⑴ 有關水果的英語閱讀

【mykey】：
《My Favorite Fruit》
The fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer』s shop.
It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.

I felt good. I felt I am free. I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Zhongshan. So I live alone but I don』t feel lonely. But I didn』t do something special. I stayed at home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an Englishdaily composition. It was my homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours.I thought I was very tired. It was time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry. July 10 2009 I am planning to spend my summer holiday on sports this year. Playing basketball is always my favourite, so some of my classmates and I will form a small team and play basketball together. Sometimes we may have a match against some other teams and I do enjoy the sense when we win the game. July 14 2009 Today I found time was a cruel thing. Whatever man is, time always goes on. It won』t stay to wait for somebody. You can』t use anything to exchange time. Time is also a fair thing. Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation, time won』t leave them more. Today I found I hadn』t enough time. Although I have more than a-month holiday, but I found I had a lot of things to do. I had a lot of homework to do and I am essential to complete the homework as soon as I have time. July 24 2009 I have rested for 10 days. In these days, I felt very bored. I didn』t know to do what. Although I had a lot of things to do, I felt uncomfortable. I was ill because of the hot weather. I was tired, sleepy and had no strength. My parents are worried about my health. in fact, it didn』t matter. I was always in the room with air-conditioner and opened it in a low temperature. So when I went out, the high temperature disagreed to me.At last, I was ill. August 6 2009 It was sunny today. I was excited. I got up at a quarter to seven. I made a appointment to meet at nine o』clock. After I had my breakfast, I went to the Wanjia Market . It was hot outside. When I arrived, my friends didn』t arrive. I waited for him in front of the KFC』s door. I haven』t seen them for a year. And in a year, we didn』t come into contact with others frequently. About ten minutes left, my friends arrived one by one. After we greeted,we went to play basketball in Liwan Gymnasium. The match last for tow hours.Oh!I fill very happy today! August 7 2009 Yesterday we played happily, but there were only ten people. I remembered last year there were twenty-two people at all. I heard some my friends had gone abroad. They went abroad to study. Maybe I couldn』t see them in the future. I think next year we won』t make a party. Next year is a very important year. We all will prepare the new term』s new subject.I know, it is the most important for us now. January 17 2009 Today, I still went to my mother』s office. My mother was very busy, so was my father. They always live in Beijing. They must get up early. Because they will manage the factory. So I know they are very laborious. So I should save my money. Also I should help them. Although I can』t do something useful, but I think I should share the work with them. I am one of my family member. In the future, I will take a job and work. It』 time for me to begin to learn how to work. January 18 2009 I have rested for a week. I began to feel bored. So I went out with my friends. They are my best friends in the middle school. We didn』t go to someplace special. We just saw the other. We had lunch together. While we were having lunch, we were still talking about the new school and new friends. Yes! A year later, we have grown riper. And we learned much more things and got new life. We haven』t enough time to play, to waste and to lose the way. We only have two years. Two years to go, we will get the real life which belongs to us. January 19 2009 I have stayed in Shanghai alone for a week. It』s time for me to go to my real home—it is in Beijing. My parents are waiting for me. Although outside is no matter how beautiful, Beijing is still my home. In fact, there is many fresh things. Like red bayberries. In the afternoon, I took a bus to Beijing. I was very unlucky that my mp3 was stolen. I was very sad. I didn』t know why thieves went to steal other』s things. Why don』t they hunt for a job? I don』t why! I hope there is no thief in our motherland. 1.My Dream Everyone has a dream. Now I'll talk about my dream i What is my dream? I often ask myself. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a soldier with a gun so that I could defend our motherland. Now I am a young boy with a new dream——to be a doc-tor. I want to be a famous doctor, helping the sick and saving their lives. Why has my dream changed? Well, at the age of 11 I was ill, badly ill. I was told that I had cancer. I had to leave both my school and my friends and go to the hospital. Every day I suf-fered the troubles caused by this illness. I also saw some people who were suffering and dying of ill-nesses. I made up my mind to become a doctor, so that I can help the sick people and cure them of their diseases. China is a develop-ing country. She needs good medicine and good doctors, especially in the countryside and lonely villages. I want to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. I want to let them have an opportunity to receive excel-lent treatments for their illnesses without having to pay much or any money. I'll do every bit to cure the incurable. I hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal diseases. I'm confident that through the joint efforts of you and me, man will put an end to his bodily sufferings and this dream of mine will one day be brought into reality. 2. my dream Everyone has a dream. Martin Luther King had a dream-and we can all recall his Civil Rights Speech.Phil Knight had a dream-and now the whole world knows his Nike Slogan「Just Do It」! I also have a dream,but not only a simple one. When I was in primary school,my dream was that I would be a doctor when I grew up.I』ll be the first person who proces a new medicine.This kind of medicine can make teachers relax when they are busy correcting their students』 exercises and preparing their lessons.Because one day when I woke up at midnight,I found my father,a senior Chinese teacher,was still busy with his work.I was deeply moved.I wish my father could be healthy and relaxed every minute. Now I』m a senior Grade Two student,all my classmates and I are working hard,we all know the College Entrance Examination which will come in the year of 2005 is a big problem for us.We must study harder and harder in order to go to a good university,then when we finish our school,we can find a good job in society.My dream is also that.Though now I』m not good at study,I』ll try my best. I know fantasy is hard to come true,but dream can. I』ll work hard for my dreams,I』ll never give up.

