今天小编来给大家分享一下那些考研英语中比较容易考到的语句，一起来看看吧。
　　For the first time in a long time, the recovery looks as if it might be starting to sputter a little bit.Everywhere you look, after all, there has been less-than-stellar news recently. Consider the fact that the economy not only added a 75,000 jobs in May — 180,000 had been expected — but also that, after the latest revisions, it turns out it added 75,000 fewer jobs than we had thought in March and April.
　　想想怎么出题
　　思考题
　　The word " sputter‘’ (Line 1, Para 3) most probably means______
　　(A) accelerate
　　(B) spark
　　(C) plummet
　　(D) slow down
　　来看看单词
　　01、sputter 噼里啪啦 （在这里表示“放缓”）
　　02、less-than-stellar 不那么好，不那么优秀，不那么如人意
　　03、Consider 想想，比如
　　04、revision 修订
　　05、it turns out 结果
　　解析
　　01、头一句
　　For the first time in a long time, the recovery looks as if it might be starting to sputter a little bit.
　　这是很长一段时间以来的头一次，经济复苏似乎开始出现一点小问题。
　　02、第二句
　　Everywhere you look, after all, there has been less-than-stellar news recently.
　　毕竟，无论你在哪里看，近期都有一些不那么好的新闻。
　　03、第三句
　　Consider the fact that the economy not only added a 75,000 jobs in May — 180,000 had been expected — but also that, after the latest revisions, it turns out it added 75,000 fewer jobs than we had thought in March and April.
　　想想这样一个事实：美国经济在5月不仅（只）增加了75,000个就业岗位——此前曾预期是18万人——而且，在新的修正之后，就业岗位增加了不到7.5万个，比我们在3月和4月时想象的还要少。
　　所以思考题：
　　The word " sputter‘’ (Line 1, Para 3) most probably means______
　　(A) accelerate
　　(B) spark
　　(C) plummet
　　(D) slow down
　　根据之后的比预期低可以知道答案是Ｃ或Ｄ
　　但是根据之前的搭配recovery 不能是降低吧。
　　只能是放缓。所以答案选D！
