5.The Komodo lizard is the world's largest lizard(蜥蜴). It was not discovered until this century and was named only in 1921. It was formerly found on three Indonesian islands: Komodo, Rintja and Flores. By the 1930's, in spite of government protection, the population of this great lizard had been reced to a few hundred. It was, however, still found on the three main islands and there were still lizards of over 4 metres in length. By 1963, after a period of only fifty years since its discovery, the entire population was based on Komodo. It is now unusual to see one as long as 3 metres. The lizard's normal food consists mainly of wild goats and pigs, animals which the islanders also hunt. This, of course, means that the lizard often gets too little to eat. It will certainly die out soon its hunting and breeding(繁殖) grounds are protected more effectively.
6.At the Barber's Shop(理發店)
Jack went to a barber's shop and had his hair cut, but when he came out, he
was not happy with the result(結果). When his friend Bob saw him, he laughed
and said, "What has happened to your hair,Jack?"
Jack said, "I tried a new barber's shop today, because I wasn't quite satisfied
with my old one, but this one seems even worse."
Bob agreed(同意). "Yes, I think you're right, Jack. Now I'll tell you what
to do when you go into a barber's shop next time: look at all the barber's hair,
find out whose hair looks worst, and then go straight to him."
"Why shall I go to him?" Jack asked. "But that would be foolish!"
"Oh, no, it wouldn't," answered Bob. "Who cut that man's hair? Just think
it. He couldn't cut it himself, could he? Another of the barbers cut it. So
you know he can't be the worst barber."
7.Mr Perkin's New Car
Mr Perkin stood at the bus-stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the cars
were new Beta 400s, and most of them were yellow. Mr Perkin always wore the
same clothes as other men, ate the same food as other people, and did the same
things after work, and at the end of the week, Mr Perkin did not like to be
different.
The following week, Mr Perkin bought a new, bright yellow Beta 400s. He was
satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more
satisfied with his new car, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind,
and on both sides of him.
Mr Perkin parked(停車) his car in a big car-park(停車場) near his office,
and walked the rest of the way. But when he came back at five o'clock, there
were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the car-park that he did not know which
car was his. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave
him a look he didn't like. So he stopped.
Poor Mr Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until his was the only yellow
Beta 400s in the car-park.
8.A long time ago people thought that the sun went round the earth. In some
countries people even said that the sun was a god(神). They thought the god
drove across the sky each day on a golden horse. Now we know the earth goes
round the sun. It takes the earth a year to go all way round the sun. Today
men even know how far it is for the earth to go round the sun. They tell us
that the earth travels over a thousand miles a minute on its journey round the
sun.\$
The sun is really a star. It is much bigger than the earth and it is very
hot. Some people have been to the moon but we know that no one can ever go to
the sun. It is far too hot for people to live anywhere near it. The sun is three
hundred thousand times heavier than the earth and more than million times larger.\$
9.The Farmer, His Horse, and His son
Once there was an old farmer, with a horse which was almost as old as himself.
He set out one morning with his son to sell the horse before it died. Father
and son walked, because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired.
They met two men on the road who said, "Why are you walking, farmer? You have
a horse, It's a long way to market(市場). "The farmer know that this was true,
so he rode on the horse, while his son walked.
Then they met two old women, "What are you doing up there, farmer? Can't you
see how tired boy is?" So the farmer got down, and his son rode instead.\$
Next, three old men stopped them, one said, "Why are you walking, farmer?
Get up, It's too hot for an old man like you to walk today," So the farmer got
up behind his son, and they rode on.
Some time later, a young woman passed them, "Why aren't you walking?" she
asked, "It isn't far to the market. Give your poor horse a rest."
So the farmer, and his son, got down once again. It is a fact that you cannot
please all the people all the time.
10.I Want to Be a Dustman

"A stman?" his mother asked, she was very surprised. "That's not a very
pleasant job, why do you

1、You would like to take good photographs of real-life situations but you have few ideas for pictures. I suggest you look around you. The everyday world is full of scenes being played by an ever-changing group of actors. You probably passed a dozen picture situations without noticing on your way to work this morning.

The realistic approach to photograph has been perfected in the past by such maters as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Bill Brandt. But while you can learn a great deal from looking at the work of others, any success you can hope to achieve in this field has to come from developing an indivial approach.

The main requirement for any photographer has little to do with technical matters. You must develop an awareness of the world around you and the people who live in it, and you should learn to notice when a situation may develop to a point where you will be able to take a good picture. Those who have reached this happy state will be prepared when that moment comes, and will simply raise their camera quickly and shoot. Others who are not so aware will be struggling with camera cases and lens caps.

Film manufactures must be delighted at the thought of the inexperienced photographer setting out in search of the right situation and the right moment. Many miles of costly material have passed through thousands of cameras as this endless search continues. But although a lot of this waste must be put down to inexperience, you'll find that even the professionals have to use a lot of film when they are out shooting.

