　　Passage 1

　　U. S. Is Prepared to See Trade Relations Worsen

　　Some of the Clinton administration,s tough talk appears tactical , intended to pressure trading partners into offering concession and to unblock stalled negotiations on several fronts. But it appears

　　that officials are prepared to turn up the temperature on trade—and live with the consequences.

　　In some ways , Mr. Clinton and his advisers are following the same well-trod path as the Bush administration , which threatened sanctions against the Community last year and walked away from

　　GATT negotiations rather than sign an agreement that would provide only small gains for U. S.

　　companies. The same political pressures from trade hawks in Congress that the Bush officials felt are

00096# 外刊經貿知識選讀試題 第 2 頁( 共 5 頁)

　　now bearing down on the Clinton team.

　　A broad review of trade policy issues is just beginning within the administration , but officials said the underpinnings of Mr. Kantor,s decision were plainly found in Mr. Clinton,s trade speeches

　　during the campaign , particularly the demand for open markets abroad.

　　The reactions to these first signals from the Clinton team has been sharply divergent.

　　16. The purpose of Clinton administration,s tough talk is to make concession to the trade partners.

　　17. The officials will accept the consequences of tough trade negotiation.

　　18. The trade policy by Clinton team is completely different with to that of Bush,s.

　　19. The Community threatened to make trade sanctions to the United States.

　　20. Clinton team faced political pressures from trade hawks in Congress.

　　Passage 2

　　Economic Troubles Cloud New Market

　　s Future

　　But perhaps the major reason is the dark economic clouds now hanging over Europe. One of the central justifications for the single market was its ability to create greater prosperity , but it is making

　　its debut just as Europe traverses one of its roughest economic storms in years.

　　“ We are going to wind up 1992 with just about the same level of unemployed—nearly 10 per cent community wide—that we had before this project , ”says an aide to Mr. Delors. In addition , economic growth is skidding to an anticipated 1 per cent next year , all of which adds up to consumer and business confidence sinking to the same lows recorded during the pre-single market days of

　　Europessimism.

　　Both EC and independent analysts say that business anticipated the economic benefits of the single market , so that much of the burst of economic activity in preparation for the new market has

　　already occurred.

　　Business investment , which had been flat for the five years preceding the decision in 1985 to

　　create the single market , soared to a 7 per cent annual growth rate from1985- 1990.

　　21. The economic trouble in Europe is the major reason.

　　22. The single market has brought prosperity to the European economy.

　　23. The unemployment rate was 10% in 1992.

　　24. The economic growth rate next year is expected to be about 1% in European Community.

　　25. Business investment increased at 5% growth rate in 1990s.

　　Passage 1

　　China,s cautious approach to foreign borrowing is to be maintained , at least for the time being.

　　The debt problems confronting a number of developing countries have reinforced China,s

　　determination to introduce foreign technology by means of direct investment and concessionary

　　finance rather than by raising substantial sums of money on the international capital markets. Foreign

00096# 外刊經貿知識選讀試題 第 4 頁( 共 5 頁)

　　investment is advantageous insofar as it facilitates the transfer of technology and skills and avoids creating an overhang of debt. The authorities do not consider it appropriate to incur large amounts of external debt until a number of practical bottlenecks in the economy , such as an inadequate transport network and energy constraints , have been tackled. China,s access to substantial sums of money

　　from the World Bank also reduces the need to borrow on commercial terms.

　　46. What is the meaning of“cautious”?

　　47. What are the“ practical bottlenecks ”in the context?

　　48. What does“ borrow on commercial terms ”imply?

　　Passage 2

　　China is reaping the rewards of reforms first launched by Deng Xiaoping in 1979. Foreign investment is now welcome. Special Economic Zones are booming. The opening of securities and real-estate markets have created new opportunities. Clearly , 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% of China,s industrial production.

　　49. What is the meaning of“opportunities”?

　　50. What is China,s GDP last year?.

　　51. Who created half of China's industrial output?

　　六、翻譯題 :本大題 12 分。

　　52. Output for the developing countries advanced by 1. 9% during 1991 – comparable to the weak performance they registered in 1990. In terms of per capita income , real output in developing countries apparently eased somewhat , by – 0. 1 % . A number of factors— some broad-based , others more specific – contributed to the weakness of performance. Despite the slowdown in the industrial countries—particularly in the U. S. —improvements in economic performance in Latin America were widespread. The region,s GDP rose by 3. 0% in 1991 , thus reversing the slide in annual per capita income that had taken place over the past decade. Growth rates were in excess of 4% in Argentina , Chile , and Mexico and reached a high of 9. 1% in Venezuela. Policy reforms covering fiscal adjustment , trade and investment liberalization , the financial sector , and public-enterprise restructuring and privatization , supported by debt restructuring ,

　　have helped to moderate inflation in the region and strengthen domestic demand.
