Inflation Inflation（通貨膨脹）是造成一國貨幣貶值的物價上漲。 通貨膨脹和一般物價上漲的區(qū)別在于：一般物價上漲是指某個、某些商品因為供求失衡造成物價的暫時上漲，不會造成貨幣貶值；通貨膨脹則是能夠造成一國貨幣貶值的普遍上漲。造成通貨膨脹的直接原因是一國流通的貨幣量大于本國有效經(jīng)濟總量。 我們來看2個例句： The rate of inflation is just the tip of the iceberg. It might mean the beginning of a serious recession. 通貨膨脹的程度只是冰山一角，這一國貨幣貶值的物價上漲。 通貨膨脹和一般物價上漲的區(qū)別在于：一也許代表經(jīng)濟嚴重蕭條的開始。 Since the Fed can basically print money, investors would be wise to respect its ability to cause inflation if it desires. 由于美聯(lián)儲可以自己印錢，如果美聯(lián)儲愿意的話，它是有能力推升通脹的，認識到這一點的投資者是很明智的。 0元試學(xué)BEC初級中級高級課程 點擊立即免費試學(xué)>> 點擊立即免費試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證~

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?

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

The Aging of the Population The Aging of the Population（人口老齡化）是指人口生育率降低和人均壽命延長導(dǎo)致的總?cè)丝谥幸蚰贻p人口數(shù)量減少、年長人口數(shù)量增加而導(dǎo)致的老年人口比例相應(yīng)增長的動態(tài)。 當一個國家或地區(qū)60歲以上老年人口占人口總數(shù)的10%，或65歲以上老年人口占人口總數(shù)的7%，就意味著人口老齡化了。 我們來看2個例句： How to solve the aging of the population and the problems brought about by in such a developing country is an extremely challenging reality. 如何解決人口老齡化及其所帶來的問

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)
