传统阅读 经济篇
对于考研阅读试题，由于客观试题本身对选项的要求——解的唯一性和选项间的不可争议性。而社会科学本身不同于自然科学，有非常明确的界限。命题人为了避免两者之间的冲突，所选文章通常具有以下两大特点：
1．文章中心单一、突出，即整个文章的说明或论述均紧紧围绕一个中心进行。
2．作者对所描述或论述的事物持有的态度褒贬分明（当然，客观描述某些事件的态度除外，因为作者态度是客观的，就不会有个人的褒贬之态）。
文章的这两大特点也构成了考生在正确答题时的两条宏观主线（通常考生把握这两点足以保证拿下阅读试题中70%以上的分数）。
如：
When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero is not biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filing or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I'm a good economic indicator,” she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle--brow Dillard's department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don't know if other clients are going to abandon me, too，” she says.
Even before Alan Greenspan's admission that America's red-hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealer-ships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year's pace. But don't sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy's long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening.
