Along its two dusty lanes, local trucks and buses jockey with Cadillacs driven by financiers from Taiwan and Hong Kong investors. Migrant workers crowd the narrow shoulders. Factories line the highway, producing sneakers, toys, plastics, clothes, aircraft components and medical equipment. Eventually industry gives way to ricefields, which is being dug up to build still more factories. Cranes turn overhead as dump trucks and cement mixers nose onto the road. Outside the town of Jiading, one tractor-trailer leaves Asia’s largest container plant every three minutes, carrying goods bound for the Shanghai docks.36. What does “it” in the first sentence refer to? What does the sentence “the local trucks and buses jockey withCadillacs” imply?37. What do “eventually” and “give way to” mean respectively in the passage?38. Where is the biggest container plant in Asia situated? Where are the tractor-trailors going?Passage 2Gold: lower. after coming in for early support on news of strike action affecting mines belonging to gold fields of South Africa, values declined in line with platinum and New York advices as miners were encouraged to return to work by management promises of negotiation. The fall in oil prices also brought pressure to bear but good resistance at around the 400 dollars per ounce level permitted a brief rally. However, values suffered a late decline to below 400 dollars per ounce in line with New York as the dollar strengthened on news of a decline in the U.S. budget trade and a cut in the bank of Japan’s discount rate.39. W hat were “New York advices”?40. What happened to the gold price when the dollar strengthened?41. What brought about the strength of the dollar according to the passage?五、正误判断题（本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）Passage 1Every market activity is an investment in time, energy and money. Few companies would spend a large sum of money on, say, a purchase of capital equipment without a full investigation into why it is needed, the choices available, and the expected return. Yet every year the vast majority of companies invest a large amount of money in marketing actions without knowing what their financial worth to the company or likely return will be. By introducing the disciplines arising from market planning, a company should be able to ensure that the costs of marketing planning show a reasonable return and are calculated in the same way as all other business investments.Many managers believe that the costs of marketing form an additional expense. Whilst it is true that many companies use certain tools of marketing for this purpose, it is also true that the most successful companies accept marketing as an essential part of the company’s total commercial operation, for it is an essential cost in the same way as production or finance.Companies often avoid planning marketing procedures in detail because of the effort needed to express their forward policy in a written form. In fact, the manager who spends his time on dealing with current administrative detail is almost certain to have ignored proper planning in the past. For, if properly prepared, the marketing plan will contain sufficient details of the company’s policy and operational strategy for the work to be done by an assistant.For a marketing-oriented activity to produce lasting results, the entire operation has to be systematically planned. By producing basic information in written form and establishing aims for the future, the company is creating standards against which actual performance can be measured. Documentation of detailed policy actions then provides the basis for controlling the company’s operation. Future trends may be predicted through the investigation of all factors likely to influence company results.42. The purpose of this article is to discuss every market activity. ( )43. It is reasonable for companies to expect return for their expense in marketing.( ) 44. The most successful companies believe that marketing forms an additional expense.( )45. In order to make a good marketing plan, it is necessary to focus on current administrative detail. ( )46. As marketing creates standards to measure actual performance, it will produce lasting results.( )Passage 2Apart from the various subsidies governments offer to their exporters, governments also refund to their exporters the product tax, the import tariff of the components of the exported finished products. This is justifiable as they are finally to be borne by the customers in the importing nations and so the funding is not taken as a kind of subsidy. Now the average product tax refunding rate of the exported products in China is about lower than 10%.Developing nations can also adjust down the exchange rate of their currencies with foreign currencies to encourage export. This is sometimes very effective because it means to reduce prices of their goods in foreign markets. But this will also mean great loss in paying off the foreign loans and shatter the standing of their currencies in international financial markets.Nations also negotiate among themselves to ease the trade among them. They might reach various trade agreements. The present trend is regional economic integration, of which the first stage is free trade area, within which the international flow of goods is free of tariff imposition. North American Free Trade Area is such an instance. The second stage is tariff union, within which the countries not only adopt free trade policy but also united tariff system. Caribbean Community is such an example. The third stage is common market, which is more integrated in that it also allows free flow of labor and capital within this area. Finally, there is economic union, which requires its member countries to adopt uniform economic systems, such as those in finance and social welfare. They will also use the same currency.47. Product tax is a kind of government subsidy.