13、poverty by 2015 or earlier.From this agreement came the Human Development 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 r
14、eport is the Human Development Index(指数)This examines the achievements of 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 n

16、。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 D
17、evelopment Goals.The most important goals are to：reduce poverty and hunger；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 t
18、o 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
19、expectancy by 13 years.In the last ten years in China，150 million 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 countrie

21、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。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
22、 but that we need to make greater efforts.Although developed countries give somefinancial 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 shoul
