Over a year passed before the first attempt was made. On July 19th, 1909， in the early morning， Hubert Latham took off from the French coast in his plane the Antoinette IV. He had travelled only seven miles across the Channel when his engine failed and he was forced to land on sea. The Antoinette floated on the water until Latham was picked up by a ship.Two days alter， Louis Bleriot arrived near Calais with a plane called No。 XI。 Bleriot had been making planes since 1905 and this was his latest model. A week before, he had completed a successful overland flight during which he covered twentysix miles. Latham， however, did not give up easily. He, too, arrived near Calais on the same day with a new Antoinette. It looked as if there would be an exciting race across the Channel。 Both planes were going to take off on July 25th, but Latham failed to get up early enough， After making a short test flight at 4,15 a.m。， Bleriot set off half an hour later. His great flight lasted thirtyseven minutes。 When he landed near Dover, the first person to greet him was a local policeman. Latham made another attempt a week later and got within half a mile of Dover, but he was unlucky again. His engine failed and he landed on the sea for the second time.【课文翻译】1908年，诺斯克利夫勋爵拿出1，000英镑，作为对第一个飞越英吉利海峡的人的奖励。不过一年多过去了才有人出来尝试。1909年7月19日凌晨，休伯特.莱瑟姆驾驶“安特瓦特4号”飞机从法国海岸起飞，但他只在海峡上空飞行7英里，引擎就发生了故障,他只好降落在海面上。“安特瓦特”号飞机在海上漂浮，后来有船经过，莱瑟姆方才获救。两天之后，路易斯.布莱里奥驾驶一名为“11号的飞机来到加来附近。布莱里奥从1905年起便开始研制飞机，“11号”飞机是他制作的最新型号。一周以前,他曾成功地实行了一次26英里的陆上飞行。但是莱瑟姆不肯轻易罢休。同一天，他驾驶一架新的“安特瓦特”号飞机来到了加来附近.看来会有一场激烈的飞越英吉利海峡的竞争.两天飞机都打算在7月25日起飞，但莱瑟姆那天起床晚了。布莱里奥凌晨4点15分作了一次短距离试飞，半小时后便正式出发了。他这次伟大的飞行持续37分钟。当他在多佛着陆后，第一个迎接他的是当地一名警察。莱瑟姆一周以后也作了一次尝试，飞到离多佛不到半英里的地方。这次他又遭厄运，因引擎故障第二次降落在海面上。【生词和短语】pioneer n. 先驱lord n. 对（英国)贵族的尊称；勋爵Calais n。 加来（法国港市）overland adj。 陆上的【知识点】词汇【pioneer】例句：1。Henry Ford was a pioneer in the auto industry。亨利福特是汽车工业的先驱。2.If there is ever a core Europe or a pioneer group， Spain will be in it。如果说欧洲有一个核心或者是先锋集团,那么西班牙将会位列在其中.【overland】例句：1。Insurance covers both sea and overland transportation。保险应包括氺陆两路啲运输.2。Silk， light and easily rolled up, could travel overland.丝绸质轻而且容易卷起，能够在陆路运输。
