Passage 1

Review of Markets——Corn F utures

Futures market for corn, wheat and soybeans have a tough act to fllow in 1997. The past 12 months featured some of the most volatile grain prices in recent history, as weather moved the market dramatically. Records were set for both price and volume. Com- futures prices marched up 57% from the beginning of the year. Wheat-futures prices also skyrocketed to an all-time high to about $ 7 a bushel, doubling in prices since early 1995.

Increasing world -wide demand and an expectation of record -low crop production because of unfavorable weather led to high prices early in 1996. For wheat , conditions stayed dry through May， while for corn and soybeans, weather remained dry in key producing regions into June. Because of the weather eardy in the year, the nation's granaries held a precariously low amount-just 426 million bushes of com at one point in September, the lowest level since the 1970s.

But just when supply concerns pushed prices into the record-breaking range, rains and interna-tional supply spoiled the bullish party. Farmers planted 8 million more acres of corn alone in 1996 and large crops also came from Europe and Australia. The high price encouraged shifts in planning-area and yield went up. Soybean demand could outpace its grain cousins because of the rapid growth n China, which recently sw itched from being an exporter to an importer of soybean products. And if there are any problems with production, the market is liable to have a large price advance.

16. The grain prices kept stable during the past 12 months.

17. Wheat -futures price in early 1995 is about $ 3.5 a bushel.

18. Unfavorable weather led to record-low crop production in 1996.

19. Because of the weather, many countries stored more cor than expected.

20. Rapid demand growth makes China become an importer of soybean.

Passage 2

Smooth Ride on the Road to success

It is the good fortune of the United Arab Emirates ( UAE) that the country and its economy are enjoying a much softer ride. The federation is functioning smoothly with few obvious obstacles on the path ahead. A lot of the multinational companies have chosen Dubai to target their markets. They recognize that here they can have the international exposure, the services and access to the storage and distribution networks. They are looking at Dubai as a distribution and management center for the whole of the Middle East.

The range of economic activity remains one of the UAE's great strengths in combating the peri-odic downturns in the oil market. Nevertheless, it is widely acknowledged that the oil price contin-ued to have a disproportionate bearing on the economy's well-being and that further diversification is required. Strong emphasis is being attached to the development of non-oil activity, whether it be through joint stock investment companies or govermment agencies. However other aspects of econom- ic reform have hardly got onto political agenda. There has been no privatization and still there isn't a stock exchange. Next year may see some action. The review of the draft stock exchange rules is nea- ring completion and that 1996 should see the publication of a stock exchange law. Yet, few expect a sea-change in economic policy. The trend is towards economic reform, but it won't be rushed.

There is still enough money around to satisfy most people's expectation. A similar assessment was made in a recent study by the Emirates Industrial Bank on the possibility of greater private involve-ment in infrastructure projects. “ For the UAE although these are not pressing policy concerns, it might be worthwhile to start looking at the best institutional arrangements from a medium to long term perspective for managing the infrastructure," it said.

21. A lot of multinational companies came to Dubai and set up their offices.

22. To deal with the fall in the price of oil, UAE began to develop non-oil activities.

23. A stock exchange will never be allowed in UAE.

24. There will be a fundamental reform in UAE's economy policy.

25. Private investment are always encouraged in infrastructure projects in UAE.

Passage 1

Disputes over farm trade have bedevilled the current round of GATT talks from the start. That is unsurprising. For decades governments everywhere have suppressed market forces in agriculture with subsidies, tariffs, quotas， monopoly purchasing boards and all the other paraphernalia of mule -headed intervention. On one plausible estimate, consumers in industrial countries pay $ 300 billion ayear in taxes and higher prices to support farming. Even allowing for the income transferred to farmers, the net welfare loss caused by the industrial countries' farm policies is $ 100 billion a year. What exactly are those reforms of the common agricultural policy ( CAP) that Europe's govern-ments agreed to? On cereals, where Europe and America have squabbled most fiercely, the GATT"s director- general suggested cuts of 20% in the value of the CAP's production subsidies. America said it would settle for nothing else. The EC then came up with a new plan to re-form the CAP. Its main idea is to replace some production subsidies with direct payments to farmers.

46. In what way could“subsidies”suppress marked forces in the farm trade?

47. What does“squabble" mean here?

48. From the sentence underlined, do you think what attitude America took towards the reform sug-gested by the GATT's director- general?

Passage 2

A notable development in 1991 was a narrowing of current account imbalances of most major in-dustrial countries: The U. S. current-account deficit moved to near balance. The trade component of the deficit narrowed as lower inflation and earlier dollar depreciation improved competitiveness, while the transfers component moved into substantial surplus because of war-related payments. Mo-reover, there was a remarkable swing in the German current account- from a surplus equivalent to 3.2% of GDP in 1990 to a deficit of 1.3%. A continuation of the surge of imports that followed uni-fication, as well as the earlier appreciation of the deutsche mark , contributed to the swing. Several important developments in monetary conditions also took place in 1991. Reflecting more accommoda-tive monetary policy，nominal short-term interest rates fell in the United States. In contrast, the in-crease in German nominal short-term interest rates to postwar highs narrowed the potential of some European Monetary System partners to reduce their rates. 

49. What's the meaning of“the trade component of the deficit"?

50. Why does the appreciation of the deutsche mark cause the German current account to swift from a surplus to a deficit?

51. What's your paraphrase of “accommodative”in the sentence?

六、翻譯題:本大題12分。

52.A clearly confident China has rolled up a large section of its bamboo curtain, declared itself “ open to the outside world” and hung signs on nearly all its cities inviting foreign investors to come and do serious business. In China's special economic zones ( SEZs)，which are being built almost from scratch, foreigners can invest in anything which the state deems useful for the country, be it, for example, production of goods for export or construction of private-housing estates. These can be joint ventures, cooperative enterprises or wholly foreign-owned operations. Because every factory or business established in the SEZs is new, imports of capital and consumer goods ( except cigarettes and liquor) are exempted from customs duties, and a uniform 15% income-tax rate is applied.
