2、59分，东经86度56分）。,The Himalayas are among the youngest mountain ranges on the planet.

3、是最年轻的山脉之一。据地质学家考证，7000万年以前，这里还是一片汪洋大海，到了3000万年前，由于造山运动，南方的印度洋板块与北方的欧亚大陆板块相互碰撞，交叠相挤，形成喜马拉雅山地,羊卓雍错湖，如画似诗。“羊卓雍错”，藏语意为“碧玉、草原之湖”，位于西藏南部浪卡子县境，该湖是喜马拉雅山脉北坡湖盆带中最大的内陆淡水湖，湖面澄澈晶莹，湖滨土质肥沃，牧草丰富，也是放飞心愿和理想旅游圣地,地球之巅珠穆朗玛峰是喜马拉雅山脉的主峰，也是世界上最高的山峰。藏语“珠穆朗玛jo-mo glang-ma ri”就是“大地之母”的意思。藏语Jo-mo“珠穆”是女神的之意，glang-ma“朗玛”应该理解成母象（在

17、第二类动态动词是表示短暂动作的动词，如 hit， jump， knock， nod，tap等。 第三类动态动词是表示转变和移动的动词，如arrive，change，come，die，go，land（着陆），leave等。,2）状态动词描述状态，一般不用于进行时态。 静态动词有以下四类： a, 表达思维活动的动词：admit, agree, believe, know, mean, prefer, realise, remember， think, want b, 表达情感的动词：adore, care, like, dislike, hate, love, hope c, 表示拥有和存在的动词

The bus holds 50 people. 2) 动词have，当表示动作的发生或过程时，相当于take, get, receive, eat, drink等词，为动作动词；当表示“拥有”，相当于own, possess等词时，为状态动词，没有进行时态。 I was having my coffee quietly then
20、. (drink) The man has a new car. (own),3）动词consider,作“考虑”讲，为动作动词，后跟名词，动名词作宾语；作“认为”讲，为状态动词，后跟复合宾语、that从句作宾语。 We are considering your application. (考虑) I consider (that) you acted very wisely. （认为） 4）动词词组apply to中，如果apply作及物动词，是动作动词，意为“应用”；如作不及物动词，则是状态动词，意为“适用于”。 They are applying the new theory to practice. 他们正在把这个新理论应用于实践。 What I have said doesnt apply to you. 我所说的话对你不适用。,站长站素材 OM,Do exercise 8,9&10,Homework,The end,Thank you!,
