　　对考研英语来说，阅读的重要性不言而喻。为了帮助各位同学更好地复习，文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理一下历年真题阅读文章中涉及的要点，包括词汇、短语、长难句以及简单的阅读方法。接下来看一下考研英语历年真题阅读要点之2017-Text 3（二），这篇文章主要探讨了GDP并非衡量经济发展的全部，应该更多关注与人民幸福相关的指标。
　　While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and environment.
　　while“尽管”；face“面临”；challenge“挑战”；consistent“一致的”；theme“主题”；budding“萌芽的”；economic recovery“经济复苏”；crash“破产”；key“关键的”；indicator“指标”；area“领域”；major economy“经济大国”；decline“衰退”；case“情况”；huge improvement“巨大的改善”；including“包括”；income equality“收入平等”。
　　This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
　　lesson“教训”，learn lesson“吸取教训”；regard... as...“视为”；sole“唯一的”；measure“衡量标准”；success名词“成功”，动词形式succeed，常见搭配succeed in。
　　So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes -- all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.
　　common“普通的”；method“方法”；factor“因素”；environmental quality“环境质量”；education outcome“教育收益”；contribute to“有助于”；sense of well-being“幸福感”。
　　The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.
　　lead to“导致”；everyday services“日常服务”；depend on“依赖”；refocus on“重新关注”；improve well-being“提升幸福感”；rather than“而不是”；worry about“担忧”；figure“数字”；avoid“避免”；forecasted“预见到的”；doom“厄运”；progress“进步，发展”。
