英文报纸的阅读技巧和方法

英文报纸的阅读技巧和方法阅读理解是当今英语教学中较为重要的一环，同时也是高考复习中的重中之重。

但是，有许多学生对如何提高自己的阅读能力却是茫然无措。

现今中学生的一个通病是阅读量太小，局限于对课本的精耕细作。

碰上涉及现代科技和现代生活的文章，不是内容看不懂，就是体裁没见过。

这种现象的结症在于尚未跳出课文阅读的圈子，尚未摆脱应试的阴影。

殊不知，课本只是为学习者提供了一个蓝本，要牢固熟练地掌握课文中出现的词汇、句型、语法，还要就同一话题增加几倍甚至几十倍的阅读量，力求在鲜活的语言材料中去巩固已学过的知识。

坚持大量阅读是改善上述情形的有效途径之一。

咱们不妨从阅读英文报纸NIE（Newspa per in English）做起，因为一份英文报纸几乎囊括了高考中所有类型的阅读材料，况且，每年高考中出现的新词汇都是在报刊中首先出现的。

所以，如果一个学生长期坚持阅读英文报纸，那么，在高考英语阅读中，他（她）一定能游刃有余了。

这就是所谓的博观而约取，厚积而薄发的道理。

下面，我就谈谈英文报纸的阅读技巧和方法。

英文报纸（Newspaper in English）的阅读是当前英语教学改革中的一大趋势。

实践证明，通过阅读英语报纸，学生能够有效的巩固和运用所学词汇，句法结构，提高阅读能力，培养语感，做到“学以致用”，运用报纸的新闻性和时尚性能激发学生的好奇心和兴趣。

而且，英语报纸包涵的内容是学生在其他中文媒体上了解过的，这就为他们阅读有关内容的英文报纸打下了基础，使他们能够比较容易地阅读英语报纸。

目前市面上可以买到或订到的英语报纸很多，如中国版的China Daily(中国日报),Shangha i Daily （上海日报），English Weekly（英语周刊）,21st Century（21世纪英语报）,21 st Century Teens Senior Edition（21世纪英语报学生版）等；还有外国版的报纸，如Th e Times(泰晤士报),New York Times(纽约时报),Washington Post(华盛顿邮报)等。

英语报刊阅读作业练习1

《英语报刊阅读》作业练习1Assignment 1Read the following passage and answer the questions：Tuition Reform for Higher EducationChinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year‟s figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non—compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State—financed students will begin paying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short—term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year,only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidies from their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficultiesGuidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self—paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China.--21st Century, Apr.20, 1992Reading ComprehensionAnalyze the ideas and relationships.

