周计划：小学英语阅读强化训练(三年级)(第二版)(赠MP3下载 二维码听读)试读：
前言
看着市场上浩如烟海、质量参差不齐的小学英语教辅图书，有一个想法在我们心中由来已久，那就是编写一套真正内容扎实、效果明显、让同学和家长们的每一分钱都不虚掷的小学英语阅读理解丛书。经过精心选编和翻译，经过无数次推敲和取舍，现在，这套丛书终于完稿了，以下是它们的六个主要特点，希望对您有所帮助。
一、内容经典，所有篇目均选自历年重点初中招生试题、小学英语竞赛试题及引进版阅读材料。我们尤其注重英文的地道和原汁原味，剔除了某些由中国人撰写的、带有明显中文思维痕迹的文章。
二、难度分级，生词注释。丛书从一、二年级到六年级难度逐步加升，让阅读者的英语水平在不知不觉中提高。生词注释和例句突出重点，便于完全掌握关键词汇。
三、全文翻译，彻底解决读不懂、读不透、练习做了很多可水平提升缓慢的问题。我们尽力提供最为准确、流畅的译文，力求使同学们读一篇就彻底消化一篇。
四、采用一二年级五篇阅读理解、三至六年级四篇阅读理解加一篇完形填空的周计划模式，与初中英语题型相吻合。本书共16周，一周之内每天读一篇，题量不大便于坚持，以达到循序渐进的目的。
五、附赠纯正外教发音MP3下载，且每篇阅读文章配有二维码。同学们可在阅读前或阅读后反复听音频，熟悉外教发音，培养自己的英文耳朵。
六、可进行看图说话练习。看图作文是小升初热点题型，本书不少文章配有精彩场景图，您可根据图画及英文提示，先用一两句简短的英文描述图画，再阅读文章，检测自己的表达是否正确地道。编者Term 1上学期第1周WEEK ONEMondayTrack 01阅读下面的短文，选择正确答案。
