Compound Interest 愛因斯坦曾說：“Compound Interest（復(fù)利）是這個世界上最偉大的發(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，也就是利上外有利。所以，即使很小的本金，在復(fù)利的作用下還款額也會很大！ 我們來看2個例句： 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、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級中級高級課程 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~

很多同學(xué)在備考雅思時，因?yàn)榉e累的詞匯量不夠而煩惱。@滬江英語四六級微信公眾號為大家整理了九種詞匯記憶大法，一起來看看吧。 1. 邏輯記憶 通過詞的本身的內(nèi)部邏輯關(guān)系、詞與詞之間的外部邏輯關(guān)系記憶單詞。 (1) 把幾個字母看作一個來記，如："ight" — light, right, fight, night, might, sight, tight。 (2) 外舊內(nèi)新，如：bridge"橋"看成bridge, ridge"山脊"；sharp看成sharp, harp"豎琴"。 (3) 外新內(nèi)舊，如：cleave"劈開"看成cleave；tact"機(jī)智"看成tact。 2. 聯(lián)想記憶 (1

遇到類似場景，就有了相關(guān)詞匯基礎(chǔ)和知識背景，聽起來就會輕松得多。同時，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)同一場景下的新詞匯，還可以添加進(jìn)去。經(jīng)過一定的練習(xí)，大家會發(fā)現(xiàn)，聽力對話的場景不是毫無規(guī)律的，有一些場景是經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的。 No.2 聽前瀏覽選項(xiàng)，合理預(yù)測 培養(yǎng)聽前利用播放答題指令的時間快速瀏覽選項(xiàng)的能力，這樣做有兩個作用：一是可以帶著對問題的猜測去聽錄音，增強(qiáng)聽音的目的性和對相關(guān)信息的敏感度；二是可以利用我們上面提到的場景詞匯推測對話的內(nèi)容。 No.3 利用一些常識和潛在規(guī)律來猜題 我們在應(yīng)考時要

理了2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：泰國大象的生存危機(jī)，一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：泰國大象的生存危機(jī) For centuries, in the countries of south and Southeast Asia the elephant has been an intimate part of the culture, economy and religion, and nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated (馴化). The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the authority of kingship to its rulers and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background.To the early Western visitors the country's romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”. Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less abandoned by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a westernized society. And while the elephant's problems began many years ago, now it rates a very low national priority. How this reversal from national icon (圣像) to neglected animal came about is a tale of worsening environmental and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailand’s experts on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the century there may well have beenas many as 100,000 domestic elephants in the country. In the north of Thailand alone it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 per cent of Thailand was still forest—a habitat (棲息地) that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through dense forest better than a massive but sure-footed elephant. By 1950 the elephant population had dropped to a still substantial 13,397, but today there are probably nomore than 3,800, with another 1,350 roaming free in the national parks. But now, Thailand’s forest coversonly 20 per cent of the land. This deforestation (采伐森林) is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, so the elephant's role as a beast of burden declined. 練習(xí)題： Choose correct answers to the question: 1. What can we know about African elephants from the passage? A. It is easy to tame them. B. It is hard to tame them. C. They are living a better life than Asian elephants. D.

A. white elephant is rarely seen and thus very special B. white elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s C. white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authority D. this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors 3. Why is the Thai elephant “out of work”, according to the author? A. Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners. B. Because their owners are westernized and neglect them. C. Because the government pays little attention to the problem. D. Because there are too many elephants and too few jobs. 4. Which of the following statements is true about the elephant population at various times? A. There were 100,000 tamed elephants at the turn of the century. B. 20,000 elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the century. C. By 1950 the elephant population in Thailand has been quite small. D.