It was divided into the “have” nations, and the many more “have-not” nations. Put another way, there was the “First World” and the “Third World”. Everyone knew which countries fit into the former category. They were the wealthy powers, which had big steel plants, shipyards and lots of automobiles. When Mao Zedong tried to propel China into the front ranks in the late 1950s, he naturally stressed steel plants, even backyard ones.In recent decades, many Asian countries have joined the “haves”. Certainly, by most standards, places like Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore are rich. But just as it seems that they might relax and say they have it made, they are suddenly faced with a new challenge: the economic rules have changed. The emerging divide is no longer between the traditional haves and have-nots, but between those nations that are wired and those that are not. Of course, the developed countries already have the edge: Singapore, with a population of 4 million, has more than 500,000 computers, while Vietnam with 80 million people, possesses only 6,000 machines.As the competition intensifies to excel in information technology, the division will likely widen. And as more individual Asians catch up with, or even surpass, Western counterparts in terms of IT skills---such as e-commerce, computer development and Internet use, many more will be left behind. This is the test that the region‟s governments, think-tanks and private businesses must grapple with. Microsoft mogul Bill Gates may dream of everyone being able to log onto the Internet (using his software), but for most Asians, that aspiration will remain a reverie for a long time.“The pursuit of wealth is now largely the pursuit of information and its application to production,” former Citibank chairman Walter Wriston once observed. “The rules, customs, skills and talents necessary to uncover, capture, produce, preserve and exploit information are now humankind‟s most important assets.”That neatly encapsulates the world‟s new divide: between those who make, or at least can make use of, technology and information, and those without such capabilities. It is another way of saying that to become a player in the global economy, participation in IT is essential.The new divide is not just between nations, but also among regions within countries. In Thailand, bright children in Bangkok private schools are moving beyond word-processing and sending e-mail. But upcountry, it can be a struggle just getting a computer into a classroom and then it is shared by many pupils. Often, the teachers are as ignorant of new IT developments as their charges. Some parts of India are hotbeds of software development and application, yet huge swathes of the country together with Pakistan, Bangladesh and many other areas of Asia are electronic deserts.In important ways, corporations are already being measured according to whether they are connected or not. Witness the dizzying stock valuations of the former type, while even blue chipsamong the latter lag notably behind. Indeed, in Asia as elsewhere, zooming “dot-com” shares have been sucking up valuable capital resources, just as rich countries were traditionally accused of draining the same from poorer ones. Yet many mainline companies-manufacturers, retailers and property developers are becoming part of the wired world. The key is learning how to use technology profitably, and not necessarily how to produce it.Fortunately, closing the “IT divide” should prove a less formidable task than narrowing the old rich-poor gap. The world, after all, is not dealing in this case with finite resources. A big part of the solution would be simply to get more computers and other IT appliances into the hands of users, and to make them even easier to use. The machines are much less expensive than, say, rockets and tanks, which governments seem fully able to fund. Asia‟s goal, as South Korean President Kim Dae Jung has stated for his country, should be to get a computer and Internet connection into every classroom.But it is not enough just to supply the hardware. More attention must be paid to the education of users, particularly children. Computers literacy may be a given in the most advanced parts of Asia, but in Kathmandu, for example, government-run schools have to make do with a mere 100 machines among them. And it Nepal, as in some other Asian nations, more than half of the children never even get to see the inside of a classroom, let alone log on.Nor can the more wired communities become complacent. Most Singapore and Hong Kong schoolchildren may know how to browse the Web and use a word-processor. But as the technology revolution accelerates, even the advanced countries need to upgrade their IT skills continually. Hong Kong, among others, is attempting to transform itself into a center of high technology, in the process broadening its economic base beyond traditional businesses. Yet even with the return of prosperity, say local authorities, unemployment will stay significantly above 1990s levels simply because not enough people have the technology-related skills demanded by the newly created jobs. That is a revealing measure of the challenge Asia faces.1.In the news story, “haves” refer to _______________ nations, and “have-nots” refer to____________ nations.2.The traditional “have” nations were those that had _____________ , _________________and__________________.3.The new challenge facing Asia‟s “have” nations is__________________________________.4.The emerging divide is between those nations that are wired and those that are not. In thesentence, “be wired” means ______________________________________.5.The intensified competition in __________________ will probably widen the division.6.To become a player in the world economy, participation in __________ is_______________.7.What is the new divide between nations and among regions within countries?8. What is the most important thing for mainline corporations in the wired world to do?9. What is the solution to the problem of “IT divides”, according to the writer?10.According to the writer, closing the “IT divide” should be ea sier than narrowing the oldrich-poor gap. Why is it so?11.Why unemployment will become a problem in Hong Kong when it is trying to become acenter of high technology?Assignment 3I. Translate the following into Chinese: (20%)WASHINGTON, Sept. 23---The House of Representatives, which prides itself on being “the people‟s house”, has been turning into a rich man‟s club.The representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based on the members‟ financial reports.Behind this remarkable swing, the study says, are two main factors: a court decision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns, and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mount successful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns, but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.II. Reconstruct the messages of the following headlines of news stories: Example: Italian Ex-Mayor Murdered---An Italian Ex-Mayor Is Murdered1.Qian to sign test-ban treaty at UN assembly2.More areas open to overseas investors3.Israeli PM on European tour4.Big power project due to launch in Guangxi5. Alaskan Oil for Japan?Assignment 4Endangered Trade(The Asian Wall Street Journal, Mar., 1999)Such is the special relationship between America and its NATO partners that while that alliance cooperates to bomb Serbian forces, the U.S. and the EU are managing a trade war against each other. Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreads unchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.It‟s hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expanding their trade war. The first fight, over bananas, is essentially a struggle between two fruit distributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalating their battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to phony science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to push major free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing …level even if playing fields,‟torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with the U.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs if the European Union doesn‟t drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe‟s banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs. Add to this, renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese and Brazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concorde flights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planes retrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address, where he vowed to fight for …a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.‟ In the case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter the fray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of American meat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don‟t like hormones in their food, would rebel against their governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, the argument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinks and for all the jobs …saved‟by protections, there are a lot more lost. The Smoot-Hawley agricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight. But we‟ve never thought much of the kind of war where you pose even when you win.Judge whether the following statement are True or False:1. ( ) The Trade war between the U.S. and the EU has cost no lives but is equally dangerous.2. ( ) It‟s very easy to decide who is to blame for expanding the trade war.3. ( ) The very beginning of the trade war suggests that it bears political significance.4. ( ) The author agrees that hormone-treated beef is harmful to one‟s health.5. ( ) President Bill Clinton used to be a believer of free trade, but not now.6. ( ) Level playing fields ca do good to the world economy.7. ( ) Besides its trade war with the EU, the U.S. is also in conflict with Japan, Russia andBrazil.8 .( ) The author thinks that in the case of beef, the American farmers are justified.9. ( ) The author thinks that it is a right decision for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.10. ( ) The two sides have submitted the case of beef to the WTO for settlement.。

