In contrast, the medical needs of their Mother, she will go to the United States, Europe, India, a renowned hospital for treatment.

Contributions to the future
Mother of former employees, and the former Soviet Union cut Teresa Shields (Susan Shields) that Mother does not allow them to buy medical equipment, but will be transferred to the Vatican提岡donation bank, as a general-purpose, even if specifically states that the donor will be used for charity donations.

高考閱讀理解：王長喜英語四級考試書——標准英語閱讀全文翻譯100篇，每篇文章都有全文翻譯，後面的結構分析也很詳細，你可以買本看看，四級英語比高中的英語詞彙量大，如果看得話，可以增加你的詞彙量，當然，是高考超綱的看起來會比較吃力。

高中英語閱讀理解帶有全文翻譯：新概念英語第四冊吧，比較經典的書，幾十年了。

針對閱讀理解，建議還是提高自己的閱讀能力，我是速讀協會會員，給你推薦一個提高閱讀能的工具

1、閱讀能力是一個籠統的概念，閱讀包含閱讀速度、閱讀理解力、整理歸納分析能力等，語文、英語閱讀在閱讀速度、歸納提取重點兩個方面表現得更明顯。

2、培養閱讀能力，首先要掌握科學高效的閱讀方法，也就是練習快速閱讀（速讀），其次養成閱讀的習慣，多讀多練。閱讀能力是需要從小培養的，快速閱讀是一種科學、高效的讀書方法，它激活我們的「眼、腦」潛能，培養我們直接把視覺器官感知的文字元號轉換成意義，消除頭腦中潛在的發音現象，越過由發聲到理解意義的過程，形成眼腦直映式的閱讀方式。最終實現閱讀提速、整體感知、理解記憶的飛躍。具體練習可以參考：《精英特速讀記憶訓練網站》，《精英特快速閱讀記憶訓練》是我們協會認可的，安裝軟體即可進行試用訓練，我自己練習過的，用正式軟體堅持每天練習一個多小時，15-30個小時，閱讀速度差不多能提高5-10倍的。 提高閱讀能力，培養讀書興趣，讓閱讀成為習慣，對於提高自己的認知和思考不無裨益。

