理了2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：電視有害，一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：電視有害 Yes, but what did we use to do before there wastelevision? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn't been with us all that long, but weare already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used toenjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain ourfriends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music andbroadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulatedby the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or thatprogramme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do anything, providing itdoesn't interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silenceand attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he isquickly silenced. Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homeworkundone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice formother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. Itdoesn't matter that the children will watch rubbishy commercials or spectacles of sadism andviolence so long as they are quiet. There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes areso bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world becomes a village, and society isreduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate communities. We become utterlydependent on the two most primitive media of communication: pictures and the spokenword. Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second-handexperiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day insemi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be ssplendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend aholiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, naturalsurroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly. 1. What is the biggest harm of TV?

House prices 經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展最簡單的指標(biāo)是什么呢？那就是House prices（房價）了。經(jīng)濟(jì)向上發(fā)展的時候，房價逐漸走高；經(jīng)濟(jì)不好的時候，房價也會降低；當(dāng)房價出現(xiàn)劇烈波動時，經(jīng)濟(jì)也會產(chǎn)生強(qiáng)烈的反應(yīng)。 我們來看2個例句： When U. S. house prices were rising and interest rates were low, even the poor got a chance to get a mortgage and a home. 當(dāng)美國房價飛升而利率卻較低，即使是窮光蛋都有機(jī)會獲得抵押貸款和房子。 I was one of those

Divorce rate Divorce rate（離婚率）也可以用來反映社會發(fā)展趨勢。它用于衡量和評價某個國家或地區(qū)的婚姻穩(wěn)定和幸福程度，經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展水平越高，離婚率越高；女性在社會中的地位越高，離婚率越高。中國目前的離婚率是逐年上升的。 我們來看2個例句： The divorce rate in the United States is the highest in the world. One out of every three marriage ends in divorce. 美國的離婚率居世界首位。三分之一是以離婚結(jié)束的。 In recent years, China's