英语报刊阅读技巧

一、简短小词(名词&动词)英语新闻标题总是力求用有限的字数来表达新闻的内容，为此，在措词上尤其要狠下功夫，选词尽可能经简达意、简短明了，偏爱选用那些短小精悍或字母最少的动词。

因为短小易懂、形象生动的措词不仅能增强新闻的简洁性和可读性，而且还能节省版面篇幅。

如表示“破坏”或“损坏”一词意义的动词，标题一般不用damage，而用一些较之简短的词，如hit、harm、hurt、ruin或wreck等。

又如表示“放弃”这一概念的动词，标题一般不用abandon，而用drop、give up、quit、skip或yield等，表示“爆炸”之类的动词意义时，一般不用explode，而用blast、crash、ram或smash等词。

简单英语阅读短文篇1：Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at oncesent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but received no reply. He sent yet another telegram informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well.

Leading from the Top自上而下领先Catherine Bauer looks at career development in children's book publishing凯瑟琳·鲍尔（Catherine Bauer）探讨童书出版的职业发展To get on in the world of children's book publishing one needs to be 'bright, nice and not ambitious'. Those are the words of a 37-year-old manager thinking about leaving the industry. Managers in other industries would, by that age, be striving towards greater leadership challenges and rewards, while Human Resources departments would be doing all they could to prevent hungry competitors from getting hold of experienced and talented employees. Maintaining successful corporations and happy shareholders is, after all, dependent on using the talents and experience of one's staff, not on being nice.要在童书出版领域崭露头角，需要“聪明、善良、没有野心”。

这是一位37岁的经理考虑离开这个行业的话。

到了那个年龄，其他行业的管理者将努力获得更大的领导力挑战和回报，而人力资源部门将尽其所能防止饥渴的竞争对手抓住经验丰富、才华横溢的员工。

英美报刊文章阅读精选本第五版课文翻译

Lesson4 Is an Ivy League Diploma Worth It？花钱读常春藤名校值不值？1.如果愿意的话，施瓦茨（Daniel Schwartz）本来是可以去一所常春藤联盟（Ivy League）院校读书的。

他只是认为不值。

2.18 岁的施瓦茨被康奈尔大学（Cornell University）录取了，但他最终却去了纽约市立大学麦考利荣誉学院（City University of New York’s Macaulay Honors College），后者是免费的。

3.施瓦茨说，加上奖学金和贷款的支持，家里原本是可以付得起康奈尔的学费的。

但他想当医生，他觉得医学院是更有价值的一项投资。

私立学校医学院一年的花费动辄就要 4 万 5 美元。

他说，不值得为了一个本科文凭一年花 5 万多美元。

4.助学贷款违约率日益攀升，大量的大学毕业生找不到工作，因此越来越多的学生认定，从一所学费不太贵的学校拿到的学位和从一所精英学校拿到的文凭没什么区别，并且不必背负贷款负担。

5.Robert Pizzo 越来越多的学生选择收费较低的公立大学，或选择住在家里走读以节省住房开支。

美国学生贷款行销协会（Sallie Mae）的一份报告显示，2010 年至 2011 学年，家庭年收入 10 万美元以上的学生中有近 25%选择就读两年制的公立学校，高于上一学年12%的比例。

6.这份报告称，这样的选择意味着，在 2010 至 2011 学年，各个收入阶层的家庭在大学教育上的花费比上一年少 9%，平均支出为 21,889 美元，包括现金、贷款、奖学金等。

