Example
The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen, striving to make profits, produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes， that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.
An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller-producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand, the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system.
The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individual are allowed to own productive resources (private property), and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy, the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.
這篇文章中的關(guān)鍵短語是American economic system，在文中多次反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，剛好它就是全文的寫作對象。抓住了這個關(guān)鍵信息再加上“路標(biāo)”詞，文章的結(jié)構(gòu)一目了然。
文章首句提出了含有寫作對象的主題，即美國經(jīng)濟體制的特點是通過私有企業(yè)和市場導(dǎo)向起調(diào)節(jié)作用。末句thus后面是對主題的進一步闡釋，分析和指出消費者的需求、企業(yè)家對最大利潤的追求和個人對收入取得最大收益的渴望，共同決定著生產(chǎn)什么以及如何使用資源進行生產(chǎn)。第二段說明市場導(dǎo)向型經(jīng)濟的重要特點之一是價格機制。第三段說明私營經(jīng)濟的性質(zhì)和特點是財產(chǎn)私有和同時擁有相關(guān)權(quán)利。
（6)讀“路標(biāo)”詞。在閱讀理解中有部分“虛詞”比“實詞”更重要，它們就是一些表示作者思路的過渡詞、短語或句子，有利于作者思想的銜接和轉(zhuǎn)折。抓住它們，考生就能夠?qū)θ牡慕Y(jié)構(gòu)一目了然，就不會出現(xiàn)“詞都認識，就是不知道全文在講什么”的情況醫(yī)學(xué).全在線
gydjdsj.org.cn。它們就是在閱讀行進過程中起指示作用的“路標(biāo)”，隨時提醒考生將要讀到什么。
“路標(biāo)”詞按照功能可以分為：
①前進型。這一類詞和詞組起的是順接、遞進作用，指示讀者繼續(xù)往下看，其前后可能存在并列、遞進、因果、解釋等關(guān)系，往往接下來的可能是作者要強調(diào)的重要內(nèi)容。
如：and, also, more, moreover, more than that, furthermore, likewise, equally important, first, second, in addition to, thus, so, therefore, consequently, accordingly, as a result 等。
②轉(zhuǎn)彎型。這一類標(biāo)志著前后兩個句子或段落之間的轉(zhuǎn)折或?qū)Ρ汝P(guān)系，讀者要敏感地意識到后面出現(xiàn)的是與前面截然不同的事物或觀點，從而對作者的思想進行預(yù)測。
如：but, yet, while, however, nevertheless, although, though, otherwise, despite, instead, on the contrary, in contrast, notwithstanding等。
③終點型。這一類標(biāo)志著下面的內(nèi)容是對前面的概括和總結(jié)。
如：to conclude, to sum up, in sum, in conclusion, in short, in brief, on the whole等。
④其他。表示空間位置（near, far, beside, next to, above, on the side of, across, behind)、目的(for this purpose, so that, in order to)、強調(diào)(indeed, in fact, surely, certainly, to be sure, I am certain)、舉例(for example, for instance, in particular)、條件(in that case, that being so, in these circumstance, if, unless)等。
閱讀水平的提高，更多地要靠在實際閱讀的積累中得到的體會和感悟。只要同學(xué)們在掌握一定閱讀技巧的基礎(chǔ)上把歷年真題做熟、做精，相信一定能考出理想的成績！
