    2024年12月英語四級(jí)考試在即,同學(xué)們要認(rèn)真?zhèn)淇寂丁=裉鞛榇蠹規(guī)淼氖?024年12月英語四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬:大學(xué)專業(yè)選擇,一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬:大學(xué)專業(yè)選擇 One of the bitterest and most time-worm debates in student union bars up and down the country is resolved as academic research confirms that in financial terms at least, arts degrees are a complete waste of time.Getting through university boosts students’earnings by 25%, on a weighted average, or $220,000 over theirlifetime, according to Professor Ian Walker of Warwick University-but if they study Shakespeare or the peasants’revolt instead of anatomy of contract law, those gains are likely to be completely wiped out. 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。

  • 經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)術(shù)語:The Bank Rate

    The Bank Rate 在美國(guó),聯(lián)邦和省政府也可以向中央銀行告貸。中央銀行必須公布它的放貸利率,這便是央行利率(the Bank Rate)。 在國(guó)內(nèi),央行基準(zhǔn)利率是人民銀行公布的商業(yè)銀行存款、貸款、貼現(xiàn)等業(yè)務(wù)的指導(dǎo)性利率,各金融機(jī)構(gòu)的存款利率可以在基準(zhǔn)利率基礎(chǔ)上下浮10%,貸款利率可以在基準(zhǔn)利率基礎(chǔ)上下浮20%。 我們來看2個(gè)例: That is to say, borrowings by banks from the central bank are made costlier by raising the bank rate. 也就是說,通過提高銀行利率,增加商業(yè)銀行向中央銀行

  • 經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)術(shù)語:Export-oriented economy

    Export-oriented economy 除了內(nèi)需經(jīng)濟(jì),還有一種經(jīng)濟(jì)是Export-oriented economy(出口型經(jīng)濟(jì))。 它是指以生產(chǎn)出口產(chǎn)品來帶動(dòng)本國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展,經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展主要由國(guó)際市場(chǎng)來推動(dòng)。Export-oriented economy著重于利用國(guó)外資源與開拓國(guó)際市場(chǎng),屬于外向型經(jīng)濟(jì)。 我們來看2個(gè)例句: As the representative of the export-oriented economy, Suzhou's experience will have a strong demonstration effect across the country. 由于蘇州外向型經(jīng)濟(jì)在全國(guó)的代表性,其現(xiàn)狀和對(duì)策的研究將對(duì)全國(guó)具有較強(qiáng)的借鑒意義。 Germany, she says, is an over-indebted, export-oriented economy with an aging, shrinking population. 她表示,德國(guó)是一個(gè)負(fù)債過高的出導(dǎo)向型經(jīng)濟(jì)體,人口不斷老化和減少。 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~
