對(duì)應(yīng)，由此可推斷，go under就是have problem/ difficulty之義。本題最具干擾性的是C，但文中并無細(xì)節(jié)具體說明即使入學(xué)人數(shù)滿額學(xué)校收人也很少的問題，因此C把problem定義得

成了Mid-Autumn Festival、Mid-Autumn Day、The Mid-Autumn Festival。這三個(gè)中比較正式的是The Mid-Autumn Festival，如果想要使用比較正式的表達(dá)方式，一定要記得使用定冠詞“the”。 ② Moon Festival[?fest?vl] 中秋節(jié)的一項(xiàng)主要活動(dòng)就是賞月了，在我國自古以來就有賞月的習(xí)俗，所以根據(jù)這項(xiàng)賞月的活動(dòng)，外國人又稱中秋節(jié)為月亮節(jié)，即Moon Festival. ③ Mooncake Festival Mooncake Festival，這個(gè)中秋節(jié)的英文說法，也是來源于中秋節(jié)的另一項(xiàng)活動(dòng)--吃月餅，如果說賞月只是在古代比較盛行，那么吃月餅這個(gè)習(xí)俗則是流傳至今。月餅最初是用來祭奉月神的祭品，在祭月之后，由家中長(zhǎng)者將餅按人數(shù)分切成塊，每人一塊，如怎么有人不在家也要為其留下一份，寓意家人團(tuán)圓的象征。月餅在外國人稱為Mooncake，這個(gè)節(jié)日也被稱為月餅節(jié)，即Mooncake

去掉雜念，心緒要安定，精神要專一，良好的閱讀習(xí)慣+好的閱讀技巧會(huì)讓你事倍功半。 6、要注意提高閱讀速度。從某個(gè)角度來說，閱讀理解考的是速度，慢讀是不行的。因此做閱讀理解時(shí)，要注意培養(yǎng)自己快速閱讀的'習(xí)慣。 三、做英語閱讀理解的技巧 閱讀積累要提高閱讀水平，詞匯量與短語量非常重要。所以要提高閱讀水平，我們就得學(xué)會(huì)積累詞語。我們不妨這么做：在通讀全文后看第二遍，遇到生詞盡可能根據(jù)上下文來猜，仍猜不出意思的，就查詞典，然后將這些詞抄寫在一本可隨身攜帶的小本子上。 每當(dāng)有空時(shí)，就拿出這個(gè)小本子來背誦記憶。這樣做不但不費(fèi)時(shí)，而且效果也很好。因?yàn)椴粫r(shí)地接觸、反復(fù)地記憶，詞匯量會(huì)增加得很快。 另外，句子都能看懂，但讀完文章印象卻不深，這就牽涉到對(duì)文章框架結(jié)構(gòu)的整體理解。首先，要重視文章的標(biāo)題和文章的首句，因?yàn)槲恼碌臉?biāo)題或首句就是文章的主題，文章的內(nèi)容就是圍繞主題展開的。 還有就是文章的結(jié)尾句往往是這篇文章的結(jié)論或作者寫這篇文章的用意所在;還有就是要善于標(biāo)注文章關(guān)鍵句，可以幫助你掌握文章的全貌，理解文章的主題。很多題目就是圍繞它們而設(shè)計(jì)的。 以上就是小編給大家分享的英語閱讀成績(jī)提升技巧，希望可以給大家學(xué)習(xí)帶來幫助。 如果您對(duì)英語學(xué)習(xí)感興趣，想要深入學(xué)習(xí)，可以了解滬江網(wǎng)校精品課程，量身定制高效實(shí)用的個(gè)性化學(xué)習(xí)方案，專屬督導(dǎo)全程伴學(xué)。掃一掃領(lǐng)200暢學(xué)卡

Entire epochs havebeen named for materials. So what to call thedecades ahead? The choice will be tough. Welcometo the age of superstuff. Material science -- once theleast sexy technology – is bursting with new, practical discoveries led by superconducting ceramicsthat may revolutionize electronics. Butsuperconductors are just part of the picture: from house and cars to cook pots and artificialteeth, the world will someday be made of different stuff. Exotic plastics, glass and ceramics willshape the future just as surely as have genetic engineering and computer science. The key to the new materials is researchers’ increasing ability to manipulate substances atthe molecular level. Ceramics, for example, have long been limited by their brittleness. Butby minimizing the microscopic imperfections that cause it, scientists are making far strongerceramics that still retain such qualities as hardness and heat resistance. Ford Motor Co. nowuses ceramic tools to cut steel. A firm called Kyocera has created a line of ceramic scissorsand knives that stay sharp for years and never rust or corrode. A similar transformation has overtaken plastics. High-strength polymers now formbridges, ice-skating rinks and helicopter rotors. And one new plastic that generates electricitywhen vibrated or pushed is used in electric guitars, touch sensors for robot hands and karatejackets that automatically record each punch and chop. Even plastic litter, which oncethreatened to permanently blot the landscape, has proved amenable to molecular tinkering. Several manufacturers now make biodegradable forms; some plastic six-pack rings forexample, gradually decompose when exposed to sunlight. Researchers are developing ways tomake plastics as recyclable as metal or glass. Besides, composites – plastic reinforced withfibers of graphite or other compounds – made the round-the-world flight of the voyagerpossible and have even been proved in combat: a helmet saved an infantryman’s life bydeflecting two bullets in the Grenada invasion. Some advanced materials are old standard with a new twist. The newest fiberoptic cablethat carry telephone calls cross-country are made of glass so transparent that a piece of 100 miles thick is clearer than a standard window pane. But new materials have no impact until they are made into products. And that transitioncould prove difficult, for switching requires lengthy research and investment. It can be said afirmer handle on how to move to commercialization will determine the success or failure of acountry in the near future. 1. How many new materials are mentioned in this passage? [A] Two [B] Three [C] Four [D] Five 2. Why does the author mention genetic engineering and computer science? [A] To compare them with the new materials. [B] To show the significance of the new materials on the future world. [C] To compare the new materials to them. [D] To explain his view point. 3. Why is transition difficult?

理了2024年12月英語四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬：泰國大象的生存危機(jī)，一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語四級(jí)閱讀理解模擬：泰國大象的生存危機(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. Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants. 2. Thailand was once called “Land of the White Elephant” because_______. 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_______. A. a travel magazine B. a history book C. a research report D. an official announcement 參考答案： 1.[B] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查對(duì)比處。根據(jù)文章第l段第3句：和非洲象不同，亞洲象容易馴養(yǎng)，言下之意就是：非洲象不易馴養(yǎng)。答案中用tame替代原文的domesticate，意思相同。選項(xiàng)A與原文意思正好相反;選項(xiàng)C，D原文根本未提到。 2.[B] 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第l段第4句中的“until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background.”可知當(dāng)時(shí)白

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。

目中的after Hugo,由該句是的stricter，better-enforced codes可知C正確。 2.[A] 第4段開始具體介紹the house,根據(jù)該段最后一句可知，這幢房子的木制結(jié)構(gòu)用長(zhǎng)鋼筋加固了，因而特別結(jié)實(shí),故選A。 3.[D] 根據(jù)題干的數(shù)字可迅速定位至第5段首，第2、3句闡述這樣做的目的是“將房屋抬髙到暴風(fēng)雨巨浪之上,及讓巨浪能在屋下
