下面以四級(jí)閱讀真題為例，運(yùn)用鏡像蒙太奇法快速選出正確答案。

　　通過(guò)觀察幾個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞“well-fed”“almost fully employed people”，我們得出結(jié)論： 這篇文章的主題是“1952年之后美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的繁榮”。

　　那么第二段應(yīng)該從細(xì)節(jié)初描述經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮的表現(xiàn)，在這里有一個(gè)詞要特別注意“economic survey”就相當(dāng)于第一課中的“investigation”. 那么現(xiàn)在需要做的僅僅就是以句號(hào)為單位勾劃每句話的主語(yǔ)了。

　　The economy of the United states after 1952 was the economy of a well-fed, almost fully employed people. Despite occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom.

　　An economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was value at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War 2. The country’s business spent about 30billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day ,or about twenty-five million dollars every hour , all round the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room. To some observers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920’s . As farmer’s share of their products declined , marketing costs rose. But there were , among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority . Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the opposite-depression.
