㈠ How can I improve my poor English
LZ, 如果你今年高三，那麼想在未來的一年裡再英語科目上有所突破還是非常有希望的。看的出來，你希望提高英語的願望很迫切，且把英語提高了對你也有很大的意義，本來只能上重點的說不定就可以上名牌了，是不？
意識到這一點，那你就得下苦功夫了。。。。英語其實實所有學科中最簡單的學科，學好它只需要兩個字：堅持！
堅持什麼，這就需要再決定堅持以前好好分析下自己的問題？我到底是哪個方面最差？這個問題很好解決，就是看看自己考試時哪類題做起來最吃力，最不確定，最花時間，失分最多？
如果是單詞拼寫的問題，那把以前的教科書全找出來，每天記憶上面的單詞，每周再復習上面的單詞，你自己可以根據自己的時間安排和英語程度制定每天記憶的目標。如果是閱讀的問題，每天安排30分鍾的時間閱讀，自己找你感興趣的內容，可有點難度但又不至於讀不下去。閱讀時可開上金山詞霸屏幕取詞，這樣就不用費時費力查字典了。讀不太懂也沒有關系，總之只要堅持，總有一天你會由有一種豁然開朗的感覺。。聽力的解決也是同樣的辦法。。找適合的材料聽，每天堅持。。。語法嘛，建議把教材的語法部分以及課堂老師的講義和語法題多復習幾遍，不懂千萬要問老師哈。。詞彙部分就是要把老師課堂講義、教材和詞彙題的固定搭配搞清楚，早上再大聲朗讀含這些固定搭配的句子，保你詞彙拿分，而且口語還有提高。
餘下的就是制定切實可行的學習計劃，每天按部就班的生活了。堅持就是勝利！希望你能考上名牌！

■從姓名看越前龍馬
性格獨特的人，有時會被認為是怪胎。積極向上，活動能力強，但容易在關鍵時刻操之過急。異性方面，不太注重外表。比起住家型的女性，更加適合個性鮮明，狂熱投入工作/學業的異性。
■從星座/血型看越前龍馬
魔羯座，O型
體力，精神力強。凡是堅持到成功為止的類型。但往往因為過於強烈的執著心而導致在成功前繞了遠路的現象。對於自己不感興趣的是過於冷漠，社交能力稍顯不足。和A型金牛座的女性最為速配。（可以引導出龍馬溫柔體貼的一面哦~）
■從料理/興趣看越前龍馬
因受到流著『武士』血統父親的影響，龍馬曾經住過美國卻鍾愛日本傳統料理，興趣也滿是和風的味道。泡澡時也經常加入不同的泡澡劑來抒解練球後的疲憊身軀。
■從房間擺設看越前龍馬
過去參賽所贏得的獎杯和獎牌被漠不關心的放置在櫃儲物櫃上面，東倒西歪。像其他學生一樣放置了鬧鍾在床頭，但很遺憾，效用並不大。制服和平常的衣物都放在門口的衣櫃里，龍馬脫了就隨便亂丟，媽媽會幫忙收拾進去。早上出門總是匆匆出門上學，睡衣脫了就胡亂丟置在床上。極其柔軟，蓬鬆的逗貓棒是卡魯比的最愛，通常會在龍馬房間的地下發現。擁有數種不同的游戲機，總會將使用機率最高的連接著電視。
（分析）
從雜亂的房間可以看出他一旦集中注意力，就會埋頭苦幹而忽視四周圍的情況。從獎杯和逗貓棒可以看出他對重視事物的堅持，和非重視事物的漠視。從以上可看出，龍馬個性純朴，很容易熱衷於一項技藝而有所專精。非常適合需要特殊技能的職業，如飛行員，太空人等。
■從擅長學科看越前龍馬
擁有經常求變的上進心
化學是以109種化學元素為基礎，探討化合、分解等化學變化的學問。將物質轉化為性質相異之物的變化合乎邏輯地予以印證，進一步去了解世上所有的物質。對追求網球的所有知識並吸收新知不斷求變的龍馬，化學正是最適合他的科目了。
■從打球類型看越前龍馬
勇於挑戰一切的精神天下無敵！蘊藏體內的「挑戰心」支援他向前邁進！
龍馬的行動總是令旁觀者備受沖擊。他的大膽行徑乃是源自高超技術與不懼風險的挑戰心相輔相成所致。從他經常狂妄囂張的發言中，亦可窺見他反而樂於挑戰逆境的精神。

