40、题。文中最后一段提到“A higher GDP may help only those who are already doing 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 not doing as well economically 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
41、“what is the solution? These experts say the answer is complex. But all point to one issue that needs to be examined: economic 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。.七选五【语篇解读】本文属于说明文，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了假期中的旅行任何时候都很昂贵，并介绍了一些小方法节省费用。1答案与解析：G根据后文With people still looking for that escape，its