Not every shot is going to be a winner. If you look at the work of even the best photographers, you'll notice dozens of pictures have had to be taken only because they lead up to the successful shot of a situation that the photographer has obviously been observing through the lens. You may find that you have taken one or two pictures after the right moment has passed as well. There is seldom more than one shot which stands out. There is just one point where it all comes together, and you often have to waste film to catch that precious moment.

3、In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call ring sleeping hours, he assumes(想當然地認為)it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise(產生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

1. "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m." Here "attached" means _____.

A. taken B. drawn C. given D. shown

A. everyday life B. school life

C. communication D. private life

A. The Voice of Time

A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A..

B. It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.

C. It is best for one to make telephone calls at eight because it costs much less.

D. If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.

文章介紹情感宣洩出來要比隱藏起來更好，但是需要用健康的方式去表達，而不能傷害別人情感 答案為ADBBC

1. 細節題：Some people in the UK use the expression 「take a deep breath and count to 10」, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry. 即A選項

2. 推斷題：文章沒有顯示劃線部分是哪個it，根據答案設置應該就是第二段第四行的it,答案是D。為便於理解，下面我們逐個分析。

   Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside. Everyone feels negative emotions such as anger and needs to deal with them. But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it. (it--anger).Shouting bad words at someone will hurt the other person or make them angry too. If you feel angry, it(形式主語） is best to think before you speak. Some people in the UK use the expression 「take a deep breath and count to 10」, meaning take a pause, breathe deeply and let yourself calm down instead of getting angry.

   Another expression people use to say they are controlling their anger is 「biting their lip」. This means not letting the bad words come out of their mouth. If you cannot think of anything but bad words, it（形式主語） is probably best to 「bite your lip.」 But sometimes letting all your anger out can be cathartic(宣洩情緒), as long as you do it（letting all your anger out） at the right place and time. If you have just had a bad day, you could go into a room by yourself and scream or yell very loudly. Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. Then after you let your anger out this way, you』ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.

   If you do lose your temper with someone, though, you need to apologize. One way to do this is to say 「pardon my French」. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. Then you can calmly explain what made you upset.

3. B細節題：第二段末尾說的很清楚：Then after you let your anger out this way, you』ll be able to deal with your problems more calmly.

4. B細節題：第二段倒數第二句Or if you want to hit someone or smash something, you could hit a pillow instead. ACD都是干擾項

5. C.回歸原文找到出處，定位至第三段，把握主題句。If you do lose your temper with someone, though, you need to apologize. 從這一句可以大致推斷本段圍繞道歉和補救措施。再往後看，One way to do this is to say 「pardon my French」. This expression has been used for many years as an apology for bad language. 這時候答案已經顯而易見。

6. Emotionsneed to be expressed but in a way that hurts no one.

   主旨題：從第一段的句子：Expressing emotions is important rather than hiding them or keeping them inside.和But there are healthy ways to express anger and ways to control it.可知作者認為情感需要宣洩，但是需要用不能傷害別人的方式

追隨你的夢想

Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.

追隨能夠改變你命運的那顆星，那顆永遠在你心中閃爍的明星。當它在你面前閃耀時，抓住這寶貴的機會。請謹記，只要你堅持不懈，最終的目標總能實現。

Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made, have faith in your judgment, catch the star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.

盡管實現夢想的途中有時會遇到障礙，要知道這是命運對你的挑戰。不是每個人都會贊成你的選擇，接受這個現實，並相信自我的判斷，追隨那顆在你心中閃爍的明星，它會引領你踏上命運的征途。堅持不懈，你就能享受那些幸福時刻。

Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination.

每前進一步，你都應引以為豪，因為它們是你實現夢想的階梯。要知道在這個過程中你也許會犯錯誤，但不要氣餒。珍視自我的潛能，因為它們使你獨一無二。生命中最珍貴的禮物不是花錢買來的，而是通過努力和決心而獲取的。

Find the star that twinkles in your heart for you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.

尋找心中那顆閃耀的明星，因為只有你自己才能夠讓美好的夢想變成現實。滿懷希望並全力以赴，你就能摘下改變命運的那顆星。
歲月是一把無情的刻刀，改變了我們的模樣，然而記憶中的那片湖水卻依然清澈如初，不曾改變。我們不能活在回憶里，卻不能忘記回憶，因為它是屬於我們每個人的財富。就讓回憶變成一本書，偶爾翻閱，還能感受到那份酸澀和純真。

『柒』 英語短文閱讀

看國家地理頻道，最喜愛各類野生動物。每每看過，總會感慨自然界的動
物活得難啊——覓食固不易，生存更危險；萬物相侵害，一環扣一環。

好不容易一口一口銜食喂大的小鳥，讓黃鼬一下就連窩端了，她窩里還有
一群小崽子；剛出殼不久的小海鷗、小企鵝，硬讓賊鷹從父母腳底下給叼走了；
至於羚羊、角馬之類食草動物，時刻都在肉食動物的窺伺之中，不得安寧……
危乎險矣，弱肉強食。野生動物的那點自由，需要何等的血的代價！