㈢ 求翻譯這段英語片段 ....讀完這個要我寫作文，可是我連這段都讀不懂
正如地理學家估計，大約20％的地球表面被佔用的沙漠。我們大多數人看到沙漠，
事實上，作為一個獨特的一種景觀-很少或根本沒有降雨的地區的沙漠之間存在著差異，但在不同程度上。雖然是很常見，像我們這樣的外行看沙漠岩石或碎石或卵石覆蓋著，有一些大沙丘居住的地方。盡管降雨量是最小的，溫度不改變在沙漠中，從季節性的極端辣味和寒光都經歷過在白天和晚上的日常變化。
不利條件阻礙了許多生活在沙漠，尤其是缺乏水，居住在這些景觀的東西。不過，也有格外倖存通過自己高超的戰術，設法渡過依然強勁。一個這種專家一年生植物，克服季節性的溫度變化非常短，活躍生命周期。在突然下雨的事件，的植物種子pullulate和成長非常迅速，充分利用雨水。他們的鮮花盛開，設置種子，在烈日下迅速成熟。一旦水枯竭，母株去世，留下的抗旱種子，耐心等待下一個雨季到達。
土生土長在美國的沙漠，仙人掌，具有獨特的身體結構，適應乾燥的環境。該工廠已經腫莖，以幫助儲存水分，拿它通過幾個月。通過尖銳的松樹，而不是葉，失水通過呼吸被最小化。此外，這些尖銳的松樹也幫助植物抵禦草食動物，從而提高其生存期。
除植物外，也有動物在沙漠中具有鮮明的生存戰術。例如，石龍子（沙漠蜥蜴）代謝脂肪儲存在他們的球根狀的尾巴，產水，以補充他們的需求，就像做什麼駱駝穿過沙漠的長途旅行期間與儲存的食物在他們的拱。羚羊像Addax公司，有非常低的用水需求，因此是能夠容忍的條件在沙漠中，從他們所吃的食物中提取水分，
最後，還有sandgrouses，沙漠鳥的不具有特殊的功能，以克服乾旱就像在沙漠中的性質。因此，在這炎熱乾燥的沙漠中生存，他們需要花費很大一部分的時間在尋找水潭飛。

墨西哥的第一國花是仙人掌。墨西哥主要居民是印第安族的阿斯特克人。相傳版最初部族神指點權他們向南遷移，並說，當看到一隻老鷹站在仙人掌上啄食一條蛇的地方，就證明那裡富足、吉祥、可定居下來，會繁榮興旺。他們走到墨西哥，果然看到預示的景象，便在那裡定居。仙人掌成為他們堅強不屈，為捍衛自己民族利益而英勇斗爭的標志。

