本来想申请置顶的，但是还是想等到嫦娥顺利登月了之后再把嫦娥的帖子换下来，让大家的祝福一直伴着嫦娥到最后吧~
所以就只能这样置顶了，海豚祈祷依然有很多人来参加活动哦
海豚知道也许很多人都已经做过这个真题了，那么可以不做选择题，但是海豚挑出来的2个长难句还是希望大家分析一下结构，翻译一下哦~ 不要忘了我们的主旨就是研究真题，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……
节选自：2004 第三篇阅读，由于此篇文章联系较紧，所以能单独拿出来考大家的只要一题，大家不要嫌少哦

1、 （如果您的阅读习惯是没有这一步的，可以直接跳到下一步哦）
先看题目，题目的主要部分，也就是一会儿我们在看文章的时候要注意哪些内容，海豚已经用绿色表示出来了：
51. By "Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet" (line 1, paragraph 1), the author means ________.
要找到文中对应的具体位置，再分析的，所以，去看原文吧~
[fly]![]() [/fly]
2、现在是原文，大家回忆一下刚才看过的题干给我们的提示哦，一会儿要留意。
呵呵，不知道字体够不够大？
| When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. "I'm a good economic indicator," she says, "I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars." So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard's department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. "I don't know if other clients are going to abandon me, too," she says. |
51. By "Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet" (line 1, paragraph 1), the author means ________.
[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business
[B) Spero is too much engaged in her work
[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit
[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation
