The two-speed recovery ?modest in advanced economies and robust in emerging market economies has posed different policy challenges for countries. In advanced economies hit hardest by the crisis, governments and households remain heavily indebted, to varying degrees, and the health of financial institutions has not recovered in tandem with the overall economy. Emerging market economies are facing new challenges associated with strong domestic demand, rapid credit growth, relatively accommodative macroeconomic policies, and large capital inflows. Geopolitical riskscould also threaten the economic and financial outlook, with oil prices increasing sharply amid fears of supply disruptions in the Middle East and North Africa.The main task facing policymakers in advanced economies is to shift the balance of policies away from reliance on macroeconomic and liquidity support to more structural policies ?less "leaning" and more " cleaning" of the financial system. This will entail reducing leverage and restoring market discipline , while avoiding financial or economic disruption during the transition. Thus, ongoing policy efforts to withdraw(implicit)public guarantees and ensure bondholder liability for future losses must build on more rapid progress toward stronger bank balance sheets, ensuring medium-term fiscal sustainability and addressing excessive debt burdens in the private sector.For policymakers in emerging market economies, the task is to limit overheating and a buildup of vulnerabilities ?to avoid " cleaning" later. Emerging market economies have continued to benefit from strong growth relative to that in advanced economies, accompanied by increasing portfolio capital inflows. This is putting pressure on some financial markets, contributing to higher leverage, potential asset price bubbles, and inflationary pressures. Policymakers will have to pay increasing attention to containing the buildup of macro-financial risks to avoid future problems that could inhibit their growth and damage financial stability.汉译英32 中意两国都是拥有悠久历史和灿烂文化的文明古国。

A.《学而》B.《为政》C.《阳货》D.《雍也》正确答案:C解析:(孔子的)“兴观群怨”说:这是孔子在《论语.阳货》篇里提出来的关于文学作品的社会作用的说法。
《阳货》篇记载说:“子曰:小子何莫学夫《诗》?《诗》可以兴,可以观,可以群,可以怨。
迩之事父,远之事君,多识于鸟兽草木之名。
”兴,指诗歌具体安排的艺术形象,可以激发人的精神之兴奋,可以使人从诗歌鉴赏中获得一种美的享受;观,是指诗歌真实地反映社会政治和道德风尚状况,因而能让人从中观察出政治的得失和风俗的盛衰;群,则是认为诗歌可以有使人互相交流情感、加强团结的作用;怨,是指文学作品有干预现实、批评社会的作用。
孔子的“兴观群怨”说,对后来的现实主义文学批评理论和现实主义文学创作产生了非常重要的影响,但是也不可以说是现实主义理论的滥觞。

崔颢,唐代诗人。
汴州(今河南省开封市)人。
其早期诗作多写闺情,流于浮艳轻薄。
后历边塞,诗风大振,忽变常体,风骨凛然,尤其是边塞诗慷慨豪迈,雄浑奔放。

半个世纪前,她的长着高鼻梁、黑眼睛的混血女儿,历时15年,用手中的笔,书写了一部给外国人看的家族史,这是一部纠结着血缘传承、习俗差异、民族矛盾的复杂家族史,更是一部扎根在自己家族,涉与曾国藩、义和团、袁世凯、基督教、共产党的波澜壮阔的民族断代史。
2.钱钟书先生的笔记中不仅包括了《诗经》、《论语》、《史记》、《全唐诗》、《全宋词》、《红楼梦》等经典,更大量涉与历代文人诗文别集、笔记小说、野史杂谈、尺牍日札。
多种形制、各类语体的读数笔记曾伴随钱钟书走南闯北,历经风雨,充分展现了钱先生的国学水平。
3.一方面,新兴市场国家,如金砖四国,希望注资IMF。
据消息人士称,IMF需要3500亿美元来帮助西班牙和意大利等国渡过债务危机。

Internationalization increases the danger that foreign companies will use import relief laws against the very companies the laws were designed to protect.Suppose a United States-owned company establishes an overseas plant to manufacture a product while its competitor makes the same product in the United States.If the competitor can prove injury from the imports—and that the United States Company received a subsidy from a foreign government to build its plant abroad—the United States Company’s products will be uncompetitive in the United States,since they would be subject to duties.Perhaps the most brazen case occurred when the ITC investigated allegations that Canadian companies were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt,used to device roads.The bizarre aspect of the complaint was that a foreign conglomerate with United States operations was crying for help against a United States company with foreign operations.The“United States”company claiming injury was a subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate,while the“Canadian”companies included a subsidiary of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt.01.The passage is chiefly concerned with______.A.arguing against the increased internationalization of United States corporationsB.warning that the application of laws affecting trade frequently has unintended consequencesC.demonstrating that foreign-based firms receive more subsidies from their governments than United States firms receive from the United States governmentD.advocating the use of trade restrictions for“dumped”products but not for other imports02.It can be inferred from the passage that the minimal basis for a complaint to the International Trade Commission is which of the following?A.A foreign competitor has received a subsidy from a foreign government.B.A foreign competitor has substantially increased the volume of products shipped to the United States.C.A foreign competitor is selling products in the United States at less than fair market value.D.The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the United States.03.The last paragraph performs which of the following functions in the passage?A.It summarizes the discussion thus far and suggests additional areas of research.B.It presents a recommendation based on the evidence presented earlier.C.It cites a specific ease that illustrates a problem presented more generally in the previous paragraph.D.It introduces an additional area of concern not mentioned earlier.04.The passage warns of which of the following dangers?panies in the United States may receive no protection from imports unless they actively seek protection from import competition.panies that seek legal protection from import competition may incur legal costs that far exceed any possible gain.panies that are United States owned but operate internationally may not be eligible for protection from import competition under the laws of the countries in which their plants operate.panies that are not United States owned may seek legal protection from import competition under United States import relief laws.05.According to the passage,the International Trade Commission isinvolved in which of the following?A.Investigating allegations of unfair import competitionB.Granting subsidies to eompanies in the United States that have been injured by import competitionC.Recommending legislation to ensure fair tradeD.Identifying international corporations that wish to build plants in the United StatesPassage BSince the late1970s,in the face Of a severe loss of market share in dozens of industries,manufacturers in the United States have been trying to improve productivity—and therefore enhance their international competitiveness—through cost-cutting programs.(Cost-cutting here is defined as raising labor output while holding the amount of labor constant.)However,from1978through1982,productivity—the value of goods manufactured divided by the amount of labor input—did not improve;and while the results were better in the business upturn of the three years following,they ran25percent lower than productivity improvements during earlier,post-1945upturns.At the same time,it became clear that the harder manufactures worked to implement cost-cutting,the more they lost their competitive edge.With this paradox in mind,I recently visited25companies;it became clear to me that the cost-cutting approach to increasing productivity is fundamentally flawed.Manufacturing regularly observes a“40,40, 20”rule.Roughly4o percent of any manufacturing-based competitive advantage derives from long-term changes in manufacturing structure (decisions about the number,size,location,and capacity of facilities)and in approaches to materials.Another40percent comes from major changes in equipment and process technology.The final20percent rests on implementing conventional cost-cutting.This rule does not imply that cost-cutting should not be tried.The well-known tools of this approach—including simplifying jobs and retraining