“one of + the + 形容词的最高级 + 复数名词”,意为“最……之一”。如:

2. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
It is + adj. + to do sth., it作形式主语放在句首,而把真正的主语放在句尾。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等,用来对to do sth. 进行说明。此句型可以转换成To do sth. is + adj.。
e.g. to study English well. 学好英语很重要。
to climb Qomolangma. 攀登珠穆朗玛峰很难。
3. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams.
give up 意为“放弃”,后面可以接名词、代词或v-ing形式作宾语。
注意:如果其宾语是名词,那么名词可以放在 give 和 up 之间,也可以放在 up
之后;如果其宾语是代词,那么代词只能放在 give 和 up 之间。如:
My uncle wants to drinking wine. 我叔叔想戒酒。
Although English isn’t easy to learn, I won’t it . 虽然英语不易学,但我不会放弃。
5. Why do so many people try to climb this mountain even though it is dangerous
even though 用作从属连词,意为“即使;尽管”,相当于even if,引导让步状语从句,一般不与并列连词but连用。如:
Mr. Wang will come on time it rains. 尽管下雨,但王老师会按时来。
