22、、BSection Readi(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、BPassage One/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Americas economic recovery remains uncomfortably weak. The latest data show industrial production falling while the trade deficit soars to record levels. To round off a dismal week for economic statistics, the Fed (美联储) announced that ind
23、ustrial production fell by 0.2% in December compared with the previous month. That came as a disappointment to economists who had been expecting a small rise. Monthly data are always unreliable, of course; there is always a plausible explanation for unexpectedly bad (or good) news. But nearly all re
24、cent economic statistics point to the same conclusion-that Americas recovery remains sluggish and erratic. It could put pressure on the Fed to consider cutting interest rates again when its policymaking committee meets at the end of the month.The biggest obstacle to healthier economic performance, t
25、hough, is political. As the Feds chairman, Alan Greenspan, acknowledged in the closing months of 2002, uncertainty about the future is holding both investors and consumers back. The shadowy threat of international terrorism and the much more explicit prospect of a war with Iraq have made many Americ
26、ans nervous about the future. For businesses still reeling from the speed at which the late-1990s boom turned to slump, the political climate is one more reason to put off investing in new plant and equipment or hiring new staff. For consumers, for so long the mainstay of the American economy, the t
27、hrill of the shopping mall seems, finally, to be on the wane.It is hard to put a favorable interpretation on most of the data. But it is important to keep a sense of perspective. Some recent figures look disappointing partly because they fall short of over-optimistic forecasts - a persistent weaknes
28、s of those paid to predict the economic future, no matter how often they are proved wrong. The Fed will be watching carefully for further signs of weakness during the rest of the month. Mr. Greenspan is an avid, even obsessive, consumer of economic data. He has made it clear that the Fed stands read
29、y to reduce interest rates again if it judges it necessary-even after 12 cuts in the past two years. At its last meeting, though, when it kept rates on hold, the Fed signaled that it did not expect to need to reduce rates any further.Monetary policy still offers the best short-term policy response t
30、o weak economic activity, and with inflation low the Fed still has scope for further relaxation. President Bushs much-vaunted fiscal stimulus is unlikely to provide appropriate help, and certainly not in a timely way.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following best describes the Americas economic situation
31、? A. It is recovering. B. It faces an uncertain future. C. It remains depressing. D. It shows unreliable signs.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the figure 0.2% in Paragraph 1 indicate? A. Americas economic recovery is still shaky. B. Economists are disappointed at the future economy. C. It is a bad si
32、gn for Americas economic recovery. D. The biggest obstacle to healthier economic performance is political.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What factor makes investors put off investing in new plant and equipment? A. The sluggish economic situation. B. The direct threat of international terrorism. C. The possibi
33、lity of a war with Iraq. D. Investors shortage of capital.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What is the authors attitude toward some recent figures mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. Optimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Worrisome. D. Critical.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).How does monetary policy offer help for weak economic activity?
34、 A. It can stimulate investment in new plant and equipment. B. It can reduce interest rates so as to stimulate weak economic activity. C. The Fed tries to keep inflation low. D. President Bush can offer appropriate monetary policy.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、BPassage Two/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The Africans interes
35、t is to guard preferential export rules enshrined in the temporary African Growth and Opportunity Act, passed by Congress in 2,000. Tariff-free exports of some 6,000 goods from Africa to the United States are boosting trade and investment in southern Africa. Lesothos fast-growing textile industry de
36、pends almost entirely on Chinese investment in factories to make clothes for sale in the United States. The region also wants more access to Americas markets for fruit, beef and other agricultural goods.American interest lies mainly in South Africa, by far the largest economy in the region. Services
37、 account for 60% of its GDP, and it increasingly dominates the rest of Africa in banking, information technology, telecom, retail and other areas. Just as British banks, such as Barclays, have moved their African headquarters to South Africa over the past year, American investors see the country as
38、a platform to the rest of the continent.Agreeing investment rules and resolving differences on intellectual property rights are the most urgent issues. American drug firms want to be part of the fast expansion in South Africa of production of anti-retroviral drugs, used against AIDS. By 2007 South A
39、frica alone expects 1.2m patients to take the drugs daily. The country might be the worlds biggest exporter of anti-AIDS drugs within a few years. Striking a bilateral deal now should make American investments easier.But Mr. Zoellicks greater concern is for multilateral trade talks that stalled in C
40、ancun, Mexico, in September. Alec Erwin, his South African counterpart, helped to organize the G20 group of poor and middle-income countries that opposed joint American-EU proposals there; he is widely tipped to take over as head of the World Trade Organization late next year, and would be a useful
41、ally.So Mr. Zoellick is trying to charm his African partner by agreeing to drop support for most of a group of issues (known as “Singapore“ issues) that jammed up the talks at Cancun, and were opposed by poor countries; he says he also favors abolishing export subsidies in America-though only if Jap
42、an and the EU agree to do the same. That would please African exporters who say such subsidies destroy markets for their goods.Mr. Zoellicks efforts to make more friends may be paying off. Even though America has treated Africa very shabbily on trade in the past, Mr. Erwin hints it is easier doing b
43、usiness with America than with Europe or Japan. A small sign, but perhaps a telling one.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _. A. 6,000 goods from Africa are tariff-free to American countries B. preferential export rules are interesting to southern Africans C. most clothes
44、 found in the U.S. are actually made by Chinese D. Lesotho is willing to export more agricultural goods to the U.S.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).British banks move their headquarters to South Africa because _. A. South Africa is a safer country compared with others in Africa B. South Africa is gradually beco
45、ming a financial center in Africa C. South Africa offers preferential banking terms to foreign banks D. South Africa is a platform in Africa for the American investors（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).American drug makers want to get a share in the anti-AIDS drug production in South Africa in that _. A. the U.S.
46、 domestic anti-AIDS drug market is shrinking quickly B. American drug makers have a lot of extra capital to invest C. the bilateral deal has made U.S. investments much easier now D. South Africa has a huge global market potential in these drugs（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Mr. Zoellick is trying to establish
47、 a good relationship with Mr. Erwin because _. A. Mr. Erwin is organizing a group of, poor and middle-income countries to oppose America. B. Mr. Erwin is a very talented and tactful diplomat in the world political circle C. Mr. Erwins possible position in the coming future will be helpful to American interests D. Mr. Erwins rela
