商务英语阅读(第二版)-王关富-Unit-6-Goodbye--Free-Trade-课后答案

Unit 6Goodbye, Free Trade?Exercises1.Answer the questions on the text.1) What was the result when the House of Representatives passed theHawley-Smoot Tariff Act in 1930?The economic recession in the United States became even worse.2) According to the author, what happens when a currency appreciates?It diminishes the export advantage of the country and makes it difficult to increase exports or even maintain the status quo.3) How did American politicians take advantage of the public’s stronganti-free-trade sentiment in the United States?They created a talking point in charges of unfair trade so that they thought they could benefit in the mid-term elections.4) What did American politicians and economists agree and disagree over theHawley-Smoot Tariff Act?Almost all of them agreed that it was a bad law, but they disagreed whether it triggered the Great Depression in the 1930s.5) What did Milton Friedman think were the more important reasons for theGreat Depression?The malfunctioning gold standard system and inept monetary policy of the Federal Reserve.6) What was the foreign reaction unexpected by the American lawmakers afterthe Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act was enacted?The trading partners were angered and imposed discriminatory tariffs on American goods. Canada in particular, as the largest export market for the US, reacted fiercely and handed its market over to the British competitors.7) Why is it unlikely for the US to adopt another Smoot-Hawley today in the eyeof the author?(1)The US is much more integrated into the world economy today than it was inthe 1930s.(2)Import restrictions seldom achieve their intended goals, instead, often end uphurting American industries and consumers.(3)The Americans have learned to consider the possible strong foreignretaliation against US exporters.8) What were the respective results for those countries withdrawing from thegold standard and those clinging to it during the 1930s according to the author?Those countries going off the gold standard allowed their currencies to depreciate, avoided protectionist trade policies and, instead, used monetary policy to end price deflation and stimulate economic growth.Those countries choosing to stay on pursued protectionist trade policies by imposing high tariffs, import quotas and exchange controls, which did little in boosting their economic growth. Thus they suffered a longer economic depression.9) How does the author justify his support for the policy of "quantitativeeasing"?(1) Historically, the most important tool for resisting protectionist sentiment in the1930s was a monetary policy that would promote economic growth.Today the US is in a similar situation. Taking right monetary policy can alleviate the pressure on Washington to adopt protectionist trade policy and can help to raise output before it leads to a high inflation.(2) He also quotes what Charles Evens said: Additional measures taken by the Fedto stimulate growth should condoned, not condemned.(3) What Mr. Friedman wrote 1997 about Japan: The surest road to a healthyeconomic recovery is to increase the rate of monetary growth, to shift from tight money to easier money.10) What does the author imply about the US Congress?In comparison with the Fed, the US Congress is following a trade protectionist policy in blaming other countries for its unemployment and may cause serious trade retaliations from trading partners.2. Fill in each blank of the following sentences with one of the phrases in the list given below. Make changes when necessary.1)As the financial scandal involves so many people, the probe in to it could dragon for another year.2)In the age of globalization more individuals are forced to integrate intomultinational work teams.3)Many in Europe are now very much worried that it may sink into a Japan-styleeconomic recession.4)But the business leaders yesterday warned against interest rate rises, arguing thatinflation was being driven not by consumer spending, but by rising commodity prices.5)After the call scandal, the American automakers and some politicians there wereso eager to keep their rival Toyota at bay in the auto market.6)Under the current labor law, two categories of employees are exempt fromminimum wage and overtime requirements.7)Though the local partner made a revised offer, the foreigner investor refused andreverted back to the original agreement conditions.8)Last Friday the two parties met for more than five hours only to end up walkingaway from the table once again, reaching no agreement at all.9)When the government supervises banks, it should take into account their payand bonus structures which may often be the source of corruption.10)The customers severely affected in the incident demanded that the company putin place effective measures to avoid occurrence of such things in the future. 11)It’s critical to take hold of any opportunity coming your way because it willnever come back again once lost.12)At times of economic depression, people are more inclined to unethical means intheir business.3. Match the terms in column A with the definitions in column B:A__________________________ B____________________________________ 1)unfair trade A) Restrictions that governments put in placeon the purchase or sale of a foreign or localcurrency, particularly by those in shortageof hard currencies. 62) real estate B) Escalation of protectionism between two ormore countries that impose punitive tariffsand barriers in retaliation for each other. 83) business cycle C) A general decline in prices often caused bya reduction in the money supply or a decreasein spending. 54) trade protectionism D) Unjustifiable and discriminatory policiesand supports by a government to its ownfirms, ranging from export subsidies to anti-competitive practices. 15) price deflation E) Land, buildings, homes or anything fixed,immovable, or permanently attached that canbe traded in the market. 26) exchange control F) The policy of imposing duties or quotas onimports in order to protect home jobs,markets or industries from overseascompetition. 97) competitive currency devaluation G) A company or country with whom you havean ongoing business relationship and engagein importing or exporting activities. 108) trade war H) A predictable long-term pattern ofeconomic activity that an economyexperiences four stages including decline,recession, recovery and boom. 39) import barriers I) The currency devaluation by a governmentto make its goods more competitive in theinternational markets. 710) trading partner L) The economic policy of restrainingbusiness between states through a variety ofgovernment actions to discourage importsand prevent foreign take-over of domesticmarkets and companies. 44.

