The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru』s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru』s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸鹽)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Graally, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.

Arthur Miller (1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller』s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the 「Great American Dream.」 However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.
Miller』s most famous play, Death of a SaIesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into double with his worth. Willy is 「burnt out」 and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can』t do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics』 Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.[

❷ 高中英語語文閱讀問題(高手請進)
多做。而且有些閱讀提示有技巧的可以向老師問一下
比如一段寫景的可以從結構,內容,上下文聯系,與人物,寫作背景聯系起來
❸ 高中英語閱讀
做英語閱讀生詞不需要全部懂。
一般一行裡面有三個單詞不認識完全正常。這種時候別去查字典。憑著語感去猜測它的意思。做題時必須提高整篇閱讀的瀏覽速度。
我今年剛參加完高考。我做閱讀時看的非常快。 可以這么說。 一篇高中難度的英文閱讀我的瀏覽速度未必會比同樣長度的中文閱讀慢,甚至快於中文閱讀。因為你知道現階段英文閱讀里的表達和寓意其實是不會難過中文的。
閱讀平時不需要多做相關題目。但是你平時必須多讀英文的文章,練速度和語感。這是必須的。
高中三年裡掌握好書本上的詞彙量就可以。 我現在正在學英語四級。百分之八十以上的單詞與高中課本相同。
如果你想再有所提高,例如在做閱讀時更輕松一些,可以在網路上搜索高中閱讀常用詞彙。 有很多人總結過書本上沒有的又是常常出現於閱讀中的詞彙。
PS。 高中英語一定要做一本錯題本。 摘錄的題目不需很多。 幾百道就夠了。 要摘那些自己做錯的,或者蒙對的題目。 時常翻一番對應試很有用。況且這三年有很多題目你都是重復的在做。特別到了高三以後。做錯題本絕對沒有壞處。
還有一點要注意就是英語作文。 你如果現在還是高一。趕緊立即馬上的培養自己的寫作能力。 這個至關重要。 至於怎麼培養。 想要單純應試的就去背一些經典的句型。有心的羅列各種題材所需的句子。想要真的學會怎麼寫好作文。你就要多看多讀多背,包括單詞,片語,句型。
❹ 閱讀科技類英語原著文章
科技類來的我不懂,不過要理解文化源環境的話,電影是最好的辦法。既然是看科技類的文章還能理解的話,英文的底子應該不錯。第一件事丟掉英漢詞典,那是學習語言的垃圾障礙。查詞只能用英英。我自己一直用的郎文高階。建議看原版英文電影,如果聽力不是太強的,先看有字幕版,第一次大略看,整個通讀理解,第2次逐字逐句抄下來, 然後反復模仿,不光發音,語氣語調全要模仿,就算是怪腔怪調的也不能怕丟臉。這個過程其實很類似瘋狂英語。但是確實行相當之有效。多模仿幾部就能看出效果。後面就可以看一些偏重類的電影或電視節目,網上有軟體可以看到國外電視節目的,或者找找看有沒這類視頻下載。你可以看類似科技咨訊類的節目,同樣是通讀後進行反復模仿。這樣無意識的累積大量的科技類詞彙,並且不是強制的每句都跟中文意思對上號。最重要的是你看字幕的時候,千萬不要去進行翻譯!簡單說,是直接一晃過去腦袋就知道這句話要表達什麼,而不是翻譯成中文,這個是重點!舉個最簡單的例子是你聽到APPLE腦子里出現的是個蘋果而不是蘋果這個中文詞。如果一直靠著英翻漢漢翻英的思維轉換的話,一輩子也不可能真正理解外國文化。
❺ 有什麼提高英語科技文閱讀的雜志嗎
The Black Book
Silent Child
Behind The Closed Door
The Criminal Defense
Into The Water 17年來5月2日出版
原版英文書源閱讀分享,你可以關注下。推薦流行原版小說。

❻ 為什麼高考英語閱讀理解的科技文,都這么難啊!
可能因為不感興趣吧 生詞多 相對記敘文 會更感興趣些看的下去
❼ 高中英語,閱讀理解66題,求解答,有圖有文高手來
先給個贊吧
❽ 高中英語閱讀短文
我不太清楚怎樣的短文適合高中生,就發一篇我以前讀過的短文吧。
Nothing to worry about
The rough road across the plain soon became so bad that we tired to get Bruce to ddrive back to the village we had come from. Even thought the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes, Bruce ws not in the least perturbed. Glancing at his map, he informed us that the next village was a mere twenty miles away. It was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties. He simply had no sense of danger at all. No matter the conditions were, he believed that a car should be driven as fast as it could possibly go.
As we bumped over the sty track, we swerved to avoid large boulders. The wheels scooped up stones which hammered ominously under the car. We felt sure that sooner or later a stone would rip a hole in our petrol tank or damage the engine. Because of this, we kept looking back, wondering if we were leaving a trail of oil and petrol behind us.
What a relief it was when the boulders suddenly disappeared, giving way to a stretch of plain where the only obstacles were clomps of bushes. But there was worse to come. Just ahead of us there was a huge fissure. In response to renewed pleadings, Bruce stopped. Though we all got out to examine he fissure, he remained in the car. We informed him that the fissure extended for fifty yards and was two feet wide and four feet deep. Even this had no effect. Bruce went into a low gear and drove at a terrifying speed, keeping the front wheels astride the crack as he followed its zigzag course. Before we had time to worry about what might happen, we were back on the plain again. Bruce consulted the map once more and told us that the village was now only fifteen miles away. Our next obstacle was a shallow pool of water about half a mile across. Bruce charged at it, but in the middle, the car cae to a grinding halt. A yellow light on the dashboard flashed angrily and Bruce cheerfully announced that there was no oil in the engine!
