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

理了2024年12月英語六級閱讀理解模擬真題：大學專業(yè)選擇，一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語六級閱讀理解模擬真題：大學專業(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 　　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)生有不同的經濟回報，并非要傳授發(fā)財心得或者比較文理科的異同。文章首句即為本題解題關鍵，故D正確。 　　2.[B]?事實細節(jié)題。定位至第3段第1句。本文只有這一句與收取學費有關，后一個分句即前一個分句的理由，抓住其中隱含的因果關系就不難找到正確答案。 　　3.[C]?詞義理解題。通過下文數(shù)據earnings 25% higher和get 10-15% extra可以推測lucrative大意應為“給人帶來豐厚收入的”,故選C。 　　4.[C]?事實細節(jié)題。第4段中出現(xiàn)了幾個比較數(shù)字，考題要求找到此段首句提到的收人增加25%的參照點。第2段第1句中的Getting through university 表明這類學生收人增加25%的參照對象是沒讀大學的人，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畢業(yè)與18歲畢業(yè)(即沒讀大學)收入的不同，因此C正確。 　　5.[D]?推理判斷題。結論往往出現(xiàn)在文章結尾,要想答對此題,一定要仔細體會本文末句。本文雖然重點討論文科沒有經濟效益，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科雖然經濟效益不佳但學習過程更有趣，故D符合作者意思。

文中的“it comes from a special type of pig”完全吻合，因此選C。 2. 同義替換 在四六級聽力中特別是六級聽力，同義替換是命題專家最愛用的考查方式，視聽一致不管用?的時候就用這個技巧。百試不爽！ 同義替換，顧名思義，聽力原文中的關鍵詞的意思和正確答案的選項意思一樣（不同的單詞表達同一個

出現(xiàn)的段落，根據句意判斷匹配與否。 備考階段時，要多做限時訓練，提高自己的檢索與匹配能力。 推薦：充分使用四六級真題集，滬江，普特等平臺亦可結合使用。 3 仔細閱讀 Tips：關鍵詞；大量訓練；臨場判斷 此題放在100分分值算是10分，每空2分。 這個題型對大家來說都比較熟悉和易于把控，但由于它的高分值，我們還是要加一些裝備確保自己萬無一失。 ? ?首先，仍然是找關鍵詞和定位法。 ? ?其次，還是大量的限時訓練。但是考試的時候，總會碰到有些題，用了排除法后感覺兩個選項都有點像，這個時候該怎么破~ 有個小訣竅：選項和原文關鍵信息上下文相似度最高的，正確的幾率也更大(當然這是針對那些看不懂選項或原文關鍵信息的娃，大神請繞道)。 推薦：充分使用四六級真題集，the Atlantic,Quora,sparknote等網站。 最后，預祝

House prices 經濟發(fā)展最簡單的指標是什么呢？那就是House prices（房價）了。經濟向上發(fā)展的時候，房價逐漸走高；經濟不好的時候，房價也會降低；當房價出現(xiàn)劇烈波動時，經濟也會產生強烈的反應。 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

It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she canbe sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的). Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forwardcertain negotiations, and cam have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. Theemployee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm. 練習題： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.

In this passage,“out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means ________. A. being unable to think properly for lack of insight B. being totally out of touch with business at home C. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad D. leaving all care and worry behind 4. According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporationsin employingpeople today? A. Connections with businesses overseas. B. Ability to speak the client’s language. C. Technical know-how. D. Business experience. 5. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can ________. A. better control the whole negotiation process B. easily find new approaches to meet market needs C. fast-forward their proposals to headquarters D. easily make friends with businesspeople abroad 參考答案： 1.[D] 事實辨認題。題目詢問的是作者對于髙科技通訊設備的態(tài)度是什么。根據文章的第1段特別是最后一句中的benefit,可推斷作者是持肯定態(tài)度的，即答案為D。 2.[C] 事實辨認題。根據第2段第1句中的who have a growing respect... abroad可看出，隨著髙科技通訊設備的廣泛使用，商人們越來越重視海外商務的經濟價值,C與之一致。" 3.[C] 語義推斷題。根據第3段第2、3句中說的“他確信國外的事務對公司的成功計劃至關重要，派往國外時或之 后常能得到升遷?！笨芍诤Ｍ獾墓芾砣藛T不再會擔心被遺忘而錯過升職機會，因此“眼不見，心不念”即為C“在國外時錯過國內升職機會”。 4.[B] 事實辨認題。題目詢問的是根據短文，當今在雇傭雇員時，國際化的公司應該著重考慮什么。這是第5段的話題，其中核心詞是language,只有B“會說顧客的語言”符合。 5.[A] 事實辨認題。題目詢問的是具有外語能力的雇員的優(yōu)勢究竟是什么。根據最后一段第1句可知，“派往國外的雇員若能講該國的主要語言，就有機會加快談判進程,而且能知道什么時候最好放慢節(jié)拍?！?A“具有外語 能力的雇員的優(yōu)勢就是他們可以)更好地控制整個談判的過程”與之一致，故為答案。 以上就是關于“2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：學習外語”的全部內容啦，祝同學們早日通過四級。