2023年12月CET6大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析【官方完整版】Part I 写作Writing (30 minutes)Directions: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参照范文】It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation.We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encouragethe public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off.【参照译文】众所周知创新意味着有发明力,独一无二和不一样。

经济损害水平与经济阈值

经济损害水平与经济阈值

经济损害水平与经济阈值THE KEYS TO DISEASE MANAGEMENTFrom 《Epidemiology and Plant Disease Management》by Jan C. Zadoks, Richard D. Schein. NewYork 1979. p350-353Let us define disease management as the total of all actions,intentional or not,that serve to regulate disease 1evels so that they remain below the economic thresho1d 1evel;the actions can be directed toward a single disease or toward all diseases threatening a crop;the actions may or may not fin to a system of supervised or even integrated contro1;disease management and pest management are parts of crop management,but they may demand a specific expertise.Development of a disease management program depends on knowledge of three areas:crop economics, population dynamics, and disease control technology, With crop economics, we leave the area of natural sciences and enter an area where value judgments pertain.Although the individual’s value judgment may be highly subjective, the science of economics dealing with large groups of individuals is not so.It is the economist who studies the financial aspects of crop losses.For detailed discussions,refer to the appropriate literature (Carlson,1971;Carlson & Main,1976;Ordish & Dufour,1969).Economic considerations are crucial in the process leading to a decision for or against action;Value judgments by authorities,consumers,merchants,and farmers play an important role.The farmer's judgment leads,implicitly or explicitly,to an idea about the economically acceptable damage.1 The Economic injury level or Damage ThresholdThe strategy of disease management is to to1erate disease,but to regulate it at subeconomic levels. It follows that that the level Xt at which disease begins to adversely affect yield and/or quality--the damage threshold- must be known.The level of this threshold varies with crop, disease,and 1ocal economy.One farmer or farming region may be able to tolerate loss of attainable yield better than another and remain economically viable.The farmer's judgment about the economically acceptable damage must be translated into concomitant levels of Xt. Such studies are still rare; an excellent example is given by Calpouzos et al.(1976).The level of Xt at which the highest,economically acceptable damage occurs has been called the economic injury level by entomologists:it is the lowest population density that will anuse economic damage. Economic damage is the amount of injury which will justify the cost of artificial control,measures;consequently, the economic-injury 1evel may vary from area to area, season to season, or with man's changing scale of economic values'' (Stern et al., 1959).Here,We will call it the damage threshold (see Fig. 11.1 where it is shown as an arbitrarily placedline).Lines 1 and 2 represent disease progressing at the same rate.Line 2 either originates from a lower level of Xo (a) or starts later in the,season (b).Line 1 crosses the damage threshold Xd earlier than line 2 and reaches a higher harvest level Xh of disease and,probably,damage.lines 3 and 4 are for disease progressing at a much lower rate;they will not reach the damage threshold before harvest. Such a rate would result from horizontal resistance, and the use of cultivars with this quality would satisfy the requirements of disease management.True determination of the damage threshold is part of the fine tuning of a local management system and depends not only on biologic information but also on accurate knowledge of the costs of inputs to the system,the value of outputs,and the required maintenance level. The farmer can afford only that amount of disease control that will produce yield or profit exceeding the cost of the control measures.As intensification increases,input costs generally increase.Yields plotted against inputs often show an inflection in the curve after which each unit of input produces a smaller increment of yield.One of the inputs is the cost of disease control and diminishing returns must be taken into account in judging how much control is affordable.2 The Economic Threshold or Action ThresholdThe rate of disease development r depends on host resistance,pathogen virulence,and environmental suitability.Cultivars may have different damage thresholds.If Xo,r, and the damage threshold are known,it can be predicted at what time disease will exceed the damage threshold.If it is sufficiently before harvest,significant damage may result.Figure 11.1 illustrates this.If the damage threshold Xd is known,and disease is present,the farmer must know when to act--the action threshold,Xa. At the right time,ta,the farmer must apply a control measure that will so reduce r that disease will not reach the damage threshold before harvest.Empirical fungicide studies show what degree of r reduction will result with different materials under different conditions.Line 3 of Figure 11.1 illustrates this idea,If disease is observed to be progressing at the rate of line 1 and if it is known that a particular treatment will reduce r the amount indicated by f. the manager or advisor can calculale the time,ta,and disease level,Xa,at which to act.Epidemio1ogy provides the means to make these decisions.The manager may also calculate,for any time in the season,the allowable r value and spray accordingly.Our term “action threshold ’’is synonymous with the entomologists’ economic threshold,which is defined as 'the density at which control measures should be determined to prevent an increasing pest population from reaching the economic-injury level.The economic threshold is lower than the economic injury level to permit sufficient time for the initiation of control measures and for these measures to take effect before the population reaches the economic-injury level’(Stern et al. 1959)3 The Warning ThresholdMany things have to be done before a farmer can take the appropriate action.The chemical has to be bought,the spray equipment readied,and so on.Sometimes a warning threshold is useful. It is the level of disease severity Xw that leads to a standby warning.The warning threshold is lower and earlier than the action threshold,and the latter is lower and earlier than the damage threshold,As the damage threshold is based on a value judgment,it is subjective,and,consequently,the other two thresholds are also subjective.Objectivation is possible by mutual agreement,but whereas the damage threshold may vary somewhat from farm to farm,the warning thresho1d can be 1ocally or.Regionally determined and watched.It is noteworthy that BLITECAST,described in Example ll.4,contains a warning threshol1d.经济损害水平经济损害水平(economic injury level,简称EIL)造成经济损失的最低有害生物种群密度。

