Taiwan appears in newspaper headlines more often these days. On April 26, 2005 Kuomintang leader, Lien Chan, visited the mainland and three days later, President Hu Jintao held talks with him. This is the first meeting in 56 years and may help to bring peace across the Taiwan Straits (海峡).      How much do you know about this beautiful island? The island faces Fujian. The shortest distance from Taiwan to Fujian is 130 kilometers across the Taiwan Straits. A ship can cover it in four hours.      As the biggest island, Taiwan is still only about one-sixth the size of Hunan. Around it, there are also lots of smaller ones, like Penghu Islands and Diaoyu Islands.      Taiwan is rich in natural resources (资源). Half of the island is covered with forests, and it has many kinds of agricultural products (农产品), like rice and tea.      Taiwanese people are mostly descendants (后代) of people from Fujian and Guangdong. They still use the language from their old hometowns. They also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the Spring Festival, they even eat dumplings!      Once, communications across the Straits were not so good. In 1979, Beijing put forward an idea that Taiwanese people should use better ways of communicating and build better business and transportation. There is now more business and tourism (旅游业) across the Straits. On July 4, 2008, the first direct flights between Taiwan and five mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai Nanjing, Guangzhou and Xiamen started up.      As we all know, Taiwan is always an important part of our country. We are one big family. But some top leaders in Taiwan like Lee Tenghui and Chen Shuibian have been trying to make Taiwan an independent (独立) country. This made people on both sides angry, because it goes against the history and the wishes of all the Chinese.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 Taiwan appears in newspaper headlines more often ..”主要考查你对  政治经济类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

政治经济类阅读

考点名称：政治经济类阅读

• 政治经济类阅读：
  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。
  

• 政治经济类阅读注意：
  1、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；
  2、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；
  3、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。

  政治经济类阅读技巧：
  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。
  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。
