语段讲解：
第一、词汇精讲
1. feed

It was a race against time to stop people dying from starvation.
为抢救那些即将饿死的人而分秒必争。
第二、加分短语
1. consist of ：由......组成
范例：A week consist of seven days.
一星期由七天组成。
2. so ... that....：太......以至于......
范例：He was so excided that he cannot fall asleep.

第三、失分短语
1. on Sundays：在星期日
讲解：表示事情一贯来就是发生在星期日，那么表示日期的名词要加s。因此，这里使用的是Saturdays。
2. a wild hungry eye：饿得发狂的眼神（目光）
讲解：eye在这里是作为“眼神，目光”的意思，这时候是不可数名词，不要在eye的后面加s。作为眼睛来讲，才是可数名词。
3. after supper：吃完晚饭后
讲解：表示晚饭后，吃完晚饭后，supper前面不要加任何冠词。
4. polish something with something：用.......把.......擦亮
讲解：用polish表示把......擦亮，表示方式的这个介词一定要用with，不能用by,on等也可以表示方式的介词。
第四、写作语汇
1. in the workhouse：在救济院里
2. serve the food：提供食物
3. three times a day：一天三餐
4. a long discussion：长时间的讨论
5. a piece of：一张（片，快......）

7. at one end：在一端
8. three months of：三个月
9. slow starvation：慢慢持续着的饥饿状况
第三、语法点拨
The room in the workhouse where the boys were fed was a large stone hall...
要点解析：划线部分in the house是介词短语做定语修饰room，where the boys were fed是有关系副词where引导的定语从句做定语修饰指代地点且在定语从句中充当状语成分的先行词room。
