[2011.05.26]Time for a change 改变的时刻Why a euro-zone finance minister, even a talented one, should not lead the IMF为什么欧元区的财政部长，即使能力超群，也不应该入主国际货币基金组织OFFICIALL Y the search for a new head of the IMF, to replace Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who awaits trial on charges of sexual assault, has barely begun. The fund’s member governments have until June 10th to propose candidates, after which a shortlist will be drawn up. But in practice the race seems all but over. That is because European countries, which hold over a third of the votes on the IMF’s board, have rallied around a single contender: France’s finance minister, Christine Lagarde.原国际货币基金组织（IMF）总裁多米尼克•斯特劳斯-卡恩目前因面临性侵犯指控留监候审。

从正式角度讲，该组织寻找新老板来接替卡恩的工作才刚刚开始。

IMF的成员国政府要到6月10日才会提名候选人，最后候选人名单将随后出炉。

但实际上，这场角逐看似已近尾声，因为拥有IMF三分之一以上投票权的欧洲国家都力挺一个竞争者：法国财政部长克里斯蒂娜•拉加德。

In contrast, emerging economies,which have long argued that the fund should have a non-European boss, have so far conspicuously failed to fix on an alternative candidate. The Americans, kingmakers in this contest, have said little in public but in private seem happy with Ms Lagarde, not least because they hope to keep both the deputy’s job at the fund and the presidency of the World Bank. Barring embarrassments, one French politician is likely to succeed another.恰恰相反的是，新兴经济体一直嚷嚷着该组织应该推选一位非欧洲籍的总裁，但很明显的是，他们至今未能物色到其他候选人。

2016考研英语阅读热点：欧元区和希腊说分手不容易

The outbreak of the first world war was, we are told,greeted with confidence and jubilation by thepeoples of Europe. Something similar seems to behappening after years of economic crisis and politicalturmoil in Greece. A growing number of people feelthat enough is now enough. The strident viewsexpressed in these pages by the Italian economist,Francesco Giavazzi, **are shared by many in highoffice. Meanwhile, Alexis Tsipras, the Greek primeminister, accuses Greece’s creditors of “pillaging” hiscountry. 据说，一战爆发时，欧洲各国民众自信而喜悦地欢呼这个消息。

在经过多年的希腊经济危机和政治动荡之后，现在似乎在发生类似的事情。

越来越多的人觉得，情况已忍无可忍。

意大利经济学家弗朗西斯科?贾瓦齐(Francesco Giavazzi)在本报表达的尖锐观点，在高层引发了很多同感。

与此同时，希腊总理亚历克西斯?齐普拉斯(Alexis Tsipras)指责希腊债权人“掠夺”他的国家。

Olivier Blanchard, the International Monetary Fund’s sober chief economist, indicates that a dealmight still be reached. But many are beginning to long to see the knot cut. Whatever game theGreeks thought they were playing, their government may now just desire an end to thehumiliation. Similarly, whatever game the eurogroup may have been playing, it may now justwant an end to the frustration. If so, Greek default, exit and devaluation could be fairly close. 国际货币基金组织(IMF)一向头脑清醒的首席经济学家奥利维尔?布兰查德(Olivier Blanchard)暗示，仍有可能达成协议。

The covid-19pandemic puts pressure on the EU新冠疫情之下，欧盟压力重重An old question has resurfaced:what is the point of the bloc?人们再次提出了那个个由来已久的问题：欧盟的意义何在？In January Brussels was an optimistic place.The European Union(EU)had survived a decade that included the near collapse of the bloc’s currency, a refugee crisis and its second-largest economy,Britain,voting to leave. For the first time in years,officials had time to think of the future rather than clear up the messes of the past.Then120,000people died.今年1月，布鲁塞尔（欧盟总部所在地）还是着一片乐观的景象。

欧盟经历了十年的风风雨雨（包括欧元危机、难民危机以及第二大经济体英国的全民公投脱欧）。

这么多年来，欧盟的官员们终于有空去思考欧盟的未来，而不用再忙着去收拾过去的烂摊子了。

然而，新冠肺炎疫情随即爆发，欧盟各国12万人丧生。

Sweeping lockdowns confined citizens to their homes,in Paris and Warsaw alike.A bloc that prided itself on removing borders—“the scars of history”in the words of Josep Borrell,the European Commission’s foreign-policy chief—reintroduced them in muters were stranded at Poland’s borders with both Lithuania and Germany,some of them for days.在巴黎和华沙，全面封锁政策使得人们只能待在家中。