高收入家庭的大学教育支出降低了 18%，平均为 25,760 美元。

这份一年一度的报告是在对约1,600 名学生和家长进行问卷调查后完成的。

7.这种做法是有风险的。

顶级大学往往能吸引到那些已经不再去其他学校招聘的公司前来招聘。

在许多招聘者以及研究生院看来，精英学校的文凭还是更有吸引力的。

高中英语阅读报纸

高中英语阅读报纸篇一：英语报刊阅读练习(四)初二英语报刊阅读四（1）Question : What is more astonishing than a 6000 ton whale on a flatbed truck being driven down the street ?Answer : A 6000 ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and raining blubber (fat of whales ) all over the sidewalk .That’s what happened in Taiwan recently, when a dead sperm whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy (尸体解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up before it reached its destination .The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend, and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan’s shores , scientists wanted to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose .Obviously, too much time passed between when the animal died and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location, because it had already started to go bad .When things rot , they give off gases as a by-product . In the whale’s case , the gases were trapped in its belly . The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it popped like an over-filled balloon . Unfortunately , it was on a truck in the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time; cars and shops lining the street were covered with whale bits and juices , much to their owners’ discouragement . According to news reports , traffic was tied up for hours while officials tried to clean up the streets .Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to themselves , since they had a ready-made headline; seve ral reports about the incident were titled “There She Blows!” after the famous line from the book Moby Dick .1．The purpose of the question at the beginning ofthis news report is to ______.A．explain the reasonB．sell newspapersC．attract readers D．give an immediate answer2．The whale’s explosion is the result of _________.A．pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to rotB．the long transport of the creature from the beach to the centerC．the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed byD．the quick process of rotting of the animal3．What is the correct order of the incidents ?a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck .b. The whale was discovered .c. The whale exploded .d. The whale died .A．b; c; a ; d B．d; c; b; aC．b; d; a; cD．d; b; a; c4．What do we know from the last paragraph ?A．Some newspaper editors were laughed at .B．Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer .C．All the newspapers reported the story under the same title .D．The title “There She Blows!” is taken from the book Moby Dick .（2）The three biggest lies in America are : (1) “The check is in the mail.” (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning .” (3) “It was a puter error.”Of these three little white lies , the worst of thelot by far is the third . It’s the on ly one that can never be true . Today , if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way , you know what the clerk is sure to say : “It was a puter error .” Nonsense .The puter is reporting nothing more than what theclerk typed into it .The most annoying case of all is when the puterized cash register in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does . If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker , bagger and manager all e together and offer the familiar explanatio n : “It was a puter error .”It wasn’t, of course . That high-tech cash register is really nothing more than an electric eye . The eye reads the Universal Product Code; that ribbon of black and white lines on the package; and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory . If the price list is right , you’ll be charged accurately .Grocery stores update the price list each day; thatis , somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices . If the price they type in is too high , there are only two explanations : carelessness ordishonesty . But somehow “a puter error” is supposed to excuse everything .One reason we let people hide behind a puter is the mon misunderstanding that huge , modern puters are “electric brains” with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence , but none exists today . The smartest puter on earth right now is no more “intelligent” than your average screwdriver (螺丝刀). At this point in the development of puters the only thing anymachine can do is what a human has instructed it todo .1．We are told that a high-tech cash register isreally just ______.A．a simple adding machine B．an electric instrument of sightC．a way to keep employees honestD．an expensive piece of window dressing2．Grocery store price lists are updated by________ .A．an employee B．a telephone receiver C．an adding machine D．a typewriter3．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true ?A．That high-tech cash register is anything but an electric eye .B．The grocery stores update the price list every other day .C．There is no machine with intelligence today.D．There are four biggest lies in America .4．Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage ?A．Computers are stupid and inefficient .B．Computer errors are basically human errors .C．Computers can help department stores update the price list .D．Supermarket price errors are often made through dishonesty .（3）Robots frequently star in science fiction movies and books.

