2024年12月英语四级阅读理解模拟:学习外语
2024年12月英语四级考试在即,同学们要认真备考哦。今天为大家带来的是2024年12月英语四级阅读理解模拟:学习外语,一起来看看吧。 2024年12月英语四级阅读理解模拟:学习外语 New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. 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. 练习题: Choose correct answers to the question: 1. What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment? A. Critical. B. Prejudiced. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. 2. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople ________. A. have to get familiar with modern technology B. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations C. are attaching more importance to their overseas business D. are eager to work overseas 3. 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 ________.

2024年12月英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题(2)
2024年12月英语六级考试将在12月14日下午举行,大家要认真复习哦。今天@沪江英语四六级微信公众号为大家整理了2024年12月英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题(2),希望对你有所帮助。 2024年12月英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题(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. 参考答案:CBCDB 以上就是今天的学习内容啦。大家要利用好最后一个月的时间多多练习,并且多进行模考熟悉考试流程。小编预祝大家顺利通过英语六级~

2024年12月英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题(1)
距离2024年12月英语六级考试只有一个月啦,各位小伙伴准备的如何?今天@沪江英语四六级微信公众号为大家准备了2024年12月英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题(1),检验一下最近的学习成果。一起来看看吧~ 2024年12月英语六级阅读理解全真模拟题(1) Without regular supplies of some hormones our capacity to behave would be seriously impaired; without others we would soon die. Tiny amounts of some hormones can modify moods and actions, our inclination to eat or drink, our aggressiveness or submissiveness, and our reproductive and parental behavior. And hormones do more than influence adult behavior; early in life they help to determine the development of bodily form and may even determine an individual’s behavioral capacities. Later in life the changing outputs of some endocrine glands and the body’s changing sensitivity to some hormones are essential aspects of the phenomena of aging. Communication within the body and the consequent integration of behavior were considered the exclusive province of the nervous system up to the beginning of the present century. The emergence of endocrinology as a separate discipline can probably be traced to the experiments of Bayliss and Starling on the hormone secretion. This substance is secreted from cells in the intestinal walls when food enters the stomach; it travels through the bloodstream and stimulates the pancreas to liberate pancreatic juice, which aids in digestion. By showing that special cells secret chemical agents that are conveyed by the bloodstream and regulate distant target organs or tissues. Bayliss and starling demonstrated that chemical integration could occur without participation of the nervous system. The term “hormone” was first used with reference to secretion. Starling derived the term from the Greek hormone, meaning “to excite or set in motion. The term “endocrine” was introduced shortly thereafter “Endocrine” is used to refer to glands that secret products into the bloodstream. The term “endocrine” contrasts with “exocrine”, which is applied to glands that secret their products though ducts to the site of action. Examples of exocrine glands are the tear glands, the sweat glands, and the pancreas, which secrets pancreatic juice through a duct into the intestine. Exocrine glands are also called duct glands, while endocrine glands are called ductless. 1.What is the author’s main purpose in the passage? A.To explain the specific functions of various hormones. B.To provide general information about hormones. C.To explain how the term “hormone” evolved. D.To report on experiments in endocrinology. 2.The passage supports which of the following conclusions? A.The human body requires large amounts of most hormones. B.Synthetic hormones can replace a person’s natural supply of hormones if necessary. C.The quantity of hormones produced and their effects on the body are related to a person’s age. D.The short child of tall parents very likely had a hormone deficiency early in life. 3.It can be inferred from the passage that before the Bayliss and Starling experiments, most people believed that chemical integration occurred only___. sleep. the endocrine glands. control of the nervous system. strenuous exercise. 4.The word “liberate” could best be replaced by which of the following? A.Emancipate B.Discharge C.Surrender D.Save 5.According to the passage another term for exocrine glands is___. glands ine glands ss glands inal glands. 答案:BDCBA 以上就是今天的六级阅读模拟题,希望大家利用好最后的一个月认真备考。祝大家能顺利通过考试
