今天是第100句，离考试还有200天！我知道还是会有人会觉得，我怎么坚持了100天了还是没有看到什么进步啊？？？努力和看到效果之间总是有一段距离的，或长，或短；而成功和失败之间唯一的区别就在于你是否能挺过这段距离！继续坚持吧，谁都是这样在一次次失望，忧郁甚至绝望中过来的！只是有人遇到困难就呼天抢地，有人却默默坚持！莫问前路凶吉，但求落幕无悔！我会和大家一直在一起的，你们所遇到的我都知道，我也会帮到你们！只要我们坚持到底，就一定会成功！

今天是早年的比较经典的题目，大家可以只抄写线索句就好了！
一定要定位到句哦！
While in America the trend(downshifting) started as a reaction to the economic decline — after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late '80s — and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least among the middle class downshifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.
70. According to the passage, downshifting emerged in the US as a result of ________.
[A] the quick pace of modern life
[B] man's adventurous spirit
[C] man's search for mythical experiences
[D] the economic situation

在美国，这种趋势一开始是对经济衰落所做出的一种反应——出现于80年代后期缩小经济规模所引起的大量人员冗余之后——在英国，至少在我所认识的中产阶级的简化生活者中，这种趋势仍被认为与节俭政治有关联，虽然如此，然而我们有着不同的缘由去寻求使自己的生活简单化。

[D] the economic situation
题型识别：细节题（和因果相关）
题干定位：根据downshifting emerged 可以定位到原文中the trend started ，文中的the trend就是指downshifting;started 就是指emerged；且问题问的是in the US ,继续缩小定位范围。
思路点拨：典型的细节题思路，只不过这里有一个转折为干扰；有同学之前接受过这样的理念：只关注转折后的内容，所以在解题的时候感到别扭；这个题目答案反而来自于转折前，只去关注原因和结果就可以了，不需要关注转折。
选项分析：定位精确之后就比较容易的可以根据原文中的：the economic decline确 定答案为第四个选项：the economic situation;这个选项是很完美的同意替换。AB是未提及之选项，C可以是英国人过这样生活的原因：（文中首先说： is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain,然后说： at least among the middle class downshifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.我们能找到不同的原因来简化生活，那就可以是C man's search for mythical experiences）
四级作文预测：中国传统节日介绍。（我其实一直担心四级又考记叙文体或书信，不考那种典型的三段论，文章所以才有这样的布防，这段语料可以帮助大家写书信和介绍。）
The Mid-autumn Festival is celebrated on the night of the fifteenth day of the eight lunar month. It is, in a sense, the Chinese moon festival.
On this night, people walk in the streets to enjoy themselves. They eat moon cakes, which are so called because they are shaped like the moon. These cakes are also set on a table in the open air, meant to be eaten by the ddess of the moon.
It is generally believed that the moon is at its brightest on this night. Many poems have been written about it. Poets never tire of reading and writing such poems, in which the moon has been compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, etc. It seems that Chinese literature is far more concerned with the moon than with the sun.