employees to work smarter,not harder—do produce results.But the tools quickly reach the limits of what they can contribute.Another problem is that the cost-cutting approach hinders innovation and discourages creative people.As Abernathy’s study of automobile manufacturers has shown,an industry can easily become prisoner of itsown investments in cost-cutting techniques,reducing its ability to develop new products.And managers under pressure to maximizecost-cutting will resist innovation because they know that more fundamental changes in processes or systems will wreak havoc with the results on which they are measured.Production managers have always seen their job as one of minimizing costs and maximizing output.This dimension of performance has until recently sufficed as a basis of evaluation,but it has created a penny-pinching,mechanistic culture in most factories that has kept away creative managers.Every company I know that has freed itself from the paradox has done so,in part,by developing and implementing a manufacturing strategy. Such a strategy focuses on the manufacturing structure and on equipment and process technology.In one company a manufacturing strategy that allowed different areas of the factory to specialize in different markets replaced the conventional cost-cutting approach; within three years the company regained its competitive advantage. Together with such strategies,successful companies are also encouraging managers to focus on a wider set of objectives besides cutting costs.There is hope for manufacturing,but it clearly rests on a different way of managing.01The author of the passage is primarily concerned with______.A.summarizing a thesisB.recommending a different approachparing points of viewD.making a series of predictions02It can be inferred from the passage that the manufacturers mentioned in paragraph1expected that the measures they implemented would______.A.encourage innovationB.keep labor output constantC.increase their competitive advantageD.permit business upturns to be more easily predicted03.The primary function of the first paragraph of the passage is to ______.A.present a historical context for the author’s observationsB.anticipate challenges to the prescriptions that followC.clarify some disputed definitions of economic termsD.summarize a number of long-accepted explanations04.The author refers to Ahernathy’s study most probably in order to ______.A.qualify an observation about one rule governing manufacturingB.address possible objections to a recommendation about improving manufacturing competitivenessC.support an earlier assertion about method of increasing productivityD.suggest the centrality in the Unit States economy of a particular manufacturing industry05.The author’s attitude toward the culture in most factories is best described as______.A.cautiousB.criticalC.disinterestedD. respectfulPassage CIt can be argued that much consumer dissatisfaction with marketing strategies arises from an inability to aim advertising at only the likely buyers of a given product.There are threegroups of consumers who are affected by the marketing process.First, there is the market segment—people who need the commodity in question. Second,there is the program target—people in the market segment with the“best fit”characteristics for a specific product.Lots of people—may need trousers,but only a few qualify as likely buyers of very expensive designer trousers.Finally,there is the program audience—all people who are actually exposedto the marketing program without regard to whether they need or want the product.These three groups are rarely identical.An exception occurs in cases where customers for a particular industrial product may be few and easily identifiable.Such customers,allsharing a particular need,are likely to form a meaningful target,for example,all companies with a particular application of the product in question,such as high-speed fillers ofbottles at breweries.In such circumstances,direct selling(marketing that reaches only the program target)is likely to be economically justified,and highly specialized trade media existto expose members of the program target—and only members of the program target—to the marketing program.Most consumer-goods markets are significantly different.Typically, there are many rather than few potential customers.Each represents a relatively small percentage of potential sales.Rarely do members of a particular market segment group themselves neatly into a meaningful program target.There are substantial differences among consumers with similar demographic characteristics.Even with all the past decade’s advances in information technology, direct selling of consumer goods is rare,and mass marketing—-a marketing approach that aims at a wide audience-remains the only economically feasible mode.Unfortunately,there are few media that allow the marketer to direct a marketing program exclusively to the program target.Inevitably,people get exposed to a great deal of marketing for products in which they have no interest and so they become annoyed.01.The passage suggests which of the following about highly specialized trade media?A.They should be used only when direct selling is not economically feasible.B.They can be used to exclude from the program audience people who are not part of the program target.C.They are used only for very expensive products.D.They are rarely used in the implementation of marketing programs for industrial products.02.The passage suggests which of the following about direct selling?A.It is used in the marketing of most industrial products.B.It is often used in cases where there is a large program target.C.It is not economically feasible for most marketing programs.D.It is used only for products for which there are many potential customers.03.The author mentions“trousers”in paragraph1most likely in order to______.A.make a comparison between the program target and the program audienceB.emphasize the similarities between the market segment and the program targetC.provide an example of the way three groups of consumers are affected by a marketing programD.clarify the distinction between the market segment and the program target04.“the product in question”in Line5,Paragraph2means______.A.“the product in the previous question”B.“the product under discussion”C.“the product on sale”D.“the product in doubt”05.It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is true for most consumer-goods markets?A.The program target and the program audience are not usually identical.B.The program audience and the market segment are usually identical.C.The market segment and the program target are usually identical.D.The program target is larger than the market segment.Cloze TestMost economists in the United States seem captivated by the spell of the free market.__16__.A price that is determined by the seller or, for that matter,established by anyone other than the aggregate of consumers seems pernicious.__17__.In fact,price-fixing is normal in all industrialized societies because the industrial system itself provides,as an effortless consequence of its own development,the price-fixing that it requires.Modern industrial planning requires and rewards great size.Hence,a comparatively small number of large firms will be competing for the same group of consumers.That each large firm will act with consideration of its own needs and thus avoid selling its products for more than its competitors charge is commonly recognized by advocates of free-market economic theories.