很久没有做阅读，今天先做了一篇短的，和以前感觉很不一样。即便是在单词基本没有障碍的情况下，许多选项还是需要斟酌，后面好几道题都是用排除法做出来的。
我把我的分析放在下面。主要目的是这样的：短阅读较阅读，我更觉得长阅读逻辑框架更好把握（可能是有明显分段的原因）我觉得这篇文章的结构我不是把握的很清晰，或者说把握到这个程度是否可以。。。希望大家可以把你们的对这篇文章的逻辑简图写给我看看。谢谢~（这篇不涉及行区域，所以大家就这么看没问题）

The Gross Domestic Product(GOP),which measures the dollar value of finished goods and services produced by an economy during a given period, serves as the chief indicator of the

(5) economic well-being of the United States. The GOP assumes that the economic significance of goods and services lies solely in their price, and that these goods and services add to the national well-being, not because of any intrinsic value they may

(l0) possess, but simply because they were produced and bought. Additionally, only those goods and services involved in monetary transactions are included in the GOP. Thus, the GOP ignores the economic utility of such things as a clean

(l5) environment and cohesive families and communities. It is therefore not merely coincidental, since national policies in capitalist and non capitalist countries alike are dependent on indicators such as the GOP, that both the environment and the social

(20) structure have been eroded in recent decades. Not only does the GOP mask this erosion, it can actually portray it as an economic gain: an oil spill off a coastal region "adds to the GOP because it generates commercial activity. In short, the nation's

(25) central measure of economic well-being works like a calculating machine that adds but cannot subtract.

Questions 1-6 refer to the passage above.

1. The primary purpose of the passage is to

(A) identify ways in which the GOP could be modified so that it would serve as a more accurate indicator of the economic well-being of the United States

(B) suggest that the GOP, in spite of certain shortcomings, is still the most reliable indicator of the economic well-being of the United States

(C) examine crucial shortcomings of the GOP as an indicator of the economic well-being of the United States

(D) argue that the growth of the United States economy in recent decades has diminished the effectiveness of the GOP as an indicator of the nation's economic well-being

(E) discuss how the GOP came to be used as the primary indicator of the economic well-being of the United States

2. Which of the following best describes the function of the second sentence of the passage in the context of the passage as a whole?

(A) It describes an assumptionabout the GOP that is defended in the course of the passage.

(B) It contributes to a discussion of the origins of the GOP.

(C) It clarifies a common misconception about the use of the GOP.

(D) It identifies a major flaw in the GOP.

(E) It suggests a revision to the method of calculating the GOP.

3It can be inferred that the author of the passage would agree with which of the following about the “economic significance” of those goods and services that are included in the GDP？It is a comprehensive indicator of a nation’s economic well-being.

（A）It is not accurately captured by the price of those goods and services.

（B）It is usually less than the intrinsic value of those goods and services.

（C）It is more difficult to calculate than the economic significance of those goods and services that are not included in the GDP.

（D）It is calculated differently in capitalist countries than in noncapitalist countries.

4.The comparison of the GDP to a calculating machine serves to do which of the following?

(A) Refute an assertion that the calculations involved in the GOP are relatively complex in nature

(B) Indicate that the GOP is better suited to record certain types of monetary transactions than others

(C) Suggest that it is likely that the GOP will be supplanted by other, more sophisticated economic indicators

(D) Illustrate the point that the GOP has no way of measuring the destructive impact of such things as oil spills on the nation's economic well-being

(E) Exemplify an assertion that the GOP tends to exaggerate the amount of commercial activity generated by such things as oil spills

5. The passage implies that national policies that rely heavily on economic indicators such as the GDP tend to

(A)Become increasingly capitalistic in nature.

(B)disregard the economic importance of environmental and social factors that do not involve monetary transactions

(C)overestimate the amount of commercial activity generated ty environmental disasters

(D)overestimate the economic significance of cohesive families and communities

(E)assume that the economic significance of goods and services does not lie solely in the price of those goods and services.

6.It can be inferred that the aushor of the passage would agree with which of the following assessments of the GDP as an indicator of the economic well-being of the United States？

(A) It masks social and environmental erosion more fully than the chief economic indicators of other nations.

(B) It is based on inaccurate estimations of the prices of many goods and services.

(C) It overestimates the amount of commercial activity that is generated in the United States.

(D) It is conducive to error because it conflates distinct types of economic activity.

(E) It does not take into account the economic utility of certain environmental and social conditions.

我分出了4个shortcoming，是不是分的太细了。。。。
所以才会结构不清晰
但是我觉得最后的 in short 和前面的 shortcoing 不是一个层次的。。。。

我看了这篇文章了，我的逻辑简图是这样的：

GDP概念——解释GDP
缺点1——ignore a clean....
缺点2——......economic gain(在那句承上启下的句子的后半句)

我觉得annie你分的4个缺点貌似过细了，我觉得之所以称之为缺点是因为有态度词的出现，而在被你画出来的前两个缺点，这两个的出现貌似没有作者的态度，只是作者再用 not because .... but because ....来解释而已，我个人感觉没有带有作者的态度~

后面的in short不过是总结缺点2的~

小菜自己的想法，感觉自己的很对，但不知道对不对，请NN们帮忙看看哈~

我今天起来再好好看看~~~~~~
我觉得之所以称之为缺点是因为有态度词的出现
这句话很受用哈~~
我今天又重新看了~~
分析一遍。

个人觉得长阅读和短阅读的分析方法很不一样啊啊啊！！！
有木有NN有总结？？？

早上好哈~
你说“个人认为虽然没有严格表明作者态度，但有暗示是负态度）”你的暗示是指solely吗？还是什么？
还有，就是最后的in short，我没有太明白你的意思，为什么这里会有缺点3呢？缺点3差在了哪里？

solely 仅仅依赖于........暗示是考虑不全面的，我个人觉得这是一个暗示，当然不这么感觉也行，反正下面会直接说。
Not only（小总结缺点2，于此基础上提出缺点3） does the GOP mask this erosion, it can actually （缺点3）portray it as an economic gain，我比你们多的是
both the environment and the social structure have been eroded
真想请NN拍砖。。。。。