⑶ 怎樣提高初中英語閱讀水平

2
我的做法是：

(1)
學會猜測生詞，進行記時閱讀

在閱讀過程中常常會碰到一些生詞。
在一般情況下，
不必見到生
詞就查詞典，
這樣可以保持閱讀的連貫性，
不致於影響閱讀的速度和
對文章的整體理解。
那麼，
碰到生詞該怎麼辦呢？可以採用下列三種
辦法來處理：
①如果是專有名詞，
一般可以根據上下文來判斷它是人
名還是地名，或是其它組織的名稱。對於這些詞不認識關系不大，只
要知道它代表什麼就行了。
②通過構詞法來分析判斷。
如有些詞的詞
干是學過並且掌握了的，
只不過是加了前綴或後綴轉換了一下詞性或
詞義而已；又如有的是兩個單詞合在一起的合成詞，等等。對於這些
詞只要有些構詞法的知識就能夠猜測或判斷出它們的詞性或詞義了。
③另有一些單詞可以根據上下文的內容、
語氣來判斷它們的含義。
如
果遇到個別難以猜測其義而又會影響到對文章理解的單詞，
就應該查
閱一下詞典。閱讀能力的高低有兩個標志，即閱讀的精確性和速度，
因此，
初中學生可以經常做記時閱讀訓練，
以求通過不斷的訓練來提
高自己的閱讀速度和理解能力。將課文中的一些句子投影到屏幕上，
讓學生根據上下文來猜出劃線部分單詞的意思。

(2)
尋找中心詞與主題句。讓學生自己去尋找和歸納中心句和主
題句，加強對本段文章的理解。教完文章後，讓學生歸納中心思想，
這樣能加強學生對整篇文章的理解，把課文作為整體來教。

(3)
推知、
判斷作者的意思。
有些文章並不直接表明自己的觀點，
也不用明確的詞語表達。
而使用一些含混的詞語，
這就要看學生的理
解能力了。學生應學會認真閱讀，分析體會作者的思想。區別文章主
要內容與起輔助作用次要內容。了解文章的內涵和
"
弦外之音
"
。從而
進行正確推理。

第四，博覽群書，保證一定的數量。俗話說「讀書破萬卷，下筆
如有神」
，學習英語也是如此。英語文章讀得多了，就能夠把自己的
語感培養起來，
同時在閱讀過程中鞏固已學過的詞彙和語法知識。
通

3
過對不同題材的廣泛閱讀，
還能夠接受更多的信息，
了解不同國家和
地區的風土人情及歷史地理、
知名人物等多方面的知識，
這對於擴展
視野，促進其它學科的學習都是很有益處的。因此，必須把閱讀當成
英語學習的一個重要步驟，
不求每次閱讀時間和文章篇幅的長短，
但
一定要持之以恆地讀下去，這樣才能收到良好的效果。

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (互聯網), but how many of us know the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (網路) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made 'surfing' (瀏覽) the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get on-line (上網) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.
判斷下列句子是否符合短文內容，符合的用「T」表示，不符合的用 「F」表示。
l. The Internet has a history of less than thirty years.
T F
2. In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily.
T F
3. Computers become cheaper so that many hospitals and banks were allowed to use them.
T F
4. People didn't have enough software to get on-line conveniently until the early 1990s.
T F
參考答案：1．F2．T3．F4．T
講解：
1．第二段開頭講互聯網是在60年代建立的，故至今歷史已超過30年。
2．文中第二段闡明計算機網路工作狀況不好(didn't work well)。
3．第三段中說明大學、醫院等都被允許使用電腦，然而，計算機仍然很貴，並且網路很難使用。
4．由第三段最後幾句介紹可知，到90年代，計算機便宜且好用。科學家也發展了軟體使網上瀏覽更方便。而本題干用了not…until句型，譯為「直到90年代早期人們才有足夠的軟體上網」。