economic reform 英文解释

economic reform 英文解释

economic reform 英文解释Economic reform is a crucial process that involves changes in the economic policies, institutions, and structures of a country, aimed at improving its economic performance and well-being. It encompasses a wide range of measures, from deregulation and privatization to market liberalization and social spending, all designed to foster growth, innovation, and competitiveness.The need for economic reform often arises due to various challenges, such as high levels of bureaucracy and government intervention, rigid labor markets, and inadequate infrastructure. These challenges can hinder economic growth and development, leading to stagnation, income inequality, and social unrest. Economic reform, therefore, becomes necessary to address these issues and create a more dynamic and inclusive economy.One of the key objectives of economic reform is to enhance the role of markets in resource allocation. This involves reducing government intervention and allowing market forces to determine prices and production levels. Deregulation and privatization are two common tools used toachieve this objective. Deregulation refers to the removal of unnecessary laws and regulations that restrict business activity, while privatization involves the transfer of ownership and control of state-owned enterprises to private sector players. These measures can help to improve efficiency, innovation, and competition, thereby boosting economic growth.Another important aspect of economic reform is the promotion of trade and investment. This involves reducing tariffs and other trade barriers, improving the ease of doing business, and attracting foreign capital. By opening up markets to international trade and investment, countries can expand their economic horizons, access new sources of technology and know-how, and create jobs and wealth. Market liberalization, therefore, becomes a crucial component of economic reform, enabling countries to integrate more deeply into the global economy.However, economic reform is not solely focused on growth and competitiveness.

电动滑板车的安全等2则外刊阅读训练--2023届高三英语二轮复习

外刊精读电动滑板车的安全导读:眼下最新的城市交通出行方式是骑电动滑板车。

这种新型交通工具使人们从一地到另一地的出行过程变得既简单又便宜。

不过至少在英国,法律对在哪里可以骑电动滑板车是有限制的。

人们对在公路上使用滑板车的安全系数也有顾虑。

本集“外刊精读” 介绍这个时髦的交通工具。

一、语篇泛读If you look around the streets of London, you’ll see the many methods people use to move around. Whether it’s on a commute to work, a trip to the shops, or a sightseeing excursion, there are people on buses,the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The roads are already congested; and now there’s a new addition: electric, or 'e-scooters'.This traditional children’s vehicle has become more sophisticated over the years. And now, with the addition of a small electric motor, it’s become a cheap and easy mode of transport.Scooting around town can be fun and doesn’t involve much effort, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world. But following what’s believed to be the first fatal accident involving an electric scooter in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed.Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements; others on the road jumping red traffic lights, adding to the frustration of motorists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that ridi ng one on the public highway or pavement is forbidden. Riders currently face a £300fixed-penalty notice and six points on their driving licence for doing so. But, despite this, it seems the increasing popularity of e-scooters means they can be seen everywhere. And now users are calling on regulations to be changed.三、测试与练习阅读课文并回答问题。

