【答案解析】
31. 細節題
根據題干的定位信息可以定位到第一段第一句，從原句“Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile.”中可以看出Kennedy 對于GDP是持有否定態(tài)度的。從下文也可以看出作者也認為GDP有許多缺點(diǎn)，所以作者引用Kennedy 來(lái)使文章更具有說(shuō)服力。故D選項為正確選項。
32.推斷題
本題是段落推斷題，題干中指明了段落，需要進(jìn)行推斷得出答案，第二段原文“By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects? ”中，作者首先表示英國的GDP被許多西方世界羨慕，然后作者反問(wèn)如果英國現狀真如英國的GDP反映的那么的好，為什么還會(huì )有多達1700萬(wàn)的民眾都投票要脫歐呢。由此可見(jiàn)英國民眾認為GDP好并不代表英國社會(huì )現狀真的好。故選項C為答案。
33.細節題
根據題干信息和關(guān)鍵詞 annual study 可以定位到第三段第一句“A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. ”，其中D選項的enlightening 與sheds some light on that question同義替換。故D選項為正確選項。
34.細節題
從最后一段的原句“So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes – all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being.” 可以看出GDP 不再夠用了，它沒(méi)有包含重要的因素“it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as ...”。C選項中it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP正好是該句的完美改寫(xiě)。因此C選項是正確選項。
35.主旨題
本體是主旨題，需要通過(guò)全篇來(lái)選答案，這篇文章在開(kāi)頭引用了Kennedy對于GDP的負面評價(jià)，并通過(guò)英國脫鉤這個(gè)案例來(lái)引出需要考慮GDP這個(gè)評價(jià)機制的好壞，中間各段在分析英國GDP表現好，但實(shí)際英國社會(huì )現狀卻不好，最后在倒數第二自然段指出This is a lesson that rich countries can learn. 故A選項是正確選項。
