不得不长时间地干。我还想要找些地方存放我的食物，以及我全部的工具和枪支。每一次我需要一块木板时都不得不砍倒一棵树。这是一项漫长而艰难的工作，在随后的几个月里我学会熟练地使用工具了。无须焦急。我拥有世界上的全部时间。我依然每天出去，而且总是随身带枪。有时我杀死一只野兽，然后，就可以有肉吃了。但每到天黑，因为没有灯，我就只好睡觉。由于看不见我不能读书也没法写字，好长一段时间我不知道该怎么做。但最终我学会了如何使用死兽的脂肪来点灯。岛上
11、的天气通常很热，经常有暴风雨。第二年的六月一直在下雨，我不能够经常出去。我也病了几个星期，但慢慢地我好转了。当我强壮起来时，我又开始外出。第一次我杀了一只野兽，第二次我捕获了一只大海龟。当我去参观岛的其他地方时，我在岛上已有10个月了，在这期间，我为我的洞穴、我的房子、我的篱笆忙活，现在我可以进一步了解该岛其他地方的情况了。首先，我沿着一条小河岸前行。那儿，我发现一片没有树木的开阔地。随后，我到达了一片结着各种水果的树林。我决定多摘些果子把它们在太阳下放一阵晒干。然后就可以保存很多个月了。那个晚上，我第二次睡在了树上，第二天便又继续我的旅行。不久，我到了这个小山的开阔地。在我面前，一片郁郁葱葱
12、，鲜花遍野。还有很多各种各样的鸟类和动物。我明白我的房子是在这个岛的最糟的一侧。但我并不打算从那儿迁移，那是我的家。我在外待了三天，然后回了家。但我经常回到这岛的另外的绿色的一边。我的生活继续着。每个月我学会干点或制造点新的东西。但也总有麻烦和灾祸。一次一场夹着大雨的风暴来临，我的山洞的顶层塌了下来，差点就要了我的命！我不得不用很多木材把它重新建好。知识积累 1.make places腾出地方2cut down砍倒3turtle n海龟4But every time I wanted a piece of wood，I had to cut down a tree.分析every time在此用作连词，引导时间状语从句。I had to cut down a tree为主句。文化链接丹尼尔笛福(Daniel Defoe 16601731)，英国作家，新闻记者。英国启蒙时期现实主义小说的奠基人，被誉为“小说之父”。其作品主要以个人通过努力，靠自己的智慧和勇敢战胜困难为构架，采用自述方式，情节曲折，可读性强，并表现了当时追求冒险，倡导个人奋斗的社会风气。
