九年级初中英语阅读范文第一课Learn From Taylor Swiff s SpeechTaylor Swift, a famous US pop singer, received an honorary doctorate from New York University in May. She also made a 20- minute speech at the commencement.Taylor talked about her life in the speech. She didn, t have a normal school life. At an early age, she showed an interest in music. When Taylor was in tenth grade, she left her high school and started to go for her dream of being a successful musician. While her classmates went on to spend their time in college, Taylor was busy writing songs and performing on the stage. Through the years, she has won many top prizes in the field of music.Although Taylor dicin' t have a four-year college experience, she shared her "life hacks" with the graduates on their future life. She hoped the “life hacks“ could be helpful to the graduates.u We should learn to catch and release. Life can be heavy. But the good things in life are always lighter. So we should make more room for them," Taylor said. "And don5 t be afraid of making mistakes and losing things. They can also lead to the best things in life. A lot of the time, when we lose things, we gain things, too."Finally, Taylor told the graduates, “Hard things will happen to every one of us. We will recover. We will learn from them. And wewill grow stronger because of them」Taylor has been through many hard times. But we can see that she has recovered with the help of her “life hacks” . And now she hopes she can share them and help more students achieve their dreams.Be a Polite PersonEveryone likes polite people and being polite is very important.

That’s the house with the golden windows.” She pointed at something far away.When the boy looked, he saw his own house. He saw a sight to amaze him... There across the way on his side of the valley was a little house and its windows glistened golden ... as the sun shone on his little home.

It looks as if a hurricane passed through Vicky’s bedroom,”said Vicky’s mother. “I must ask her to clean it.”Vicky was eating breakfast. Her father came into the kitchen and said,“Mom wants you to clean your room. It looks as if a hurricane passed through it.”Joe, Vicky’s little brother, asked,“A hurricane? Is that a bad thing?”“Sure it is,”said his father.“I’ll do it after school, Dad,” said Vicky. “My first class is geography and Mr. Miller hates people to be late.”And off she ran through the front door.Twenty minutes later, Vicky ran into her classroom.“Today,” said Mr. Miller, “we’re going to learn about hurricanes. Have any of you seen a hurricane?” Vicky thought about her bedroom, but she said nothing.“I haven’t seen one. Not a real one but I watched a program on TV and I know they destroy things and leave a mess,”said James who sat next to Vicky.“Yes,”said Mr. Miller. “But today I’m going to surprise you. Sometimes hurricanes do good.”“Hurricanes can be good things?”Vicky asked.“Oh, yes,”said Mr. Miller.“Hurricanes bring a lot of water to rivers and lakes that are becoming dry. Animals and fish come back to live in them. Hurricanes also pick up heat from the very hot areas of the world and drop it in less warm places.”“So, hurricanes can be good things,”Vicky said to herself.“I’m going to show Mom the good part.”When Vicky got home in the afternoon, she began to clean up her bedroom. She put all of her things in their proper places.“Mom,”she called.“Can you come here for a minute?”Vicky’s mother put her head around the door.“Vicky!”she said. “That looks fantastic!

请结合你的亲身经历,谈谈你的感触。
(注意:短文中不得出现考生的姓名、校名及其他相关信息,否则不予评分。
)审题分析:1.本文是一个半命题作文,需要补充原文,但可以发挥的空间较窄,题干对内容做了明确的限制。
2.从题目中的要求给出的提示,say sorry to sb,我们需要从两方面来写:(1)为什么saysorry (2)有什么感触,或者可以补充打算怎么say sorry3.因为字数有限,所以我们要紧扣这两点来写,需要把原委讲清楚,但不要过度强调细节避免超过字数或者另一点被忽略。
案例分析:此文章中,学生较完整的描述了事情的经过,以及文章要表达的大部分内容,但是对于整个文章的结构编排是欠妥当的,没有一个整体的引入并且没有运用一些结构连词连接层次,只是用来时间词,看起来像流水账。

范文点评:I want to say sorry to my friend - JackDuring our life, it is unavoidable that we sometimes do harm to others but never have the courage to express our apologies. In my case, I want to say sorry to my friend, Jack. Once I borrowed a stamp album from Jack and lost it carelessly. Knowing how Jack cherished that album, I lied to him that I had put it on his school desk. Not surprisingly, Jack burst into tears when he found nothing on the desk. I have been so guilty that I decide to buy another album to say sorry to him.作文提纲语言进阶:1.主语从句主语从句,即在复合句中充当主语成分的句子,例如"That he finished writing the composition in such a short time surprised us all",他在很短的时间内写完作文让我们都很惊讶,此复合句主要描述的是某事让我们惊讶,某事就是该复合句的主语,因此“That he finished writing the composition in such a short time”便是该复合句的主语从句。

阅读理解一叙述文ANine-year-old Antonio “Dan Boy” Fernandez Jr was playing with his younger brothers Ken and Billie in their yard after lunch one day last June when he noticed smoke coming from the roof of their house. Realizing his three-year-old brother, Nathaniel, was sleeping in the house, Antonio protected his head with his hands and rushed inside the wooden house.“I was so afraid to see the flames on the roof, but when I heard my brother crying, I just closed my eyes and rushed in,” says Dan Boy, w ho stopped schooling two years ago to look after his younger brothers.He found his brother sitting in the corner of the room, shaking and crying. Nathaniel was disoriented (迷惑的) from the smoke, so Dan Boy caught him with his right hand. “Don’t worry, kuya(big brother) is here,” Dan Boy said as he protected Nathaniel from the flames with his own body.Just as they reached the front door, Nathaniel stopped. A nail had caught his shorts. Flames reached the upper part of the door as Antonio tried to get his brother free. With one last, hard pulling, they ran into the yard as the house was finished.For what he had done, Antonio received a special prize from the government and a university in the city offered to help him go back to school. “I would have done the same if Nathaniel were not my brother,” says Dan Boy.V ocabularynotice v.注意realize v.意识protect v.保护flame n.火焰rush v.冲schooling n.学校教育nail n.钉子upper adj.上面的receive v.收到special adj. 特别的government n.政府offer v.提供B 1.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But asa young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.V ocabularydecide v.决定illness n.疾病in action 在行动上heart-to-heart adj.率真的,交心的emotional adj.易动感情的surface n.表面forgive v.原谅disappointment n.失望present n.礼物pleased adj.感到高兴的refold v.再折起C1.
