理了2024年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬：泰國(guó)大象的生存危機(jī)，一起來(lái)看看吧。 2024年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬：泰國(guó)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.

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。

You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness. 　　Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion. 　　Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends. 　　I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness. 　　Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he’s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. 　　Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out ever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. 　　Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 　　1.Which of the following is true? 　　A.Fun creates long-lasting satisfaction. 　　B.Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness. 　　C.Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived. 　　D.Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness. 　　2.To the author, Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is to __. 　　 memoir after memoir about their happiness. 　　 the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun. 　　 people how to enjoy their lives. 　　 happiness to the public instead of going to glamorous parties. 　　3.In the author’s opinion, marriage___. 　　s greater fun. 　　 to raising children. 　　tes commitment. 　　 in pain. 　　4.Couples having infant children___. 　　 lucky since they can have a whole night’s sleep. 　　 fun in tucking them into bed at night. 　　 more time to play and joke with them. 　　 happiness from their endeavor. 　　5.If one get the meaning of the true sense of happiness, he will__. 　　 playing games and joking with others. 　　 the best use of his time increasing happiness. 　　 a free hand to money. 　　 himself with his family. 參考答案:CBCDB 以上就是今天的學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容啦。大家要利用好最后一個(gè)月的時(shí)間多多練習(xí)，并且多進(jìn)行模考熟悉考試流程。小編預(yù)祝大家順利通過(guò)英語(yǔ)六級(jí)~

The free tour takes the visitor through several centuries of painting, from the Victorian aesthetic h the PreRaphaelite school, to modern abstract an. 　　Kim Gowland, a gallery executive. said: "Looking at art is a stress-relieving activity. What we are tryingto do is encourage people who work in the city to spend half an hour of their lunchbreak in the gallery. to chill out rather than rush around the shops." 　　The five works chosen by Andrew Loukes. the gallery's manager, are: John Roddam Spencer Stanhope’s The Waters of Lethe (1880), Turner's Thomson’s Aeolian Harp (1809), Sir John Everett Millais’s Autumn Leaves (1856), James Durden’s Summer in Cumberland (1925) and Bridget Riley’s Zephyr (1976). 　　Mr. Loukes said: "We chose five pictures that suggest restfulness. We also wamed to display the breadth of the collection. We arc particularly strong in early-19th and early-20th-century British art." 　　Their therapeutic powers have been endorsed by Olga Gregson and Terry Looker from the Department of Biological Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University. Dr. Gregson said that "research shows that stress levels have reduced and moods changed for the better” when subjects looked at paintings. 　　"Although art appreciation is very much a matter of personal choice, it is true that some works of art appeal to almost everyone, and that some paintings have qualities that can induce relaxation in most people."Dr. Gregson said. "Great painters such as Leonardo da Vinci were masters of techniques that could evoke particular responses in the viewer." 　　Dr. Gregson said the gallery represented an "oasis of calm". "You have got this wonderful opportunity to evoke a different kind of psychophysiological response." 　　1. What is done by the Manchester Art Gallery is intended to____________. 　　A) find out the relation between paintings and stress-easing 　　B) promote its magnificent collection of British art 　　C) reduce working people's stress levels by art appreciation 　　D) provide an alternative of pastime for consumers 　　2. The tour is named “tranquility tour" because__________. 　　A) it is expected to play a soothing role 　　B) it displays paintings through centuries 　　C) it comprises paintings of various styles 　　D) it only takes a half hour around lunch time 　　3. What does Kim Gowland points out about city-center workers? 　　A) They are pressed by family burden as well as their careers. 　　B) They like going shopping during their short lunchbreak. 　　C) They shouldn't rush around the gallery while looking at art. 　　D) Looking at art is much better than going to pubs or gyms. 　　4. According io the author, the painting's impact on relieving stress is__________. 　　A) based on personal experiences 　　B) vaned from people to people 　　C) in need of further study 　　D) scientifically proven 　　5. It is indicated by Dr. Gregson that da Vinci's paintings can____________. 　　A) suggest restfulness 　　B) arouse diverse feelings 　　C) capture almost everyone 　　D) ease stress in most people 　　參考答案及解析 　　1. 曼徹斯特美術(shù)館所做的事情是旨在___________________. 　　A) 找到畫(huà)作和舒緩壓力之間的關(guān)系 　　B) 推廣其重要的英國(guó)藝術(shù)藏品 　　C) 通過(guò)藝術(shù)欣賞來(lái)幫