经济负增长英语

经济负增长英语

经济负增长英语Economic Recession: A Global ChallengeThe world has witnessed a significant economic downturn in recent years, with many countries experiencing a period of negative economic growth, commonly referred to as an economic recession. This phenomenon has had far-reaching consequences, impacting individuals, businesses, and governments alike. As we delve into the complexities of economic recession, it is crucial to understand its underlying causes, its impact on various sectors, and the strategies employed to navigate through these turbulent times.At the heart of an economic recession lies a decline in economic activity, characterized by a decrease in consumer spending, business investment, and overall production. This slowdown can be triggered by a variety of factors, such as a collapse in consumer confidence, a credit crunch, or a sudden disruption in global trade. When the economy contracts, businesses are forced to cut costs, leading to job losses and a rise in unemployment. Consumers, in turn, become more cautious in their spending, further exacerbating the downward spiral.The impact of an economic recession is felt across various industries and sectors. The manufacturing sector is often hit the hardest, as demand for goods and services declines. The construction industry, which is heavily reliant on consumer confidence and access to credit, also experiences a significant downturn. The service sector, including industries such as retail, hospitality, and entertainment, also faces significant challenges as consumers tighten their belts.The financial sector is particularly vulnerable during an economic recession. Banks and other financial institutions may experience a surge in non-performing loans, leading to a reduction in lending and a tightening of credit. This, in turn, can further hamper economic growth, as businesses and individuals struggle to access the necessary funding to invest and consume.Governments play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of an economic recession. Policymakers often implement a range of fiscal and monetary policies to stimulate the economy. Fiscal policies, such as tax cuts and increased government spending, aim to boost consumer demand and encourage business investment. Monetary policies, on the other hand, typically involve central banks lowering interest rates and injecting liquidity into the financial system to facilitate lending and investment.In addition to government interventions, businesses must also adapttheir strategies to navigate the challenges posed by an economic recession. This may involve cost-cutting measures, such as reducing staff, streamlining operations, and renegotiating supplier contracts. Businesses may also seek to diversify their product offerings or explore new markets to offset the decline in domestic demand.Individuals, too, play a crucial role in weathering an economic recession. Consumers may need to adjust their spending habits, prioritize essential expenses, and seek opportunities to save or invest. Additionally, individuals may need to explore alternative sources of income, such as freelance work or side hustles, to supplement their primary employment.In conclusion, economic recession is a complex and multifaceted challenge that requires a coordinated effort from governments, businesses, and individuals. By understanding the underlying causes, the impact on various sectors, and the strategies employed to navigate these turbulent times, we can better prepare for and mitigate the effects of future economic downturns. Ultimately, the ability to adapt, innovate, and work together will be the key to overcoming the challenges posed by economic recession and fostering a more resilient and prosperous future.。

159 Economic Recession II(经济衰退II)
A. 在上次的节目中,我们一起学习的是当前困扰世界各国的经济衰退话题,其中我们了解了一些与这一话题有关的英语词汇。

V. 为巩固所学词汇,我们还特意从报刊媒体中选取了一些句子,通过实例来学习这些词汇的用法。

A. 我们还提到,在经济衰退中,个人乃至家庭最关心和焦虑的无疑是工作的稳定性,而在与朋友聊天和交谈时,工作也成了越来越常见的话题。

V. 我们今天就这样的话题安排了一段对话,看看对话中的两个人是如何讨论的,同时进一步学习与经济衰退有关的英语词汇和知识。

A. 好的,和以前一样,我们先把今天的对话听一遍。

Dialogue Language Points
D. Hi, Ashley. Long time no see. You must have been very busy. A. 对话第一话是先问候,然后是大家都很熟悉的Long time no see.(好久不见了),由此而见两人是彼此比较熟识的朋友。