2017考研英语历史学类阅读理解模拟题及答案(五)

2017考研英语历史学类阅读理解模拟题及答案（五）Europe is often one of the first places people think of when racism is discussed. From the institutionalized racism ， especially in colonial times ， when racial beliefs —even eugenics —were not considered something wrong ， to recent times where the effects of neo-Nazism is still felt. Europe is a complex area with many cultures in a relatively small area of land that has seen many conflicts throughout history. (Note that most of these conflicts have had trade and resource access at their core ， but national identities have often added fuel to some of these conflicts.)Racism has also been used to justify exploitation ， even using “pseudo-science ”。

Debates over the origins of racism often suffer from a lack of clarity over the term. Many conflate recent forms of racism with earlier forms of ethnic and national conflict. In most cases ethnic-national conflict seems to owe to conflict over land and strategic resources. In some cases ethnicity and nationalism were harnessed to wars between great religious empires (for example ， the Muslim Turks and the Catholic Austro-Hungarians)。

Now theCullinan mine itself, like so many of the diamonds unearthed there, is about tochange hands. On November 22nd De Beers, the diamond giant that has owned themine since 1930, said it was selling it to a consortium led by Petra Diamonds,one of South Africa’s emerging diamond producers, for 1 billion rand in cash. Providedregulators approve the deal, the transfer should take place by the middle ofnext year.De Beers isselling because the mine is no longer profitable, despite attempts to turn itaround. But Petra reckons the mine still has another 20 years of production init and plans to extract at least 1m carats a year. The unexploited"Centenary Cut" deposit, which lies under the existing mine, couldyield a lot more. This is good news for the mine’s 1,000 or so employees and forthe town, which has depended on the diamond business since Sir Thomas Cullinandiscovered a prospect there in 1898 that contained kimberlite, a rock that canbe rich in diamonds. The mine, established in 1903, is one of 30 or sokimberlite diamond mines in the world, and is believed to be still the world’s second-most-valuable diamondresourcePetra is arelatively small outfit, listed on London’s Alternative Investment Market,that specialises in buying mines that bigger companies see as marginal. Itstrick is to extract better returns by rationalising production and processing,and keepingoperating costs and overheads down. Petra has already bought two ofDe Beers’s loss-making South African mines-both of which are now profitable-and isfinalising the 78.5m rand acquisition of the group’s underground operation in Kimberley,which stopped working in 2005.It alreadyoperates four mines in South Africa and has promising exploration in Angola (ajoint-venture with BHP Billiton), Sierra Leone and Botswana. Petra expects toproduce over 1m carats by 2010-quite a jump from 180,474 carats in the year toJune. The company has yet to make a profit, but expects to be making money bythe middle of next year.In the 1990sDe Beers decided that it was no longer a good idea to try to monopolise thediamond market. It started focusing on higher returns rather than market share,and has been revamping its mine portfolio, selling off mines that are no longerprofitable and investing in more enticing operations, such as its mine off thewest coast of South Africa, its Voorspoed operation in the Free State province,and two new mines in Canada.This hasopened the way for a new class of diamond firm that operates in the vast middleground between the world’s handful of large producers and a multitude of much smaller explorationfirms. The Cullinan deal should entrench Petra in this middle tier, alongsidefirms such as Kimberley Diamond and Trans Hex. But even if it does reach itstarget of 1m carats a year, Petra will still not be able to match the sparkleof the giants. Last year De Beers produced 51m carats from its mines inBotswana, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania, which amounted to 40% of theworld’s diamonds by va lue.1.

We must pay the cost of carbon if we are to cut it让每一个人都有减排的动力Shouldn’t we be doing more to respond to the climate emergency? It’s a natural question to ask. But, perhaps, we should turn the question around, and ask: why haven’t we solved the climate change problem already?为了应对气候紧急状态，我们难道不应该多做一点事情？这是个很自然的问题。

然而，也许我们应该反过来问：为什么我们还没有解决气候变化问题？Economics suggests a ready answer: externalities. Unfortunately, the concept of externalities is a century old, and it shows. So why do economists persist in using this dusty old term, and is it still useful?经济学给出了一个现成的答案：外部性。

可是，外部性的概念存在了一个世纪之久，而且得到了印证。

那么，经济学家们为什么还要使用这个陈旧的术语呢？它是否仍然有用？An externality is a cost — or sometimes, a benefit — that is not borne by either the buyer or the seller of a product. And, if neither has to bear the cost, neither has much reason to care.外部性是一种成本（有时是一种好处），是产品的买方和卖方都无需承担的成本。