__18__.Each large firm will thus avoid significant price-cutting,because price-cutting would be prejudicial to the common interest in a stable demand for products. Most economists do not see price-fixing when it occurs because they expect it to be brought about by a number of explicit agreements among large firms;it is not.Moreover,those economists who argue that allowing the free market to operate without interference is the most efficient method of establishing prices have not considered the economies of non-socialist countries other than the United states.These economies employ intentional price-fixing,usually in an overt fashion.Formalprice-fixing by cartel and informal price-fixing by agreements coveringthe members of an industry are common-place.__19__,the countries thathave avoided the first and used the second would have suffereddrastically in their economic development.There is no indication thatthey have.Socialist industry also works within a framework of controlled prices.In the early1970’s,the Soviet Union began to give firms and industriessome of the flexibility in adjusting prices that a more informalevolution has accorded the capitalist system.__20__;rather,Sovietfirms have been given the power to fix prices.A.But each large firm will also act with full consideration of the needsthat it has in common with the other large firms competing for the samecustomersB.Consequently,nothing seems good or normal that does not accord withthe requirements of the free marketC.Economists in the United States have hailed the change as a returnto the free market.But Soviet firms are no more subject to pricesestablished by a free market over which they exercise little influencethan are capitalist firmsD.Accordingly,it requires a major act of will to think of price-fixing(the determination of prices by the seller)as both“normal”andhaving a valuable economic functionE.Were there something peculiarly efficient about the free market andinefficient about price-fixing-o.Part4:Writing.(30P)Write an English essay of250-300words describing Maslow’s hierarchyof human needs and analyze this model with ONE example.Your writingwill be assessed for language,format,structure and content.育明教育考研专业课第一品牌,考研信息可咨询育明教育官网政治【学科概述】不用因为政治纷繁复杂的知识点而担心政治会不过线,只要肯下功夫,60分是很容易达到的。

Although pressure to recruit women directors, unlike that to employ women in the general work force, does not derive from legislation, it is nevertheless real.Although small companies were the first to have women directors, large corporations currently have a higher percentage of women on their boards. When the chairs of these large corporations began recruiting women to serve on boards, they initially sought women who were chief executive officers (CEO’s) of large corporations. However, such women CEO’s are still rare. In additi on, the ideal of six CEO’s (female or male) serving on the board of each of the largest corporations is realizable only if every CEO serves on six boards. This raises the specter of director over-commitment and the resultant dilution of contribution. Consequently, the chairs next sought women in business who had the equivalent of CEO experience. However, since it is only recently that large numbers of women have begun to rise in management, the chairs began to recruit women of high achievement outside the business world. Many such women are well known for their contributions in government, education, and the nonprofit sector. The fact that the women from these sectors who were appointed were often acquaintances of the boards’ chairs seems quite reasonable: chairs have always considered it important for directors to interact comfortably in the boardroom.Although many successful women from outside the business world are unknown to corporate leaders, these women are particularly qualified to serve on boards because of the changing nature of corporations. Today a company’s ability to be responsive to the concerns of the community and the environment can influence that company’s growth and survival. Women are uniquely positioned to be responsive to some of these concerns. Although conditions have changed, it should be remembered that most directors of both sexes are over fifty years old. Women of that generation were often encouraged to direct their attention toward efforts to improve the community. This fact is reflected in the career development of most of the outstandinglysuccessful women of the generation now in their fifties, who currently serve on corporate boards: 25 percent are in education and 22 percent are in government, law, and the nonprofit sector.One organization of women directors is helping business become more responsive to the changing needs of society by raising the level of corporate awareness about social issues, such as problems with the economy, government regulation, the aging population, and the environment. This organization also serves as a resource center of information on accomplished women who are potential candidates for corporate boards.31. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the followingstatements about achievement of the ―ideal‖ mentioned in line 14?(A) It has only recently become a possibility.(B) It would be easier to meet if more CEO’s were women.(C) It is very close to being a reality for most corporate boards.(D) It might affect the quali ty of directors’ service to corporations.32. According to the passage, the pressure to appoint women to corporate boards differs from thepressure to employ women in the work force in which of the following ways?(A) Corporate boards are under less pressure because they have such a small number ofopenings.(B) Corporate boards have received less pressure from stockholders, consumers, and workerswithin companies to include women on their boards.(C) Corporate boards have received less pressure from the media and the public to includewomen on their boards.(D) Corporations are not subject to statutory penalty for failing to include women on theirboards.33. All of the following are examples of issues that the organization described in the lastparagraph would be likely to advise corporations on EXCEPT(A) long-term inflation(B) health and safety regulations(C) retirement and pension programs(D) how to develop new markets34. It can be inferred from the passage that, when seeking to appoint new members to acorpo ration’s board, the chair traditionally looked for candidates who(A) had legal and governmental experience(B) had experience dealing with community affairs(C) could work easily with other members of the board(D) were already involved in establishing policy for that corporation35. According to the passage, which of the following is true about women outside the businessworld who are currently serving on corporate boards?(A) Most do not serve on more than one board.(B) A large percentage will eventually work on the staff of corporations.(C) Most were already known to the chairs of the board to which they were appointed.