⑼ 關於星座（constellation）的英語閱讀，演講稿也行，不能有語法錯誤，初中水平拜託各位大神

· The first thing we need to know is that constellations are not real! The constellations are totally imaginary things that poets, farmers and astronomers have made up over the past 6,000 years. The real purpose for the constellations is to help us tell which stars are which, nothing more. On a really dark night, you can see about 1000 to 1500 stars. · When you look in a sky atlas, you might see diagrams like this: This type of schematic draws the stars as different sizes to represent different brightnesses. In addition, there is a standard way to connect the stars that allow astronomers and others who use charts like this to quickly tell what they are looking at. In almost every star atlas, you will see Orion drawn with these same lines. · Where did the constellations come from? Around the world, farmers know that for most crops, you plant in the spring and harvest in the fall. But in some regions, there is not much differentiation between the seasons. Since different constellations are visible at different times of the year, you can use them to tell what month it is. This dependence on the sky became a strong part of many cultures. Perhaps there is something about the mystery of the night sky that makes people want to tell stories about the constellations. · Something more about the Zodiacs The path the Sun follows is called the ecliptic . The ecliptic plane is the plane defined by the Earth's orbit around the Sun. All of the planets except Pluto orbit very near the ecliptic plane, so you will usually find all of them in zodiacal constellations. · And here are the 13 constellations of the Zodiac. The Taurus It also represents the white bull that sired the famous Minotaur with the wife of King Minos of Crete. This bull was sent to Minos as a sign that he was the rightful heir to the throne. However, Minos did not sacrifice the bull to Poseidon like he was supposed to, so the ever-vengeful sea god caused his queen, Pasipha, to fall in love with it. Later, in another myth, Theseus of Athens goes to Crete and slays the dreadful Minotaur, which was reported to be a man with a bull's head that could breathe fire. The Aries And at the end of the story, Helle lost her grip and tumbled from the ram into the narrow strip of water between Europe and Asia, now called Hellespont in her honor. Phrixus, on the other hand, arrived safely to the shores of the Black Sea where he sacrificed the ram and gave its fleece to a sleepless dragon for safe-keeping. Later, Jason and his intrepid Argonauts recovered the prized fleece and returned it to Thessaly. The Cancer Cancer is famous despite itself e to its Zodiacal origins. In fact, it is very faint with no stars brighter than 4th magnitude. The Leo You can find Leo in the sky by looking for the "sickle" starting at Regulus (Alpha Leonis) and following the backwards question mark. To find Regulus, use the Big Dipper as described on the Ursa Major Page. In more modern times (late 1600's that is!), Johannes Hevelius added the constellation Leo Minor. The Scorpius Scorpius is the beast which finally killed the Great Hunter, Orion. The Sagittarius The center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, lies in the direction of Sagittarius. It is believed to be about 29,000 light years away from us. The Sun orbits around the Milky Way once every 200 million years at a speed of 220 kilometers per second! What is at the center of the galaxy? No one really knows yet, but it appears that there might be a giant black hole there with a mass about a million times greater that the Sun. As we see, the astronomy may be a little difficult, but it』s not only quite amazing and fascinating, but also very contributive and important. So we think we can get trying to know it, understand it, and finally you』ll find yourself be drawn to it. And these days, there are many interesting conclusions of the constellations about the character, destiny and so on. We hope all of us can have a correct cognize to define these opinions, and find our own way to our life.

The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

【譯文】

老貓

一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。

於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記

住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【譯文】

一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：「我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。」然後他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土裡去。

他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然後他說：「今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。」

他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。

不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。

The Rain

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 總的來說在中國最重要的節日是春節,亦稱中國新年。對中國人民來說它的重要性就如方聖誕節對於西方人民。這個一年一次的節日日期取決於陰歷而不是格里歷，因此假日的時間變化從一月下旬到上旬2月。對普通的中國人，節日總是在除夕夜開始,結束於陰歷的第一個月的第五天。 但1第一個月的15號，通常稱燈會，在國家的大部分地區意味春節的正式結尾。
