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 (磷酸盐)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.[

A. He treats his employer badly.
B. He runs the Wagner Company.
C. He is a victim of the American system.
D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.

❷ 高中英语语文阅读问题（高手请进）
多做。而且有些阅读提示有技巧的可以向老师问一下
比如一段写景的可以从结构，内容，上下文联系，与人物，写作背景联系起来
❸ 高中英语阅读
做英语阅读生词不需要全部懂。
一般一行里面有三个单词不认识完全正常。这种时候别去查字典。凭着语感去猜测它的意思。做题时必须提高整篇阅读的浏览速度。
我今年刚参加完高考。我做阅读时看的非常快。 可以这么说。 一篇高中难度的英文阅读我的浏览速度未必会比同样长度的中文阅读慢，甚至快于中文阅读。因为你知道现阶段英文阅读里的表达和寓意其实是不会难过中文的。
阅读平时不需要多做相关题目。但是你平时必须多读英文的文章，练速度和语感。这是必须的。
高中三年里掌握好书本上的词汇量就可以。 我现在正在学英语四级。百分之八十以上的单词与高中课本相同。
如果你想再有所提高，例如在做阅读时更轻松一些，可以在网络上搜索高中阅读常用词汇。 有很多人总结过书本上没有的又是常常出现于阅读中的词汇。
PS。 高中英语一定要做一本错题本。 摘录的题目不需很多。 几百道就够了。 要摘那些自己做错的，或者蒙对的题目。 时常翻一番对应试很有用。况且这三年有很多题目你都是重复的在做。特别到了高三以后。做错题本绝对没有坏处。
还有一点要注意就是英语作文。 你如果现在还是高一。赶紧立即马上的培养自己的写作能力。 这个至关重要。 至于怎么培养。 想要单纯应试的就去背一些经典的句型。有心的罗列各种题材所需的句子。想要真的学会怎么写好作文。你就要多看多读多背，包括单词，词组，句型。
❹ 阅读科技类英语原著文章
科技类来的我不懂，不过要理解文化源环境的话，电影是最好的办法。既然是看科技类的文章还能理解的话，英文的底子应该不错。第一件事丢掉英汉词典，那是学习语言的垃圾障碍。查词只能用英英。我自己一直用的郎文高阶。建议看原版英文电影，如果听力不是太强的，先看有字幕版，第一次大略看，整个通读理解，第2次逐字逐句抄下来， 然后反复模仿，不光发音，语气语调全要模仿，就算是怪腔怪调的也不能怕丢脸。这个过程其实很类似疯狂英语。但是确实行相当之有效。多模仿几部就能看出效果。后面就可以看一些偏重类的电影或电视节目，网上有软件可以看到国外电视节目的，或者找找看有没这类视频下载。你可以看类似科技咨讯类的节目，同样是通读后进行反复模仿。这样无意识的累积大量的科技类词汇，并且不是强制的每句都跟中文意思对上号。最重要的是你看字幕的时候，千万不要去进行翻译！简单说，是直接一晃过去脑袋就知道这句话要表达什么，而不是翻译成中文，这个是重点！举个最简单的例子是你听到APPLE脑子里出现的是个苹果而不是苹果这个中文词。如果一直靠着英翻汉汉翻英的思维转换的话，一辈子也不可能真正理解外国文化。
❺ 有什么提高英语科技文阅读的杂志吗
The Black Book
Silent Child
Behind The Closed Door
The Criminal Defense
Into The Water 17年来5月2日出版
原版英文书源阅读分享，你可以关注下。推荐流行原版小说。

❽ 高中英语阅读短文
我不太清楚怎样的短文适合高中生，就发一篇我以前读过的短文吧。
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!
