13、lopment Report.人类发展报告在2000年，147位世界领导人达成协议，争取到2015年甚至更早些，共同合作来减少贫困。人类发展报告就出自这个协议。助读讲解动词不定式短语to reduce poverty by 2015 or earlier在句中作目的状语。该句是全部倒装结构，the Human Development Report是句子的主语。One of the most important sections of this report is the Human Development Index (指数)This examines the achievements of
14、175 countries.The Index measures a countrys achievements in three ways：life expectancy (预期数额) (how long people usually live)，education and income.The index has some surprises.Norway is at the top of the list，while the US is at number 7. The other top five countries are: Iceland (2)，Sweden(3)，Austral
15、ia(4)，the Netherlands(5)The UK is in the thirteenth position，while China is in the middle of the list.The bottom ten countries are all African countries，with Sierra Leone (in West Africa) at the bottom of the list.该报告最重要的部分之一是人类发展的指数。这是对175个国家成就的检验。这项指标从三个方面衡量一个国家的成就：寿命、教育和收入。这项指标显示了一些令人感到意外的情况。挪威高居
16、榜首，而美国则排在第七。其他排名前五的国家分别是：冰岛(2)，瑞典(3)，澳大利亚(4)，荷兰(5)。英国排在第十三位，而中国则排在名单的中间。处于末端的十个国家均是非洲国家，塞拉利昂(西非)排在最后。助读讲解该句为并列句，while是并列连词表示对比关系。with Sierra Leone (in West Africa) at the bottom of the list为with复合结构作状语。The report describes eight Development Goals.The most important goals are to： reduce poverty and h
17、unger； make sure that all children have education up to the age of 11； fight AIDS and other diseases； improve the environment of poor people，e.g.make sure they have safe drinking water；encourage developed countries to give more help to other countries.这个报告描述了8个发展目标。其中最重要的目标是： 减少贫困和饥饿； 确保达到11岁的孩子都能受教
18、育； 抵抗艾滋病和其他疾病； 改善穷人的生活环境，例如确保他们喝到安全的饮用水； 鼓励发达国家给予其他国家更多的帮助。助读讲解句中make sure后为宾语从句，从句多用一般现在时态，意为“确保”。The 2003 Human Development Report gives examples of successful development.For example，in nine years (1953 1962) ，China increased life expectancy by 13 years.In the last ten years in China，150 million
19、people moved out of poverty.However，the challenges are still great.Every day 799 million people in developing countries are hungry.Over half of these are in South Asia or Africa.Although more than 80% of children in developing countries go to primary school，about 115 million children are not being e
20、ducated.More than 1 billion people in developing countries do not drink safe water.However，in other regions of the world，e.g.Eastern Europe，water is now mostly safe to drink.2003人类发展报告给出了一些成功发展的例子。譬如，在九年(1953 1962)的时间里，中国的人均寿命就增加了13岁。在过去的10年里，中国有1.5亿人摆脱了贫困。然而，挑战依然很严峻。每天发展中国家有7.99亿人挨饿。其中的一多半是来自南亚和非洲。
21、尽管在发展中国家80%以上的孩子都上了小学，但是大约1.15亿的孩子还没受到教育。在发展中国家有10亿多的人还没有喝到安全的饮用水。然而，在世界的其他地方，比如东欧，饮用水大部分是安全的。助读讲解此处although引导让步状语从句。此处为“主语beadj.to do”的结构，形容词表示主语的特征，to do通常是主动形式表示被动含义。The report shows that we are making some progress but that we need to make greater efforts.Although developed countries give some f
22、inancial help，they need to give much more.Interestingly，the countries that give the most money are the Netherlands，Norway and Sweden.These are among the five richest countries in the world，so it is right that they should do so.报告显示：我们正在进步，但是我们必须作出更大的努力。虽然发达国家提供了一些经济援助，但是提供援助的数量应该大大增加。有趣的是，其中给予钱最多的国家
23、是荷兰、挪威和瑞典。这些都在世界上最富有的五个国家之中，所以他们这样做是应该的。助读讲解shows后为but连接的两个that引导的宾语从句，第二个that不能省略。第一步速读了解文章主题和段落大意速读P12教材课文，匹配段落大意1Para.1AHow the Human Development Report came out.2Para.2 BDeveloped countries should give more financial help.3Para.3 CThe Human Development Index measures a countrys achievement.4Para