3、如果是正在考試或者正在忙著備考的學生，特別閱讀記憶差的，我建議學習一下精英特，精英特速讀也是我們協會認可的。

『伍』 高三英語閱讀理解四篇，求准確

這個的話還是要自己動腦不要起來靠別人

『陸』 急求一篇以「我對友誼的理解」為題的英語作文。不用太多，拜託各位了。先謝謝了

1.於完形填空題涉及面廣，綜合性強，能力要求高。因此，要提高正確率，除了掌握一定的詞彙量和一定的語法知識，具備一定的閱讀能力、分析能力和邏輯推理能力外，還必須掌握科學的解題方法，提高解題能力。我們可以採用以下步驟與技巧。完形填空一般無標題，首句一般不留空白，是完整的一句，全文信息從此開始。細讀首句，可判斷文章體裁，預測全文大意和主旨。完形填空題的文章盡管是有意地抽掉了一些詞，使信息中斷，造成間隔性的詞義空白，但仍不失為完整的語篇。閱讀全文要一氣呵成，盡管有空格、生詞或不明白的地方，仍要快速讀下去。讀時要注意找出關鍵詞、中心詞，劃出某些代表人物和情節的詞，以便於形成思路。對空格要填的詞可作試探性地猜測，為下一步選擇答案做好准備，打好基礎。要注意不要在未掌握大意的基礎上，邊閱讀，邊做題，這樣速度慢、准確率低。 通過通讀全文，掌握了文章的大意後，可以從頭開始邊細讀邊分析。根據上下文意思選取語法正確、語義貼切、語言准確的詞語。在這一過程中，一定要瞻前顧後，靈活答題。 所謂「瞻前顧後」，即先讀所填詞的句子，回顧上一句，兼顧下一句。如果一句中有兩個空白待填，在初定答案時要「雙管齊下」，在兩處同時試填，然後通讀全句，確定答案。另外在做題時要採取先易後難的原則，對把握性強的選項要做到一錘子定音。而對那些把握性不強的選項，不妨先放一下，接著再往下做，然後再回過頭來補填。這時，由於通過你對上下文的精研細磨，上文其意自現。答題時可採用 1）擇優法：根據文章及結構邊讀邊填，如果能夠立刻判定最佳答案的，不必再去逐個考證其餘答案。2）排除法：如答案一時難以確定，可按空格位置，從語法結構、詞語搭配、上下文語境、習慣用法、詞義辨析等方面，對選項逐項分析試填。排除干擾項，從而確定正確答案。 2.閱讀是主動地、積極地獲取信息的創造行為，是培養學生通過視覺感知書面文字元號並獲取信息能力的途徑，更是提高聽、說、寫能力的有力杠桿，它在英語學習中起著至關重要的作用。在近幾年的高考英語試卷中，閱讀的分值（閱讀理解，完形填空，改錯）佔了整個試卷分值的一半以上。99年高考英語試卷閱讀理解的篇幅在增長，難度也有所加大。筆者認為要提高英語閱讀水平，學生需做到以下幾點： 一、多採用Top-down閱讀法 自上而下（Top-down）閱讀是從語篇整體出發，把注意力集中在通過文字元號獲取信息上，即按文章所給的標題先對文章的內容與含義作出推斷，理解作者所要表達的意思。 運用自上而下的閱讀法的關鍵是培養學生預測、推斷文章內容和含義的能力，從而提高閱讀理解能力。 通過略看文章的總體結構安排或文章的標題來預測文章的內容及深層含義，可從下列幾方面去推測： 1.文章寫了哪幾方面的內容？ 2.作者將從哪幾方面來闡述？ 3.內容將如何發展下去？ 在閱讀時要注意不同的英文文體，因為文體對信息的組織和布局模式有著重大影響。訓練掌握各種英語文體的結構特徵，有利於歸納文章和進行邏輯推理。例如：記敘文以敘事為主必定有三個要素：情節、人物和背景。情節的發展多以時間、地點的轉移為線索。因此，閱讀記敘文時，必須抓住時間這條線索，以人物為中心，弄清故事的發生、發展、結局。再如議論文和說明文有一個共同點，就是段落大多有主題句（較多地出現在段首或段末），要抓住主題句，發掘每一個主旨，弄清文章的中心論點，以便更加詳細地預測文章的內容，吃透整篇文章的表層及深層含義。 二、正確處理好精讀與泛讀間的關系。 精讀和泛讀是閱讀時兩種主要方法，兩者相輔相存，不可偏廢也無法代替。 1.注重閱讀材料的選擇。 選擇合適的精泛閱讀材料是提高英語閱讀的重要手段。選擇字數為200左右，後面配有習題的閱讀材料為宜。閱讀材料體裁要多樣化——敘事類、科普類、議論或說明類、廣告類等。要注重文章的實用性。所選材料的難易程度以理解正確率達60%～70%，生詞量不超過4%為恰當。 2.精讀泛讀相輔相存。 比起泛讀，精讀是點。對一些有一定難度寫得較好的文章要進行剖析，要歸納、總結作者的寫作意圖、思路及中心論點，最後達到獲取詳細信息和深層次內容的目的。如果說精讀是點，泛讀即是面。只有通過大量閱讀，才能積累大量詞彙、結構和句型，才能積累大量詞彙、結構和句型，才能擴大知識面，培養語感，提高對文字的反應能力。在泛讀時，要根據上下文提高自己猜測生詞的能力，不要一看到生詞就

Once upon a time there lived an old man. He had three sons. One day, he called them together and said, "Sons, I will die soon. To my oldest son I give half my camels, to my second, one-third(三分之一), and to my youngest, one-ninth (九分之一)." Soon after that he died.
Now, the old man had seventeen camels, and the three brothers didn't know how to do as their father said.

The three sons thanked the old man and took his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished, The oldest took half- that was nine camels; the second took one-third, that was six; and the youngest took one-ninth, that was two.

We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male mosquito doesn』t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆蟲) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗蟲), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收獲)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you』ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液體) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散開), its enemies(敵人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