㈥ 藍卡英語 高三 閱讀最乾燥的沙漠的翻譯
沙漠里除了太陽和沙子以外還有其他的東西，在這兩頁中你會發現植物、動物和人如何設法在這片貧瘠的荒漠上生存下來。
2所有的沙漠都十分乾燥。我們談到沙漠時，腦海里便浮現出酷熱乾燥、細沙遍地的亞熱帶沙漠。它們分布在北回歸線和南回歸線附近，暖氣流在赤道上升下降，形成了晴朗少雨的氣候。撒哈拉沙漠占非洲面積的1/3，相當於世界上第四大國家——美國。撒哈拉並不一直都是沙漠，幾百萬年前被冰雪、海洋，森林和草原所覆蓋。
3沙漠上的風通常很乾燥，有些沙漠處在「雨影」地區，然而當風吹過高原時，便失去它們所攜帶的水分。有些沙漠處在大陸中部，等風吹過這些沙漠時，便失去了它們從速遠的海洋所吸收的濕氣。亞洲的蒙古戈壁沙漠就是內陸沙漠的例子。阿塔卡馬沙漠位於智利北部，是地球上最乾燥的沙漠。有部分地區從1570年到1971年接近四百年的時間沒降過雨，其他地區也沒有降雨記錄。含沙量最多的沙漠是塔克拉瑪干沙漠，沙暴能把沙土捲起3048米那麼高，撒哈拉沙漠的沙暴也非常兇猛，幾乎能將一輛汽車或飛機上的油漆噴掉。在炎熱的沙漠，夜間的溫度能降至報氏零下4度(24'F)，而白夭沙子的溫度可高速攝氏79度( 175'F )。
在沙漠中生存
4沙漠是生物生存十分困難的地方，白天天氣特別炎熱，1922年9月13日北非的利比亞沙漠在陰處測量的氣溫竟達到攝氏58度。沙漠的夜晚又非常冷，晴朗的天空使地熱迅速散發到大氣層中。沙漠中因降雨量少而使缺水現象非常嚴重，而是否能下雨又難以預測，連年的乾旱之後可能是大雨傾盆。許多沙漠地區是光禿禿的岩石，或被鵝卵石和沙礫所覆蓋。沙土只佔沙漠地區的15%。在一些沙漠地區，全年的降雨量也許只有一兩場。但這足以為植物的播種和生長提供必要水分，使部分沙漠地區有幾天也覆蓋著簇簇鮮花。檀物的生存方式
5下雨後的幾個小時內，成千上萬的有花植物開始發芽。許多植物的種子比如說沙漠蒲公英落在地上多年等待著雨水的滋潤，這些植物後又因乾旱死去，留下種子等待日後的雨露再發芽。
6其他的植物通過其葉、莖、根儲存水分，調節本身來適應惡劣的環境，如美洲的樹形仙人掌可儲存六至八噸水。沙漠植物的根須一般分布深廣，能從地下吸取每一滴水分，如牧豆樹灌木的根就深達20米。
7植物一般通過葉孔流失水分，為了防止水分的流失，沙漠植物都長著很小的蠟光葉和較小的葉孔，許多植物為防止水分流失白天還關閉自己的葉孔。為了保護自己免遭食草動物嚙食，一些植物長滿長刺或者味道極差，如仙人掌就用尖刺保護自己。只有美洲
㈦ 仙人掌作文
我自己家養了一盆仙人掌。我特別喜歡它，它全身上下長滿「針」，好像穿著「針衣」來保護自己。
記得有一次，我在給它鬆土的時候，一不小心碰到了它，它就狠狠地扎了我一下。我奇怪的問媽媽：「為什麼仙人掌沒有葉子？」媽媽回答說：「仙人掌為了不在沙漠里乾死葉子慢慢的進化成了刺。」因為仙人掌這么堅強，所以我就越來越喜歡這盆仙人掌了。
夏天到了，柳樹都熱彎了腰，蟬也熱的直鳴，就連天天蹦來蹦去的小弟弟也安靜下來。而仙人掌還快樂的站在我家的花盆裡。媽媽說：「仙人掌不喜歡水，而喜歡乾燥。不要多澆水。」突然有一天，爸爸說：「咱們把仙人掌吃了吧！」我說：「不行。」就在那天，我發現仙人掌長出了小芽來，我高興的喊著：「爸爸、爸爸、仙人掌長出小芽來了！」媽媽說：「咱們一起把它養開花吧！」我說：「好、好。」我有一天突然發現仙人掌彎了腰。我傷心地說：「媽媽仙人掌死了，」媽媽說：「你是不是給它澆水太多了？不，我每次澆花的時候就給它澆一點。媽媽又告訴我你一個星期不給它澆水都行。
看到了仙人掌我不得不戀想到它的這種吃苦堅韌的精神，就油然而生對它的敬佩，我們也應該像仙人掌那樣，在生活上，學會獨立生存的能力。不斷磨練自己意志；在學習上，要堅韌不拔，敢於吃苦，學到更多的知識，將來也使自己像仙人掌一樣渾身是「寶」，為社會做貢獻

To find out whether bees（蜜蜂）can see colours, the following experiment is made. A round table is put in a garden, and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard（硬紙版）with a drop of syrup（糖漿）on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive（蜂房）and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have found. After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card to its right.

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）.
1. Satellites travel _____________.
A. in space B. in the atmosphere

A Trip to the Forest
One day Bob took two of his friends in-to the mountains. They put up their tents (帳篷) and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing.
In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometres from their camp(營地), it start-ed to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face.