(D) A larger percentage are from government and law than are from the nonprofit sector. Passage2In contrast to traditional analyses of minority business, the sociological analysis contends that minority business ownership is a group-level phenomenon, in that it is largely dependent upon social-group resources for its development. Specifically, this analysis indicates that support networks play a critical role in starting and maintaining minority business enterprises by providing owners with a range of assistance, from the informal encouragement of family members and friends to dependable sources of labor and clientele from the owne r’s ethnic group. Such self-help networks, which encourage and support ethnic minority entrepreneurs, consist of ―primary‖ institutions, those closest to the individual in shaping his or her behavior and beliefs. They are characterized by the face-to-face association and cooperation of persons united by ties of mutual concern. They form an intermediate social level between the individual and larger ―secondary‖ institutions based on impersonal relationships. Primary institutions comprising the support network include kinship, peer, and neighborhood or community subgroups.A major function of self-help networks is financial support. Most scholars agree that minority business owners have depended primarily on family funds and ethnic community resources for investment capital. Personal savings have been accumulated, often through frugal living habits that require sacrifices by the entire family and are thus a product of long-term family financial behavior. Additional loans and gifts from relatives, forthcoming because of group obligation rather than narrow investment calculation, have supplemented personal savings. Individual entrepreneurs do not necessarily rely on their kin because they cannot obtain financial backing from commercial resources. They may actually avoid banks because they assume that commercial institutions either cannot comprehend the special needs of minority enterprise or charge unreasonably high interest rates.Within the larger ethnic community, rotating credit associations have been used to raise capital. These associations are informal clubs of friends and other trusted members of the ethnic group who make regular contributions to a fund that is given to each contributor in rotation. One author estimates that 40 percent of New York Chinatown firms established during 1900-1950 utilized such associations as their initial source of capital. However, recent immigrants and third or fourth generations of older groups now employ rotating credit associations only occasionally to raise investment funds. Some groups, like Black Americans, found other means of financialsupport for their entrepreneurial efforts. The first Black-operated banks were created in the late nineteenth century as depositories for dues collected from fraternal or lodge groups, which themselves had sprung from Black churches. Black banks made limited investments in other Black enterprises. Irish immigrants in American cities organized many building and loan associations to provide capital for home construction and purchase. They, in turn, provided work for many Irish home-building contractor firms. Other ethnic and minority groups followed similar practices in founding ethnic-directed financial institutions.36. Based on the information in the passage, it would be LEAST likely for which of the followingpersons to be part of a self-help network?(A) The entrepreneur’s childhood friend(B) The entrepreneur’s aunt(C) The entrepreneur’s religious leader(D) The entrepreneur’s banker37.

Passage3Obamacare’s Fatal FlawObamacare, officially known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, is thehealth-insurance program enacted by US President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats over the unanimous opposition of congressional Republicans. It was designed to cover those Americans without private or public health insurance – about 15% of the US population.Opponents of Obamacare have failed to stop it in the courts and, more recently, in Congress. The program was therefore formally launched on October 1. Although it has been hampered by a wide range of computer problems and other technical difficulties, the program is likely to be operating by sometime in 2014.The big question is whether it will function as intended and survive permanently. There is a serious risk that it will not.The potentially fatal flaw in Obamacare is the very same feature that appeals most to its supporters: the ability of even those with a serious preexisting health condition to buy insurance at the standard premium.That feature will encourage those who are not ill to become or remain uninsured until they have a potentially costly medical diagnosis. The resulting shift in enrollment away from low-cost healthypatients to those with predictably high costs will raise insurance companies’ cost per insured person, driving up the premiums that they must charge. ⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽41⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽With this in mind, Obamacare’s drafters made the purchase of insurance ―mandatory.‖ More specifically, employers with more than 50 employees will be required after 2014 to purchase an approved insurance policy for their ―full-time‖ employees. Individuals who do not receive insurance from their employers are required to purchase insurance on their own, with low-income buyers receiving a government subsidy.⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽42⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽. Employers can avoid the mandate by reducing an employee’s workweek to less than 30 hours (which the law defines as full-time employment). But even for full-time employees, firms can opt to pay a relatively small fine rather than provide insurance. That fine is $2,000 per employee, much less than the current average premium of $16,000 foremployer-provided family policies.Not providing insurance and paying the fine is a particularly attractive option for a firm if its employees have incomes that entitle them to the government subsidies (which are now available to anyone whose income is below four times the poverty level). Rather than incur the cost of the premium for an approved policy, a smart employer can pay the fine for not providing insurance and increase employees’ pay by enough so that they have more spendable cash after purchasing the subsidized insurance policy. Even after both payments, employers can be better off financially. News reports indicate that many employers are already taking such steps.But the biggest danger to Obamacare’s survival is that many individuals who do not receive insurance from their employer will choose not to insure themselves and will instead pay the fine of just 1% of income (rising permanently after 2015 to 2.5%). The preferred alternative for these individuals is to wait to buy insurance until they are ill and are facing large medical bills.That wait-to-insure strategy makes sense if the medical condition is a chronic disease like diabetes or a condition requiring surgery, like cancer or a hernia. In either case, the individual would be able to purchase insurance after he or she receives the diagnosis.⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽43⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽. In those cases, the individual would not have time to purchase the health insurance that the law allows. If they are not insured in advance, they will face major hospital bills that could cause serious financial hardship or even cause them not to receive needed care. Anyonecontemplating that prospect might choose to forego the wait-to-insure strategy and enroll immediately.But private insurance companies could solve that problem by creating a new type of ―emergency insurance‖ that would make enrolling now unnecessary and allow individuals to take advantage of the wait-to-insure option. Such insurance would cover the costs that a patient would incur after a medical event that left no time to purchase the policies offered in the Obamacare insurance exchanges. Emergency insurance might also cover the cost of care until the ―open enrollment‖ period for purchasing insurance at the end of each year (if political pressure does not lead to the repeal of that temporary barrier to insurance).This type of insurance is very different from existing high-deductible policies. Given the very limited scope and unpredictable nature of the conditions that it would cover, the premium for such a policy would be very low. ⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽44⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽. But the combination of emergency insurance and the wait-to-insure strategy would still be financially preferable for many individuals, and the number would grow as premiums are driven higher.Employers with a large number of full-time employees could encourage their existing insurance companies to create the emergency policies. They might even choose to self-insure the emergency risk for their employees.The ―wait-to-insure‖ option could cause the number of insured individuals to decline rapidly as premiums rise for those who remain insured. In this scenario, the unraveling of Obamacare could lead to renewed political pressure from the left for a European-style single-payer health-care system.But it might also provide an opportunity for a better plan: eliminate the current enormously expensive tax subsidy for employer-financed insurance and use the revenue savings to subsidize everyone to buy comprehensive private insurance policies with income-related copayments.⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽45⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽.A. But what about conditions like a heart attack or injuries sustained in an automobile accident?B. It would not satisfy the broad coverage requirements that Obamacare mandates, forcing individuals to pay the relatively small penalty for being uninsured and to incur the subsequent cost of buying a full policy if one is needed later.C. That restructuring of insurance would simultaneously protect individuals, increase labor mobility, and help to control health-care costs.D. But neither the employer mandate nor the personal requirement is likely to prove effective.E. As premiums rise, even more relatively healthy individuals will be encouraged to forego insurance until illness strikes, causing average costs and premiums to rise further.Passage 4 head listings (10 points)PART THREE WRITING (30 points)Keys:PART1 SECTION11-5 BBBDD 6-10 DCDCC 11-15 DDCBA 16-20 CBCCBSECTION221-25 BADDC 26-30 ABCBA21……… , a rising interest in Native American customs and an increasing desire to understand Native American culture prompted ethnologists to begin recording the life stories of Native American.22. ……fi eld observations, and they believed that the personal stories…….23. …….. preserve for posterity as much information as…….24……… information.

Although pressure to recruit women directors, unlike that to employ women in the general work force, does not derive from legislation, it is nevertheless real.Although small companies were the first to have women directors, large corporations currently have a higher percentage of women on their boards. When the chairs of these large corporations began recruiting women to serve on boards, they initially sought women who were chief executive officers (CEO’s) of large corporations. However, such women CEO’s are still rare. In additi on, the ideal of six CEO’s (female or male) serving on the board of each of the largest corporations is realizable only if every CEO serves on six boards. This raises the specter of director over-commitment and the resultant dilution of contribution. Consequently, the chairs next sought women in business who had the equivalent of CEO experience. However, since it is only recently that large numbers of women have begun to rise in management, the chairs began to recruit women of high achievement outside the business world. Many such women are well known for their contributions in government, education, and the nonprofit sector. The fact that the women from these sectors who were appointed were often acquaintances of the boards’ chairs seems quite reasonable: chairs have always considered it important for directors to interact comfortably in the boardroom.Although many successful women from outside the business world are unknown to corporate leaders, these women are particularly qualified to serve on boards because of the changing nature of corporations. Today a company’s ability to be responsive to the concerns of the community and the environment can influence that company’s growth and survival. Women are uniquely positioned to be responsive to some of these concerns. Although conditions have changed, it should be remembered that most directors of both sexes are over fifty years old. Women of that generation were often encouraged to direct their attention toward efforts to improve the community. This fact is reflected in the career development of most of the outstandinglysuccessful women of the generation now in their fifties, who currently serve on corporate boards: 25 percent are in education and 22 percent are in government, law, and the nonprofit sector.One organization of women directors is helping business become more responsive to the changing needs of society by raising the level of corporate awareness about social issues, such as problems with the economy, government regulation, the aging population, and the environment. This organization also serves as a resource center of information on accomplished women who are potential candidates for corporate boards.31. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the followingstatements about achievement of the ―ideal‖ mentioned in line 14?(A) It has only recently become a possibility.(B) It would be easier to meet if more CEO’s were women.(C) It is very close to being a reality for most corporate boards.(D) It might affect the quali ty of directors’ service to corporations.32. According to the passage, the pressure to appoint women to corporate boards differs from thepressure to employ women in the work force in which of the following ways?(A) Corporate boards are under less pressure because they have such a small number ofopenings.(B) Corporate boards have received less pressure from stockholders, consumers, and workerswithin companies to include women on their boards.(C) Corporate boards have received less pressure from the media and the public to includewomen on their boards.(D) Corporations are not subject to statutory penalty for failing to include women on theirboards.33. All of the following are examples of issues that the organization described in the lastparagraph would be likely to advise corporations on EXCEPT(A) long-term inflation(B) health and safety regulations(C) retirement and pension programs(D) how to develop new markets34. It can be inferred from the passage that, when seeking to appoint new members to acorpo ration’s board, the chair traditionally looked for candidates who(A) had legal and governmental experience(B) had experience dealing with community affairs(C) could work easily with other members of the board(D) were already involved in establishing policy for that corporation35. According to the passage, which of the following is true about women outside the businessworld who are currently serving on corporate boards?(A) Most do not serve on more than one board.(B) A large percentage will eventually work on the staff of corporations.(C) Most were already known to the chairs of the board to which they were appointed.