【VOA】世行行长寻求发展银行盟友

  Slowing economic growth around the world is endangering theWorld Bank’s goal of ending extreme poverty by the year2030. That is what World Bank President Jim Yong Kim saidrecently. Mr. Kim said the goal remains within reach. But hethinks extreme poverty will disappear only if world leaders andfinancial and development agencies do their part.

  What exactly is extreme poverty? The United Nations says extreme poverty is a condition inwhich basic human needs are not being satisfied or met. These needs include having clean drinkingwater, food and an education.

  Jim Yong Kim says there is good news. He says the world has made some progress towardreaching the goal.

  “Over 25 years, we’ve gone from nearly two billion people living in extreme poverty to fewer thanone billion.”

  Even with this progress, nearly one billion people continue to live on less than about $1.25 a day.Slowing economic growth in industrial and developing economies is affecting the fight againstextreme poverty.

  Mr. Kim suggests that one solution is to partner with new financial institutions such as the AsianInfrastructure Investment Bank and the New Development Bank.

  “We at the World Bank Group see these development banks as potentially very strong allies intackling the enormous challenge of bringing much needed infrastructure to the developing world.”

  Banking coalitions could help identify financing for transportation and other infrastructure needsthat the World Bank alone cannot provide. Amy Studdart is with the Center for Strategic andInternational Studies in Washington, D.C.

  “There’s a huge infrastructure gap in Asia. The World Bank itself estimates that it was $2.5 trillionworth of investment that needs to happen in South Asia and South East Asia along.”

  Many people are concerned that new lending agencies will reduce the influence of existing ones likethe World Bank. But Mr. Kim says the issue is not influence.

  “The fundamental issue for us is, your enemy cannot be other institutions. Your enemy has to bepoverty.”

  The World Bank is expected to consider those issues when world leaders meet at the UnitedNations later this year.

【VOA】世行行长寻求发展银行盟友的延伸阅读——雅思阅读高分做题策略

  阅读策略之由易到难,我认为应该贯穿两条主线:题型和单个问题。虽然题型没有绝对的难易之分,但是同一篇文章中的几个题型中总有相对简单的。简单的题型应该是指那些有顺序原则、题组中有特殊印刷体及题干较短的题型。

  我们为什么要采取由易到难的策略呢?分析认为原因主要有2个:

  一、由易到难的策略和顺序原则是紧密相关的。如果不采用由易到难的策略,那就么在雅思阅读中顺序原则的意义就会大打折扣。反之,因为采用了由易到难的策略,所以才突出了顺序原则的重要性。

  二、该原则有助于考生节省时间、增加自信心,保证后面的顺利答题。如果考生一开始就解决难题,就可能造成时间耽误过多、紧张程度增加、自信心减少甚至心烦意乱的糟糕状态。这对后面的考试是极为不利的。

  那么由易到难的策略该怎么操作呢?分析认为,要做到灵活有效地采用该策略,首先考生要明白分析问题的重要性,不可拿到考题就从第一题开始。其次,考生要有敏锐的观察力,能在第一时间观察到各组题的特点。最后,考生必须对主流题型的特点了如指掌。

  题型没有绝对的容易和难,任何一种通常认为简单的题型可能会很难,同样难的题型可能会以非常简单的形式出现。就是说考生不可以武断地认为是非无判断题最简单或填空题最简单。那么考生该怎样判断一篇文章的题型哪些简单哪些难呢?以下几个因素是考生应该重点考虑的:顺序原则、特殊印刷体及题干的长度。遵循顺序原则、有特殊印刷体及题干较短的题肯定比较好定位。

  相对来说,在5大主流题型中,选择题和其它匹配题较费时。选择题定位往往没问题,但要花很多时间分析所定位的句子和选项;而其它匹配题则可能要花很多时间来定位。所以,笔者认为考生如果碰到这类题,应该把他们放到后面再解决。在所有的主流题型中,考生应该优先考虑表格填空和告知定位的SUMMARY,因为有句谚语说得好:“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”其次应该优先考虑的是标题匹配题,因为标题匹配完成后,全文的大部分内容已经很熟悉了,为后面答题省去了许多时间。

  总之,考生如果在平时的练习及正式雅思考试时能够灵活运用这一原则的话,相信一定能够保持一个良好的考试状态并节省下许多时间。
