20 15 12 19 the national college English test band 4 has ended. This exam is multi-topic and multi-volume. The following is an analysis of 20 15 12 English reading level 4:

First of all, we can learn from the article that the main content of this reading is similar to the theme of the reading article that the previous CET-4 focused on, and it is also about science and technology. In this article, the author mainly explains why Silicon Valley is irreplaceable and reproducible. The main reasons are: (1) rich people; Nerd. It is these two reasons that have made Silicon Valley. In the article, the author compares Silicon Valley with Miami, Cornell and Boston, and draws the conclusion that the other three cities can't be the second in Silicon Valley.

Next, share with the students the answer options for the first reading:

Question 56. What do we learn from the article about Silicon Valley? This topic can be directly located in the first paragraph of the article: Can you please copy Silicon Valley elsewhere, or what is unique about it? Then below, the author further points out the reasons why Silicon Valley is irreplaceable. So the answer is: its success is hard to replicate elsewhere.

Question 57. What makes Miami unsuitable for a Silicon Valley? This topic can be located in the fifth paragraph of the original text, directly pointing out: I have a fever. This is not the kind of place that nerds like. In this way, you can choose directly: lack of the right kind of talent.

Question 58. What is the difference between Carnegie Mellon and Stanford, Berkeley and MIT? According to the stem information, we can go directly to the sixth and seventh paragraphs of the article: the weather is terrible, especially in winter, and what else? It has no interesting ancient city like Boston to make up for it. Therefore, the choice is clear: its location is not attractive to the rich.

Question 59. What does the author imply about Boston? The key to this problem lies in the bad weather, especially in winter, and where? There is no interesting old city to make up for it, because there is one in Boston, and there is no interesting old city in Boston to make up for it. So the correct option is: Author 59. It is unlikely to attract many investors and nerds.

What about venture capitalists? This question is located in the last paragraph of the article: venture capitalists are a completely different one. . . . . . And money. In this way, the correct option for this question is that they can do more than just provide money.

I hope the above answers can provide reference for all candidates, and I wish all candidates success in the exam.
