Yung Americans Are Less Wealthy Than Their Parents
The cst f living in the United States is ging up, ntes writer Alissa Quartz. As is reprted in New Yrk Pst, Quartz pints t “the csts f husing, educatin and health care in particular. ” At the same time, a new study, the reprt f which is called “The Fading American Dream” fund that half f Americans brn in the 1980s are falling behind their parents ecnmically.
These findings shw that many yunger adults are experiencing “dwnward mbility. ” In ther wrds, they are nt ding as well ecnmically as their parents were at the same age. The idea f dwnward mbility is especially trubling fr Americans, writes Rbert Samuelsn in The Washingtn Pst. He says mst U. S. citizens believe that, ver time, the amunt f mney they earn will rise and life will get easier.
Alissa Quartz wrte a bk abut the financial difficulties f Americans. In the bk, Quartz tells abut teachers wh are struggling t pay fr regular csts. One high schl teacher drives fr ride sharing service Uber at night t earn mre mney. He crrects students’ papers between riders.
A cllege prfessr turned t gvernment assistance t feed her child and pay fr a dctr. Quartz says even lawyers increasingly cannt earn an incme that enables them t meet their needs. The prblem f decreasing incmes in their field is made wrse by debt they may have frm law schl. Quartz and the ecnmists wh studied these issues say many things have led t lwer incmes and dwnward mbility. The ecnmic recessin(衰退) f 2007 t 2009 is partly t blame, they say. Mdern technlgy als plays a part. Quartz says rbts threaten t reduce the earnings f health care wrkers, reprters, and peple wh wrk at supermarkets, drug stres and tax preparatin services. In The Washingtn Pst, Rbert Samuelsn nted that pr schls, a weak husing industry and t many gvernment rules are als t blame.
With all these things, and mre, partly respnsible, what is the slutin? These experts say the answer is cmplex. But all pint t ne issue that needs t be examined: ecnmic inequality. Quartz writes that while America is ne f the richest cuntries in the wrld, it als has ne f the biggest divides between the wealthy and the pr.
The researchers in “The Fading American Dream” study make a similar bservatin. They say raising GDP will nt significantly imprve the ecnmic situatin f mst Americans. A higher GDP may help nly thse wh are already ding well. Instead, the ecnmists say, the United States culd try t repeat smething Americans brn in the 1940s experienced. As thse children grew up, they almst all benefited frm a better ecnmy.
【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。文章指出美国现在年轻人的经济条件远比不上他们父母在他们这个年纪时的经济状况。文中提出了老师在经济上的困难作为例子, 而造成这一情况的原因非常复杂, GDP的上升只不过对于那些情况已经很好的人有所帮助而已。经济学家指出, 美国可以效仿40年代美国人所经历的事, 或许可以使下一代获利。

2. What’s the main idea f Paragraph 4?

B. The influences f gvernment rules.

【解析】选A。主旨大意题。该段首先提出了两个例子, 一是大学教授要申请政府补助来养小孩、看医生, 二是一些律师也要还在法律学校时的账单。Quartz和一些研究此现象的经济学家指出引发低收入和经济衰退的原因是非常复杂的, 接着又进行举例, 如2007-2009年的经济衰退, 现代科技的发展可能会减少某些工作人员的收入。《华盛顿邮报》中, 罗伯特·萨缪尔森指出, 糟糕的学校、疲软的房地产业以及太多的政府规定也是引发低收入和经济衰退的原因。所以本段主要是分析“向下流动”的原因。故A项正确。
3. The authr indicates in this passage that ______.
A. raising GDP will greatly help the pr
B. American ecnmy has a bright future

【解析】选D。细节理解题。文中最后一段提到“A higher GDP may help nly thse wh are already ding well. ” GDP的增长只会有利于那些情况还不错的人, 不会帮助穷人, 故A项错误。文中第一段提到 “The Fading American Dream”这一报告, 已经是“消逝的美国梦”, 美国经济未来堪忧, 故B项错误。文中第二段提到“they are nt ding as well ecnmically as their parents were at the same age. ”现在的美国人无法达到他们父母在这个年纪时取得的经济成就, 故C项错误。文中第五段提到“what is the slutin? These experts say the answer is cmplex. But all pint t ne issue that needs t be examined: ecnmic inequality. ”解决经济问题的答案虽然很复杂, 但是有一项是必须要解决的, 即贫富差距。故D项正确。
