英语报纸上，练习册上，很多的找找就有了
『肆』 初中英语的阅读积累 15篇 每篇至少8个 好词 好句 短语都行，中英对照
1.单词的记忆
其实英语的学习历来都把单词的学习作为重点，初中也不例外。我们一定要记住，单词记忆切忌孤立地，单纯地背诵单词。我们中学最习惯的背诵方法就是背拼写，比如what这个单词我们一般都是这么背what what，这样只是记住了几个孤立的字母而并没有记住单词，过不了几天就会把这个单词忘掉。那么我们就要把单词放在一个整体或者环境中背诵，比如我们不如记住下面一句话：What is your name?(你的名字叫什么)那么就不容易忘掉了。也就是说每记一个单词都要相应地记住用这个单词在内的一个例句，因为单词的意思只能在句子中体现，有意思我们才不容易忘掉，而孤立的无意思的不容易记住。另外记忆单词要利用一切可能的办法去记住，比如分类记忆：我们把动物的有关词汇放在一起，把有关校园的有关词汇放在一起，或者天文，地理，等等。当然我们也可以利用谐音的方法自己编写些小段子记住单词。
2.语法的学习
初中是开始学习系统语法知识的重要阶段。这阶段语法学习好了，以后语法就会感到很轻松。首先应该明确是初中的时候我们学习的更多的是词法而不是句法，因为毕竟从简单开始吧，就算是中考题也基本上没有多少句法的题，所以初中一定要把重心放在词法上，就是名词，介词，冠词，代词，形容词等上面，而这些东西是最零碎的也是最头疼的，我们就更要有细心和耐心。建议每学习一个语法点，在学校教室里抄过一遍笔记后，回家静下心来，再重新整理一遍笔记，去粗取精，这其实是回顾温习的过程，并且要做好分类，不同重要程度的或者难易程度的要用不同的颜色区别对待，并时常翻阅。此外课堂上的语法知识往往和教材同步而并不系统，我们还可以再有一本语法书籍，甚至可以买高中语法，这样有知识的拓展。
3.文章的学习
现在的教材文章普遍较难。所以阅读文章难度是相当大的。学生在学习文章前一定要预习老师即将要讲的内容，事先把自己认为比较难的单词语法和句子划出来，这样就可以有的放矢。课本上的文章一定要精读，不能说看懂了就可以，而是要把每一个重要的单词和句子都要吃透。同时对文章中的经典词汇和段落要记笔记，甚至要会背诵，为后面的写作打基础。加强英语学习，阅读是重点，课堂上的文章太过教条和局限，可能缺乏生动性和乐趣性。因此课后也要多读些课外文章。建议读些国内出版的浅显的英语文章，比如象“英语沙龙初级版”英汉对照着看，一定会有兴趣和提高。
4.写作的学习
写作学习请大家牢牢记住下面两句话。“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”，“熟读唐诗三百首，不会做诗也会吟”，强大的阅读功底是写出好文章的保证，只有输入得多了才能输出得多，因此一定要多读课外文章还有精读文章。在具体联系方面，我们并不需要写太多字数的文章。因为初中生的作文并不需要写太复杂的句子。仅仅是简单句子的结合，所以说中学生的作文不叫真正意义上的作文，而是叫写话。所以鉴于上述，我觉得英汉互译写句子是最好的写作文的方法，把每句话成功的写出来，再结合起来就是一篇好的作文了。

Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）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（比较）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!

四．Do you remember when your grandma told you the story of Snow White? Ah, the happy days of childhood!
But did you know that Snow White comes from Germany? It’s just one story from the 209 in Grimm’s Fairy Tales (《格林童话》). The Grimm brothers started to collect fairy tales in 1806. Their first book came out in 1812.
Why are German fairy tales so interesting? Maybe it’s because they come from a great place famous for its stories – the Black Forest.
The Black Forest is in southwest Germany. It’s the largest forest in the country – and one of the most beautiful. It’s famous for its trees and lovely views. There are valleys and waterfalls (瀑布) there. It’s a good place to start a story.
Don’t forget to bring something back if you visit. People there are good at making clocks, musical instruments and watches.
