Passage 2　　Most U.S. businesses, large or small, belong to what is called the private enterprise system. (1)This means simply that firms operate in a dynamic environment where success or failure is determined by how well they match and counter the offerings of competitors. Competition is the battle among businesses for consumer acceptance. (2)Sales and profits are the yardsticks by which such acceptance is measured.　　(3)The business world has abundant examples of firms that were once successful but that failed to continue satisfying consumer demands. Competition assures that, over the long run, firms that satisfy consumer demands will be successful and those that do not will be replaced.　　The private enterprise system requires that firms continually adjust their strategies, product offerings, service standards, operating procedures, and the like. (4)Otherwise the competition will gain higher shares of an industry’s sales and profits. Consider the following cases. A & P was long the largest supermarket chain. Now Safeway is the largest, and A & P is attempting a recovery. Ford once was the dominant automaker. Today, it is second to General Motors, among domestic producers. These events suggest the dynamic environment of the private enterprise system.　　(5)Competition is a critical mechanism for guaranteeing that the private enterprise system will continue to provide the goods and services that make for high living standards and sophisticated life styles. Few organizations that offer a product or service can escape the influence of competition. The American Cancer Society competes for contributions with the American Heart Association, your own college, and other nonprofit enterprises. The armed forces compete in the labor market with private employers. Even the U.S. Postal Service faces competition. United Parcel Service competes for package shipments. Express Mail faces competition from Western Union’s mailgrams. And firms like The Mailbox, which rents post office boxes in the Seattle area, compete for the post-office-box business.

    听力原文： The most prestigious exchange in the world is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The NYSE is the first type of exchange, where much of the trading is done face-to-face on a trading floor. This is also referred to as a "listed" exchange. Orders come in through brokerage firms that are members of the exchange and flow down to floor brokers who go to a specific spot on the floor where the stock trades. At this location, known as the trading post, there is a specific person known as the "specialist" whose job is to match buyers and sellers. Prices are determined by using an auction method: the current price is the highest amount any buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price at which someone is willing to sell.

    28. Which is the most notable exchange in the world?

    Different from other stock exchange,NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place.Instead,its market makers can be found all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Since brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange,NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the-counter refers to the direct nature of the trading,as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.
    Since its foundation in 1971,the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator. As the world's first electronic stock market,NASDAQ long ago set a precedent for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled.Now poised to become the world's first truly global market,the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide.By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.

  • 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.

    Which of the following is true of the third paragraph?

    A.The participation in the trade globalization is not broad enough.
    B.Job losses are often under-estimated.
    C.Domestic firms are problematic with productivity.
    D.Globalization hinders growth of small and medium-size firms.

    答案：A
    解析：
    本题考查的是细节理解和同义转换。
    【关键词】true;the third paragraph
    【主题句】 第3自然段 Another significant problem is that participation in trade and investment is limited to a relatively small set of firms.另一个重要的问题是，贸易和投资的参与仅限于相对较小的公司。
    【解析】本题问的是“根据第三自然段，以下哪项是正确的？”选项A意为“贸易全球化的参与不够广泛”，选项B意为“失业通常被低估”，选项C意为“国内公司在生产率方面存在问题”，选项D意为“全球化限制了中小企业的发展”，根据主题句和第三段文意，A项正确。

    正确答案： 1. 简言之,这里指的是各公司在一种动态环境里运作,在其中,企业的成败取决于它与竞争对手提供的产品对抗的结果如何。
    (本句是一个主从复合句。This没有实际意义,可将This means simply译为“简言之”。where 引导的定语从句修饰environment,由于本句的定语从句较长,这里将其处理成状语,意为“在这种环境中”。为使句子意思表达明确,这里需增译“企业”。“a dynamic environment”表示“动态环境”,“be determined by”的意思是“取决于”。“how well”引导名词从句作宾语。)
    2. 销售额和利润是对这一接受程度做出评估的衡量标准。
    (本句是一个简单句,为主系表结构。介词+which引导定语从句修饰表语yardstick,翻译时根据汉语习惯,将定语前置。“be measured by”表示“由…评估”。yardstick原是“尺码”的意思,这里根据具体应用环境将其译为“衡量(或评价)标准”。)
    3. 生意兴隆一时,其后却不能继续跟上消费者需求的步伐,这类事例在商界比比皆是。
    (句中that引导的定语从句修饰firms,两个that引导的从句由but连接表转折。由于本句的定语较长,因此采用分译法,翻译时先译出定语从句部分的内容,最后说明主体。“fail to”表示“未能…”。“continue doing”的意思是“继续跟上”。)
    4. 否则,竞争成本将会在企业销售额和利润中占据更高份额。
    (Otherwise表示对上文内容的转折。higher作形容词比较级表示“更高”的意思。“an industry’s sales and profits”译为“企业销售额和利润”。此处需增译“成本”,以便和后面的sales和profits表述一致。)
    5. 为了确保私人企业制继续为促进生活水平的提高和生活方式的优化提供商品和服务,竞争是一项必不可少的手段。
    (本句结构较复杂,句子主干是Competition is a critical mechanism。其中第一个that是引导宾语从句,第二个that引导定语从句修饰the goods and services。“for guaranteeing”介词短语可理解为目的状语,说明竞争的作用,根据汉语习惯,翻译时应将状语提前。“make for”表示“有利于,促进”。)

There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they handle things badly.　　But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to public belief, it is not just a free competition system. The private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.

    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 of the following is the best description of the author’s attitude toward trade and globalization?

    A.Critical
    B.Doubtful
    C.Indifferent
    D.Approving

    答案：D
    解析：
    本题考查的是细节理解和同义转换。
    【关键词】author’s attitude

    问答题
    Practice 5　　Many companies get into exporting almost by happenstance: most export sales are simply a spin-off from domestic contracts.  Similarly, most agent and distributor relationships are born from random inquiries or chance meetings at trade shows. When asked-how they obtained their international representation, many companies have no recollection whatsoever of how or why the relationship began. Strange as it may seem, the same is true of joint venture relationships.　　With the growing use of the Internet, one could be fooled into thinking the odds of success in finding that elusive, top-performing trade partner will be increased. The key is to remember at all times that promotional materials are not stand-alone, clean “information”. The Internet can be used to provide indicators of activity and reach; however, these benefits in no way eliminate the more conventional, strategic wisdom that highly successful international sales organizations, in one way or another, employ.　　Surprisingly, this hit-and-miss approach to international expansion is not exclusive to small-and medium-sized companies. Many well-recognized large companies spin the same wheel of chance.  Experienced international executives and substantial budgets for foreign expansion will contribute to success, given the right opportunities. The problem is that the “right opportunities” are rarely “given.”

    正确答案： 【参考译文】
    许多公司开展出口业务几乎纯属偶然:大部分出口销售业务只是从国内业务中剥离出去的一小部分。类似的情况是,大多数公司与代理商和分销商的关系也来源于随机的查询或是贸易展会上的偶然相遇。当被问及如何获得国际代理时,许多公司竟然回忆不出其代理关系的来龙去脉。这似乎有些奇怪,可实际情况是,就连桌些合资伙伴关系的建立也是如此。
    随着国际互联网的不断普及,人们可能会产生错觉,误认为寻找那些难以寻觅的最佳贸易伙伴的几率将会增加。可关键的一点是,人们必须随时记住,那些公司宣传材料不可能是只为你寻找合作伙伴而准备的专项“信息”。国际互联网可以提供一些有关公司经营范围及联系方式的线索,但互联网带来的这些好处都无法代替人们的传统智慧和战略思维,一些在国际销售方面业绩非凡的企业就是以此走向成功的。
    令人惊讶的是,这种盲目出击开拓国际市场的做法不仅存在于中小型企业,就连许多知名大公司的做法也如出一辙,仅仅依赖运气。国际大公司有着经验丰富的业务主管,在开拓海外市场方面资金预算雄厚,如果加上适当的机会,可能会取得成功。但问题是,“适当的机会”很少“从天而降”。
