⑵ 英語短文中心句

1
It was the first day of our winter holiday. All of us were
very happy. Why? Because we have one months to do things we
love to do. We are free. Although we have some homework. But
we can finish them in several days. And the rest time we can
make good use of. My god! We have been very tired after hard
studying. In winter holidays, I want to have full sleep and
eat good food in order to replenish myself. Last but not the
least, I will have a good rest.
2
It was the second day of our winter holiday. I felt good. I
felt I』 free. I had a lot of time to do things I like. My
parents are in Beijing. So I live alone but I don』t feel
lonely. But I didn』t do something special. I stayed at home
and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an English daily composition. It
was my homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours. I thought I
was very tired. It was time for dinner. I must go! I am very
hungry.
3
It was the third day of our winter holiday. Today, there are
many business in my mother』s company. So my mother told me to
help my uncle who is the manager of my mother』s company. I sat
in my mother』s office and help her answer the telephone. While
I was free, I was writing my homework. Although I also have a
lot of time to do my homework, I still do it. Because in my
mother』s office, I had nothing to do. If I did nothing, I was
wasting my time and my life. I can』t do the foolish thing. We
should take good use of our time.
4
It is a special day today. My mother sent one hundred basket
of red bayberries. I like to eat red bayberries. It tastes
nice. When they arrived in Shanghai, they were still fresh.
But most of them would be sent to my mother』s business
friends. I chose the best basket of red bayberries to eat. I
put the rest in my refrigerator. Red bayberry is my hometown』s
special proct. It is well-known in china. Many people like
to eat it.
5
Today, I still went to my mother』s office. My mother was very
busy, so was my father. They always live in Beijing. They must
get up early. Because they will manage the factory. So I know
they are very laborious. So I should save my money. Also I
should help them. Although I can』t do something useful, but I
think I should share the work with them. I am one of my family
member. In the future, I will take a job and work. It』 time
for me to begin to learn how to work.
6
I have rested for a week. I began to feel bored. So I went out
with my friends. They are my best friends in the middle
school. We didn』t go to someplace special. We just saw the
other. We had lunch together. While we were having lunch, we
were still talking about the new school and new friends. Yes!
A year later, we have grown riper. And we learned much more
things and got new life. We haven』t enough time to play, to
waste and to lose the way. We only have two years. Two years
to go, we will get the real life which belongs to us.
7I have stayed in Shanghai alone for a week. It』s time for me
to go to my real home—it is in Beijing. My parents are waiting
for me. Although outside is no matter how beautiful, Beijing
is still my home. In fact, there is many fresh things. Like
red bayberries. In the afternoon, I took a bus to Beijing. I
was very unlucky that my mp3 was stolen. I was very sad. I
didn』t know why thieves went to steal other』s things. Why
don』t they hunt for a job? I don』t why! I hope there is no
thief in our motherland.
8
When I got home, it was very dark. Why? There is no electric.
Every year in Beijing, there is lack of electric to supply.
Because there are a lot of factories. And it is very cold in
winter. So the government decided: supply electric to resident
and the factories must stop working. My house is in the
manufacturing district. I was unlucky. It was very cold. So my
father use the electric making machine to make electric. Oh!
What a unlucky winter!

⑶ 英語閱讀怎麼找中心句

首先要判斷文章的結構。
如果是先總後分結構。總是第一段，中心句一般是該段落的第一句/第二句/最後一句。
如果是先分後總結構。總是最末段，中心句一般是該段落的第一句/第二句/最後一句。

