『貳』 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
『叄』 考研英語閱讀原文
考研英語閱讀文抄章都是命題老師修改過的，不符合外國人語言表達習慣，且多處結構混亂，邏輯不通，就如同把一個人肢解後重新拼湊起來的一個血淋淋的怪物，不建議聽，學習這些文章雖然對考研有利，但英語水平會降低，最好還是放棄考研。
『肆』 求初中英語閱讀文章 （原文+翻譯）
1．Learning：A Lifelong Career【學習：一生的事業】
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
學習之於心靈，就像食物之於身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，並擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續的學習是在信息時代中跟時代並駕齊驅的最穩當的方法，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。
一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由於世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數日就將使人落後。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的慾望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業。
2．heavy shoolwork【課業繁重】
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded alts. High should be allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a rection of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我認為目前高中生的課業實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂並不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發揮被繁重課業扼殺的想像力。此外，繁重的課業加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我並非主張廢除學校課業，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業對於學生和整個社會都是有益的。
3．Time【時間】
Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change.
Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I』ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.
時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很多時間四處游盪，以致於我的成績開始退步。最後我終於了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。
現在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鍾早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來。回顧我所做的事情會啟發我如何重新安排我的時間。
4．Work and Play【工作與娛樂】
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a ll boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical ecation class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
工作與娛樂並不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味。」被工作重擔壓得喘不過氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調生活中的緊張與不悅。
放學之後，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我並不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期的工作量。
5．My first Job【我的第一份工作】
My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.
I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.
我的第一份工作是在一家補習班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業，考完聯考時的事了。既然我那整個夏天都閑著沒事，倒不如找份差事，嘗嘗獨立賺錢的快樂。
我負責接聽電話且紀錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時，一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重，所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過於花全部由自己賺來的錢了！
6．My Favorite Sports【我最喜愛的運動】
Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it almost every day.
Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.
運動能幫助每一個人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運動，特別是撞球，撞球是我最喜歡的運動。我幾乎每天玩。
撞球對我們而言，是一項理想的運動，因為它可以使我們全身運動，它可以增強我們的肌肉，擴張我們的肺部，促進血液循環，並且使肌膚產生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費不多。撞球是相當溫和適中的，它不像足球那麼粗野。它是一種室內運動，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，撞球是我最喜愛的一種運動。
7.經過一周的相處，我發現您是一個可愛而風趣的女士。上您的課時我總感覺時間飛逝。不過我還是不太習慣。不同於我們初中的學習方式的是，您總是在課堂上說口語。有時，我會發現您說的很難理解由於很快的語速、很多的生詞。這使我感覺聽課會很困難。對此我有一些建議。我希望您可以在最初的這段時間內，對您所用的生詞多作解釋。這將對我有很大幫助。謝謝。
希望我們能成為好朋友。我相信，以後聽您的課時我們將十分自信與快樂。
I found that you are a lovely and humourous lady after getting along with you for a week. Time flies when I am in your class. However I am not used to your way of teaching. you always speak English in the class, which is different from the way in middle school. Sometimes I found it's difficult to follow you because your fast speed of speach and many new words. Therefore, I have some suggestions. I hope you could explain more about the new words you often use ring this period of time. I think it will be a great help for me. Thanks.
I hope that we can be good friends. I believe that we will be more self-confident and happier in your class.

We all know that English is very useful. Many people in the world speak English. So more and more people in China study it.

You should listen to tapes every day. You should often speak English with your teachers and friends. You should read English every morning. And, you had better keep a diary every day. In this way, you can study English well.

『柒』 如何閱讀英語文章（閱讀的速度很慢，大約要25分鍾才能仔細看完一篇300詞左右的文章。）
如果是平時的閱讀練習，我提點建議：
1、尋找難度適中的閱讀材料。
一個基本的難度判斷標準是：隨意挑選材料的兩三段文字讀一下，如果約每50個單詞出現的生詞（重復的算一個）不多於5個，說明這篇文章難度適中，可以使用。5－10個之間，需要先查一下主要生詞再閱讀。超過10個的，建議暫不嘗試。
對於難度適中的閱讀材料，閱讀速度慢的問題只能靠多讀來改進。一篇文章可以讀兩到三篇，但更重要的是多讀不同的文章。以每次讀300字計，讀過30－50次後，速度就會明顯提高。也可以一次邊續閱讀更長的內容了。
2、對於閱讀中遇到的生詞
不一定都要去查意思。基本不影響文章理解的，可以不用查。但是，讀過的文章中出現的生詞／片語，最好至少查幾個你最感興趣的，並且記下他們的主要義項。有的單詞／片語義項較多，不用全記，只記文章中用到的義項即可。針對此義項，或者將例句記下，或者自己造一個句子，寫在義項後面。平時經常翻看一下。
3、如果感覺當前應達標水平的閱讀材料普遍存在生詞太多的情況，就要專門背一下單詞了。不要盲目背，就背本階段要求的單詞表，從低級往高級背。如四六級單詞、我當年用的劉毅單詞也不錯。但同時仍然要堅持閱讀，並且重點背閱讀與單詞表中都出現的生詞。
僅供參考。
祝學習進步！