(D) A larger percentage are from government and law than are from the nonprofit sector. Passage2In contrast to traditional analyses of minority business, the sociological analysis contends that minority business ownership is a group-level phenomenon, in that it is largely dependent upon social-group resources for its development. Specifically, this analysis indicates that support networks play a critical role in starting and maintaining minority business enterprises by providing owners with a range of assistance, from the informal encouragement of family members and friends to dependable sources of labor and clientele from the owne r’s ethnic group. Such self-help networks, which encourage and support ethnic minority entrepreneurs, consist of ―primary‖ institutions, those closest to the individual in shaping his or her behavior and beliefs. They are characterized by the face-to-face association and cooperation of persons united by ties of mutual concern. They form an intermediate social level between the individual and larger ―secondary‖ institutions based on impersonal relationships. Primary institutions comprising the support network include kinship, peer, and neighborhood or community subgroups.A major function of self-help networks is financial support. Most scholars agree that minority business owners have depended primarily on family funds and ethnic community resources for investment capital. Personal savings have been accumulated, often through frugal living habits that require sacrifices by the entire family and are thus a product of long-term family financial behavior. Additional loans and gifts from relatives, forthcoming because of group obligation rather than narrow investment calculation, have supplemented personal savings. Individual entrepreneurs do not necessarily rely on their kin because they cannot obtain financial backing from commercial resources. They may actually avoid banks because they assume that commercial institutions either cannot comprehend the special needs of minority enterprise or charge unreasonably high interest rates.Within the larger ethnic community, rotating credit associations have been used to raise capital. These associations are informal clubs of friends and other trusted members of the ethnic group who make regular contributions to a fund that is given to each contributor in rotation. One author estimates that 40 percent of New York Chinatown firms established during 1900-1950 utilized such associations as their initial source of capital. However, recent immigrants and third or fourth generations of older groups now employ rotating credit associations only occasionally to raise investment funds. Some groups, like Black Americans, found other means of financialsupport for their entrepreneurial efforts. The first Black-operated banks were created in the late nineteenth century as depositories for dues collected from fraternal or lodge groups, which themselves had sprung from Black churches. Black banks made limited investments in other Black enterprises. Irish immigrants in American cities organized many building and loan associations to provide capital for home construction and purchase. They, in turn, provided work for many Irish home-building contractor firms. Other ethnic and minority groups followed similar practices in founding ethnic-directed financial institutions.36. Based on the information in the passage, it would be LEAST likely for which of the followingpersons to be part of a self-help network?(A) The entrepreneur’s childhood friend(B) The entrepreneur’s aunt(C) The entrepreneur’s religious leader(D) The entrepreneur’s banker37. Which of the following illustrates the working of a self-help support network, as suchnetworks are described in the passage?(A) A public high school offers courses in book-keeping and accounting as part of itsopen-enrollment adult education program.(B) The local government in a small city sets up a program that helps teen-agers find summerjobs.(C) A major commercial bank offers low-interest loans to experienced individuals who hopeto establish their own businesses.(D) A neighborhood-based fraternal organization develops a program of on-the-job trainingfor its members and their friends.38. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about rotating credit associations?(A) They were developed exclusively by Chinese immigrants.(B) They accounted for a significant portion of the investment capital used by Chineseimmigrants in New York in the early twentieth century.(C) Third-generation members of an immigrant group who started businesses in the 1920’swould have been unlikely to rely on them.(D) They were frequently joint endeavors by members of two or three different ethnic groups.39. The passage best supports which of the following statements?(A) A minority entrepreneur who had no assistance from family members would not be ableto start a business.(B) Self-help networks have been effective in helping entrepreneurs primarily in the last 50years.(C) Minority groups have developed a range of alternatives to standard financing of businessventures.(D) The financial institutions founded by various ethnic groups owe their success to theirunique formal organization.40. Which of the following best describes the organization of the second paragraph?(A) An argument is delineated, followed by a counter-argument.(B) An assertion is made and several examples are provided to illustrate it.(C) A situation is described and its historical background is then outlined.(D) An example of a phenomenon is given and is then used as a basis for general conclusions.

Microsoft is the latest to make headlines with a tale of woe, in the form of a $140m tax fee paid to Chinese authorities. (Microsoft prefers to call it a $140m “bilateral advanced pricing agreement”). This comes on top of an antitrust investigation launched in July and this week’s news that one of China’s largest companies is switching its email service away from Microsoft.12. Due to rampant piracy, Microsoft’s revenues in China have never been very big (about the same size as revenues in the Netherlands). Microsoft’s overall revenues rose 25 per cent last quarter, year on year, despite the “more challenging environment”reported in China and Russia.13. Cisco’s sales in China have halved during the past two years, driven by a backlash after the Snowden revelations and by the increasing capabilities of Chinese equipment manufacturers like Huawei. IBM’s China revenues are falling too, the company disclosed last quarter –on top of a 22 per cent year-on-year drop in the comparable quarter last year. IBM said a tough hardware market was to blame. The company will exit part of that business with the sale of its x86 server business to Lenovo, a deal that closed in October.Then there’s Qualcomm, which partners with Chinese manufacturers who produce its chips; the company says one-fifth of its licensed 3G/4G devices are going unreported (which means no licence fees). The company is having trouble resolving these disputes because it is simultaneously the subject of a Chinese antitrust investigation.14. IT spend in China may grow at per cent next year, as forecast by IDC, to the US’s per cent, but given the size of their respective markets –the US is three.答案是11 D 12 B 13 C 14A第四篇阅读题源Even at 25 years’distance from that world-changing event, the fall of the Berlin Wall, what inspires admiration is the civilised manner in which the people of Poland, Hungary, East Germany and Czechoslovakia –____15_______–dismantled communist regimes that had oppressed them since the late 1940s.The peaceful change that underpinned the rebirth of Poland and Hungary, the unification of East and West Germany in 1990 and Czechoslovakia’s “velvet divorce”in 1993 into separate Czech and Slovak states was a precondition for each country’s success. Where violence accompanied the end of communism, as in the former Yugoslavia, ___16 ________.The collective term “eastern Europe”made little sense in the communist era, given the conspicuous differences in each country’s history, economy, ethnic composition, one-party system and relationship with Moscow. It makes even less sense today –______17 _______with Nato and the EU, of which they are members or partners.As David Lipton, the International Monetary Fund’s first deputy managing director, says in 25 Years of Transition, an IMF report: “After years of isolation from the western economic system, and after the distortions and deprivations of the communist system, most citizens just wanted to live in a normal country with a normal economy and, ____18____, that vision was captured in the allure of integrating with western Europe.”Not everything is “normal”in the region. Per capita gross domestic product in Poland, which in some respects is?the star economic performer, is slightly more than half that of Germany.