But many more people can’t wait to e____7___ the fascinating world that robots can bring us in the future.（4）I'm Susan Clark with the Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.Young Mister Smith had an idea for his employer. It was an idea for saving money for the pany by increasing prices. At the same time, Smith suggested that the pany sell goods ofless value.If his employer liked the idea, Smith might be given more pay. Perhaps he might even get a betterjob with the pany.Business had been very slow. So Mister Smith's employer thought a few minutes about the idea. But then she shook her head. "I am sorry, Smith," his employer said. "It just will not wash." Now, the meaning of these English words should be, "It will not get clean." Yet Smith's idea did not have anything to do with making something clean. So why did his employer say, "It will notwash?"Most word experts agree that "it will not wash" means it will not work. Eric Partridge wrote that the saying probably developed in Britain in the eighteen hundreds. Charlotte Bronte used it in a story published in eighteen forty-nine. She wrote, "That wiln't wash, miss." Mizz Bronte seems to have meant that the dyes used to color a piece of clothing were not good. The colors could notbe depended on to stay in the material.In nineteenth century England, the expression came to mean an undependable statement. It wasused mainly to describe an idea. But sometimes it was used about a person.A critic once said of the poet Robert Browning, "He won't wash." The critic did not mean that the poet was not a clean person. He meant that Browning's poems could not be depended on tolast.Today, we know that judgment was wrong. Robert Browning still is considered a major poet. Butvery few people remember the man who said Browning would not wash.Happily for the young employee Smith, his employer wanted him to do well in the pany. So the employer"talked turkey" to him. She said, "Your idea would be unfair to our buyers. Thinkof another way to save money."A century ago, to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly. Turkeys in the barnyard were thought to be speaking pleasantly to one another. In recent years, the saying has e to mean an attempt toteach something important.Word expert Charles Funk tells how he believes this change took place.He says two men were shooting turkeys together. One of them was a white man. The other was an American Indian. The white man began stating reasons why he should get all the turkeys for himself. But the American Indian stopped him. He told the white man, "Now, I talkturkey toyou."Mister Smith thought of a better idea after his employer talked turkey to him. He was given anincrease in pay. So if your idea "will not wash," try "talking turkey" to yourself and e upwith a better idea.（5）High school students in Asia often do better than American students on international math and sciencetests. Experts say part of this is because schools in countries like China and South Korea do better at preparing students to take tests. Yet some of these same countries want to learn what makes American students good at creativity and critical thinking.Foreign educators often visit Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, near Washington. This past summer, seventy-five school principals visited from China.Evan Glazer, the principal of Thomas Jefferson, says the school bines science and math with literature and other liberal arts.EVAN GLAZER: “Curriculum, when it’s seen within one particular context, you’re really just developing knowledge and skills. But if you want to look at the plexity of real problems and original solutions, it requires people to e at them from different angles. And so we foster a lot of team teaching, with pairing up teachers from different disciplines so that, when they’re offering challenges to students, that they have a variety of perspectives as they approach problems.”The admissions process is intensely petitive. Thomas Jefferson is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools but serves a wider area. The number of students from families of Asian ethnicity at the school reachedfifty percent this past year.The program was created in partnership with local businesses in nineteen eighty-five. The goal was to improve education in science, math and technology.Some students do university-level research in fields such as microelectronics, neuroscience and biotechnology. Students can also learn from working with professionals, says Mr. Glazer.EVAN GLAZER: “We certainly cultivate a culture of inquiry and research so that students can do original work. That’s part of our mindset. But I thin k, as Americans, I think we pride ourselves in our ability to constantly generate new ideas for the benefit of humanity.”In East Asia, the focus of high school is often to prepare students for college entrance exams. But Mr. Glazer says in recent years China has been developing experimental schools. These offer more student-centered learning the way many top American schools do.EVAN GLAZER: “And I think that’s part of the American mindset that we’ve had pride in as a country for so many years -- of the idea that everyone can bring original ideas. And I think East Asia senses that, and they certainly see the benefit to our innovation as a country.”He points out that as East Asian countries consider greater freedom for their schools, American education is headed in the opposite direction. Most states have recently approved mon standards in math and reading.EVAN GLAZER: “In China and in Korea there is a strong interest in trying to get students to be more creative. And in America there is a strong interest in standardization. And, you know, the reality is wedon’t operate in one world or the other. It’s trying to find that right balance."篇二：高一英语报刊阅读每日5分钟 25高一英语报刊阅读每日5分钟 25Canada's own Chinatown在温哥华感受扑面而来的中国气息。

