(本题出自2024年6月四级真题卷一)
答案&解析:
40.题干译文许多经济学家认为,人们对物质的渴望阻碍了他们享受更多的闲暇时间。答案解析D。由题干关键信息Many economists、people's thirst for material things和leisure time定位到D段。D段前三句提到,在一篇新论文中,弗里德曼试图了解为什么产值的提升并未转化为更多的休闲时间。可能是人们永远不会在物质上感到满足,总想要更多的钱去买下一样新东西。这种理论也吸引了很多经济学家。题干是对这三句的概括,其中people's thirst for material things对应原文中的people just never feelmaterially satisfied,assume对应原文中的figure out why,has prevented them from enjoying more leisure time对应原文中的has not translated into increased leisure time,many economists是原词复现,故答案为D。
