  • 第3题:

    Questions 76-80 refer to the following information.
    Disagreements among economists are legendary, but not on the issue of free trade. A recent survey of prominent economists both conservative and liberal concluded that an economist who argues for restricting international trade is almost as common today as a physician who favors leeching.
    Why the International free trade, economists agree,, makes possible higher standards of living all over the globe.
    The case for free trade rests largely on this principle: as long as trade is voluntary, both partners’ benefits, otherwise they wouldn't trade. The buyer of a shirt, for example, values the shirt more than the money spend, while the seller values the money more. Both are better off because of the sale. Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether the shirt salesman is from the United States or Hong Kong (or anywhere else).
    The vast majority of American manufactures face international competition. This competition forces companies to improve quality and cut costs. By contrast, protectionism encourages monopoly, lower quality and higher prices.
    Americans pay an enormous price for protection over $60 billion a year, or $1000 for a family of four. Thanks to protectionism, for example, American consumers pay twice the world price for sugar.
    Free trade also makes the world economy more efficient, by allowing nations to capitalize on their strengths. The United States has an advantage in food production, for instance, while Saudi Arabia has an advantage in oil. The Saudis could undertake massive irrigation to become self-sufficient in food, but it is more economical for them to sell oil and purchase food from us. Similarly, we could become self-sufficient in petroleum by squeezing more out of oil shale. But it is much less costly to buy some of our oil from Saudi Arabia. Tarde between our two countries improves the standard of living in both.
    Protectionism is both wasteful and unjust. It taxes most heavily the people who can least afford it. Thus, tariffs that rise the price of shoes burden the poor more than the rich. Despite the powerful case for free trade, the United States and the rest of the world have always been protectionist to some degree. This is because free trade benefits the general public, while protectionism benefits special interest group, which are better organized, better financed and more informed. To make matters worse, much of what we hear on this issue is misinformation spread by the special interests themselves.

    According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

    A. International free trade may improve the standard of living all over the world.
    B. Economists are all in favor of the free trade policy.
    C. International free trade may create international competition.
    D. Protectionism has been abolished due to encouraging monopoly, lower quality and higher prices.

    答案:D
    解析:
    细节判断题。本题要求判断哪一个不正确。根据文章第二段可知A 项正确,“国际自由贸易可以促进全世界人们生活水平的提高”;根据第一段第一句可知B 项正确,“经济学家们都赞同自由贸易政策”;根据第四段可知C 项正确,“国际贸易促进国际竞争”;根据最后一段第四句“美国和世界上其他国家在某种程度上还经常采取贸易保护主义政策。”可知选项D(贸易保护主义已被废止)不正确。所以D 项为正确答案。

  • 第4题:

    资料:You can not go forward by going backward. Take the current debate about trade and globalization, for instance, while the impulse to erect trade barriers is understandable given the pain experienced in recent years, it is not the way to create lasting growth and shared prosperity.
    Over the past three decades, global flows of trade and investment have accelerated dramatically, creating enormous economic value. However, trade and globalization have also brought wrenching job losses. The financial crisis and weak recovery have made matters worse, intensifying the backlash against trade and globalization.
    Part of the problem is that the benefits of trade and investment go largely unrecognized, while the job losses are often overstated. Another significant problem is that participation in trade and investment is limited to a relatively small set of firms. In the U.S., large firms account for three-quarters of total exports, and the vast majority of small and medium-size businesses do not export. This means firms have a great opportunity to boost growth and productivity through wider participation in trade.
    That leaves the question of how to help those hurt by trade and globalization. Too often we talk about re-training as a panacea(万能药).And yes, it helps. But it needs to take into account the different requirements of each workforce and needs to be part of a wider set of support for affected workers and communities.
    Above all, it is important to recognize that our economic transition to a global and digital economy is an irreversible trend. Only by broadening participation in the global economy, rather than by trying to turn back the clock, will we discover answers to today’s most vexing economic problems.

    What does the author think of re-training as a solution?

    A.It is a one-size-fit-all solution.
    B.It is not helpful to those hurt by trade and globalization.
    C.It should meet the different needs of affected workforce.
    D.It should not be talked about so often.

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解和同义转换。
    【关键词】retraining
    【主题句】第4自然段 Too often we talk about re-training as a panacea. And yes, it helps.But it needs to take into account the different requirements of each workforce and needs to be part of a wider set of support for affected workers and communities.我们经常说重新培训是一种万灵药。是的,它确实有帮助。但它需要考虑到每个劳动力的不同需求,并需要成为对受影响工人和社区的更广泛支持的一部分。
    【解析】本题的问题是“作者认为重新培训是一种怎样的解决办法?”。根据主题句可知,作者认为重新培训并不是万全之策,需要考虑每种劳动力的不同需求,故选C。

  • 第13题:

    Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

    An understanding of man's effect on the balance of nature is crucial (关键的) to being able to find the appropriate remedial action. It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction. This is not true. The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature. Developing countries do have an effect on their environment, but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.

    For example, tropical forests are known to be essential to the balance of nature, yet we are destroying them at a great rate. They are being cleared not to benefit the natives of that country, but to satisfy the needs of rich countries. Central American forests are being destroyed for grassland to make pet food in the United States cheaper; in Papua slew Guinea, forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packaging for Japanese electronic products; in Burma and Thailand, forests have been destroyed to produce more attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong. Therefore, a rich person living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a poor person living in the forest itself.

    In short, it is everybody's duty to safeguard the future of mankind—not only through population control, but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature. Nature is both fragile and powerful. It is very easily destroyed; on the other hand, it can easily destroy its most dangerous enemy—man.

    31.According to the first paragraph, people usually believe that .

    A.poor people in poor countries contribute to the imbalance of nature

    B. rich people know how to protect the environment by taking actions

    C. people in poor areas know a lot about the birth control

    D. rich people in rich countries have done a lot to balance nature
