2、启事。 Announcement 二、 Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions attached to the passage. For questions 1-4, mark: Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information
3、 given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. 1 Part Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quick
4、ly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet I. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Rich Man, Poor Man Gluers and sawyers from the furniture factories in Galax n
5、ear the mountains of Virginia lost their jobs last year when American retailers decided they could find a better supplier in China. At the other end of the furniture industry Robert Nardelli lost his job this month when Home Depot decided it could find a better chief executive in his deputy. But any
6、 likeness ends there. Mr. Nardellis exit was as extravagantly rewarded as his occupation of the corner office had been. Next to his $ 210 million severance pay, the redundant woodworkers packages were mean to the point of provocation (激怒 ). Thats the way it goes all over the rich world. If you look
7、back 20 years, the total pay of the typical top American manager has increased from roughly 40 times the average-the level for four decades - to 110 times the average now. These are the glory days of global capitalism. The mix of technology and economic integration transforming the world has created
8、 unparalleled prosperity. In the past five years the world has seen faster growth than at any time since the early 1970s. Having joined the global labor force, hundreds of millions of people in developing countries have won the chance to escape squalor (肮脏 ) and poverty. Hundreds of millions more st
9、and to join them. That promises to improve the lot of humanity as a whole incalculably. But in the rich world labors share of GDP has fallen to historic lows, while profits are soaring. A clamor is abroad that Mr. Nardelli and his friends among the top hundredth - or even the top thousandth - of the
10、 population are seizing the lions share of globalizations gains. Meanwhile everyone else - not just blue-collar factory workers but also the wider office - working middle class - shuffles along, grimly waiting for the next round of cost-cuts. Fear and clothing Signs of a backlash abound. Stephen Roa
11、ch, the chief economist at Morgan Stanley, has counted 27 pieces of anti-China legislation in Congress since early 2005. The German Marshall Fund found last year that, although most people still say they favor free trade, more than half of Americans want to protect domestic companies from foreign co
12、mpetition even if that slows economic growth. In a hint of labors possible resurgence, the House of Representatives has just voted to raise the federal minimum wage for the first time in a decade. Even Japan is alarmed about inequality, stagnant (不景气的 ) wages and jobs going to China. Europe has tied
13、 itself in knots trying to “manage“ trade in Chinese textiles. Should you blame your computer? The panic comes in part from a rush to lump all the blame on globalization. Technology - an even less resistible force - is also destroying white- and blue-collar tasks in a puff of automation and may play
14、 a bigger role in explaining rising wage inequality. The distinctions between technology and globalization count, if only because people tend to welcome computers but condemn foreigners (whether as competitors or immigrants). That makes technology easier to defend. For economists, the debate about w
15、hether technology or globalization is responsible for capitals rewards outpacing those of labor is crucial, complicated and unresolved. One school, which blames globalization, argues that the rocketing profits and sluggish middling wages of the past few years are the long-lasting results of trade, a
16、s all those new developing-country workers enter the labor market. This school says that technology helps workers by increasing their productivity and benefits them in other aspects. The opposing school retorts(反驳 ) that technology does not increase wages immediately as they blaming globalization sa
17、y, and some sorts of information technology seem to boost the returns to capital instead. The first rule is to avoid harming the very miracle that generates so much wealth. Take for instance the arguments about high executive pay. Some say this is simply a matter of governance - and forcing company
18、boards to work better. If only it were that simple. High pay is, by and large, the price needed to attract and motivate gifted managers, as our special report argues in this issue. The abuses of companies such as Home Depot obscure how most high pay has been caused not by powerful bosses fixing thei
19、r own wages, but by the changing job of the chief executive, the growth of large companies and the competitive market for talent. Executive-pay restrictions would not put that horse back in its box, but they would harm companies. If the winners are difficult to curb without doing damage to your econ
20、omy, the losers are tough to help. Doling out aid for the victims of trade makes sense in theory; but in practice it is increasingly hard to do. When the jobs going abroad are not whole assembly lines, but bits of departments, how exactly do you pick out the person who has lost his job to globalizat
21、ion from the millions of people changing jobs for other reasons? And, hardhearted though it may sound, most of the gains from trade and technology alike come from the way they redeploy investment and labor to activities that create more wealth. That, like all change, can be painful; but it is what m
22、akes a country richer. A policy locking people into jobs that could be better done elsewhere is self-defeating. The limits of redistribution If protectionism will not help the losers, what about using the tax system? Some argue that redistributing more cash from the Nardellis to the Galaxians would
23、not just make society less unequal; it would also buy middle-class support for globalization. In fact the two arguments should be kept separate. This newspaper has long argued that a mobile society is better than an equal one: disparities are tolerable if combined with meritocracy and general econom
24、ic advance. For decades America has shown how dynamic economies are better than equality-driven ones at generating overall prosperity. That still leaves plenty of room to debate how progressive to make taxation, or how lavish to make public services. But a society would want compelling evidence that
