Passage 1
Earlier this year, when America first sneezed, the European Central Bank （along with most private-sector economists） argued that the euro area was insulated from America's slowdown and had little to worry about. This seems to have wrong. In Germany there are fears about recession as business investment and retail sales tumble. Recent figures confirmed that Germany’s GDP stagnated in the second quarter. Italy's GDP fell in the second quarter, and although growth has held up better in France and Spain, the growth in the euro area as a whole was close to zero in the quarter. Nobody is forecasting an actual recession in the euro area this year, but it is no longer expected to provide an engine for world growth.
As for Japan, it is probably already in recession. Japan's GDP grew slightly in the first quarter. Persistent deflation continues to be a severe problem. A revised measure of Japan’s consumer-price index, to be published soon, is likely to show that deflation is worse than had been thought.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Japan’s economy?A. It is perhaps already in decline.
B. Japan`s GDP grew slightly in the first quarter.
C. Deflation continues to be a severe problem.
D. t is worse than that of US and European.答案：D解析： -

资料：Large industrialized are now in a recession. What are the prospects for economic recovery?
The three most important industrial economies in the world are, at the moment, facing enormous problems. Germany is struggling with the cost of reunification and is in recession. Japan is also experiencing recession and the United States has a large budget deficit.
Forecasters and analysts face questions about the prospects of an economic recovery. Here are some of their findings:
The election of a new president of the United States gave hope to the rest of the world. If the US recovered, the rest of the world would face a more promising future. However, analysts now accept that the US will only recover very slowly.
Consumer and investor confidence is still lacking. Large deficits and declining short-term interest rates mean there is little scope for economic stimulus.
The Japanese economy, after years of trade and budget surpluses, is in deep recession and the growth rate has slowed down considerably. German economists have lowered their forecasts for economic growth this year. The lowering of German interest rates may bring some relief to other members of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism （ERM）. However, Germany's importance as Europe's largest export market may decline.
However, in some parts of the world, there are more positive signs, particularly in some Latin American countries in South-East Asia. Analysts says that, as long as the rate of interest stays above the rate of growth at national income, then the ratio of debt to income will get worse. Falling interest rates help towards overcoming this problem. They believe it may take several years before there is real recovery. However, advances in technology are offering hope for the world economy.
The important industrial economies mentioned in the passage are _____.A.Latin American countries and in South-East Asia
B.German, Japan and China
C.German, Japan and United States

BThe American economy has rebounded.
CJapan’s economy has not bottomed out yet.
DThe performance of many economies in Latin America is less than expected.
正确答案： B解析：
从录音中提到的“Not only has the American economy rebounded…”，可知美国经济反弹了，即开始发展，因此选B。
【录音原文】
Stockmarkets are sliding again; the gold price this week hit a seven-year high of $400 an ounce; and the dollar slumped to a new low against the euro. “So what’s new?” you might ask: the world economy clearly remains fragile. What is new, however, is the recent batch of better-than-expected figures on economic growth around the globe. Not only has the American economy rebounded, but Japan and the euro area are also now growing again, albeit more slowly. The news from some emerging economies is even more bullish. Many economies in Asia and Latin America enjoyed their fastest growth for years in the third quarter. Adding it all together, the world economy as a whole probably enjoyed its fastest growth for two decades. So why are the financial markets showing lack of confidence? -

第14题：
资料：Economic performance is improving in most of the world's leading economies but is still short of a self-sustaining upswing, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said on Wednesday.
In an update to its economic forecasts, the Paris-based international organisation representing advanced economies said that more private sector investment was needed for the expansion to endure, for wages to rise sustainability and for inequalities to be tackled.
Although all leading economies are now recording positive growth, Catherine Mann, the OECD's chief economist, urged governments to “curb your enthusiasm [ because] strong and sustained medium-term global growth is not yet secured”.
The OECD's economic outlook shows upgrades to the 2017 growth forecasts in China, Russia and Europe excluding the UK with the world outlook also appearing stronger in 2018.
World growth should rise from a low of 3.1 per cent in 2016, to 3.5 per cent this year and 3.7 per cent in 2018, the OECD forecast, with the US, the Eurozone, Brazil and Russia contributing most to the improved global outlook.
China's predicted growth rate of 6.8 per cent in 2017 and 6.6 per cent in 2018 has been revised higher by 0.2 percentage points in both years and although India's growth rate has been revised down, reflecting adjustment to its new goods and services tax, it is likely to remain the fastest growing large economy in the world.
Only the UK, which remains embroiled in Brexit negotiations, has a deteriorating outlook. Responding to the OECD's forecast that the British economy will be the slowest growing in the Group of Seven in 2018 having been near the top of the league table in 2016, the British Treasury said it was not complacent.
According to the passage,which one of the following statement is true？A.The Russia’s 2017 economic growth forecast has been revised higher.
B.The leading economies have achieved sustainable long-term growth.
C.The OECD is not optimistic about China's economic growth.
D.India's economic growth forecast have been upgraded.答案：A解析：本题考查细节理解。
【关键词】 which one of the following statement is true
【主题句】第3、4、6自然段.Although all leading economies are now recording positive growth, Catherine Mann, the OECD’s chief economist, urged governments to “curb your enthusiasm [ because] strong and sustained medium-term global growth is not yet secured”.尽管所有主要经济体如今都记录的正增长，但经合组织首席经济学家凯瑟琳?曼（Catherine Mann）敦促各国政府“抑制激情，（因为）强劲且持续的中期全球增长尚未得到保障”。
The OECD’s economic outlook shows upgrades to the 2017 growth forecasts in China, Russia and Europe excluding the UK with the world outlook also appearing stronger in 2018.经合组织在经济展望中，上调了对中国、俄罗斯和欧洲（除英国外）2017年的增长预测，2018年的全球经济前景似乎也更加强劲。
China’s predicted growth rate of 6.8 per cent in 2017 and 6.6 per cent in 2018 has been revised higher by 0.2 percentage points in both years and although India’s growth rate has been revised down, reflecting adjustment to its new goods and services tax, it is likely to remain the fastest growing large economy in the world.中国在2017年和2018年的预期增速分别达到和，分别被上调0.2个百分点。虽然印度的增长率遭到下调（反映根据该国新的商品及服务税作出的调整），但印度很可能仍是全球增长最快的大型经济体。
【解析】题干意为“下列哪一项是正确的？选项A意为“俄罗斯2017年经济增长预测被上调”；选项B意为“发达经济体已经获得长期可持续增长”；选项C 意为“经合组织对中国经济增长不乐观”；选项D意为“印度经济增长被上调”。根据主题句可知，选项B、C、D与题意不符，故选项A正确。 -
