Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects. Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane (颶風(fēng)) Hugo 10 years ago. In September1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state. Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes.The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern (燈籠)” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house’s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength. To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they arestrong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff. Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “ The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn’t look like it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained. 練習(xí)題： Choose correct answers to the question: 1. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina’s shore line are required ________. A. to be easily reinforced B. to look smarter in design C. to meet stricter building standards D. to be designed in the shape of cubes 2. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because ________. A. it is strengthened by steel rods B. it is made of redwood C. it is in the shape of a shell D. it is built with timber and concrete 3. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to ________. A. withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr B. anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand C. break huge sea waves into smaller ones D. prevent water from rushing into the house 4. The main function of the shell is ________. A. to strengthen the pilings of the house B. to give the house a better appearance C. to protect the wooden frame of the house D. to slow down the speed of the swelling water 5. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________. A. fancy-looking B. waterproof C. easily breakable D. extremely strong 參考答案： 1.[C] 根據(jù)題目中的專有名詞Hugo查找到文中第3段第2句。句中的In Hugo’s wake相當(dāng)于題目中的after Hugo,由該句是的stricter，better-enforced codes可知C正確。 2.[A] 第4段開始具體介紹the house,根據(jù)該段最后一句可知，這幢房子的木制結(jié)構(gòu)用長(zhǎng)鋼筋加固了，因而特別結(jié)實(shí),故選A。 3.[D] 根據(jù)題干的數(shù)字可迅速定位至第5段首，第2、3句闡述這樣做的目的是“將房屋抬髙到暴風(fēng)雨巨浪之上,及讓巨浪能在屋下

The government is about to allow universities to charge students up to $3,000 a year for their degrees, arguing that it’s a small price to pay compared with the financial rewards graduates reap later in life. But Prof. Walker’s research shows there are sharp variations in returns according to which subject a student takes. Law, medicine and economics or business are the most lucrative choices, making their average earnings 25% higher, according to the article, published in the office for national statistics’monthly journal. Scientists get 10-15% extra. At the bottom of the list are arts subjects, which make only a “small ”differenceto earnings- a small negative one, in fact. Just ahead are degrees in education-which leave hard pressed teachers anaverage of 5% better off a year than if they had left school at 18. “it’s hard to resist the conclusion that what students learn does matter a lot; and some subject areas givemore modest financial returns than others,” Prof. Walker said. As an economist, he was quick to point outthat students might gain non-financial returns from arts degrees:”Studying economics might be very dull, forexample, and studying post-modernism might be a lot of fun.” 練習(xí)題： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.What is the best title for the passage? A.Professor Walker’s Research B.How to Make Big Money. C.Differences Between Science and Arts Degrees. D.Studying Arts Has Negative Financial Outcome. 2.Universities charge students a rather high tuition mainly because_____ provide the students with very prosperous subjects to learn assume that their graduates can earn much more than they had paid don’t get financial support from the government need much revenue to support the educational expenses 3.The word “l(fā)ucrative”(Line 1, Para. 4) most probably means _____ le ve able le 4.Law, medical and business graduates could earn 25% more than ______ ion graduates graduates who had not studied at the university average income 5.We can safely conclude that the author ______ s arts degrees as meaningless this result disappointing and unfair the students to think twice before they decide what to learn in college that arts degrees are still rewarding despite its scarce financial returns 參考答案： 1.[D] 主旨大意題。本文為Walker教授的研究成果，旨在說明不同專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生有不同的經(jīng)濟(jì)回報(bào)，并非要傳授發(fā)財(cái)心得或者比較文理科的異同。文章首句即為本題解題關(guān)鍵，故D正確。 2.[B] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。定位至第3段第1句。本文只有這一句與收取學(xué)費(fèi)有關(guān)，后一個(gè)分句即前一個(gè)分句的理由，抓住其中隱含的因果關(guān)系就不難找到正確答案。 3.[C] 詞義理解題。通過下文數(shù)據(jù)earnings 25% higher和get 10-15% extra可以推測(cè)lucrative大意應(yīng)為“給人帶來(lái)豐厚收入的”,故選C。 4.[C] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。第4段中出現(xiàn)了幾個(gè)比較數(shù)字，考題要求找到此段首句提到的收人增加25%的參照點(diǎn)。第2段第1句中的Getting through university 表明這類學(xué)生收人增加25%的參照對(duì)象是沒讀大學(xué)的人，且從第4段第3句中的the list和第4句即可以確定這一段是在比較大學(xué)畢業(yè)與18歲畢業(yè)(即沒讀大學(xué))收入的不同，因此C正確。 5.[D] 推理判斷題。結(jié)論往往出現(xiàn)在文章結(jié)尾,要想答年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試在即，同學(xué)們要認(rèn)真?zhèn)淇寂丁＝裉鞛榇蠹規(guī)?lái)的是2024年對(duì)此題,一定要仔細(xì)體會(huì)本文末句。本文雖然重點(diǎn)討論文科沒有經(jīng)濟(jì)效益，但是作者并沒有做出主觀判斷，故A、B、C都不正確，而作者在文章最后講到了人文學(xué)科雖然經(jīng)濟(jì)效益不佳但學(xué)習(xí)過程更有趣，故D符合作者意思。 以上就是關(guān)于“2024年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬：大學(xué)專業(yè)選擇”的全部?jī)?nèi)容啦，祝同學(xué)們考試順利。