2014年对外经济贸易大学翻译硕士考研真题解析及答案第四次:20世纪50~70年代原因:①第三次科技革命的推动;②发达国家利用国际经济旧秩序,加强对第三世界的掠夺;③雅尔塔体系的确立,在一定时期内使世界局势相对安定;④国家垄断资本主义的空前发展。
特点:日本、西欧发展迅速,美国经济霸主地位动摇。
影响:①70年代,美、日、欧三足鼎立的经济格局形成;②西方大国利用雄厚的经济实力,加强对第三世界国家的干预;③使世界各国经济联系日益密切,科教在国际竞争中的战略地位日益突出8、资本主义经济危机资本主义经济危机是指资本主义经济发展过程中周期性爆发的社会经济大混乱,其基本特征是生产相对过剩。
其原因是生产的社会化和私人资本占有制之间的矛盾,表现在个别企业生产的有组织性和整个社会生产的无政府状态之间的矛盾,以及生产无限扩大的趋势同劳动群众购买力相对萎缩的矛盾,危机是上述矛盾尖锐化的必然结果,其根源在于资本主义制度本身。
经济危机的破坏性极强:大量商品积压,企业倒闭,生产下降,失业人数急剧增加,危机期间,真个社会生活陷入极端混乱和瘫痪状态。
世界性经济危机发生的条件:①参与国际市场竞争的国家已经达到相当数量,并散步于世界各地。
②这些国家的工业生产已经在国民经济中占据主导地位。
③这些国家的商品在国际市场上已经占有一定份额并影响到殖民地、半殖民地。
④这些国家的对外贸易已经对全国经济具有举足轻重的地位。

欧洲中心舞台的确立和延续:欧洲资本主义最发达,国际关系的中心舞台在欧洲。
欧洲列强之间为争夺欧洲霸权和世界殖民霸权展开激烈的角逐和斗争,最终导致一战爆发。
①15世纪~17世纪下半期:新航路的开辟,早期殖民扩张;矛盾:西欧国家与亚非拉殖民地的矛盾;②17世纪下半期~18世纪中期:英荷战争、英法战争;西欧国家争夺殖民霸权、英殖民霸权的建立;矛盾:从英荷矛盾到英法矛盾。
③18世纪下半期~19世纪中期:拿破仑战争、反法同盟、维也纳体系、克里米亚战争、美国扩张;列强积极争夺世界殖民霸权和欧洲霸权;矛盾:从英法矛盾到英俄矛盾。
④19世纪晚期至一战:两大军事集团、第一次大世界战、美建立西半球霸权;帝国主义重新瓜分殖民地和争夺世界霸权;矛盾:从法德矛盾到英德矛盾2、第二时期:一战后至二战期间。
欧洲中心舞台的动摇和转移:美国势力大大增强,欧洲势力削弱,十月革命与苏联的诞生从根本上动摇了旧的国际秩序,国际关系中心从欧洲向两侧转移。
⑤一战后,帝国主义国家继续争霸,英美之间的争夺成为全球主要矛盾,在欧洲,法国同英美相互对立,在远东,日美英三国斗争,日美争夺激烈,但这一时期斗争方式由战场较量转到和会的谈判桌上,巴黎和会、华盛顿会议,帝国主义战后分赃,确立国际统治新秩序;帝国主义与苏联的关系,先是干涉苏俄、两种制度军事冲突,后转到和平共处。
矛盾:帝国主义之间的矛盾,两种社会制度的矛盾、东西方矛盾。
⑥20世纪30年代:德日扩张、英法美绥靖、局部战争、大战爆发;法西斯势力崛起,世界战争危险日近;矛盾:从帝国主义之间矛盾到世界人民与法西斯的矛盾。
3、第三时期:二战后至今,经历了两极对峙向多极化演变的趋势。
⑦20世纪40~50年代:反法西斯同盟、雅尔塔体系、联合国、美国为首的帝国主义阵营与苏联为首的社会主义阵营的形成、冷战、朝鲜战争;不同意识形态国家从对立到联合,又从联合走向对抗;矛盾:从同盟国、轴心国矛盾到北约、华约矛盾,⑧60年代~70年代:美苏争霸、两大阵营开始解体,美欧日三足鼎立、第三世界兴起;从两大阵营到三个世界;矛盾:从美苏矛盾到南北矛盾。
⑨从80年代至今:第三世界发展,殖民体系崩溃、苏东剧变、两极格局全面崩溃,多极格局发展;世界政治格局进入从两极格局向多极格局发展的过渡时期;矛盾:霸权主义与反霸权主义的矛盾。
二、国际关系格局的演变⑴维也纳体系(略)⑵凡尔赛—华盛顿体系①建立:一战后,战胜国先后召开巴黎和会与华盛顿会议,签订了一系列条约,构成了凡尔赛—华盛顿体系。
其内容包括:巴黎和会与华盛顿会议上签订的回顾的理论性。
总结应当忠实于自身工作实践活动,但是,总结不是工作实践活动的记录,不能完全照搬工作实践活动的全过程。
它是对工作实践活动的本质概括,要在回顾工作实践活动全过程的基础上,进行分析研究,归纳出能够反映事物本质的规律,把感性认识上升到理性认识,这正是总结的价值所在。
三、总结的分类根据内容的不同,可以把总结分为工作总结、生产总结、学习总结、教学总结、会议总结等等。
根据范围的不同,可以分为全国性总结、地区性总结、部门性总结、本单位总结、班组总结等。
根据时间的不同,可以分为月总结、季总结、年度总结、阶段性总结等。
