点评：本篇文章摘自the Guardian(卫报)上题为“In language and action, there's a new brutalism in Westminster”的一篇评论文。George Osborne提出“前期寻找工作”方案，目的是为了提高人民生活水平，减少其对于政府失业津贴的依赖。接着分析他提出这一方案的动机及这方案的有效性，其中涉及失业者的心态和英国现有的福利政策。
本篇阅读有一定的难度，需要考生从作者的措辞和对于一些关键词的双引号准确推断出作者对于George Osborne的这一方案的态度。选项设置有一定的混淆性。

点评：本篇文章来自Economist(经济学人)，标题是America’s lawyers: Guilty as charged。从第一段的关键词lawyers和America就可大概推出此篇文章主要就是围绕美国法律界展开。作者指出存在的问题：一、法律专业学习花费过高;二、非律师者不能持有律师事务所的股份，导致费用高和公司创新缓慢;针对这些问题，提出了解决方法。文章最后呼吁美国学习其他国家，尝试律师行业自由化。
本篇难度不大，除了最后一道主旨大意题，其余都是细节题和推断题，均能从文章找到关键句。 Text 3
