On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon（氣球）.They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.

Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope（繩子）,and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight（重量）.It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.

After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men』s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.

At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London!

C. to visit Poland
D. more than a century ago

⑨ 提高初一學生英語閱讀能力的課外書有哪些

一方面，英語閱讀在英語測試中占的分值很高。不管是完型填空、補全短文還是短篇的短文理解，都要求學生有很好的英語閱讀理解能力。閱讀理解能力強與否決定著英語考試的成敗；另一方面，閱讀是在英語學習中要求學生掌握的四種基本技能之一。北京市特級教師王英民說過：「不會閱讀就不會學英語，閱讀是基礎，沒有閱讀，就不會有很好的聽力，沒有閱讀，就更談不上寫作。」英語閱讀能提高讀者的認識能力，從而促進其他三種技能（聽、說和寫）能力的提高。閱讀也能使人增長見識，拓寬視野。但是在教學中發現，許多學生在閱讀方面存在著困難，不知道正確的閱讀方法。本篇文章將從三個方面出發，主要闡述用什麼樣的方法來增長語言知識，養成良好的閱讀習慣，應該注意哪些閱讀技巧，進而提高中學生的英語閱讀能力，提高閱讀效率。
一、盡可能多的記憶英語單詞，增加自己的詞彙量
掌握一定數量的單詞是提高閱讀理解能力的前提。如果有大量的生疏的單詞,英語短文閱讀起來難度很大。所以掌握一定數量的單詞是學生提高英語閱讀能力的前提和保證。在農村中學，由於受到特定環境的制約和影響，學生在記憶單詞方面面臨著很大的困難。尤其現行的牛津英語的教材詞彙量擴大了不少，記憶的難度就更大了。記憶單詞的方法有很多種，在教學中我經常使用的有以下幾種：
1．詞彙表「八到」記憶法
這是中學生使用最多的方法之一，即將生詞表和人的器官相結合：眼裡看到、心裡想到、手裡寫到、嘴裡拿到、耳朵聽到、（結合實物還可以）鼻子嗅到、舌頭嘗到、手指觸到。學生在記憶時不要偷懶，一定要邊記邊比劃，把各個器官充分調動起來。這種方法使學生把目標詞彙與自己的大腦神經聯系，易記憶深刻，印象持久。
2．分類記憶法
即分析單詞的形態，將所要記得單詞根據其義、形、音進行分類。例如，按音標的拼讀規則記憶單詞，按詞性變化記憶單詞，按同音記憶單詞，教師還可教給學生關於英語詞根和詞綴的知識等；通過詞根加前綴或後綴可派生出新的單詞，將兩個或更多的詞放在一起，可合成新的單詞。
3．聯想記憶法
蘇聯著名心理學家巴甫洛夫指出：「記憶要依靠聯想，而聯想則是新舊正式建立聯系的產物。」美國心理學家威廉·詹姆士也說：「記憶的秘訣就是根據我們想記住的各種材料來進行各種各樣的聯想，而這些聯想就成了各種資料的釣鉤，萬一資料沉沒腦海，我們就可以通過聯想這樣的釣鉤將資料鉤出來。」充分運用發散思維展開自己的想像力，使所要記憶的英語單詞，生動、形象和具體化，使生詞與熟詞之間建立一種聯系，從而達到以舊帶新，快速記憶的目的。
除了記憶生詞表內的詞彙外，學生對於課外的詞彙尤其是熱門詞彙、新詞彙要知道意思。在閱讀材料時，常常會出現一些最新詞彙和縮寫等，如果不清楚，很可能影響對全文的理解。
二、 在平時教學中，注重培養學生的英語閱讀興趣
剛開始時，由於受各種原因的影響，學生對英語文章存在著一定的心理負擔和畏難情緒。教師要定期對學生進行一定量的訓練，一日一篇短文，用「蠶食」的方式來逐步訓練學生。在選材時，文章體裁多樣化，涉及面要廣，趣聞性要強。除了課本中的閱讀材料，教師還應該收集一些與學生水平相當、難度不太大、貼近學生生活、讓學生易感興趣的文章作為課外閱讀訓練材料。例如，可以使用一些關於西方國家風土人情、節日禮儀等方面的文章，還可以使用關於外國校園生活、笑話、寓言故事等文章。在學生讀後，要求他們做一定的習題，或寫出內容概要，這樣既可以提高學生英語閱讀理解能力，又可以訓練他們的口語、書寫能力。
在學生的英語閱讀達到一定水平後，教師可結合考試常見的閱讀題型，如說明文、科普文章等，讓其練習。對學生遇到的困難要鼓勵他們認真思考，推敲，要學會結合上下文理解文章的意思。可定期舉辦一些英語閱讀競賽，提供閱讀材料，要求學生在規定的時間內完成閱讀，要充分肯定他們的成績，讓他們感到一定的成功感。
