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. Today the elephant population is estimated at 5,150. 5. The passage is most probably from_______.

2024年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試在即，同學(xué)們要認(rèn)真?zhèn)淇寂丁＝裉鞛榇蠹規(guī)?lái)的是2024年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬：大學(xué)專業(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,要想答大對(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)專業(yè)選擇”的全部?jī)?nèi)容啦，祝同學(xué)們考試順利。

Unemployment Rate 社會(huì)人最關(guān)注的的經(jīng)濟(jì)指標(biāo)大概就是Unemployment Rate（失業(yè)率）了。 Unemployment Rat可以用來(lái)判斷一定時(shí)期內(nèi)全部勞動(dòng)人口的就業(yè)情況。它可以適當(dāng)反應(yīng)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，比如這幾年大環(huán)境不景氣，考公大考研的人數(shù)明顯增多，2020年考研人數(shù)怒增50萬(wàn)就是很明顯的例子。 我們來(lái)看2個(gè)例句： He said the unemployment rate remains "unacceptably high" and that faster growth is needed to replace jobs lost in the economic downturn. 他說(shuō)，失業(yè)率之高依然“不可接受”，需要加快增長(zhǎng)速度已彌補(bǔ)在經(jīng)濟(jì)下滑期間失去的工作崗位。 The U. K. unemployment rate, surprisingly, is only slightly above the German rate. 令人驚訝的是，英國(guó)的失業(yè)率只比德國(guó)高一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。 20節(jié)BEC初級(jí)、中級(jí)、高級(jí)課程 學(xué)前測(cè)試、詞匯課、各級(jí)別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽(tīng)>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級(jí)別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過(guò) 一聽(tīng)即知！ 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
