㈠ How can I improve my poor English
LZ, 如果你今年高三，那么想在未来的一年里再英语科目上有所突破还是非常有希望的。看的出来，你希望提高英语的愿望很迫切，且把英语提高了对你也有很大的意义，本来只能上重点的说不定就可以上名牌了，是不？
意识到这一点，那你就得下苦功夫了。。。。英语其实实所有学科中最简单的学科，学好它只需要两个字：坚持！
坚持什么，这就需要再决定坚持以前好好分析下自己的问题？我到底是哪个方面最差？这个问题很好解决，就是看看自己考试时哪类题做起来最吃力，最不确定，最花时间，失分最多？
如果是单词拼写的问题，那把以前的教科书全找出来，每天记忆上面的单词，每周再复习上面的单词，你自己可以根据自己的时间安排和英语程度制定每天记忆的目标。如果是阅读的问题，每天安排30分钟的时间阅读，自己找你感兴趣的内容，可有点难度但又不至于读不下去。阅读时可开上金山词霸屏幕取词，这样就不用费时费力查字典了。读不太懂也没有关系，总之只要坚持，总有一天你会由有一种豁然开朗的感觉。。听力的解决也是同样的办法。。找适合的材料听，每天坚持。。。语法嘛，建议把教材的语法部分以及课堂老师的讲义和语法题多复习几遍，不懂千万要问老师哈。。词汇部分就是要把老师课堂讲义、教材和词汇题的固定搭配搞清楚，早上再大声朗读含这些固定搭配的句子，保你词汇拿分，而且口语还有提高。
余下的就是制定切实可行的学习计划，每天按部就班的生活了。坚持就是胜利！希望你能考上名牌！

■从姓名看越前龙马
性格独特的人，有时会被认为是怪胎。积极向上，活动能力强，但容易在关键时刻操之过急。异性方面，不太注重外表。比起住家型的女性，更加适合个性鲜明，狂热投入工作/学业的异性。
■从星座/血型看越前龙马
魔羯座，O型
体力，精神力强。凡是坚持到成功为止的类型。但往往因为过于强烈的执著心而导致在成功前绕了远路的现象。对于自己不感兴趣的是过于冷漠，社交能力稍显不足。和A型金牛座的女性最为速配。（可以引导出龙马温柔体贴的一面哦~）
■从料理/兴趣看越前龙马
因受到流着‘武士’血统父亲的影响，龙马曾经住过美国却钟爱日本传统料理，兴趣也满是和风的味道。泡澡时也经常加入不同的泡澡剂来抒解练球后的疲惫身躯。
■从房间摆设看越前龙马
过去参赛所赢得的奖杯和奖牌被漠不关心的放置在柜储物柜上面，东倒西歪。像其他学生一样放置了闹钟在床头，但很遗憾，效用并不大。制服和平常的衣物都放在门口的衣柜里，龙马脱了就随便乱丢，妈妈会帮忙收拾进去。早上出门总是匆匆出门上学，睡衣脱了就胡乱丢置在床上。极其柔软，蓬松的逗猫棒是卡鲁比的最爱，通常会在龙马房间的地下发现。拥有数种不同的游戏机，总会将使用机率最高的连接着电视。
（分析）
从杂乱的房间可以看出他一旦集中注意力，就会埋头苦干而忽视四周围的情况。从奖杯和逗猫棒可以看出他对重视事物的坚持，和非重视事物的漠视。从以上可看出，龙马个性纯朴，很容易热衷于一项技艺而有所专精。非常适合需要特殊技能的职业，如飞行员，太空人等。
■从擅长学科看越前龙马
拥有经常求变的上进心
化学是以109种化学元素为基础，探讨化合、分解等化学变化的学问。将物质转化为性质相异之物的变化合乎逻辑地予以印证，进一步去了解世上所有的物质。对追求网球的所有知识并吸收新知不断求变的龙马，化学正是最适合他的科目了。
■从打球类型看越前龙马
勇于挑战一切的精神天下无敌！蕴藏体内的“挑战心”支援他向前迈进！
龙马的行动总是令旁观者备受冲击。他的大胆行径乃是源自高超技术与不惧风险的挑战心相辅相成所致。从他经常狂妄嚣张的发言中，亦可窥见他反而乐于挑战逆境的精神。

㈢ 求翻译这段英语片段 ....读完这个要我写作文，可是我连这段都读不懂
正如地理学家估计，大约20％的地球表面被占用的沙漠。我们大多数人看到沙漠，
事实上，作为一个独特的一种景观-很少或根本没有降雨的地区的沙漠之间存在着差异，但在不同程度上。虽然是很常见，像我们这样的外行看沙漠岩石或碎石或卵石覆盖着，有一些大沙丘居住的地方。尽管降雨量是最小的，温度不改变在沙漠中，从季节性的极端辣味和寒光都经历过在白天和晚上的日常变化。
不利条件阻碍了许多生活在沙漠，尤其是缺乏水，居住在这些景观的东西。不过，也有格外幸存通过自己高超的战术，设法渡过依然强劲。一个这种专家一年生植物，克服季节性的温度变化非常短，活跃生命周期。在突然下雨的事件，的植物种子pullulate和成长非常迅速，充分利用雨水。他们的鲜花盛开，设置种子，在烈日下迅速成熟。一旦水枯竭，母株去世，留下的抗旱种子，耐心等待下一个雨季到达。
土生土长在美国的沙漠，仙人掌，具有独特的身体结构，适应干燥的环境。该工厂已经肿茎，以帮助储存水分，拿它通过几个月。通过尖锐的松树，而不是叶，失水通过呼吸被最小化。此外，这些尖锐的松树也帮助植物抵御草食动物，从而提高其生存期。
除植物外，也有动物在沙漠中具有鲜明的生存战术。例如，石龙子（沙漠蜥蜴）代谢脂肪储存在他们的球根状的尾巴，产水，以补充他们的需求，就像做什么骆驼穿过沙漠的长途旅行期间与储存的食物在他们的拱。羚羊像Addax公司，有非常低的用水需求，因此是能够容忍的条件在沙漠中，从他们所吃的食物中提取水分，
最后，还有sandgrouses，沙漠鸟的不具有特殊的功能，以克服干旱就像在沙漠中的性质。因此，在这炎热干燥的沙漠中生存，他们需要花费很大一部分的时间在寻找水潭飞。

