高中英语课外读物美文欣赏40篇(双语版)1《飞鸟集》精选1夏天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了。

Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.2 秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱,只叹息一声,飞落在那里。

And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign.3世界对着它的爱人,把它浩翰的面具揭下了。

它变小了,小如一首歌,小如一回永恒的接吻The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.4是大地的泪点,使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。

It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.5无垠的沙漠热烈追求一叶绿草的爱,她摇摇头笑着飞开了。

The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.6如果你因失去了太阳而流泪,那么你也将失去群星了。

If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.7跳舞着的流水呀,在你途中的泥沙,要求你的歌声,你的流动呢。

你肯挟瘸足的泥沙而俱下么?The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness?8她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,搅扰着我的梦魂。

Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Indus river in India. 2When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilisation. This civilisation later on developed into the cultures of ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 3 Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.4 Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference count as well. but what’s more, due tothe far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.The differences are everywhere. 5 But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilisation of human beings. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.D. At the same time. some other differences add to the cultural differences.E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the wholeF. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.G.

高中英语阅读强化训练(一)Ⅰ阅读理解Mother Nat ure knows best. But she’s not always generous with her secrets. Sometimes she only tells them to the most careful observers.George de Mestral was a Swiss engineer who enjoyed walking with his dog in the woods. One day, after a walk, he looked down and saw some seeds(种子) stuck to his trousers. He was a little bit angry because the seeds were hard to remove. He pulled a few of the seeds off of his trousers and examined them under a microscope(显微镜). What he saw amazed him: tiny hooks(钩子) on the ends of the seeds. George de Mestral saw a new way to stick things together and keep them attached.He was inspired to turn his accidental discovery into a useful product. He borrowed money from a bank, gave up his job, and gave all of his time and energy to the__task. At first, people refused to take him, and the idea, seriously. He took his idea to a weaving center, where he did manage to get the help of one weaver, who made two products out of cotton that worked. However, the cotton wore out quickly. Finally, by using nylon instead of cotton, he made his invention work. It took ten years to develop it. He called it Velcro.Today, Velcro is used everywhere: in shoes, purses, and children’s toys. We can thank de Mestral for discovering and developing a wonderful way to attach things. But the real thanks should go to nature for making the secret known.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?The te achers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.1.What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?A.Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.B.Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.C.Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.D.Newspapers often cheat people.2.Why did students set chickens free?A.They wanted to let chickens free. B.They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.C.They wanted to see feathers flying. D.They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3.How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.【答案】1.A2.D3.B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm (演算法). Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity (圈养). As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.56. How does the writer begin this article about WildTrack?A. By discussing the software that it employsB.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Every year,the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre in San Francisco fills up with dance lovers. They come to take in experimental works of art that all have one thing in common—hip hop. This weekend the San Francisco International Hip Hop Dance-Fest celebrates 20 years of presenting electrifying hip hop performances.Each Dance-Fest has diversity (多样化)of style and group size, and a balance of local and out-of-town companies. From Vietnam to Brazil to Uganda to the Czech Republic, the festival has drawn impressive international talent.After a long process, only the most exceptional companies are flown in for Dance-Fest. In fact, outstanding technical dance skills are only a basic standard that the festival organizers are looking for. They look for much more—groups or artists that think outside the box. Artists that use hip hop in a theatrical way or to address social issues are sure to stand out. For instance, the 2010 performance "Tables and Chairs” served to underline the negative effects of alcoholism on society.It would be terribly irresponsible not to mention the founder, Micaya,in any introduction to Dance-Fest. A popular hip hop dance instructor, Micaya began producing high energy dance shows in the heart of San Francisco in 1993. Students of all ages and backgrounds love her classes so much that a San Francisco newspaper once described her as “Best Dance Instructor”.However. Micaya was concerned about the then dubious reputation of hip hop. She made it her goal to get hip hop the same recognition and respect as other dance forms. In 1999 she started Dance-Fest. It was the first festival of its kind to honor the creativity of hip hop dance in a non-competitive atmosphere. To Micaya, competitive Riles leave little room for the magic that comes from true expression. One review said, Micaya's festival challenges us “to reconsider just how diverse and embracing hip hop can now be.” Indeed, Micaya brings out the best in dancers, and has given San Francisco one of its finest festivals.56. What is the passage mainly about?A. The creativity of hip hop.B. The characteristics and the history of Dance-Fest.C. The best instructor of hip hop.D. The unique Riles and the challenge of Dance-Fest.57. Hip hop dancers are more likely to be chosen for Dance-fest if they can not only dance skillfully but alsoA. dance on the outside of the boxB. give up drinking alcohol before dancingC. handle social problems with their danceD. show their technical dance skills in theaters58. By “dubious reputation” in the last paragraph,the author means hip hop back then.A. was forbidden in publicB. was considered something badC. received too much attentionD. lacked creativity and competition59. What can be concluded about Dance-Fest?A. It is a competition for hip hop dancers.B. It is a dance festival for various dance forms.C. It is successful in popularizing hip hop.D. It is better respected than other dance festivals.