V. 然后他说道:You must have been very busy.(你一定一直非常忙),注意这里使用的时态must have been,表示一直以来的状况。

A. 从这里也能看出,两人以前可能会经常或时不时能见到,因此如果长时间没见到,一方可能会猜测对方一定一直很忙,所以很少出门或参加活动。

V. 我们来比较一下,如果这句话是You must be very busy.,则表示的是现在的情况“你现在一定非常忙,”long time no see(长时间没见)的意味没体现出来。

A. Yes, between work, family and school. A. 我们接着看对话下一句:Yes,然后解释原因:between
work, family and school.,应该是忙于工作家庭和学业,
Vincent,这里的between是什么意思和用法?
V. between在这里的意思是“在…共同影响之下”,而不
是常见的“在…之间”的意思。

A. 这个意思好像不太常用,能不能举个例子看一看?
V. 好的,例句就是:Between housework, kids and part-time
job, she hardly has any time for leisure activities.
A. 她既要做家务、照顾孩子,还有份兼职工作,几乎没
有时间进行休闲活动。

我想这是许多移民朋友,特别是新
移民都会面对的情况,不过休闲活动也是生活中必不可少的一部分。

V. 是的,休闲活动leisure activities不仅可使人放松身心,而且可以结识新朋友、练习语言、了解当地社会和文化。

A. 回到between这个单词,我们再强调一下,它的意思并不是常见的“在…之间”,而是“在…共同影响之下”,朋友们不妨翻翻字典,多看几个例句。

D. School? I didn’t know you went back to school. V. 让我们回到对话,School? I didn’t know you went back to school.
A. 听到学业,对方很奇怪,说道:我还不知道你重返校园了,这里用的是过去时I didn’t know,表示在你告诉我之前我是不知道的。

A. No, I didn’t. I’m just taking an online course to upgrade myself. V. 对方马上回答道No, I didn’t.,我没有重返校园,I’m just taking an online course to upgrade myself.
A. 原来是正在上一门网上课程,以提升自己,这里的online course就是网上课程、在线课程,是现在越来越普遍的一种学习和进修方式。

V. 与此类似的还有一种课程correspondence course,汉语中称为“函授课程”,其中correspondence拼法是[ ],意思是“通信、函件”,online course和correspondence course都是针对教室里面对面授课形式而言的。

A. 这样的授课方式特别适用于有家庭和有工作的朋友,不过,由于不同于课程授课,因此可能需要很大的自觉和自律性。

V. 这句话中还有一个单词值得学习upgrade [ ],这里的意思是“提高、提升”,不断的自我提升对于在职人士来说是非常重要的。

A. 这样才能不断更新知识和技能,在职场中立于不败之地。

另外,在表示电脑升级时也使用upgrade这一单词。

D. Good for you! V. 对话中下一句是我们提到过的日常用语Good for you.,
意思就是“不错啊、真棒啊”,是一种正面的肯定、欣赏
和祝愿。

A. 这种正面的表达在与人交流时很有用,特别是在别人
取得成绩、完成任务、分享好消息时都可用得上。

A. Well, my company is undergoing restructuring. This is my Plan B in case something happens. V. 听到别人说Good for you,一般用Thank you回答,不过对话中的人回答道Well,听起来似乎有些无奈。

A. 这是为什么呢?我们来看一看原因。

V. 原因就是:our company is undergoing restructuring。

A. 原来是公司正在进行重组,大家都知道,公司要重组
那肯定会对职位进行调整,也就意味着可能会裁掉一些职
位和员工。

V. 这里有两个单词可以学一下,一个是动词undergo,意
思是“经历、进行”。

A. 要注意它的过去时和完成时,分别是underwent和
undergone,与简单动词go一样。

V. 第二个词是restructuring,意思是“重组”,拼法是
[ ],是从单词structure加上表示“重新”的前缀re演变
来的。

A. 这里还有第二句,进一步解释为何去上课提升自己。

V. 这句话是This is my Plan B in case something happens.
A. 意思就是:这是我的第二方案,以防发生什么事,这
里的something应该就是暗示layoff。

V. 而Plan B在英语口语中也非常常见,意思就是“第二
方案、备选方案”,指的是原来的情况和计划发生变化时
的应急计划。

A. 在经济衰退时制定Plan B非常重要,万一真的被裁员
也不至于一时不知所措,而参加培训和进修是一种非常不
错的Plan B。

D. Good thinking. I guess I will have to
start doing the same thing.
A. How come?
D. My company has been outsourcing a lot
of jobs to Asia. So everybody is talking
about mass layoff.
A. That sounds scary.
D. It does. We can only hope economy will
turn around soon.
A. True. You know what my motto is?
Prepare for the worse; hope for the best.
D. Mine is: Be positive and optimistic.
A. That’s very important, especially in the
current economic climate.。
