和經(jīng)濟衰退的原因是非常復(fù)雜的,接著又進行舉例,如2007-2009年的經(jīng)濟衰退,現(xiàn)代科技的發(fā)展可能會減少某些工作人員的收入。《華盛頓郵報》中,羅伯特·薩繆爾森指出,糟糕的學(xué)校、疲軟的房地產(chǎn)業(yè)以及太多的政府規(guī)定也是引發(fā)低收入和經(jīng)濟衰退的原因。所以本段主要是分析“向下流動”的原因。故A項正確。3.D細節(jié)理解題。文中最后一段提到“AhigherGDPmayhelponlythosewhoarealreadydoingwell.”GDP的增長只會有利于那些情況還不錯的人,不會幫助窮人,故A項錯誤。文中第一段提到“TheFadingAmericanDream”這一報告,已經(jīng)是“消逝的美國夢”,美國經(jīng)濟未來堪憂,故B項錯誤。文中第二段提到“theyarenotdoingaswelleconomicallyastheirparentswereatthesameage.”現(xiàn)在的美國人無法達到他們父母在這個年紀(jì)時取得的經(jīng)濟成就,故C項錯誤。文中第五段提到“whatisthesolution?
