【正文】 United States annually, about 56 million tons, or 27 percent, is either recycled (glass, paper products, plastic, metals) or posted (做成堆肥) (yard waste).　　再如樣題中“How Is Trash Disposed of”一段中：　　the trash production in the United States has almost tripled since 1960. This trash is handled in various ways. About 27 percent of the　trash is recycled or posted, 16 percent is burned and 57 percent is buried in landfills. The amount of trash buried in landfills has doubled since 1960.　　我們注意到上面的描述中充斥了大量的數(shù)字性的詞匯，可以判斷該部分信息為具體的描述，在處理的時(shí)候，可以放棄閱讀。　　如樣題第6題：In the United States the building of landfills is the job ofboth federal and local governments.　　在判斷時(shí)，一些特殊的用詞，“United States”，“building of landfills”都提示我們順利找到原文的“Inthe United States, taking care of trash and building landfills are local government responsibilities.”來判斷正誤。那么題目中數(shù)字、人名等信息（題眼）在原文中對(duì)應(yīng)的部分必須詳讀。 答題技巧八： 主賓判定 四級(jí)快速閱讀中，將題干的句子進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單分解后，問題中的主語、賓語在原文未出現(xiàn)或被偷換概念是，判定為NG.. 確定為NG的情況：（1）題目中的表述無中生有 （2）原文中作者的目的、意圖、愿望等內(nèi)容在題目中作為客觀事實(shí)陳述 （3）將原文中的特殊情況推廣為普遍現(xiàn)象 （4）將原文的內(nèi)容具體化 （5）隨意比較原文中的兩個(gè)事物 答題技巧九：相關(guān)信息準(zhǔn)確合并 快速閱讀文章中有時(shí)可能會(huì)問到所面臨的問題是什么？某事情的原因是什么？等等，這樣的問題在文中可能是在不同的位置都有表述，所以考生遇到這樣的問題時(shí)，不能只局限在某一段里面找答案，可以先做后面的題目，在后面的閱讀中發(fā)現(xiàn)還有該題的答案時(shí)，將相關(guān)信息合并后再確定答案 [例5] Water woes(災(zāi)難) may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers (地下蓄水層)，layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock. (For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground.) Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish(補(bǔ)充) it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postal. Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated with bacteria and chemical wastes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Milwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993 after drinking tap water tainted with cryptosporidium (隱孢子蟲)，a microbe (微生物) that causes fever, diarrhea (腹瀉) and vomiting. [題目] The problems Americans face concerning water are ground water shrinkage and tap water pollution. [解析]根據(jù)上面2段文章，美國人面臨水的問題主要有兩個(gè)：But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on may face even more urgent problems from ，故為YPart Five: 案例分析說明Promote Learning and Skills for Young People and Adults　　This goal places the emphasis on the learning needs of young people and adults in the context of lifelong learning. It calls for fair access to learning programs that are appropriate, and mentions life skills particularly.　　Why this goal?　　Education is about giving people the opportunity to develop their potential, their personality and their strengths. This does not merely mean learning new knowledge, but also developing abilities to make the most of life. These are called life skillsincluding the inner capacities and the practical skills we need.　　Many of the inner capacitiesoften known as psychosocial skillscannot be taught as subjects. They are not the same as academic or technical learning. They must rather be modeled and promoted as part of learning, and in particular by teachers. These skills have to do with the way we behavetowards other people, towards ourselves, towards the challenges and problems of life. They include skills in municating, in making decisions and solving problems, in negotiating and expressing ourselves, in thinking critically and understanding our feelings. More practical life skills are the kinds of manual skills we need for the physical tasks we face. Some would include vocational skills under the heading of life skillsthe ability to lay bricks, sew clothes, catch fish or repair a motorbike. These are skills by which people may earn their livelihood and which are often available to young people leaving school. In fact, very often young people learn psychosocial skills as they learn more practical skills. Learning vocational skills can be a strategy for acquiring both practical and psychosocial skills. 轉(zhuǎn)自： 　　We need to increase our life skills at every stage of life, so learning them may he part of early childhood education, of primary and secondary education and of adult learning groups.　　Its importance in learning　　Life skills can be put into the categories that the Jacques Delors report suggested?！　 more conscious and deliberate effort to promote life skills will enable learners to bee more active citizens in the life of society.　　Policy optionswhat governments should do 轉(zhuǎn)自：全球?qū)W習(xí)網(wǎng) 　　Recognize and actively advocate for the transformational role of education in realizing human potential and in socioeconomic development?！　ecognize the links between primary and secondar
