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.
What was the economic situation in France and Spain?A. Much better
B. Somewhat better.
C. Close to zero.
D. Much worse.答案：B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

第13题：
Text 3Positive surprises from government reports on retail sales, industrial production, and housing in the past few months are leading economists to revise their real gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts upward supporting the notion that the recession ended in December or January.
Bear in mind: This recovery won’t have the vitality normally associated with an upturn. Economists now expect real GDP growth of about 1.5 in the first quarter. That’s better than the 0.4 the consensus projected in December, but much of the additional growth will come from a slower pace of inventory drawdowns, not from surging demand.
Moreover, the economy won’t grow fast enough to help the labor markets much. The only good news there is that jobless claims have fallen back from their spike after September 11 and that their current level suggests the pace of layoffs is easing.
The recovery also does not mean the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates soon. The January price indexes show that inflation remains tame. Consequently, the Fed can take its time shifting monetary policy from extreme accommodation to relative neutrality.
Perhaps the best news from the latest economic reports was the January data on industrial production. Total output fell only 0.1, its best showing since July. Factory output was flat, also the best performance in six months. Those numbers may not sound encouraging, but manufacturers have been in recession since late 2000. The data suggest that the factory sector is finding a bottom from which to start its recovery.
Production of consumer goods, for instance, is almost back up to where it was a year ago. That’s because consumer demand for motor vehicles and other goods and the housing industry remained healthy during the recession, and they are still growing in early 2002.
Besides, both the monthly homebuilding starts number and the housing market index for the past two months are running above the averages for all of 2001, suggesting that home-building is off to a good start and probably won’t be big drag on GDP growth this year.
Equally important to the outlook is how the solid housing market will help demand for home-related goods and services. Traditionally, consumers buy the bulk of their furniture, electronics, and textiles within a year of purchasing their homes. Thus, spending on such items will do well this year, even as car sales slip now that incentives are less attractive. Look for the output of consumer goods to top year-ago level in coming months.
Even the business equipment sector seems to have bottomed out. Its output rose 0.4% in January, led by a 0.6% jump computer gear. A pickup in orders for capital goods in the fourth quarter suggests that production will keep increasing—although at a relaxed pace—in coming months.
第31题：American economists are surprised to see that______.
［A］they have to revise the GDP forecasts so often
［B］their government is announcing the end of a recession
［C］US economy is showing some signs of an upturn
［D］GDP growth reflects stronger domestic demand
正确答案：C这是一道涉及对第一、二段理解的事实细节题。第一段是一句话段落，其主干结构是positive surprises…lead economists to… supporting the notion that…。该段提到政府报告带来的意外惊喜使经济学家将对国民生产总值的预测上调，从而支持了经济衰退期已在12月或1月终止的观点。由一段中的“意外惊喜”和“经济学家上调国民生产总值预测的举措”可知让他们吃惊的是经济状况好转的迹象，即［C］项为正确答案。
第一、二段只提到经济学家对GDP预期的一次调整，无法推出他们频繁地修改。排除［A］项。由第一段可知，政府只报导了各个领域经济发展的好势头，而未宣布经济衰退期的终止。排除［B］项。第二段末句but转折后提到，但是（GDP）增长部分主要是因为存货提用的速度减缓，而不是需求的增长（surging demand），由此排除［D］项。