崇明区高考一模答案56. B 57. C 58. B 59. C2020届奉贤区高考英语一模Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There was something in the elderly woman's behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her gestures. She was as good as anyone else, her movements suggested. And she had a job to do.The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience,rolling her eyes,huffing and sighing, checking her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a belt, her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, T walked over and asked if T could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled () on a crumpled piece of paper. The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality.Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, T think T wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who'd passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)People worry that developments in Artificial Intelligence, or A.I., will bring about a point in history when A.I. overtakes human intelligence, leading to an unimaginable revolution in human affairs. Or they wonder whether instead of our controlling artificial intelligence, it will control us.The situation may not arise for hundreds of years to come, but this doesn’t mean we have nothing to worry about. On the contrary, The A.I. products that now exist are improving faster than most people realize and promise to fundamentally transform our world, not always for the better. They are only tools, not a competing form of intelligence. But they will reshape what work means and how wealth is created.Unlike the Industrial Revolution and the Computer Revolution, the A.I. revolution is not taking certain jobs and replacing them with other jobs. Instead, it is believed to cause a wide-scale elimination of jobs — mostly lower-paying jobs, but some higher-paying ones, too.This transformation will result in enormous profits for the companies that develop A.I., as well as for the companies that adopt it. We are thus facing two developments that do not sit easily together: enormous wealth concentrated in relatively few hands and enormous numbers of people out of work. What is to be done?Part of the answer will involve educating or retraining people in tasks A.I. tools aren’t good at. Artificial intelligence is poorly suited for jobs involving creativity, planning and “cross-field” thinking. But these skills are typically required by high-paying jobs that may be hard to retrain displaced workers to do. More promising are lower-paying jobs involving the “people skills” that A.I. lacks: social workers, barmen, doormen — professions requiring human interaction. But how many barmen does a society really need?The solution to the problem of mass unemployment will involve “service jobs of love.” These are jobs that A.I. cannot do, that society needs and that give people a sense of purpose. Examples include accompanying an older person to visit a doctor, helping at an orphanage and serving as a sponsor at charity organization. The volunteer service jobs of today, in other words, may turn into the real jobs of the future.Other volunteer jobs may be higher-paying and professional, such as compassionate medical service providers. In all cases, people will be able to choose to work fewer hours than they do now.56. In what aspect is the A.I. revolution different from the Industrial or the Computerrevolution?A. The A.I. revolution will finally become one beyond human’s control.B. A.I. is believed to lead to a point in history when it takes over human intelligence.C. Higher-paying jobs will take the place of lower-paying ones in the A.I. revolution.D. It may bring about mass unemployment no matter how much employees are paid.57. The underlined word “promising” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.A. promotionalB. demandingC. guaranteedD. potential58. What does the author suggest in the face of the A.I. revolution?A. It is sensible to encourage people to take volunteer jobs.B. People should be instructed to do less demanding jobs.C. The problem of job loss can be solved by creating lower-paying jobs.D. Jobs requiring knowledge in different fields are suitable for displaced workers.59. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. The A.I. Revolution Creates New Job Opportunities.B. Challenges the A.I. Revolution Brings to Job MarketC.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.( A )Many of China’s ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development.Becoming China’s best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old, located in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring China’s remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule(骡子)or on foot. Inns were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk of violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha’s Light, in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A.D., making it the oldest building known in China at the time.Liang and Lin crawled into the temple’s most forbidding, forgotten areas to determine its age, including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats. “In complete darkness and among the awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths, we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours. When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag. We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture.” Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in “Liang and Lin: Partners in Exploring China’s Architectural Past.”56. On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s, Liang and Lin faced following risksEXCEPT ________.A. accommodationsB. personal securityC. road conditionsD. vehicles57. Liang and Lin raised public awareness of _____.A. documenting smashed historical buildingsB. rebuilding historically valuable buildingsC. saving the oldest temples in ChinaD. protecting historical buildings58.

Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.One of these expressions is Hobson's choice. It often is used to describe a difficult choice. But that is not what it really means. Its real meaning is to have no choice at all. The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson.Mister Hobson owned a stable of horses in Cambridge, England. Mister Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University. But, he didn’t really trust them to take good care of the horses. So, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. They could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. Or, they could not take any horse at all. Thus, a Hobson's choice was really no choice.Another expression for having no real choice is between a rock and a hard place. It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices, none of them good. For example, your boss may ask you to work late. But you have plans to go to see a movie with your girlfriend. If you refuse to work, your boss gets angry. But if you don’t go to see the movie with your girlfriend, she gets angry. So what do you do? You are caught between a rock and a hard place.Another expression for having no real choice is between the devil and the deep blue sea. It also gives you a choice between two eaually dangerous things. You can choose the devil(魔鬼) and his burning fires of hell(地狱). Or, you can choose to drown in the sea.1. The first paragraph is written mainly to ________ .A. tell about this difficultyB. make choices necessaryC. lead to the following paragraphD. describe a difficult choice2. In the third paragraph, the author mainly tells us ________.A. the meaning of Hobson's choiceB. the origin of Hobson's choiceC. the story of Mister HobsonD. Mister Hobson’s horses and students3. By giving the example in the 4th paragraph, the writer means to _________ .A. teach us not to go to a movie but work lateB. advise us not to be between a rock and a hard placeC. tell a real story of your girlfriend and your bossD. describe a difficult situation with few choices4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Hobson's choice is about two equally balanced choices.B. Between the devil and the deep blue sea is equally good.C. Between a rock and a hard place is equally difficult.D. Between a rock and a hard place is a situation with only safe choices.【Word Wise词汇明智】1. trust [trʌst] vt.相信,信任(赖); n. 信任; 信托; 照管2. stable [ˈsteɪbl] adj. 稳定的; 沉稳(持重)的n. 马厩,马棚,牛棚3. take care of [teɪk keə(r) ɒv] vt. 照顾,照料【经典句】You are caught between a rock and a hard place. 你处于进退两难的境地。

The rest goes to glue (胶水), soap, margarine (人造奶油), pet food and fertilizer.Fishermen usually freeze fish they catch at sea. Back in port, they defrost the fish, make the fish have no bones in it and sell it as fresh fish.Over ninety-five percent of fish caught is in the northern hemisphere. Thus, only about five percent of all fish caught is from south of the equator.The Japanese are the world champion fish eaters. They eat twice as much fish as the Scandinavians, and five times as much fish as the Americans.The Russian sturgeon (鲟鱼) is the most expensive fish in the world.

Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does somethin the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant (怀孕的)woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear thestory again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere ( 干预)unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not sufferfrom depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did ter when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.52.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babiesA. The environment.B. Mother#39;s sensitivity.C. Their peers (同龄人)D. Education before birth.53.What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the storiesA. To prove that babies can learn before they are born.B. To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are born.C. To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babies.D. To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies#39; language skills.54.Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skillsA. The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their children.B. The children of women who did not suffer from depression.C. The children of depressed but caring mothers.D. Children with high communication abilities.55.What is the main idea of the passageA. Scientific findings about how babies develop before birth.B. Scientific findings about how time has an effect on babies#39; intelligence.C. A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are rice or six months old.D. Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babies.答案解析:【答案】52.C53.A54.A55.Dhere are some strange driving laws in different countries.完形填空答案here are some strange driving laws in different countries.CountriesLawsVietnamIf you’re in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver’s license, you risk a prison sentence of up to three years.RussiaIn Moscow, if your car is dirty enough to draw dust art, you will be fined about 2,000 rubles (about US $55).

One day, his mother asked him to take some food and medicine to his sick grandmother.Little Red Riding Hood happily agreed and set off on his journey. As he walked through the forest, he met a wolf. The wolf was very hungry and wanted to eat Little Red Riding Hood. But Little Red Riding Hood was wearing a red hood and the wolf couldn't see his face. So the wolf asked him where he was going.Little Red Riding Hood told the wolf that he was going to see his grandmother and give her the food and medicine. The wolf quickly thought of a plan to capture Little Red Riding Hood and his grandmother.He followed Little Red Riding Hood to his grandmother's house and waited outside. When Little Red Riding Hood came out of the house,the wolf jumped out and captured him. The wolf then went inside the house and ate Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother.After that, he put on the grandmother's clothes and waited for Little Red Riding Hood to wake up. When Little Red Riding Hood finally woke up, he was very surprised to see the wolf standing over him. The wolf pretended to be Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother and asked him why he had taken so long to get there.Little Red Riding Hood explained that he had met a wolf on the way who had asked him where he was going. The "grandmother" became angry and said that he should never talk to strangers. She then asked him if he had brought her the food and medicine.Little Red Riding Hood quickly realized that the woman in front of him was not his grandmother. He jumped up and tried to escape, but the wolf chased after him and caught him. Just as the wolf was about to eat him, a group of hunters arrived and scared off the wolf. They saved Little Red Riding Hood and took him back to his mother.From then on, Little Red Riding Hood learned a valuable lesson: never trust strangers or go anywhere alone.。

(高中英语2019版)精编优选练(三十二)中华传统文化增分练-阅读理解1(含答案)

精编优选练(三十二)中华传统文化语篇专题——阅读理解1(限时:30分钟)AThere are mainly four great traditional cuisines that are viewed as representatives of Chinese culinary (烹饪的) skills.ShandongIt is all about local, fresh ingredients and the stars are the seafood, including scallops, prawns, clams, sea cucumbers, and squid. Other commonly used ingredients include maize, peanuts, millet, wheat, oat, and a distinct type of vinegar. Quick­fried, stir­fried, stewed and braised items are among the more than thirty cooking techniques of Shandong cuisine.GuangdongAuthentic Cantonese cuisine is among the most adventurous in China in terms of variety of ingredients as the Cantonese are famous, even among the Chinese, for their extremely wide definition of what is considered edible (可食用的). Sauces, like hoisin, oyster sauce, sweet and sour sauce are predominant in Cantonese cuisine which produces light, sweet, tender and crisp dishes.SichuanSaying Sichuan cuisine is hot and spicy is an understatement. Mouth ­numbing (麻嘴的) and sweat­inducing, one can easily become addicted to the Sichuan peppercorns and dry peppers. Also sweat­inducing but in a different way is the Sichuan (as well as Chongqing) hotpot—perfect for the winter yet beloved by locals in the summer. The uniqueness of its cuisine also resides in its two cookingmethods, the dry­braising (焖) and the dry­stewing.HuaiyangConsidered a sub­regional style of the Jiangsu region, which also claims Shanghai and Hangzhou cuisine as descendants, Huaiyang cuisine is renowned for the delicateness of the dishes as well as the liberal use of sugar. Chefs of Huaiyang cuisine are more concerned with the presentation of the dishes as opposed to the “large plate contains everything”mentality typical of northern Chinese cuisine. Representative dishes include tofu noodles, Beggar's Chicken, congee, Yangzhou fried rice and braised meatballs.Another standout is the crab soup dumplings.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国四大传统烹饪技术。