PPP 如果對(duì)不同國(guó)家的GDP進(jìn)行比較呢，一個(gè)方法就是PPP（Purchasing Power Parity，購(gòu)買力平價(jià)）。 購(gòu)買力平價(jià)是根據(jù)各國(guó)不同的價(jià)格水平計(jì)算出來(lái)的貨幣之間的等值系數(shù)，如果一個(gè)巨無(wú)霸在美國(guó)的價(jià)格是4美元，而在英國(guó)是3英鎊，那么美元與英鎊的購(gòu)買力平價(jià)匯率就是3英鎊=4美元。 我們來(lái)看2個(gè)例句： PPP measures show where currencies should end up in the long run. 購(gòu)買力平價(jià)方法顯示出貨幣從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看的價(jià)格。 For this reason, PPP is a more reliable comparison for the currencies of economies with similar levels of income. 由于這樣的原因，購(gòu)買力平價(jià)方法在比較有相近收入水平的經(jīng)濟(jì)體時(shí)更為可靠。 20節(jié)BEC初級(jí)、中級(jí)、高級(jí)課程 學(xué)前測(cè)試、詞匯課、各級(jí)別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級(jí)別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級(jí)中級(jí)高級(jí)課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證~

Compound Interest 愛因斯坦曾說：“Compound Interest（復(fù)利）是這個(gè)世界上最偉大的發(fā)明”。 Compound interest是啥呢？它是指一筆資金除本金產(chǎn)生利息外，在下一個(gè)計(jì)息周期內(nèi)，以前各計(jì)息周期內(nèi)產(chǎn)生的利息也計(jì)算利息的計(jì)息方法，也就是利上有利。所以，即使很小的本金，在復(fù)利的作用下還款額也會(huì)很大！ 我們來(lái)看2個(gè)例句： First of all, even a small amount of money can get you started and, with the power of compound interest, can build up quite well over time. 首先，即使很少的錢也能讓你開始，加上復(fù)利的力量，足以建立起你的夢(mèng)想。 If you really want to win with your money, take advantage of the extraordinary power of compound interest. 如果你真想用錢贏點(diǎn)什么，好好利用復(fù)利的非凡力量。 20節(jié)BEC初級(jí)、中級(jí)、高級(jí)課程 學(xué)前測(cè)試、詞匯課、各級(jí)別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級(jí)別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級(jí)中級(jí)高級(jí)課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證~

Cashless Society 很久之前，我們用貝殼當(dāng)貨幣；接著，我們用黃金當(dāng)貨幣；后來(lái)，黃金太麻煩啦，我們又用紙幣當(dāng)貨幣。 現(xiàn)在，我們覺得紙幣也麻煩了，我們已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了cashless society（無(wú)現(xiàn)金社會(huì)）。坐公交手機(jī)刷一下就好、付錢微信支付寶就行、去國(guó)外旅游也可以不兌換外幣了，很多以前想象的便利都變成了現(xiàn)實(shí)。 我們來(lái)看2個(gè)例句： Already, the cashless society is real for some. 對(duì)某些人來(lái)說，無(wú)現(xiàn)金的社會(huì)早已經(jīng)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)了。 On the international stage, many countries are moving at fast pace into the cashless society. 在國(guó)際舞臺(tái)上，許多國(guó)家正疾步踏入無(wú)現(xiàn)金社會(huì)。 20節(jié)BEC初級(jí)、中級(jí)、高級(jí)課程 學(xué)前測(cè)試、詞匯課、各級(jí)別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級(jí)別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級(jí)中級(jí)高級(jí)課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證
