2024年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試在即，同學(xué)們要認(rèn)真?zhèn)淇寂?。今天為大家?guī)?lái)的是2024年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬：大學(xué)專(zhuān)業(yè)選擇，一起來(lái)看看吧。 2024年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬：大學(xué)專(zhuān)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(shuō)明不同專(zhuān)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(guò)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(lèi)學(xué)生收人增加25%的參照對(duì)象是沒(méi)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(méi)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(méi)有經(jīng)濟(jì)效益，但是作者并沒(méi)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(guò)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(zhuān)業(yè)選擇”的全部?jī)?nèi)容啦，祝同學(xué)們考試順利。

文中new的近音干擾，C)項(xiàng)中的forget是對(duì)have got to的近音干擾。 因此，在遇到這類(lèi)題時(shí)，要求考生要仔細(xì)，不要一看到干擾項(xiàng)就立即作出選擇，從而中了題設(shè)陷阱。 ? 此外，還要注意語(yǔ)音、語(yǔ)調(diào)。 句子形式與語(yǔ)調(diào)關(guān)系 1.以陳述句為表達(dá)形式而句末用升調(diào)，表示說(shuō)話人的懷疑，不同意或不完全同意對(duì)方的觀點(diǎn)。 2.句子結(jié)構(gòu)是陳述形式，但句末用的是降調(diào)或低升調(diào)，表示說(shuō)話人的無(wú)所謂或樂(lè)觀的態(tài)度，不表示懷疑。 3.感嘆句用升調(diào)結(jié)尾，表懷疑。 4.疑問(wèn)句句末用升調(diào)表示懷疑，而用降調(diào)不表懷疑。如"Is he honest?"用降調(diào)表示說(shuō)話者認(rèn)為他是誠(chéng)實(shí)的。 掌握以上聽(tīng)力技巧，新聞短篇部分幾本上就十拿九穩(wěn)了，想更加有把握的話，平時(shí)不妨多關(guān)注時(shí)下新聞時(shí)事、熱點(diǎn)等，兩手準(zhǔn)備，勝算更
