For the first time in a long time, the recovery looks as if it might be starting to sputter a little bit.Everywhere you look, after all, there has been less-than-stellar news recently. Consider the fact that the economy not only added a 75,000 jobs in May — 180,000 had been expected — but also that, after the latest revisions, it turns out it added 75,000 fewer jobs than we had thought in March and April.
想想怎么出题
思考题
The word " sputter‘’ (Line 1, Para 3) most probably means______
(A) accelerate
(B) spark
(C) plummet
(D) slow down
来看看单词
01、sputter 噼里啪啦 （在这里表示“放缓”）
02、less-than-stellar 不那么好，不那么优秀，不那么如人意
03、Consider 想想，比如
04、revision 修订
05、it turns out 结果

解析
01、头一句
For the first time in a long time, the recovery looks as if it might be starting to sputter a little bit.
这是很长一段时间以来的头一次，经济复苏似乎开始出现一点小问题。
02、第二句
Everywhere you look, after all, there has been less-than-stellar news recently.
毕竟，无论你在哪里看，近期都有一些不那么好的新闻。
03、第三句
Consider the fact that the economy not only added a 75,000 jobs in May — 180,000 had been expected — but also that, after the latest revisions, it turns out it added 75,000 fewer jobs than we had thought in March and April.
想想这样一个事实：美国经济在5月不仅（只）增加了75,000个就业岗位——此前曾预期是18万人——而且，在新的修正之后，就业岗位增加了不到7.5万个，比我们在3月和4月时想象的还要少。
所以思考题：
The word " sputter‘’ (Line 1, Para 3) most probably means______
(A) accelerate
(B) spark
(C) plummet
(D) slow down
根据之后的比预期低可以知道答案是Ｃ或Ｄ
但是根据之前的搭配recovery 不能是降低吧。
只能是放缓。所以答案选D！