2017年MBA英语阅读理解冲刺练习题带答案（3）

2017年MBA英语阅读理解冲刺练习题带答案（3）Text 3Europe is not a gender-equality heaven.In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family—friendly until women are part of senior management decisions,and Europe,s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male .indeed,women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to 60 percent.This proposed mandate was born of frustration. Last year, Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership. But her appeal was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family?“Personally, I don’t like quotas,” Reding said recently. “But i like what the quotas do.” Quotas get action: they “open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,”according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Reding’s reluctance-and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, government by the capable. But, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position— no matter how m uch “soft pressure ” is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power--as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women---whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers--and all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36. In the European corporate workplace, generally_____.[A] women take the lead[B] men have the final say[C] corporate governance is overwhelmed[D] senior management is family-friendly37. The European Union’s intended legislation is ________.[A] a reflection of gender balance[B] a reluctant choice[C] a response to Reding’s call[D] a voluntary action38. According ti Reding, quotas may help women ______.[A] get top business positions[B] see through the glass ceiling[C] balance work and family[D] anticipate legal results39. The author’s attitude toward Reding’s appeal is one of _________.[A] skepticism[B] objectiveness[C] indifference[D] approval40. Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of ______.[A] more social justice[B] massive media attention[C] suitable public policies[D] greater “soft pressure”参考答案与解析36.【答案】B men have the final say【解析】根据题干中的关键词European corporate workplace，定位到文章的第一段.第一句话就明确指出欧洲不是一个性别平等的天堂。

2017年考研英语一阅读真题答案解析：英国脱欧

2017年考研英语⼀阅读真题答案解析：英国脱欧 2017年考研英语考试已经结束!店铺考研⽹在考后第⼀时间为⼤家提供2017年考研英语⼀阅读真题答案解析：英国脱欧，更多考研资讯请关注我们⽹站的更新! 2017年考研英语⼀阅读真题答案解析：英国脱欧第三篇⽂章，⼤家都押到了，但是押到题没有任何意义，⼤家都会押题。

政治上也说英国脱欧，政治单选题考了。

英语也说要考，英国脱欧是⼀件⼤事，但是这个预测没有意义。

⽽且这篇⽂章没有讲英国脱欧，讲了英国脱欧这件事，但是真正主题是在GDP，GDP不是衡量⼀个国家是否伟⼤、国民是否幸福的⽬标。

这个⽂章看懂了这点就好办。

第⼀道题要选GDP有关的选项。

表⾯是肯尼迪说的话，但是是说GDP不是很重要。

⽽且应该上下⽂联合起来。

因为肯尼迪是个例⼦，我们基础班、强化班、冲刺班都说了，⼤写的像例⼦要根据上下⽂选。

并不是表扬英国GDP⾼，也不是为了批评，⽽是说GDP没有⼤家想象那么重要。

所以要选D。

对GDP看法不是很⾼。

32题，第⼆⾃然段来的，问能得出什么来。

GDP作为⼀个测量成功的⼀种⽅式⽅法在英国受到了挑战。

通过政治可以做对的。

英国两次脱欧都是脱欧，我不想和你们玩了，你们经济利益绑架太多了。

我不玩了。

相当于⼀道政治题。

只能说押到两分。

不能说押到了⼗分。

第33题最近研究显⽰出什么?最近研究显⽰出GDP并不是你想象那么有⽤的。

不能反应出国民幸福指数，选启发性的，这样有点全⾯概括。

34题最后两段得出什么，这个东西是必要的，GDP还是关健词，主题词。

按照冲刺班⾥说的，最后两段得出什么?主题更重要，我们BC选项有GDP，选C，要考虑GDP之外的因素。

35题，问这篇⽂章最好的标题是什么?还是要跟GDP有关，所以我们这道题最不应该选D选项。

另外还要说英国，英国脱欧这个概念。

我们应该选A选项。

因为既说了UK，⼜说了GDP。

我们基础不好的同学蒙这道题也要蒙A选项。

⾼的GDP，没有让我们福利、幸福指数增加。

Since OPEC agreed to supply-cutsin March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up fromless than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scarymemories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-1980, whenthey also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digitinflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning ofgloom and doom this time? The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraqsuspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time aswinter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in theshort term。

Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences nowto be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oilnow accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, soeven quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pumpprices than in the past。