( )48. The customers who buy the imported goods from China pay 10% less of the tariff.( ) 49. By lowering the exchange rate of its currency, the country can market its goods at a lower price in the importing country. ( )50. Adjusting down the exchange rate will sometimes make the currency less strong.( ) 51. All the forms of economic integration across the border aim at keeping trade balances.( ) 六、翻译题（本大题12分）Clearly, China’s 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 billion —no 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 204—unpredictable. 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 per cent of China’s industrial production.。

The strongest signal came last week，when Mickey Kanter，(the U.S. trade representative), moved quickly to cite the 12-nation European Community for (“intolerable”discrimination against U.S. companies)seeking government contracts withinthe community. The administrationwill begin retaliating in six weeks ifEC policies remain unchanged.最强的信号来自于上周，美国贸易代表米奇·凯特引用欧共体的话指出，12国欧共体谋求共同体内部的政府间合同是对美国公司的“令人无法忍受的”歧视。
凯特先生说，如果欧共体一意孤行，美国政府将于六周后开始报复。
2. Administration officials see littlerisk that this more aggressive policycould escalate into a full-fledged tradewar that would shock the world'sfragile economies. Thus，theadministration will not be deterred bycomplaints that it has moved to“protectionism”.对于这种更加大胆的政策会升级为震动世界脆弱经济的全面贸易战争，政府官员认为这种危险的可能性很小，因此虽有人抱怨美国已趋向“贸易保护主义”，政府不会受其阻碍。
3.In some ways, Mr. Clinton and hisadvisers are following the samewell-trod path as the Bushadministration，which threatenedsanctions against the Community lastyear and walked away from GATTnegotiations rather than sign anagreement that would provide onlysmall gains for U.S. companies.从某种程度上，克林顿先生和他的顾问们正在走一条人们熟悉的与布什政府相同的路。
布什政府去年曾威胁对欧共体实行制裁，并退出了关贸总协定的谈判，没有答署只会给美国公司带来小量收益的协定。
4. Once, when Japan faced pressurefrom abroad, it would either give inreluctantly or keep quiet and hope thatthe fuss would die down. No longer, itseems. The Clinton administrationstrongly believes in exerting suchpressure. Its policy is to open someJapanese markets (which it deems tobe closed) by setting importtargets—an approach to trade policythat supporters call “results-oriented”.This ugly term foreshadows uncertainconsequences. Far from capitulatingto this new thrust of American tradepolicy, Japan is taking a stand thatcould lead to a trans-pacificconfrontation.从前，日本面对外来压力时，或者勉强屈服，或者保持沉默，并希望这种压力逐渐消失。
但现这种情况已经一去不复返了。
克林顿政府热衷于拖加这样的压力（依然认为对日施加贸易压力会有效果。
）其政策是通过设定进口指标来打开日本某些市场（美国认为日本某些市场是对外封闭的）——这种方法被其支持者称为“以结果为导向”贸易政策。
这种牵强的说法预示着不确定的后果。
日本非但没有屈服于美国的强硬贸易政策反而采取了一种可能会导致太平洋双岸对抗的矛盾（美日贸易冲突的立场）。
5. In addition to the customarydry analysis, this year’s edition willput Japan’s side of an argument thathas, until now, been dominated byAmerican and European critiques. Itfollows another MITI report,published this week that takesAmerica, the European Communityand other large trading partners to taskfor 指责某人their “unfair tradingpractices”. Both reports argue fortrade governed by multilateral rulesand call for the completion of theUruguay round of trade talks.今年的白皮书除了常规的直截了当的分析外，还要提出日本的态度，而以前则是美欧的评论占主导地位。
此前，在本周通产省曾发布了另一份报告，谴责美国、欧共体和其他主要贸易伙伴采取了“不公平的贸易做法”。
两份报告都认为贸易由多边贸易规则管理并呼吁完成乌拉圭回合贸易谈判。
6.It is this persistent surplus, more than anything, that has provoked anger in Washington—and Mr. Clinton’s remark that “the possibility of obtaining real, even access to the Japanese market is somewhat remote”.正是也仅仅是由于持续的贸易顺差，而非其他什么东西，激起了华盛顿的愤怒。
克林顿说“想要真正获得日本市场甚至是进入日本市场都很遥远”。
7.Having argued that criticism of the trade surplus in Washington is misconceived, MITI’s forthcoming paper goes on to predict that the surplus will, of its own accord, gradually diminish in size and relevance.在提出华盛顿对贸易顺差的错误批评以后，通产省即将发布的报告接着预测这种贸易顺差的规模和重要性将会自动地逐渐缩减。
8.Analysis by Mr. Haraoka’s office explains the recent rise in Japan’s trade surplus as follows: because of the recession衰退at home, Japan has seen a decline in expensive imports of luxuries, which were enormously fashionable during the second half of the 1980s. This effect has been compounded, thanks to slow growth elsewhere, by low prices for the international commodities that Japanese industry depends upon. Exports of Japanese machinery, on the other hand, withstood the downturn quite well because the Asian economies that buy them continued to boom.叶廊下所在部门的分析解释了近期日本贸易顺差增长的原因：由于日本国内经济衰退，昂贵的奢侈品的进口有所下降，而这些产品在20世纪80年代后期却是十分流行的。