⑷ 英語閱讀說明文 技巧

英語閱讀題技巧，我個人的經驗，三步：1.迅速將整篇文章分解，理出文章結構；2.迅速抓住文章敘述的主題；3.迅速找出各部分的中心意思，兄困並找出表達中心意思的句子。做到這3步，基本上這篇文章不用逐字讀完就可以答對接下來的題目。先說一下，英語文章，尤其是用於考試的閱讀文章，其結構都有非常明顯的典型性，一般結構為主題段，論述段落，總結及結論段，乃至超長的畢業論文也不過是在這個大框架內。以一篇文章5段為例：一般第一段為主題段，也就是說，整篇文章要表達的主題一定會出現在這里，你要做的就是迅速把中心句找出來，一般來說，中心句會出現在倒數第2句或第1句，簡單一點的文章戚塵啟會在第1句就出現，如果考題出得比較難，也可能需要自己總結，但就算需要自己總結中心句，也一定能高如在該段落中找出代表中心意思的詞；接下來第二、三、四段，各段將對第一段提出的主題意思進行論述或分步驟分析，也就是說，每個段落都會有進階的主題，即個各分論點，所以你要做的同樣是迅速把它們找出來，位置和方法相同；最後一段為全文的總結，並會對結論進行進一步的分析，或做推測，或作評論，這也是一個出題點，你要做的就是抓住總結的主旨和對其進一步分析的結論。當然並不會所有文章都是5段，例如有的主題段落會有2段甚至更多，論點段落可能只有2段或多達4段以上（但一般不超過3段），難一點的文章里每個分論點也可能不止一段，我這里只是以5段為例，解釋的是文章的結構，或者說一般構成，通過這個規律可以迅速將文章進行分解，進而掌握各部分的要點。下面分析一下出題要點，或者說出題規律（如果題不會出得很偏的話），以一篇閱讀文5題為例，一般為1個主題、1個分論點、2個細節題、1個結論或對結論的分析、推測。可見掌握文章主題、分論點及結論分析就可以答對3/5，這是不需要逐字逐句讀完全文的，而2個細節題怎麼辦呢，就需要通過題目提供的信息迅速分析出其所在的分論點，然後回到該分論點段落找到與這題相符的句子，一般如果題出得簡單的話會是原句照搬，難一點的話會換個表達方式，再難一點則會繞個圈設個陷阱，這就需要非常小心，一定要捨得多花2秒鍾把這句話和前後兩句反復閱讀，挖出陷阱。這樣的話5道題都可以迎刃而解了，這就叫針對性解題。說一下我的閱讀答題習慣吧，一般我第一時間會先看題，並且非常認真的理解每道題的意思，提取有用的信息，雖然一般並不容易只通過問題一下子就找出文章主題，但一定能找到跟主題有關的詞和信息，並且至少知道文章是在討論某個東西還是在敘述某件事，也就是說是議論文、說明文，還是敘述文，然後迅速按上面的三步走，這樣帶著問題掃讀全文，連細節題也可以非常迅速的找出來，最後將問題一一對應，全部解決！這些就是我一路考到專八的閱讀題經驗，方法交給你了，接下來就是多多練習，只有多練才能練到爐火純青的地步，最後做閱讀題簡直是輕松+愉快！好了，說了這么多，希望對你有所幫助！

⑸ 我要英語10篇短文帶題目生詞中心句

編輯本段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。編輯本段2．heavy schoolwork【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 school students should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercises 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。最後，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。編輯本段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。編輯本段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 watching 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，來宣洩你被壓抑的情緒，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，享受視覺盛宴。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。編輯本段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,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！編輯本段6．My Favorite Sport【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 for 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，特別是乒乓球，乒乓球是我最喜歡的運動。我幾乎每天玩。 乒乓球對我們而言，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。乒乓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，乒乓球是我最喜愛的一種運動。編輯本段7．Fox and cock【狐狸和公雞】One morning a fox saw a cock.He thought,"This is my breakfast.'' He came up to the cock and said,"I know you can sing very well.Would you like to sing for me?''The cock was glad.He closed his eyes and began to sing.The fox saw that and caught him in his mouth and carried him away. People in the field saw the fox.They shouted："Look,look!The fox is carrying our cock away.''The cock said to the fox,"Mr Fox,do you understand?The people say you are carrying their cock away.Tell them it is yours.Not theirs.'' The fox opened his mouth and said,"The cock is mine,not yours.''Just then the cock ran away from the fox and fled into the tree. 一天早上，一隻狐狸看到了一隻公雞。他想：這是我的早餐。 他朝公雞走來，對他說：「我知道，你唱歌非常好聽，你能唱首歌給我聽么？」公雞很高興。他閉上眼睛開始唱歌。狐狸看到這些抓住它放到自己的嘴裡走了。 在田地里的人們看到了狐狸。大喊大叫：「看，看！狐狸抓住公雞逃走了。」公雞對狐狸說：「狐狸先生，你能理解么？人們認為你叼走了公雞。告訴他們這是你的，不是他們的。」 狐狸張開他的嘴說：「公雞是我的，不是你們的。」就在那時，公雞逃離了狐狸的嘴巴，跑到了樹底下。編輯本段8．The City Mouse and the Country Mouse【城裡老鼠和鄉下老鼠】Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid." 從前，有兩只老鼠，它們是好朋友。一隻老鼠居住在鄉村，另一隻住在城裡。很多年以後，鄉下老鼠碰到城裡老鼠，它說：「你一定要來我鄉下的家看看。」於是，城裡老鼠就去了。城裡老鼠說：「這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你為什麼住在田野的地洞里呢？你應該搬到城裡去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，還會吃上美味佳餚，你應該到我城裡的家看看。」 鄉下老鼠就到城裡老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的東西也為他們擺好了。可是正當他們要開始吃的時候，聽見很大的一陣響聲，城裡的老鼠叫喊起來：「快跑！快跑！貓來了！」他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來。 過了一會兒，他們出來了。當他們出來時，鄉下老鼠說：「我不喜歡住在城裡，我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。因為這樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在，比起雖然富有卻要過著提心吊膽的生活來說，要好些。」編輯本段9. The Old Cat【老貓】An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。 於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」 A Sunday school teacher was telling her pupils the importance of making others glad. "Now, children," said she , "has anyone of you ever make someone else glad?"

"Please, teacher,"said a small boy,"I've make someone glad yesterday."

"Well done. Who was that?"

"My granny."

"Good boy. Now tell us how you made your grandmother glad."

"Please, teacher, I went to see her yesterday, and stayed with her three hours. Then I said to her, 'Granny, I'm going home,' and she said, 'Well, I'm glad'!"

