答案But America has a way of taking a good idea，mass—producing it to the point of profound mediocrity，then losing our sense of where the idea comes from
解析 这句话难度大，不仅句子较长，有28个单词，而且也有两三个较难的单词，比如mass-producing，profound，mediocrity等，所以考生对单词要有较高的熟悉度。这三个较难的单词中，最难的是mediocrity，意为“平庸”。该句需要用速记法，速记结果如下：But Ame has tak idea，mass-produce point pro medio，lose sen of wh ide corn from。考生要及时补全句子内容。
