针对考研英语阅读，其重要性对于考研英语乃至整个考研是不言而喻的。因此，各位同学一定要予以重视。为了帮助大家更好地复习，文都教育考研英语老师为各位同学梳理一下历年真题阅读文章中涉及的要点，包括词汇、短语、长难句以及简单的阅读方法。接下来看一下2015年Text 4，这篇文章主要探讨了美国的就业情况。
Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.
talk of“谈及”；the Labor Department“劳动部”；along with“以及”；drop“下降”；unemployment rate“失业率”；it appears...“似乎”；at a decent pace“以适度的步伐”；full employment“充分就业”；at least“至少”；move forward“向前发展”。
However there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000 (4.4 percent) above its year ago level.
jobs picture“工作图景”或者“就业状况”；overlook“忽视”；a big jump“大幅度增加”；voluntarily“自愿地”。由There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time.可知，36. Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?选The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.figure“数字”，图表作文涉及数据描述，数据可以用figures，data或statistics。
Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.
connection“关系”；be worth doing“值得做某事”；make an important distinction“做出重要的区分”；actually“事实上”；part-time jobs“兼职工作”；full-time jobs“全职工作”。由They take part-time work because this is all they can get.可知，37. Many people work part-time because they_______.选cannot get their hands on full-time jobs。an increase in involuntary part-time work“非自愿的兼职工作的增加”；evidence“证明”；weakness“弱点”；labor market“劳动力市场”；have a hard time doing“做...不容易”；make ends meet“收支相抵”。
以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2015年Text 4前三段的要点。时钟滴答滴答从不停歇，考研迫在眉睫。一直在努力的各位同学一定要坚持到底哦，坚持就是胜利！之前不够努力的同学也不要气馁。“临阵磨枪，不快也光。”现在行动起来，简单高效，认真复习，也是有机会的。