从内容和性质的不同,可以分为全面总结和专题总结两类。
四、总结的结构、内容和写法总结一般由标题、正文和尾部三部分组成。
(一)标题。
总结的标题大体上有两类构成形式:一类是公文式标题;一类是非公文式标题。
公文式标题由单位名称、时间、事由、文种组成,如《××集团公司2000年度思想政治工作总结》、《××县2000年普法工作总结》,有的只写《工作总结》等。
非公文式标题则比较灵活,有的为双行标题,如《增强体质,全面贯彻执行教育方针——开展多种形式的体育活动》,有的为单行标题,如《推动人才交流,培植人才资源》等。
(二)正文。
总结正文的结构由前言、主体、结尾组成。
1、前言。
即正文的开头,一般简明扼要地概述基本情况,交代背景,点明主旨或说明成绩,为主体内容的展开做必要的铺垫。
例如:“群众富不富,关键在支部;干部强不强,关键在班长”。
能否选配好支部“一把手”,是加强农村基层党组织建设的核心。
在工作中,我们积极围绕支部班子建设这个重点,紧紧抓住配好支部书记这个关键,着力走好“选人”、“育人”、“用人”这三步棋,努力把工作引向深入。
2、主体。
这是总结的核心部分,其内容包括做法和体会,成绩和问题,经验和教训等。
这一部分要求在全面回顾工作情况的基础上,深刻、透彻地分析取得成绩的原因、条件、做法、以及存在问题的根源和教训,揭示工作中带有规律性的东西。
回顾要全面,分析要透彻。
不同类型的总结,内容有所侧重,全面性总结其主体包括两个层次,即成绩和经验,存在的问题和教训。
对于一般的工作总结,重点放在成绩和经验上。
总结正文的结构,主要采用逻辑结构形式。
全面性总结根据过去一段工作中的成绩和问题,或者经验和教训的内在联系去组织材料。
专题性总结以经验为轴心去组织材料。
3、结尾。
可以概述全文,可以说明好经验带来的效果,可以提出今后努力方向或改进意见。
例如:通过上述工作,促使支部书记和班子整体作用的发挥。
不少村支部书记提出“任职一届、致富一方”,也出现了一批“舍小家,顾大家”的支部书记先进典型。
(三)尾部。
包括署名和时间两项内容。
如果标题中已有署名,这里可不再写。
五、撰写总结应注意的问题(一)首先要有实事求是的态度。
工作总结中,常常出现两种倾向:一种是好大喜功,搞浮夸,只讲成绩,不谈问题;另一种是将总结写成了“检讨书”,把工作说成一无是处。
这两种都不是实事求是的态度。
总结的特点之一“回顾的理论性”,正是反映在如实地、一分为二地分析、评价自己的工作上,对成绩,不要夸大;对问题,不要轻描淡写。
(二)总结要写得有理论价值。
一方面,要抓主要矛盾,无论谈成绩或谈存在问题,都不要面面俱到。
另一方面,对主要矛盾要进行深入细致的分析,谈成绩要写清怎么做的,为什么这样做,效果如何,经验是什么;谈存在问题,要写清是什么问题,为什么会出现这种问题,其性质是什么,教训是什么。
这样的总结,才能对前一段的工作有所反思,并由感性认识上升到理性认识。
(三)总结要用第一人称。
即要从本单位、本部门的角度来撰写。
表达方式以叙述、议论为主,说明为辅,可以夹叙夹议。
调查报告,就是单位或个人把对某个问题调查的情况,向有关领导部门或群众报告。
它是对客观存在的事物有目的进行深入细致的实地调查,通过各种方法和途径,掌握大量的情况和材料,然后作认真的分析研究,努力找出事物的本质,弄清它的发展规律,有根有据地写成的报告。
调查报告所反映的对象,可以是某一事、某一人、某一单位、某一方面的情况,也可以是揭示经验或揭露问题。
调查报告的种类很多,大致可以分为:典型经验的调查,揭露问题和矛盾的调查,某一事物历史沿革的调查,新情况新事物的调查,以及基本情况的调查等等。
不同类型的调查报告,写法不尽相同,大体情况是:(1)标题,主要有三种形式:公文式标题。
一般由介词"关于"加调查事由、文种组成,如《关于农村基层党组织情况的调查报告》。
也有的省略介词"关于"和文种,如《农民负担情况调查》。
正副式标题。
正题揭示调查报告中心思想,副题说明调查的事由或调查范围,并写明"调查报告"或"调查"字样。
文章式标题。
这类调查报告的标题比较灵活,标题中不写出"调查报告"或"调查"的字样。
有的是概括出调查报告的基本内容,如《带领村民共同致富的坚强战斗堡垒》;有的是采取提问的形式,如《这里的干群关系为什么这样好?》。
(2)开头,各类调查报告的开头,主要有以下写法:第一,交代调查本身情况。
包括调查的起因、调查的内容、调查的对象和范围等。
第二,交代调查对象情况。
包括被调查者各方面的概况或有关自然情况等。
第三,对全文内容作出概括。
包括点出调查报告的结论性意见或主要经验等。
