Lesson8 A famous monastery 的修道院
　　新概念3课文内容：
　　The Great St. Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2,473 metres, it is the highest mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St. Bernard, witch was founded in eleventh century, lies about a mile away. For hundreds of years, St. Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass. These friendly dogs, which were first brought from Asia, were used as watchdogs even in Roman times. Now that a tunnel has been built through the mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, but each year, the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty. Despite the new tunnel, there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot.
　　During the summer months, the monastery is very busy, for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars. As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept in a special enclosure. In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite different. The temperature drops to-30 and very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks prefer winter to summer of they have more privacy. The dogs have greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure. The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter. These young people, who love the peace of mountains, always receive a warm welcome at St. Bernard's monastery.

　　1.The Great St. Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy.
　　圣伯纳德大山口连接着瑞士与意大利。
　　语言点1:St.是saint的缩略语，意为“圣人”，经常放在人名或地名之前。
　　语言点2:connect somewhere to somewhere为固定搭配，表示“连接某地与某地”。
　　例句支持:
　　It was officially opened on March 7,1994,finally connecting Britain to the European continent. 它于1994年3月7日正式开通，将英国与欧洲大陆连到了一起。
　　2.At 2,473 metres, it is the highest mountain pass in Europe.

　　语言点1:句子结构分析:at 2473 meters放在句首，作补充状语，补充说明圣伯纳德大山口到底有多高。
　　语言点2:“at + N”表示“海拔高度是…”；“by + N”表示“距离是…”。
　　3.The famous monastery of St. Bernard, witch was founded in eleventh century, lies about a mile away.

　　语言点1:句子结构分析:which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰monastery of St.Bernard。

　　4. For hundreds of years, St. Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass.
　　几百年来，圣伯纳德修道院驯养的狗拯救了许多翻越这道险要山口的旅游者的生命。
