Inflation Inflation（通货膨胀）是造成一国货币贬值的物价上涨。 通货膨胀和一般物价上涨的区别在于：一般物价上涨是指某个、某些商品因为供求失衡造成物价的暂时上涨，不会造成货币贬值；通货膨胀则是能够造成一国货币贬值的普遍上涨。造成通货膨胀的直接原因是一国流通的货币量大于本国有效经济总量。 我们来看2个例句： The rate of inflation is just the tip of the iceberg. It might mean the beginning of a serious recession. 通货膨胀的程度只是冰山一角，这也许代表经济严重萧条的开始。 Since the Fed can basically print money, investors would be wise to respect its ability to cause inflation if it desires. 由于美联储可以自己印钱，如果美联储愿意的话，它是有能力推升通胀的，认识到这一点的投资者是很明智的。 0元试学BEC初级中级高级课程 点击立即免费试学>> 点击立即免费试学>>> 祝大家顺利拿证~

And the reasons why we need to classify garbage come as follow. To begin with, as is often said, garbage is a resource used in the wrong place. As long as the garbage is properly classified and recycled, it will not only reduce the amount of garbage，beautify the environment,  but also reduce unexpected waste, maximize the use of resources. What’s more, reasonable garbage classification will reduce environmental pollution, because through garbage classification, harmful substances can be selected out, so as to prevent harmful substances from contaminating the soil and endangering the survival and growth of plants and animals. So we should pay attention to garbage classification, protecting the environment on which we live. 面对日益增多的垃圾和恶化的环境，垃圾分类的需求迫在眉睫。我们需要垃圾分类的原因如下。  首先，正如人们常说的，垃圾是一种被用在错误的地方的资源。只要对垃圾进行适当的分类和回收，不仅可以减少垃圾的数量，美化环境，还可以减少意外的浪费，最大限度地利用资源。而且合理的垃圾分类可以减少对环境的污染，因为通过垃圾分类可以筛选出有害物质，从而防止有害物质污染土壤，危及动植物的生存和生长。  所以我们应该注意垃圾分类，保护我们赖以生存的环境。

理了2024年12月英语四级阅读理解模拟：电视有害，一起来看看吧。 2024年12月英语四级阅读理解模拟：电视有害 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 转动眼珠，瞪眼 goggle box (英俚)电视机 2. gulp 狼吞虎咽 3. telly 电视机 4. pacifier 平息者，抚慰者。这里指平静人，使人不吱声的东西。 5. rubbishy 垃圾的，无价值的 6. sadism 施淫虐 7. glue 胶(水);粘牢 glue to the sets 和电视机粘在一起，指成了电视迷 8. hypnotic 催眠的 写作方法与文章大意 这是一篇论说“电视有害”的文章。采用对比分析手法。先提出问题，对比过去和现在“过去在业余时间，我们享受文明的欢乐，有各种嗜好，招待朋友，访友，外出娱乐，在家读书听音乐……现在一切受
