House prices 經(jīng)濟發(fā)展最簡單的指標是什么呢？那就是House prices（房價）了。經(jīng)濟向上發(fā)展的時候，房價逐漸走高；經(jīng)濟不好的時候，房價也會降低；當(dāng)房價出現(xiàn)劇烈波動時，經(jīng)濟也會產(chǎn)生強烈的反應(yīng)。 我們來看2個例句： When U. S. house prices were rising and interest rates were low, even the poor got a chance to get a mortgage and a home. 當(dāng)美國房價飛升而利率卻較低，即使是窮光蛋都有機會獲得抵押貸款和房子。 I was one of those

解題的根據(jù)主要有四點：一是根據(jù)對話的開頭判斷該對話的主要內(nèi)容；二是根據(jù)對話的結(jié)尾判斷對話的主題；三是根據(jù)對話中多次出現(xiàn)的主要信息做合理的判斷；四是通過預(yù)覽選項進行合理的推理排除。 例4：What problem are the speakers discussing? A) The man has sent the order to the woman by mistake.B) Some of the telephone systems don’t work properly.C) Some of the packs do not contain any manuals.D) The quality of the goods is not up to the standard. 原文：W: What can I do for you? M: Well, unfortunately, there is a problem with the order we received from you yesterday. It seems we’ve not received the right quantity of manuals to support the telephone system. W: Oh, dear, that’s bad news. I’m very sorry to hear that, and you don’t know how many packs are without manuals? M: No, because we haven’t opened every pack. But in several of those that have been opened there are none. No manuals. 答案：C)。本題的關(guān)鍵詞是 manual，出現(xiàn)的問題并非在于產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量，而是缺少使用手冊，故C）為答案。 05 時間數(shù)字處 設(shè)題對話中出現(xiàn)年代、時間、價格等數(shù)字信息的地方，也經(jīng)

理了2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：電視有害，一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：電視有害 Yes, but what did we use to do before there wastelevision? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn't been with us all that long, but weare already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used toenjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain ourfriends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music andbroadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulatedby the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or thatprogramme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do anything, providing itdoesn't interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silenceand attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he isquickly silenced. Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homeworkundone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice formother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. Itdoesn't matter that the children will watch rubbishy commercials or spectacles of sadism andviolence so long as they are quiet. There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes areso bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world becomes a village, and society isreduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate communities. We become utterlydependent on the two most primitive media of communication: pictures and the spokenword. Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second-handexperiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day insemi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be ssplendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend aholiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, naturalsurroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly. 1. What is the biggest harm of TV? [A] It deprives people of communication with the real world. [B] People become lazy. [C] People become dependent on second-hand experience. [D] TV consumes a large part of one's life. 2. In what way can people forget TV? [A] Far away from civilization. [B] To a mountain. [C] By the sea. [D] In quiet natural surroundings. 3. What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet? [A] Let them watch the set. [B] Put them in the living room. [C] Let them watch the rubbish. [D] Let them alone. 4. What does the first sentence in the first paragraph mean? [A] We found it difficult to occupy our spare time. [B] We become addicted to TV. [C] What we used to do is different from now. [D] We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. Vocabulary 1. goggle 轉(zhuǎn)動眼珠，瞪眼 goggle box (英俚)電視機 2. gulp 狼吞虎咽 3. telly 電視機 4. pacifier 平息者，撫慰者。這里指平靜人，使人不吱聲的東西。 5. rubbishy 垃圾的，無價值的 6. sadism 施淫虐 7. glue 膠(水);粘牢 glue to the sets 和電視機粘在一起，指成了電視迷 8. hypnotic 催眠的 寫作方法與文章大意 這是一篇論說“電視有害”的文章。采用對比分析手法。先提出問題，對比過去和現(xiàn)在“過去在業(yè)余時間，我們享受文明的歡樂，有各種嗜好，招待朋友，訪友，外出娛樂，在家讀書聽音樂……現(xiàn)在一切受

2024年12月英語六級考試將在12月14日下午舉行，大家要認真復(fù)習(xí)哦。今天@滬江英語四六級微信公眾號為大家整理了2024年12月英語六級閱讀理解全真模擬題（2），希望對你有所幫助。 　　2024年12月英語六級閱讀理解全真模擬題（2） ? ? ? ?I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. 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月的時間多多練習(xí)，并且多進行?？际煜た荚嚵鞒?。小編預(yù)祝大家順利通過英語六級~

理了2024年12月英語四級作文范文：管理時間的重要性，一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語四級作文范文：管理時間的重要性 The Importance of Time Management As we all know, time is eternal while human is mortal. So being precious though, time is relentless to everyone. If you want to spend a meaningful life, you have to learn time management. Just as the saying goes. To choose time is to save time. Firstly, time management saves you much time via figuring out the priority or the most time-consuming task of a day, thus greatly boosting your work efficiency. Secondly, time management enables you to make full use of the fragments of time so that you can get hold of large amounts of information and knowledge. Reciting English words while waiting for a bus is a good example. Last but not least, you will gain self-assurance and elegance from your systematical schedule. In a word, compared with those who have no idea of time management, a person with good time arrangement will have higher work efficiency and an organized life. 眾所周知，時間是永恒的，而人的生命卻是有限的。因此，時間雖然寶貴，但對每個人來說都是無情的。如果你想過有意義的生活，你必須學(xué)會時間管理。 俗話說，選擇時間就是節(jié)省時間。首先，通過時間管理找出一天中的優(yōu)先級或最耗時的任務(wù)可以節(jié)省大量時間，從而大大提高你的工作效率。其次，時間管理使你能夠充分利用時間的碎片，從而掌握大量的信息和知識。在等公共汽車時背誦英語單詞就是一個很好的例子。最后但同樣重要的一點是，系統(tǒng)的日程安排可以使人自信和從容。 總之，與那些沒有時間管理意識的人相比，時間安排好的人工作效率更高、生活更有條理。