Read the following article and then answer the questions below.About Flu ShotsIt sounded like a good idea when New York City 's mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, advised New Yorkers recently to get a flu shot. After all, 20,000 Americans each year die of influenza. And this year in particular, the mayor suggested, getting a flu shot might be an especially good idea, since it could help doctors distinguish between flu and the deadly inhalational form of anthrax. How? Both anthrax and flu exhibit strikingly similar symptoms —fever, chills and muscle aches —in the early days of the infection. Physicianswouldbe quick to suspect anthrax in anyone who wasvaccinated against flu and still developed fever and chills. That would give them a better chance to identify any new victims of terror while their infection was still inits earliest, most treatable stages.Or so the mayor 's reasoning went. Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems with his logic. For one thing, getting vaccinated against influenza doesn't guarantee you won 't get sick. Although highly effective, the flu vaccine protects against only the dominant strains and even then does not provide 100% protection. It takes a couple of weeks for your body to respond to the vaccine with a sufficient number of antibodies. Each year thousands of Americans who get the vaccine nevertheless still get the flu.There are also plenty of reasons you might develop fever, chills and muscle aches that have nothing to do with wither anthrax or flu. Indeed, doctors estimate that more than 80% of all flulike ailments each winter arecaused by other groups of viruses, like the parainfluenza and picornavirus families. Getting vaccinated against flu can 't protect you against suffering from these other respiratory ailments.In the worse case, asking all healthy adults to get vaccinated could actually backfire, leading to even more deaths if it means we run out of shots for those who are most vulnerable to the infection. Already there have been delays in getting thisyear's shipment of vaccine to clinics and doc tors ' offices. Those who should be at the front of the line include folks who are 65 or older, nursing-home residents and adults and children with chronic health problems, including asthma, kidney disease, heart disease and diabetes, as well as anyone who cares for or lives with such people. Flu shots are also important for men and women whose immune system is weakened by HIV or other conditions.The best reason to get the flu vaccine is that it protects against most flus —notthat you' re worried about contracting anthrax. While inhalational anthrax has killed only five people so far, many more could be at risk from flu-related complications. There 's no need to compound the tragedy by making this year 's influenza epidemic any worse.Comprehension1.Paragraph 1 mainly illustratesA.the necessity of persuading New Yorkersto get a flu shotB.the reason why the mayor especiallyadvised his citizens to get a flu shotthis yearC.the fact that flu and anthrax have manysimilar symptomsD.the advantage of getting a flu shot2.What is the main idea of paragraph 2 and 3?A.Getting a flu shot cannot ensure that vaccinated people won 't get flu orflulike ailments.

The symptoms of many other respiratorydiseases are similar to those of anthrax.3.Paragraph 4 mainly illustratesA. another unreasonable aspect of themajor 's opinionB.the risk of being short of flu shotsC.the unexpected result brought about by the mayor 's appealD.the necessity for people with poorhealth to get flu shots4.What is the main idea of paragraph 5?A. It's wrong for the mayor to advise hiscitizens to get flu shots.B.Getting a flu shot would give rise tomany problems.C.People should not get flu shots, for it can 't provide better protection against anthrax.D.A sking all healthy adults to get fluvaccine could make things go contrary to what the mayor expected.5.W hich of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage?A.

英语高考报刊阅读技巧

英语高考报刊阅读技巧随着英语的课程越来越重要，高考中英语的考察也变得越来越重要。

其中，报刊阅读部分是考查学生综合能力和阅读技巧的重要环节。

本文将为大家介绍几种英语高考报刊阅读技巧，帮助大家在考试中取得好成绩。

一、把握整体结构在解答报刊阅读题时，首先要把握整篇文章的结构。

一般来说，报刊文章分为引子、主体和结尾三个部分。

引子一般是对文章主题的背景介绍，主体部分包含了详细的信息和论述，结尾则总结全文或给出对主题的展望。

通过了解文章结构，可以更好地理解文章内容，从而提高答题准确性。

二、关注段首句和段尾句在阅读理解的过程中，需要特别关注每个段落的开头和结尾句。

通常情况下，段首句会概括出该段落的主旨；而段尾句往往会总结或提供进一步的信息。

抓住这两个句子，可以帮助我们迅速了解每个段落的主要内容，更好地回答问题。

三、注意关键词关键词在报刊阅读中很重要。

它们可以帮助我们定位信息，准确回答问题。

关键词可以是人名、地名、时间、数字等。

在阅读文章时，要留心并将其标记出来。

一旦问题与关键词相关，可以迅速定位到相关句子，提高答题效率。

四、理解文章作者的立场在报刊阅读中，理解作者的立场非常重要。

文章作者可能有着自己的观点和态度，我们需要理解并分析这些观点和态度。

这样可以帮助我们更好地理解文章的中心思想，并回答与作者态度相关的问题。

五、切勿死记硬背在备考英语高考时，有些学生倾向于死记硬背一些词汇和句子，以应对报刊阅读题。

然而，这种做法并不明智。

英语高考更注重学生综合能力的发展，而不是简单的记忆能力。

要想在报刊阅读中取得好成绩，需要有广泛的阅读经验和分析能力。

因此，我们应该注重培养自己的阅读习惯，多读一些英语报刊杂志，积累阅读经验，提高自己的阅读理解能力。

结语英语高考报刊阅读部分的技巧需要通过大量的练习和积累才能掌握。
