Is There a Way to Keep the Britain's Economy Growing
In today's knowledge economy,nations survive on the things they do best. The Japanese design electronics while Germens export engineering techniques.The French serve the best food and Americans make computers.
Britain specializes in the gift of talking.The nation doesn't manufacture much of anything.
But it has lawyers,stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk,talk and more talk. The World Foundation think tank says the UK's four iconic（标志性的）jobs today are not scientists,engineers,teachers and nurses.Instead,they're hairdressers,celebrities,management consultants and managers .But can all this talking keep the British economy going?The
British government thinks it can.
Although the country's trade deficit was more than￡60 billion in 2006,UK's largest in the postwar period,officials say the country has nothing to worry about.In fact,Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical（制药的）industry , and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad. It also trades services-accountancy,insurance, banking and advertising.The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.After all,the country of
Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a literary tradition of which to be proud,Rock“n”roll is an
English language medium,and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands.In other words,the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.
However,creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK's exports of goods and services .The industries are finding it hard to make a profit,according to a report of the National
Endowment for Science,Technology and the Arts .The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in“innovation activities”,3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany(61 percent)and Sweden(47 percent).
In fact,it might be better to call Britain a“servant”economy-there are at least 4 million people“in service”.The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook,clean,and take care of their children.Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree.Most employment growth has been,and will continue to be,at the low-skill end of the service sector-in shops,bars,hotels,domestic service and in nursing and care homes.The officials are not worried about the trade deficit in 2006,because they believe_______.
A: Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy
B: the literary tradition of Britain will help make billions of pounds
C: Britain is home to the largest pharmaceutical industry in the world
D: the world economy is strong enough to carry the Britain economy答案：A解析：由第二段第四、五句“The World Foundation think tank says the UK's four iconic（标志性的）jobs today are not scientists, engineers, teachers and nurses. Instead, they're hairdressers, celebrities, management consultants and managers.”可知如今英国的四大标志性的职业不是科学家、工程师、教师和护士，而是发型师、名流显要、管理顾问和商业经理。四个选项中只有C（商业顾问）符合题意，故选C。
由第三段第四句“The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowl-edge economy.”可知英国政府认为英国有着最先进的知识经济。由此不难推出，“the cutting edge”的意思是“最先进的”，故选D。
题干中的“they”指的是前一分句中的官方“ officials”。由第三段第四句“The gov-ernment believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.”可知，官方认为英国正处于知识经济的前沿，所以不担心2006年的贸易赤字。故选A。
由第四段最后一句中的“only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in‘innova-tion activities' ,3 percentage points below the EU average”可知，英国只有38％的企业在进行有关创新的工作，比欧盟的平均水平要低三个百分点。由此推断，英国的创新工作没有欧洲其他国家做得好。故选D。
由第二段最后两句“But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can.”可以推断，英国政府在经济上过于自信了。故选C。 -

问答题Practice 6 In the course of our history, only a handful of generations have been asked to confront challenges as serious as the ones we face right now. But despite all of this—despite the enormity of the task that lies ahead—I stand here today as hopeful as ever that the United States of America will endure, that it will prevail, that the dream of our founders will live on in our time. It is this thread that binds us together in common effort; that runs through every memorial on this mall; that connects us to all those who struggled and sacrificed and stood here before. It is how this nation has overcome the greatest differences and the longest odds—because there is no obstacle that can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change. There is no doubt that our road will be long, that our climb will be steep. But never forget that the true character of our nation is revealed not during times of comfort and ease, but by the right we do when the moment is hard. I ask you to help reveal that character once more, and together, we can carry forward as one nation, and one people, the legacy of our forefathers that we celebrate today. (We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial)正确答案： 【参考译文】
在我们的历史上,只有少数几代人被要求面对如此前所未有的严重挑战。即使那样,即使挡在我们面前的考验是如此的艰巨。我今天仍然是比任何时候都更满怀希望地站在这里,相信着美利坚合众国能够排除万难,重新崛起,开国先驱的梦想在我们心中永不磨灭。
是这场危机使我们团结到一起共同努力,在这个广场留下值得纪念的此刻,把我们和之前为这个国家抗争与牺牲的人们联系到了一起。
这就是这个国家如何得以跨越最大的差别与最远的距离,因为没有任何障碍,可以阻挡得了数以万计要求改变的呼声。毫无疑问,道路将会艰险而曲折,攀登的历程将会崎岖而陡峭。但永远不要忘记显示国家本质的魅力不会是在一帆风顺的时候,而正是在排除万难之后。我请求你们再次共同使这个国家彰显出她本质的魅力,连同我们祖先遗留下来的精神,作为一个国家,一个整体,一起庆祝。解析： 暂无解析 -
第8题：
问答题The effect of governmental expenditures on the total economy varies with both the level of utilization of labor and capital in the economy at the time of the expenditure, and the segment of the economy which receives the expenditure. If the economy as a whole or the segment of the economy which is the focus of the expenditure is operating at capacity or close to capacity, then the expenditure’s major effects will tend to be inflationary, and will not generate much employment of capital and labor. If the economy or sector is operating at much less than full employment, the expenditure will produce a genuine (non-inflationary) rise in the GNP.正确答案：
政府投资对于整个经济的影响作用,受到以下两个因素的制约。第一,政府投资之时劳动力和资本的利用情况;第二,接受投资的经济部分。如果整个经济或接受主要投资的经济部分充分或接近充分发挥效能,那么政府投资的效力不会很大,所以资本和劳动力也不会得到充分利用。而如果经济潜能并未充分发挥,政府投资则会真正促进GNP的增长。解析： 暂无解析 -

第12题：
问答题Practice 4 America’s singular approach to international affairs did not develop all at once, or as the consequence of a solitary inspiration. In the early years of the Republic, American foreign policy was in fact a sophisticated reflection of the American national interest, which was, simply, to fortify the hew nation’s independence. Since no European country was capable of posing an actual threat so long as it had to contend with rivals, the Founding Fathers showed themselves quite ready to manipulate the despised balance of power when it suited their needs indeed, they could be extraordinarily skillful at maneuvering between France and Great Britain not only to preserve America’s independence but to enlarge its frontiers. Because they really wanted neither side to win a decisive victory in the wars of the French Revolution, they declared neutrality. Jefferson defined the Napoleonic Wars as a contest between the tyrant on the land (France) and the tyrant of the ocean (England) —in other words, the parties in the European struggle were morally equivalent. Practicing an early form of nonalignment, the new nation discovered the benefit of neutrality as a bargaining tool, just as many an emerging nation has since.正确答案： 【参考译文】
立国之初,美国的外交政策实质上错综复杂地折射出了美国的国家利益,即,一言以蔽之,强化这一新兴国家的独立。既然任何一个欧洲国家,只要它不得不与其对手们展开竞争,就不足以构成一种实际威胁,故美利坚共和国的奠基者们表现得十分愿意去利用受人鄙视的均势,因为均势确实能顺应他们的需要。他们极其擅长于在英法之间挑拨离间,不仅仅得以维护美国的独立,而且得以拓展其疆域。因为他们并不真正希望任何一方在法国大革命的战争中赢得决定性的胜利,他们便宣布中立。杰斐逊总统将拿破仑战争定义为陆地霸主(法国)和海洋霸主(英国)之间的一场搏杀——换言之,这场欧洲争斗中的双方在道德层面上实乃一丘之貉。通过推行一种早期的不结盟政策,美国这个新兴国家尝到了中立作为一种讨价还价的工具的甜头,正如自此以后,许多崛起中的国家大多乐此不倦那样。解析： 暂无解析 -
