The bad news about a slow-but-steady recovery is clear：lingering long-term unemployment，stagnant wages，and a housing recovery that is leaving many middle-income families behind．But one interesting side-effect of the boring recovery is that it puts to rest (for now) the popular fears of an AI／robot revolution taking all of our jobs．In that brave neo-industrial world，one thing you would expect to see is GDP growth rapidly outstripping employment，as robots did a bunch of work while Americans sat around waiting for federal welfare cheeks．Quite the opposite，in the last few years，GDP-per-worker has all but stopped growing．
1.What does the word“outstripping”mean?(B)
A. Promoting．
B. Exceeding．
C. Improving．
D. Technicians．
解析：词汇题。outstrip“超过，越过；优于，胜于”；promote“促进，推进；提升，助长”；exceed“超越；超过；胜过”；improve“改善，提高”；technicians是名词，意为“技师；技术人员；技巧纯熟的人”。本句句意：GDP的增长迅速超过了就业率。因此只有B项在含义上最为接近。
2.What is the author’s attitude toward slow-but-steady recovery?(D)
A. Positive．
B. Indifferent．
C. Negative．
D. Objective．
解析：态度题。作者在该段开始主要介绍了缓慢而稳定的复苏带来的一些负面效应：比如长期失业、工资停止增长等。接下来，作者话锋一转，又指出了这种复苏带来的一种非常有趣的副作用，其实是在说明复苏带来的比较好的方面。因此作者只是很客观地在阐述复苏这种现象带来的利与弊。
An earthquake of magnitude 6．1 struck southwestern China on Sunday，resulting in the death of nearly 600 people in a remote area of Yunnan province as well as collapse of thousands of buildings，including a school．The earthquake also triggered more landslides that have blocked rivers and created rapidly growing bodies of water that could unleash more destruction on survivors of the disaster．More than 10，000 soldiers and hundreds of volunteers have rushed to Ludian County to clear roads and dig out possible survivors from the debris，but landslides and bouts of heavy rain have complicated rescue efforts．An estimated 80，000 houses were destroyed and 12，400 seriously damaged．
3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?(D)
A. Landslides have brought about more destruction on the survivors．
B. It is soldiers who have undertaken a huge proportion of relief work．
C. The rescuing work has been going on quite smoothly with no interference．
D. The rain and the landslides have added to the difficulty of rescue efforts．
解析：细节题。根据该段第二句话显示，对幸存者造成更大毁灭力量的不是滑坡，而是迅速上涨的洪水，因此A项错误；B项说是士兵承担了大部分的救援物资工作，这与原文的信息有所出入，士兵是进行救援任务，而不是分发救援物资；C项说救援工作不受任何干扰地顺利进行着，这显然与原文不符，原文提到滑坡和雨水都会使救援工作变得更加复杂。根据段落倒数第二句话，可以看出是雨水和滑坡增加了救援的难度，与D项相符，因此答案为D。
4.Where can you possibly read this type of text?(A)
A. A news website．
B. A travel guide．
C. A fashion blog．
D. A story book．
解析：推断题。A项是新闻网站；B项是旅行指南；C项是时尚博客；D项是故事书。该段主要介绍了新近发生的一次地震灾难以及震后救援工作，这些不可能出现在旅行手册上，也不会出现在时尚博客和故事书中，最可能就是新闻网站上的一则新闻报道。