由此便想到狗狗以及同類，不能不佩服，聰明！以狗狗之肥胖、鮮嫩、笨
拙，在野生環境下絕活不過三天，肯定被吃得連骨頭也不剩。可是現在，它比
人吃得還好，睡得比人還放心。它的生存環境和野生動物一比，那它見的世面
就大了！

狗是動物中最聰明的，它看起來是投靠了人，做了人類的奴才；其實，也
可以反過來說是利用了人，揣摸透了人的弱點，讓人心甘情願地成了它的僕人。

人不是最虛榮、最有領袖欲嗎？那好，它迎合你，服從你，忠誠於你，讓
你高高在上，滿足你這點小愛好。

人不是最怕寂寞，最怕空虛嗎？那好，它裝憨賣傻，活力二八，跟隨左右，
陪伴終生，使你覺得最堪信賴的是犬不是人，所以有個億萬富婆臨終把遺產給
了愛犬而不給兒孫。

至於你捨不得吃肉而給它吃肉，你為它洗澡、治病、打針、梳毛、遛彎兒，
它吃得香了你高興，它屙不出屎來你蹩勁兒……如此服務，漸成習慣，回頭一
想，咦，似乎還沒對哪個人這么有耐性過！

這不是，你讓狗耍了，明知道你也願意。

而且，它絕不愁瀕臨滅絕。它的一個狗兒子明碼標價，它還沒生，就有一
大群人等著買呢！它不愁計劃生育，也不怕難產，有醫生給它做剖腹產手術呢！

要說狗現在過得比人好，一點不過分。住高樓別墅，乘豪華轎車，真是鍾
鳴鼎食、錦衣玉佩、公子哥兒、淑女名媛。可是人弄得這些，得奮斗一輩子還
不一定行，狗呢，一點勁兒不費，嘿嘿，坐享其成！

你說，是狗聰明還是人聰明。

．文中說狗狗見的世面比野生動物的大，你能結合文章說說它都見過哪些
世面嗎？

『捌』 適合初中生閱讀的英語故事小短文

Bertrand Russell

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love ,the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it , next, because it relieves loneliness-- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world , into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what -- at last -- I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much I have achieved.
Love and knowlidge , so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of lonelines, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

我為什麼活著

羅素

三股簡單而非凡強烈的激情一直控制著我的一生：對愛的渴望，對知識的追求和對人類苦難不堪忍受的憐憫。這三股激情，象陣陣巨風，把我在痛苦的海洋的路途中吹得任意東西，變動無常，直吹到了絕望的邊緣。
我尋求愛，首先是因為它帶來了欣喜若狂之情——欣喜若狂使人如此心醉神迷，我常常願意犧牲我的全部餘生來換取幾小時這樣的歡樂。我尋求愛，其次是因為它能解除寂寞——那種可怕的寂寞，如同一個人毛發悚然地從這世界的邊緣探望令人戰栗的死氣沉沉的無底深淵。我尋求愛，最後是因為在愛的結合中我看到了聖徒們和詩人們所想像的預言中的天堂景象的神秘雛型。這就是我所尋求的東西，雖然它也許似乎是人生所難以得到的美好事物，但這就是——最後——我終於找到的東西。
我懷著同樣的激情尋求知識。我希望理解人們的心。我希望知道星星為什麼發光。我力圖領悟畢達哥拉斯的才能，他的才能使數字支配著不斷變動的事物。在這方面，我只達到了一小部分，並不很多。
愛和知識，盡其可能，遠遠地把人引向九天之上。倡憐憫總是把我帶回到地面上來。痛苦的呼號的回聲在我心裡回盪。受飢挨餓的兒童，在壓迫者折磨下受苦受難的人們，無依無靠而成為自己子女嫌惡的負擔的老人，以及整個孤苦寂寞的世界，窮困與痛苦都在嘲弄著人生，使人們不能過應有的美好生活。我渴望減輕災難禍害，但是我力不從心，我自己也在受苦。
這就是我的一生。我覺得我的一生過得很值得。如果我還有機會的話，我將樂意再度過這樣的一生。

『玖』 如何閱讀課外英語小短文

這個要看你是否看的是專業性比較強的文章，還有就是所選的文章是不是與你內現有的詞彙量容理解水平什麼的相匹配了。如果是的話，閱讀起來相對容易一些，否則肯定是得花時間查單詞的。而且有的還有修辭手法什麼的運用。我們上翻譯課的時候經常會有整個句子單詞都認識，但是不理解句子意思的時候呢。另外，一般會選擇現在網上搜索一下有沒有電子版，有的話先下載下來列印，然後使用「海詞」或者「金山詞霸」此類的小軟體開啟「取詞」功能，那樣滑鼠點到哪裡就會對應的顯示單詞意思，用筆標注在你列印好的文稿中就行了。不過建議看第一遍的時候不要局限於先一個個單詞查，最好能通覽全文，把不明白的先劃出來，然後才開始進行猜詞和查詞。還是需要一個較長的積累過程，加油啦
