-本页仅作为预览文档封面，使用时请删除本页- The "standard of living" of any country means the average person's share of the goods

and services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore,

depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not

money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as

food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.

A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which

have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural

resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of

the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable

climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess

none of them. The U. S. A is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has

vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The

Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.

Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as

well off as the U. S. A. in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and

external wars, and for this and other reasons was. unable to develop her resources. Sound

and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to

develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than

another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important

factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people. Old countries that have, through

many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed

to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also

produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin for

saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to

turn out more goods in their working day.

1. A country's wealth depends upon______. ,

A. its standard of living

B. its money

C. its ability to provide goods and services

over another in making use of its resources. How many such advantages are mentioned in

this paragraph?

there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different

___6___ , each coming from a different source.

About 90% of the sugar is produced as food. Only 10% is used in industry for

2011英语四六级阅读理解常见解题思路

先说做阅读题的作题方法，做阅读最提倡要先看题目，再看文章，但是，这并不是要求你把一整篇的题目都看完，然后再看整个文章，而是，看一道题，看一下文章。一般来讲，文章的段落号和题目的题号是对应的，而且，还要确信一点，几乎百分之九十的题目，都能从文章中找到对应的那句话，所以，先看题，看看通过套路是否直接选出答案，如果不能，找出题干中的关键词，关键词包括：人名，地名，年代，专有名词等等，通过这些关键词去找对应的那句话。就ok了。这是笼统地说，具体上先说不看文章但看选项就能选出答案的技巧。

1、最基本的，第一篇文章的第一题一般不选A，不信就翻翻历年真题的答案。假如你是命题的人，你也不会把第一道题的答案放在上来就能选中的位置上。

2、答案在意思相近或相反的选项中。

3、有always的选项不选。

4、有be of……的选项是答案。因为那个句式比较特殊。

5、有极端词(only/must/obveriousl/no等等)的选项不选。

6、注意is的绝对语气以及注意may/should的缓和语气。

7、关于处理态度题，记住这个：有客观选客观，没有客观选乐观，没有乐观选谨慎，没有谨慎选惊讶。有了这个，历年一切态度题几乎可以不看文章搞定。 8、这是一条让你检查一篇文章的五个题目整体的对错情况。看看，连对错都能自己看出来。记住两条，一、五个答案不能只限两种字母选项，比如BBDBD，ACACA这种。二、没有三个连续一样的答案，比如，AAACC，BBDDD这种。如果你发现你做的那篇文章出现了这种情况，那么其中肯定有错的。

通过以上八条，基本上可以在读文章之前处理一大批题目了，而且命中率相当高。

African elephants have been slaughtered at alarming rate over the past decade, largely because they are the

primary source of the world's ivory. Their population has been dwindled from 1.3 million in 1979 to just 625,000

today, and the rate of killing has been accelerating in recent years because many of the older, bigger tusked

animals have already been destroyed. "The poachers now must kill times as many elephants to get the same

quantity of ivory," explained Curtis Bohlen, Senior vicepresident of the World Wildlife Fund.

Though its record on the environment has been spotty so far,the government last week took the lead in a major

According to the latest research in the' United States of America, men and women talk such

different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate.

Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University, has noticed the difference in the style of

boy's and girl's conversations from an early age. She says that little girls' conversation is less

definite than boys' and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with

their listeners.

These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most

and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal

amounts—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for woman,

private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a way to explore