㈥ 蓝卡英语 高三 阅读最干燥的沙漠的翻译
沙漠里除了太阳和沙子以外还有其他的东西，在这两页中你会发现植物、动物和人如何设法在这片贫瘠的荒漠上生存下来。
2所有的沙漠都十分干燥。我们谈到沙漠时，脑海里便浮现出酷热干燥、细沙遍地的亚热带沙漠。它们分布在北回归线和南回归线附近，暖气流在赤道上升下降，形成了晴朗少雨的气候。撒哈拉沙漠占非洲面积的1/3，相当于世界上第四大国家——美国。撒哈拉并不一直都是沙漠，几百万年前被冰雪、海洋，森林和草原所覆盖。
3沙漠上的风通常很干燥，有些沙漠处在“雨影”地区，然而当风吹过高原时，便失去它们所携带的水分。有些沙漠处在大陆中部，等风吹过这些沙漠时，便失去了它们从速远的海洋所吸收的湿气。亚洲的蒙古戈壁沙漠就是内陆沙漠的例子。阿塔卡马沙漠位于智利北部，是地球上最干燥的沙漠。有部分地区从1570年到1971年接近四百年的时间没降过雨，其他地区也没有降雨记录。含沙量最多的沙漠是塔克拉玛干沙漠，沙暴能把沙土卷起3048米那么高，撒哈拉沙漠的沙暴也非常凶猛，几乎能将一辆汽车或飞机上的油漆喷掉。在炎热的沙漠，夜间的温度能降至报氏零下4度(24'F)，而白夭沙子的温度可高速摄氏79度( 175'F )。
在沙漠中生存
4沙漠是生物生存十分困难的地方，白天天气特别炎热，1922年9月13日北非的利比亚沙漠在阴处测量的气温竟达到摄氏58度。沙漠的夜晚又非常冷，晴朗的天空使地热迅速散发到大气层中。沙漠中因降雨量少而使缺水现象非常严重，而是否能下雨又难以预测，连年的干旱之后可能是大雨倾盆。许多沙漠地区是光秃秃的岩石，或被鹅卵石和沙砾所覆盖。沙土只占沙漠地区的15%。在一些沙漠地区，全年的降雨量也许只有一两场。但这足以为植物的播种和生长提供必要水分，使部分沙漠地区有几天也覆盖着簇簇鲜花。檀物的生存方式
5下雨后的几个小时内，成千上万的有花植物开始发芽。许多植物的种子比如说沙漠蒲公英落在地上多年等待着雨水的滋润，这些植物后又因干旱死去，留下种子等待日后的雨露再发芽。
6其他的植物通过其叶、茎、根储存水分，调节本身来适应恶劣的环境，如美洲的树形仙人掌可储存六至八吨水。沙漠植物的根须一般分布深广，能从地下吸取每一滴水分，如牧豆树灌木的根就深达20米。
7植物一般通过叶孔流失水分，为了防止水分的流失，沙漠植物都长着很小的蜡光叶和较小的叶孔，许多植物为防止水分流失白天还关闭自己的叶孔。为了保护自己免遭食草动物啮食，一些植物长满长刺或者味道极差，如仙人掌就用尖刺保护自己。只有美洲
㈦ 仙人掌作文
我自己家养了一盆仙人掌。我特别喜欢它，它全身上下长满“针”，好像穿着“针衣”来保护自己。
记得有一次，我在给它松土的时候，一不小心碰到了它，它就狠狠地扎了我一下。我奇怪的问妈妈：“为什么仙人掌没有叶子？”妈妈回答说：“仙人掌为了不在沙漠里干死叶子慢慢的进化成了刺。”因为仙人掌这么坚强，所以我就越来越喜欢这盆仙人掌了。
夏天到了，柳树都热弯了腰，蝉也热的直鸣，就连天天蹦来蹦去的小弟弟也安静下来。而仙人掌还快乐的站在我家的花盆里。妈妈说：“仙人掌不喜欢水，而喜欢干燥。不要多浇水。”突然有一天，爸爸说：“咱们把仙人掌吃了吧！”我说：“不行。”就在那天，我发现仙人掌长出了小芽来，我高兴的喊着：“爸爸、爸爸、仙人掌长出小芽来了！”妈妈说：“咱们一起把它养开花吧！”我说：“好、好。”我有一天突然发现仙人掌弯了腰。我伤心地说：“妈妈仙人掌死了，”妈妈说：“你是不是给它浇水太多了？不，我每次浇花的时候就给它浇一点。妈妈又告诉我你一个星期不给它浇水都行。
看到了仙人掌我不得不恋想到它的这种吃苦坚韧的精神，就油然而生对它的敬佩，我们也应该像仙人掌那样，在生活上，学会独立生存的能力。不断磨练自己意志；在学习上，要坚韧不拔，敢于吃苦，学到更多的知识，将来也使自己像仙人掌一样浑身是“宝”，为社会做贡献

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（硬纸版）with a drop of syrup（糖浆）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（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）.

A Trip to the Forest
One day Bob took two of his friends in-to the mountains. They put up their tents (帐篷) 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(营地), it start-ed to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?
Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would hap-pen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometres in such cold weather!