高中生英语时文阅读资源一(时政类2篇)BRICS: For a better united future金砖国家:共创美好未来背景导读最早提出“金砖四国”这一概念的是美国高盛公司,传统“金砖四国”(BRIC)采用了巴西、俄罗斯、印度和中国的英文首字母。

由于该词与英语单词的砖(Brick)类似,因此被称为“金砖四国”。

南非加入后,其英文单词将变为“BRICS”,并改称为“金砖国家”。

2011年4月14日,金砖国家领导人第三次高峰会(summit)在中国海南三亚市举行。

五国领导人积极商讨如何协调应对重大国际问题、如何深化和扩大彼此间合作、如何加强金砖国家合作机制等问题。

The third BRICS summit concluded on April 14 with the signing of the Sanya Declaration, highlighting the strengthening of the five-nation bloc and promoting common prosperity. The meeting of Brazil, Russia, India, China and newly admitted South Africa (BRICS) in Sanya, Hainan province, drew worldwide attention because the five countries together account for about 40 percent of the world population and about 18 percent of GDP.The BRICS economies have become increasingly important for the world economy not only because they overcame the impact of the global financial crisis earlier than the rest of the world, but also because they have maintained relatively rapid economic growth. Compared with the world average of 3 percent, the bloc achieved 6 percent growth last year, accounting for 60 percent of the global economic growth.But BRICS is still a fledging bloc, and has to strengthen its intrinsic cooperative mechanisms to play the role it deserves on the world stage. In the Sanya Declaration, the bloc has expressed its determination to transform its hopes of strengthened political cooperation into reality. To do that, the five countries have vowed to take a series of measures to strengthen mutual cooperation on a wide range of issues.To play a bigger role on the world stage, the BRICS economies also have to consolidate their economic relationship. For example, China is the largest trading partner of India, Brazil and South Africa, but its bilateral trade volume with the three countries is only dozens of billions of dollars. The bilateral trade volumes of India, Brazil, South Africa and Russia are even smaller. This shows that the BRICS economies have a lot of room to increase and expand mutual trade.Since all the BRICS economies are developing countries, it is imperative that they work together to develop their bloc into a viable channel for greater South-South cooperation. The entry of South Africa into the bloc is expected to push BRICS in that direction.As developing countries, the BRICS economies are in the same or similar development stage and face identical problems. These factors will help make the bloc not only an important platform for South-South cooperation, but also a vital South-North communication channel.On major global issues such as climate change and environmental protection, food security and renewable energy, the BRICS economies should try to assume a decision-marker's role rather than being passive participants - for only the active participation of the bloc and other developing nations will help build a more just and reasonable international political and economic order.(421 words)Summit: n. a meeting between the leaders of two or more countries 首脑会议Highlight:v. to emphasize 突出Bloc: n. a group of countries acting together 集团、联盟Prosperity:n. the state of being successful, esp. in making money 繁荣、兴旺Impact:the powerful effect that sth has on sb/sth 影响;冲击Fledging: an organization that is new and without experience没有经验的组织Intrinsic:adj. belonging naturally; essential 内在的;本质的Bilateral: adj. involving two groups or nations 双边的、双方的Viable: adj. capable of working successfully; feasible 切实可行的、可实施的Identical: adj. exactly the same 完全相同的Make the best choice based on what is read.( ) 1.

高中英语阅读集锦(一)1 2012北京卷AThe Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students.

White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ~70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle(车座)and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end.

It contained €10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名)envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper 's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of € 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.“I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for."For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said.
