『叄』 英語閱讀帶翻譯，20篇哦
英語報紙上，練習冊上，很多的找找就有了
『肆』 初中英語的閱讀積累 15篇 每篇至少8個 好詞 好句 短語都行，中英對照
1.單詞的記憶
其實英語的學習歷來都把單詞的學習作為重點，初中也不例外。我們一定要記住，單詞記憶切忌孤立地，單純地背誦單詞。我們中學最習慣的背誦方法就是背拼寫，比如what這個單詞我們一般都是這么背what what，這樣只是記住了幾個孤立的字母而並沒有記住單詞，過不了幾天就會把這個單詞忘掉。那麼我們就要把單詞放在一個整體或者環境中背誦，比如我們不如記住下面一句話：What is your name?(你的名字叫什麼)那麼就不容易忘掉了。也就是說每記一個單詞都要相應地記住用這個單詞在內的一個例句，因為單詞的意思只能在句子中體現，有意思我們才不容易忘掉，而孤立的無意思的不容易記住。另外記憶單詞要利用一切可能的辦法去記住，比如分類記憶：我們把動物的有關詞彙放在一起，把有關校園的有關詞彙放在一起，或者天文，地理，等等。當然我們也可以利用諧音的方法自己編寫些小段子記住單詞。
2.語法的學習
初中是開始學習系統語法知識的重要階段。這階段語法學習好了，以後語法就會感到很輕松。首先應該明確是初中的時候我們學習的更多的是詞法而不是句法，因為畢竟從簡單開始吧，就算是中考題也基本上沒有多少句法的題，所以初中一定要把重心放在詞法上，就是名詞，介詞，冠詞，代詞，形容詞等上面，而這些東西是最零碎的也是最頭疼的，我們就更要有細心和耐心。建議每學習一個語法點，在學校教室里抄過一遍筆記後，回家靜下心來，再重新整理一遍筆記，去粗取精，這其實是回顧溫習的過程，並且要做好分類，不同重要程度的或者難易程度的要用不同的顏色區別對待，並時常翻閱。此外課堂上的語法知識往往和教材同步而並不系統，我們還可以再有一本語法書籍，甚至可以買高中語法，這樣有知識的拓展。
3.文章的學習
現在的教材文章普遍較難。所以閱讀文章難度是相當大的。學生在學習文章前一定要預習老師即將要講的內容，事先把自己認為比較難的單詞語法和句子劃出來，這樣就可以有的放矢。課本上的文章一定要精讀，不能說看懂了就可以，而是要把每一個重要的單詞和句子都要吃透。同時對文章中的經典詞彙和段落要記筆記，甚至要會背誦，為後面的寫作打基礎。加強英語學習，閱讀是重點，課堂上的文章太過教條和局限，可能缺乏生動性和樂趣性。因此課後也要多讀些課外文章。建議讀些國內出版的淺顯的英語文章，比如象「英語沙龍初級版」英漢對照著看，一定會有興趣和提高。
4.寫作的學習
寫作學習請大家牢牢記住下面兩句話。「讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神」，「熟讀唐詩三百首，不會做詩也會吟」，強大的閱讀功底是寫出好文章的保證，只有輸入得多了才能輸出得多，因此一定要多讀課外文章還有精讀文章。在具體聯系方面，我們並不需要寫太多字數的文章。因為初中生的作文並不需要寫太復雜的句子。僅僅是簡單句子的結合，所以說中學生的作文不叫真正意義上的作文，而是叫寫話。所以鑒於上述，我覺得英漢互譯寫句子是最好的寫作文的方法，把每句話成功的寫出來，再結合起來就是一篇好的作文了。

Now satellites are helping to forecast（預報）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大氣）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（氣象學家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比較）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed ring the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon. 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, 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. 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!
