16、閱讀三Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women'seducation may be an unusual economical field, but increasing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And econo

17、mics, with its focus on encouragement, provides an explanation for why so many girls are rid of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebodyelse

18、's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy （ 觀念 ） becomesself-fulfilling, trapping womenin a vicious （ 惡 性的 ） circle of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has

19、greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much

The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the

25、 Russian teacher named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky figured out how to use rockets for space travel . His plan was the first one in rocket science to use correct scientific calculation. About 30 years later, aU.S. scientist named Robert Goddard built the first rockets that could reach high altitudes . Dur

36、ilure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion , the quality of determi

37、nation to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try aga

38、in.Besides, if we always give up whenwe fail , we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not makethe sameones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.Finally, we should never g

39、ive up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succ

Furthermore, if we give up , we have no chance of attaining our goals any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Topic: Nev

44、 is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor.WheneverI speak to Chinese students they always say, “ Myspoken English s poor” . However, their spoken English doesn t have to remain “ poor” . I would like to suggest that there maybe somereasons for their problems with spoken English.Fi

45、rst, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second

46、, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking, because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using tenses to get your

47、 message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word of tense, but it doesn t matte r because the person you are speaking to will understand you.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have

48、one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than pro-active language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking高一任務(wù)型閱讀訓(xùn)練七opportunities

A natural disaster strikes in a

52、remote part of the world, causing destruction and suffering. Villages are flattened and people are forced into camps. It is now happening in China, after the earthquake of magnitude （里氏） 8 that was centered on Wenchuan but shook the entire country.Actually, in the past centuries, there were hundreds

53、 of thousands of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In Sept. 1923, Tokyo and Yokohamawere both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. Oneof the most serious earthquakes was in China s Shanxi Province in 1556. It claimed almost one mill

54、ion people.We measure an earthquake s strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California inthe USA.It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.The earth s crust （地殼 ） is madeup of layers of roc

55、k called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it.Earthquakes can also break up gas o

56、r oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of the earthquakes is tsunamis （ 海嘯 ）. These are hugewaves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many meters high and cause great damage to costal towns and cities.China,
