暑期過(guò)后，相信考生們的通過(guò)第一輪真題的完成已經(jīng)對(duì)考研閱讀理解的題材有所了解，題材涉及社會(huì)科學(xué)、自然科學(xué)、人文科目，其中社會(huì)科學(xué)所占比重較大，其常涉及的領(lǐng)域有經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、心理學(xué)、教育學(xué)等，今天老師就帶各位考生一起來(lái)看一下考研英語(yǔ)真題中的經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)型題材真題，為考生向高分沖鋒助力！

一、詞匯積累

由于考研英語(yǔ)命題的時(shí)效性強(qiáng)，命題的題材高頻率穩(wěn)定，因此考生想要對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)題材比其他考生掌握的更勝一籌，就要多關(guān)注諸如《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》、《新聞周刊》、《時(shí)代》、《華盛頓郵報(bào)》等考研英語(yǔ)命題同源期刊上的文章，對(duì)詞匯和長(zhǎng)難句進(jìn)行積累。首先了解經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)術(shù)語(yǔ)，考生可以試著將每年真題中出現(xiàn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)詞匯加以總結(jié)，方便記憶、熟悉含義和用法。
在高頻經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)詞匯中，考生要注意經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)文章中的特定含義的詞匯，如captive資本、interest利率、swing經(jīng)濟(jì)趨勢(shì)。此外還要掌握相關(guān)詞組economic crisis 經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)、financial crisis  金融危機(jī)、economic depression  經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條、economic revival 經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇、private enterprise 私營(yíng)企業(yè)、enterprise in the red 虧損企業(yè)、commodity prices 商品價(jià)格、price index 價(jià)格指數(shù)、supplier 供貨商、exchange rate 匯率。

二、解題技巧

要做好考研英語(yǔ)的經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)文章，在詞匯積累以及分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)的基礎(chǔ)上，還要仔細(xì)研究真題。即要抓住文章主旨要義，弄清作者到底在寫(xiě)什么。

2007年Text3一文中，分別考察了細(xì)節(jié)題、推斷題和主旨題。可以說(shuō)經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)的文章考察的題目類(lèi)型較多，有些“偷換概念”的地方，如the safety net偷換了原文的信息the parachute，原文中說(shuō)的是“保護(hù)傘”消失了，而不是“安全網(wǎng)”消失了。命題人同樣也會(huì)設(shè)計(jì)“正反混淆”的題目，如原文的信息是家庭不得不為利潤(rùn)和股票市場(chǎng)的波動(dòng)擔(dān)憂(yōu)，而更為殘酷的現(xiàn)實(shí)是他們甚至擔(dān)憂(yōu)退休金無(wú)法養(yǎng)活自己。只是說(shuō)退休人員的安全感降低了，并不像題干中A.B選項(xiàng)說(shuō)的“a higher sense of security”、“less secured payments”，同樣，“無(wú)中生有”即把原文中未曾提到的內(nèi)容，作為題干供考生選擇，也是命題的一種方式。還需考生擦亮眼睛，通過(guò)不斷的做題實(shí)踐中積累寶貴的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

三、真題再現(xiàn)

 2007年Text3屬于經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)文章，主要介紹了處于懸崖邊緣的美國(guó)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)所面臨的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)增加的現(xiàn)狀，首先，作者指出了美國(guó)勞動(dòng)力成分的變化導(dǎo)致中產(chǎn)階級(jí)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的增加。之后作者評(píng)論道，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)關(guān)于健康儲(chǔ)蓄的政策加劇了經(jīng)濟(jì)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。最后作者指出經(jīng)濟(jì)的不良后果已經(jīng)顯現(xiàn)，并且可能會(huì)對(duì)政治產(chǎn)生影響。下面我們來(lái)一起看一下真題原文：

During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transformed by economic risk and new realities. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months.

In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics. Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today's families have budgeted to the limits of their new two-paycheck status. As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback -- a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. This "added-worker effect" could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times. But today, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner.

During the same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their retirement income. Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining millions of families who must worry about interest-rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money. For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a savings-account model, with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. For younger families, the picture is not any better. Both the absolute cost of healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen -- and newly fashionable health-savings plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wal-Mart workers, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk for families' future healthcare. Even demographics are working against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent -- and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance -- have jumped eightfold in just one generation.

From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.