Sino-Japan Animosity（敌意）Lessens
Chinese and Japanese people view each other slightly more positively than last year,according to a
survey released on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.
The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO（非营利性的组织）,a Japanese think
tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations.It also found an overwhelming agreement in both
countries that Sino-Japanese relations were important.
The survey is a part of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,an annual gathering of senior government officials and
representatives from Chinese and Japanese NGOs（非政府组织）designed to improve communication and
understanding between the Iwo countries.
Conducted every year for five years now,the survey focused on two different groups of people:ordinary
citizens,and intellectuals.In China,the intellectual group was comprised mainly of university students from
well-known schools like Peking University.In Japan,the intellectual group was mainly made up of previous
members of Genron NPO.
Among ordinary Chinese polled,35.7 percent said they have"very good"or"relatively good"
impressions of Japan,a 5.5-percentage-point increase compared with last year. 45.2 percent of Chinese
students had a positive impression of Japan,two percentage points more than last year. Only 26.6 percent of
Japanese have a positive impression of China,however.
Still,an overwhelming majority of the respondents from each country said Sino-Japanese relations were
"important"and wanted their leaders to deepen talks and cooperation with each other.
But 51.9 percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of students in China said they saw no change in
relations between the two countries over the last year. In Japan,64.8 percent of those ordinary people and
53.4 percent of intellectuals surveyed shared the view that there was no improvement in bilateral ties this
year.
Historical issues and territorial disputes remain two major obstacles to improving bilateral relations,the
survey found.What concerns the Chinese most are historical issues:visits by Japanese officials to Yasukuni
Shrine（靖国神社）,and the Nanjing Massacre（大屠杀）.
Perceptions on economic and trade relations have improved,though.About 47 percent of ordinary
Japanese said China had been"helpful"this year in fighting the global economic crisis,compared with just
30 percent last year. The percent of Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese economic growth was good for
Japan increased from 65.8 percent to 81.4 percent this year.
Cooperation in East Asia issues,trade and investment,energy,the environment and climate change top
the list of common concerns that people in China and Japan want their leaders to talk about in bilateral
meetings,the survey found.
Civil exchanges were regarded by most people from both countries as an important way to improve
relations.90. 7 percent of the students and 85.7 percent of the ordinary people in China and 95.8% of
intellectuals and 74.8% of the ordinary people in Japan viewed civil exchanges as"important"or"relatively
important".
Chinese and Japanese both learn about each other's country mostly through television news and
newspapers,the survey found.In the last year,_______% of ordinary Chinese and_________% of Chinese students had a positive impression of Japan.
A:35.7;45.2
B:51.9;42.4.
C:5.5;26.6
D:30.2;43.2答案：D解析：从第二段最后一句话可知，中日两国民众普遍认为两国之间的关系很重要。
第三段明确表示，论坛是为了增进两国之间的沟通和理解。
第五段中说本年度普通中国人和大学生中对日本印象较好的人所占比例分别为 35.7％和45.2%，分别比上一年度增长5.5个百分点和2个百分点，因此可以计算出去年的普 通中国人和大学生对日本持积极态度的百分比分别为30.2％和43.2%。
第八段列出了阻碍中日关系正常发展的主要障碍，分别是领土争端和历史问题，后者 包括南京大屠杀和日本领导人参拜靖国神社的行为，贸易摩擦则没有被提及。
从倒数第二段提供的数据可知，中日两国大多数人认为民间交往是促进两国关系发展 的重要途径。 -
第15题：
Question 51-52refer to the following information.
The bad news about a slow-but-steady recovery is clear: lingering long-term unemployment, stagnant wages, and a housing recovery that is leaving many middle-income families behind. But one interesting side-effect of the boring recovery is that it puts to rest （for now） the popular fears of an AI/robot revolution taking all of our jobs. In that brave neo-industrial world, one thing you would expect to see is GDP growth rapidly outstripping employment, as robots did a bunch of work while Americans sat around waiting for federal welfare checks. Quite the opposite, in the last few years, GDP-per-worker has all but stopped growing.
What is author's attitude toward slow-but-steady recovery?A. Positive
B. Indifferent.
C. Negative
D. Objective.答案：D解析：态度题。作者在该段开始主要介绍了缓慢而稳定的复苏带来的一些负面效应：比如长期失业、工资停止增长等。接下来，作者话锋一转，又指出了这种复苏带来的一种非常有趣的副作用，其实是在说明复苏带来的比较好的方面。因此作者只是很客观地在阐述复苏这种现象带来的利与弊。 -
第16题：
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.

问答题Topic 5：Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”? Questions for Reference: 1. What kind of products will you define as “luxuries”? 2. Should people who receive subsistence allowance from the government be allowed to own luxuries? Why or why not? 3. What do you suggest will be the more “humane” restrictions on those who apply for subsistence allowance?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”?
My name is my registration number is my topic is: Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”?
I have known from newspapers that one local government has declared that government relief recipients are not allowed to buy “luxuries” such as cell phones and computers. Once violated, the subsistence allowance will be halted. It has caused withdrawn debate among the Public. The supporters say that limited financial resources should be used where they are most needed and those who can afford top-grade commodities have no right to the subsistence allowance. Nevertheless, the opponents insist that purchasing something they think necessary is personal freedom and should not be interfered. As far as I am concerned, government relief recipients shouldn’t be kept from owning such “luxuries”. My reasons are as follows:
Firstly, I agree that it is personal freedom [or people to decide what to buy, even for the poor. How recipients use the money is their own business in which the government has no right to interfere despite its role as the provider of the relief.
Secondly, cell phones and computers are currently becoming the daily necessities for the majority of the average people, including the poor. They can help o improve people’s living standards and shake off poverty.
Thirdly, we are now living in a modern age. Information technology is developing fast with each passing day. We all need to try our best to keep up with the time.
Finally, I hope that the government will take more active measures to implement the policy of urban subsistence allowance and effectively help those from low-income families. 解析： 暂无解析
