offering concession and to unblock stalled negotiations on several fronts.But it appears that officials are prepared to turn up the temperature on tradeand live with the consequences.In some ways,Mr.Clinton and his advisers are following the same well-trod path as the Bush administration,which threatened sanctions against the Community last year and walked away from GATT negotiations rather than sign an agreement that would provide only small gains for U.S.companies.The same political pressures from trade hawks in Congress that the Bush officials felt are 浙 00096#外刊经贸知识选读试题 第 2 页(共 5 页)now bearing down on the Clinton team.A broad review of trade policy issues is just beginning within the administration,but officials said the underpinnings of Mr.Kantors decision were plainly found in Mr.Clintons trade speeches during the campaign,particularly the demand for open markets abroad.The reactions to these first signals from the Clinton team has been sharply divergent.16.The purpose of Clinton administrations tough talk is to make concession to the trade partners.17.The officials will accept the consequences of tough trade negotiation.18.The trade policy by Clinton team is completely different with to that of Bushs.19.The Community threatened to make trade sanctions to the United States.20.Clinton team faced political pressures from trade hawks in Congress.Passage 2Economic Troubles Cloud New Markets FutureBut perhaps the major reason is the dark economic clouds now hanging over Europe.One of the central justifications for the single market was its ability to create greater prosperity,but it is making its debut just as Europe traverses one of its roughest economic storms in years.“We are going to wind up 1992 with just about the same level of unemployednearly 10 per cent community widethat we had before this project,”says an aide to Mr.Delors.In addition,economic growth is skidding to an anticipated 1 per cent next year,all of which adds up to consumer and business confidence sinking to the same lows recorded during the pre-single market days of Europessimism.Both EC and independent analysts say that business anticipated the economic benefits of the single market,so that much of the burst of economic activity in preparation for the new market has already occurred.Business investment,which had been flat for the five years preceding the decision in 1985 to create the single market,soared to a 7 per cent annual growth rate from1985-1990.21.The economic trouble in Europe is the major reason.22.The single market has brought prosperity to the European economy.23.The unemployment rate was 10%in 1992.24.The economic growth rate next year is expected to be about 1%in European Community.25.Business investment increased at 5%growth rate in 1990s.浙 00096#外刊经贸知识选读试题 第 3 页(共 5 页)非选择题部分注意事项:用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上,不能答在试题卷上。三、将下列中文词组译成英文:本大题共 10 小题,每小题 1 分,共 10

least for the time being.The debt problems confronting a number of developing countries have reinforced Chinas determination to introduce foreign technology by means of direct investment and concessionary finance rather than by raising substantial sums of money on the international capital markets.Foreign 浙 00096#外刊经贸知识选读试题 第 4 页(共 5 页)investment is advantageous insofar as it facilitates the transfer of technology and skills and avoids creating an overhang of debt.The authorities do not consider it appropriate to incur large amounts of external debt until a number of practical bottlenecks in the economy,such as an inadequate transport network and energy constraints,have been tackled.Chinas access to substantial sums of money from the World Bank also reduces the need to borrow on commercial terms.46.What is the meaning of“cautious”?47.What are the“practical bottlenecks”in the context?48.What does“borrow on commercial terms”imply?Passage 2China is reaping the rewards of reforms first launched by Deng Xiaoping in 1979.Foreign investment is now welcome.Special Economic Zones are booming.The opening of securities and real-estate markets have created new opportunities.Clearly,Chinas economy is a work in progress,nowhere near realizing the potential of its billion-plus population.Its gross domestic product last year was,according to the official measure,420 billionno more than that of southern California.China remains primarily a nation of farmers,and the transition to an industrial free market is much like the traffic on Highway 204unpredictable.Few state-owned firms have been sold,and most are laggard behemoths.Growth is driven by new joint ventures,collectives and private businesses,which now account for more than 50%of Chinas industrial production.49.What is the meaning of“opportunities”?50.What is Chinas GDP last year?.51.Who created half of Chinas industrial output?六、翻译题:本大题 12 分。52.Output for the developing countries advanced by 1.9%during 1991 comparable to the weak performance they registered in 1990.In terms of per capita income,real output in developing countries apparently eased somewhat,by 0.1%.A number of factorssome broad-based,others more specific contributed to the weakness of performance.Despite the slowdown in the industrial countriesparticularly in the U.S.improvements in economic performance in Latin America were widespread.The regions GDP rose by 3.0%in 1991,thus reversing the slide in annual per capita income that had taken place over the past decade.Growth rates were in excess of 4%in Argentina,Chile,and Mexico and reached a high of 9.1%in Venezuela.Policy reforms covering fiscal adjustment,trade and investment liberalization,the financial sector,and public-enterprise restructuring and privatization,supported by debt restructuring,have helped to moderate inflation in the region and strengthen domestic demand.浙 00096#外刊经贸知识选读试题 第 5 页(共 5

3.0%,从而扭转了过去十年来人均年收入的下滑趋势。阿根廷、智利和墨西哥的增长率超过 4%,委内瑞拉的增长率高达 9.1%。在债务重组的支持下,涵盖财政调整、贸易和投资自由化、金融部门以及公营企业重组和私有化的政策改革,有助于缓和该地区的通货膨胀,增强内需。外刊经贸知识选读试题答案及评分参考 第 2 页(共 2 页)
