    Is it time to kick Russia out of the BRICs (金砖四国)? If so, it may end up sounding like a famous
    ball-point pen maker-BIC. An argument is being made that Goldman Sach's famous marketing device
    (策略), the BRICs, should really be the BICs.
    "Is Russia really worth the name BRICs?" asks Anders Aslund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute
    for International Economics, in an article for Foreign Policy. Aslund, who is also co-author with Andrew
    Kuchins of  "The Russian Balance Sheet", thinks the Russia of Putin and Medvedev is just not worthy of
    inclusion alongside Brazil, India and China in the list of future economic powerhouses. He writes:
    "The country's economic performance has fallen to such a weak level that one must ask whether it has
    any say at all on the global economy, compared with the other members of its group. I have just returned
    from Moscow, which is always dull around this season. For the last seven years, Russia has taken very
    few measures to improve its economy. Instead, the state has been living on oil and gas."
    Economically, Aslund has the numbers on his side. The International Monetary Fund figures that the
    Russian economy will fall by 6.7 percent in 2009, while China will grow 8.5 percent and India 5.4 percent.
    There is less of a case for Brazil, with a fall of 0.7 percent, but it is still doing far better than Russia.
    But the BRICs are not just about economy. As is mentioned above, it is a marketing device to encourage
    investors (投资者)to focus on the big promising players. From an investment standpoint, it could be argued
    that Russia is leading the BRICs. Its stock (股票) market is up 128 percent this year while around 80 percent
    is for the other three.
    At very least, however, Russia's economic underperformance and stock market outperformance does suggest it is indeed one of the group.
    1. According to the passage, which country will enjoy the biggest increase in 2009?
    A. China.
    B. Russia.
    C. Brazil.
    D. India.
    2. According to Aslund, Russia shouldn't be a BRIC partly because _____.
    A. Russia's economic performance is far worse than the other three
    B. Russia's leaders are not good at managing economy
    C. Russia has taken effective measures to improve its economy
    D. Russia will no longer attract investors from other countries
    3. From the passage we know that _____.
    A. Anders Aslund is working for the Russian government
    B. Russia outperformed the other three countries in stock market
    C. most people disagree Russia is included in BRICs
    D. the BRICs would end up being the BICs sooner or later
    4. The author seems to _____.
    A. suggest it's time to kick Russia out of the BRICs?
    B. feel worried about the economy of the BRICs
    C. think Russia is worth being one of the group
    D. show disappointment to Russia's economy

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 政治经济类阅读

政治经济类文章的概念:

要做好这类阅读,平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事,掌握一定背景知识,对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解,还要扩展这方面的词汇。阅读这类文章,要抓住文章的核心,即文章整体和各段主要在说什么,也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。


如何备考政治经济类阅读理解题:

【题型说明】政治经济类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。该类文章时代气息浓郁,语言鲜活,但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多,长句、难句多。政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容,读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉,经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花,文章看完,一头雾水。再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨,同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
【备考策略】建立心理优势。针对不同体裁的文章,我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取“顺读法”,以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取“逆读法”,先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。千万不用着急,因为你觉得难,其他人也一定是同感。在高考前,我们就要有这种心理准备,高考试卷肯定有一、两篇难以阅读的材料。不过,我们平时可以有意识地从报刊杂志上找一些较难的阅读材料来阅读,以培养自己迎难而上的心理素质。
【答题方法】
1、寻找主干:
根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2、剔除从句:
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3、辨别分句:
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4、寻找关键词:
如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