一個主日學校校(基督教教會為了向兒童灌輸宗教思想, 在星期天開辦的兒童班)的老師在對學生講使別人高興的重要性。「現在，孩子們，」她說：「你們當中有誰讓別人高興過？」

「我，老師，」一個小男孩說：「昨天我就使別人高興過。」

「做得好，是誰呢？」

「我奶奶。」

「好孩子。現在告訴我們，你是怎樣使你奶奶高興的。」

「是這樣的，老師。我昨天去看她，在她那兒呆了三個小時。然後我跟她說：『奶奶，我要回家了。』她說：『啊，我很高興！

⑹ 英語閱讀如何給段落畫中心句

看懂段落大意，仔細推敲。
關鍵語句，段落第一句，最後一句可能性大。
和語文差不多

⑺ 怎樣提高英語閱讀水平怎樣能快速找中心句

（一）重視英語詞彙和習慣用法的積累

美國語言學家Driller (1978)根據詞彙統計特徵指出：如果我們認得25個最常見的英文單詞，平均每頁紙上的詞我們會認得33%；如果認得135個常用詞，則為50%；如果認得2500個，則為78%；如果認得5 000個，則為80%；一旦記得10 000個，可達92%。可見，閱讀能力的高低和詞彙量的大小是分不開的，目前大部分學生的詞彙量偏少, 這是影響閱讀能力提高的主要因素。那麼怎樣才能提高學生的詞彙量呢？

1． 構詞記憶法

據估計，英語詞彙有100萬到120萬，但大部分單詞是由構詞法構成的。構詞法包括派生、合成和轉化。在教學中，讓學生掌握常用的前綴（un/dis/im/il /super.）、後綴( ly/ less/ ful/ ment…)的含義及用法，就可以根據已知詞猜出它的派生詞，從而達到擴大詞彙的目的。如：前綴super 有超過，超越的含義，就可以猜出supermarket （超級市場）supernatural (超自然的)、 superman （超人）、superstar （超級明星）等詞的含義。。

2． 聯想記憶法

由一個詞聯想到和它有關或無關的詞，如看到live vi 生活，聯想到其他詞性及用法，如，直播的、活的等詞義。

3． 廣泛閱讀記憶法

「To read well, you need a strong vocabulary.. To build a strong vocabulary, you need to read well.」 這句名言道出了閱讀和詞彙量的關系。要有流利的閱讀，就必須有豐富的詞彙。大量的閱讀可以豐富你的詞彙。

（二） 牢固掌握語法知識

近年來的NMET閱讀理解短文的句式結構趨向復雜，語法知識在閱讀中的作用已經突顯出來。如在閱讀中遇到另人費解的長句、難句，就可以藉助語法，對句子進行適當的分析，搞清各部分的關系，從而准確理解整句的意思。以Decision-thinking is not unlike poker-it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think.(NMET 2000) 為例。該句的29個詞中包含了主語從句，賓語從句、並列句和破折號連接的附加說明等多種關系。其中並列句中又有復合句，復合句中又有並列句。只有把句子的成分一一理清，才能掌握其意思。

（三）、積累一定的文化背景知識和生活知識

英語閱讀能力的提高不僅需要一定的語言知識，還要有一定的文化背景知識和生活知識。例如在NMET2003的閱讀理解A篇，該篇選材涉及地理，介紹了兩座farthest/ most distant inhabited islands，一個為Guinness Book of Records 所認定的Tristan da Cunha;另一為復活島（Easter Island）文章中出現了較多的專有名詞，對於閱讀經驗不足的同學會形成干擾，而對於那些對Easter Day 等背景知識了解的同學，相對就會好些。另外在C篇中，出現了書刊號，如果熟悉這些，就會減少好多閱讀困難。

（四）培養良好的閱讀習慣，掌握有效的閱讀技巧

要養成良好的閱讀習慣，就要求平時多朗讀，背誦精彩段落和文章，以培養語感。另外，有的同學在閱讀時出聲讀、點讀或回讀，這些不良習慣都會影響閱讀速度和對文章的理解。所以要克服這些不良習慣，作到不回讀，不聲讀，不點讀等。只有這樣，閱讀速度才能加快，理解的准確率才能提高。

除了良好的閱讀習慣外，也要掌握正確的閱讀技巧。教師要指導學生形成正確的思維方法。一般閱讀時應注意以下幾點：

1、略讀（Skimming）即迅速瀏覽全文，抓住文章大意和主題句，明確作者的態度和意圖。

2、跳讀（Skipping） 即快速查找某一相關信息，讀時要一目十行，對不相關的內容一帶而過。

3、猜測生詞(Guessing the new words) 在閱讀過程中，不可避免的會遇到生詞。如果一遇到生詞就去查字典，或跳過去不看，都會影響對文章的理解。這樣就要猜測生詞的意思。不同的語境，單詞的意思也就不一樣。所以要根據上下文線索和構詞法等知識去猜測。

「冰凍三尺，非一日之寒」 提高閱讀能力，不是一朝一夕就能做到的。只要堅持正確的閱讀方法，培養興趣，廣泛閱讀，積累詞彙，並且養成良好的閱讀習慣，閱讀理解能力一定會逐步提高。
