Citing the fact that the real gross
domestic product (GDP) per capita was
higher in 1997 than ever before, some
Line journalists have argued that the United
(5) States economy performed ideally in
1997. However, the real GDP is almost
always higher than ever before; it falls
only during recessions. One point
these journalists overlooked is that in
(10) 1997, as in the twenty-four years imme-
diately preceding(在前的) it, the real GDP per
capita grew nearly one-half percent a
year more slowly than it had on aver- 36
37
age between 1873 and 1973.
Were the
(15) 1997 economy as robust as claimed,
the growth rate of real GDP per capita
in 1997 would have surpassed the
average growth rate of real GDP per
capita between 1873 and 1973 because
(20) over fifty percent of the population
worked for wages in 1997 whereas
only forty percent worked for wages
between 1873 and 1973. If the growth
rate of labor productivity (output per
(25) hour of goods and services) in 1997
had equaled its average growth rate
between 1873 and 1973 of more than
two percent, then, given the proportion-
ately larger workforce that existed in
(30) 1997, real GDP per capita in 1997 would
have been higher than it actually was,
since output is a major factor in GDP.
However, because labor productivity
grew by only one percent in 1997, real
(35) GDP per capita grew more slowly in
1997 than it had on average between
1873 and 1973.

Q36:
According to the passage, which of the following is true of the average rate at which real GDP per capita grew in the twenty-four years immediately before 1997?
A. It was less than it had been between 1873 and 1973 because only forty percent of the population worked for wages between 1873 and 1973.
B.It was less than it had been between 1873 and 1973 because labor productivity grew less between 1973 and 1997 than it had between 1873 and 1973.
C. It was less than it had been between 1873 and 1973 as a result of an increase in the percentage of the population earning wages during these years.
D. It was less than the average rate at which real GDP per capita grew between 1873 and 1973.
E. It was less than the rate at which real GDP per capita grew in 1997.
Answer: d

Q37:
It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is the reason that the author faults the journalists referred to in line 4?
A. They believe that the real GDP per capita in 1997 was higher than the real GDP per capita had ever been before.
B. They argue that the rate at which real GDP per capita grew in 1997 was faster than the average rate at which it had grown between 1873 and 1973.
C. They overestimate the effect of labor productivity on the real GDP per capita in 1997.
D. They overestimate the amount by which real GDP per capita in 1997 surpassed real GDP per capita in earlier years.
E. They fail to consider the real GDP per capita in 1997 within an appropriate historical context.
Answer: e
参考定义:
名义的GDP和实际的GDP
1) 名义的GDP(Nominal GDP)
以一定时期市场价格表示的国内生产总值,称作该时期的名义的GDP。
2) 实际的GDP(Real GDP)
以某一年作为基年的价格表示的国内生产总值,称作该时期的实际的GDP。
全文翻译
引用1997年人均国内生产总值(GDP)高于往年的数据,所以一些记者认为1997年美国经济运行十分理想。然而,实际GDP基本上是一直比往年高的,它只有在经济衰退的时候才下降。其中一点是这些记者们忽略了1997年之前的24年间,每年人均实际GDP的增长非常缓慢,仅接近1873-1973年平均实际GDP的一半。如果1997年的美国经济真的是像宣称的那么强,那么1997年的美国人均实际GDP的增长率就会超越1873-1973年,因为1997年有超过50%的人为薪水工作,而1873-1973年只有40%。如果1997年的劳动生产率(每小时货物和服务的劳动生产)的增长速度等于1873-1973年间劳动成产率的平均的增长速度再加上2个百分点,那么,1997年那些超过比例的劳动力,实际人均GDP要比真实水平高,既然劳动生产是GDP的主要因子。可是,因为1997年劳动生产率仅增加了一个百分点,所以1997年实际人均GDP的增长要比1873-1973年间平均人均GDP的增长缓慢许多。
