第4题：
Text 3 Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-80, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?
The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.
Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.
Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies--to which heavy industry has shifted-have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.
One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economist's commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.

第6题：
Robert F.Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures“everything except that which makes life worthwhile.”With Britain voting to leave the European Union,and GDP already predicted to slow as a result,it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century.Many argue that it is a flawed concept.It measures things that do not matter and miss things that do.By most recent measures,the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western World,with record low unemployment and high growth figures.If everything was going so so well,then why did over 17million people vote for Brexit,despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question.Across the 163 countries measured,the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvement for its citizens.Rather than just focusing on GDR over 40 different sets of criteria from health,education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges,there are a number of consistent themes.Yes,there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash,but in key indicators in areas such as health and education,major economies have continued to decline.Yet this isn't the case with all countries.Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society;income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn:When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success,the world looks very different.So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations,as a measure,it is no longer enough.It does not include important factors such as environmental equality or education outcomes-all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth.But policymaker who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.
Which of the following is the best?for the text?A.High GDP But Inadequate Well-being,a UK lesson
B.GDP figures,a Window on Global Economic Health
C.Robert F.Kennedy,a Terminator of GDP
D.Brexit,the UK’s Gateway to Well-being答案：A解析：主旨题。文章首段通过引用Kenndy对GDP的评价以及英国脱欧事件引出本文探讨的主题GDP。第二段首句指出对GDP疑问和其无用之处使得政策制定者很恼火，呈现出对GDP的负面态度。第三段至第六段通过研究得出结论，GDP没能包含所有因素。最后一段在转折之后再度指出政策制定者已经不仅仅只是担心GDP数据（rather than simply worrying about GDP figures），而是重新关注提高幸福的其他努力。故正确答案为选项A，高GDP但对幸福不足够，欧盟的教训。 -

[试题分析]文章细节事实题。
[详细解答]题干要求考生从文章中找出最近一次石油涨价的主要原因。文章第一段提到，自从三月份石油输出国组织(OPEC，Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries)同意减产，原油的价格已经涨了近三倍。第二段提到，油价这个星期因伊拉克停止石油出口又一次被抬升。强劲的经济增涨势头，再加上冬季笼罩了北半球，可能在短期内使油价涨得更高。从某种意义上讲，这些都是油价上涨的原因，但不是主要原因。

In the last two paragraphs,the author suggests that____A.the UK is preparing for an economic boom.
B.high GDP foreshadows an economic decline.
C.it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP.
D.it requires caution to handle economic issues.答案：C解析：推理题。根据题干定位在第四段和第五段。第四段首句指出虽然GDP是衡量国家经济行为最普遍的方法，但是它已经不足够了（it is no longer enough，其中it指代GDP）。紧接着第二句进一步说明不足够的方面：it does not include important factors…，它没能包含一些重要的因素，即重要因素被忽略了。而第五段在But转折后指出政策制定者已经不仅仅只是担心GDP数据（rather than simply worrying about GDP figures），而是重新关注提高幸福的努力。结合两段的内容可以得知，除了GDP还有重要因素的存在，这正是当下关注的重点。因此正确答案为选项C，除了GDP还有其他重要因素需要考虑。 -

It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that____A.the UK is reluctant to remold its economic pattern.
B.the UK will contribute less to the world economy.
C.GDP as the measure of success is widely defied in the UK.
D.policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP.答案：B解析：推理题。从第二段当中，第一句话：The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers...其中的annoyed的感情色彩是否定的，说明policymakers对GDP的作用是否定的;第二句当中many argue that it is a flawed concept.其中的it指代GDP，大家认为GDP是一个有缺陷的概念，表明人民大众对GDP的感情色彩也是否定的。最后一句更是明显的指出：如果一切顺利的话，为什么还有17 million的人不顾国家前途而投票脱欧呢?更是表明对GDP作用的否定，因此综上所述，B选项GDP作为测量成功的方式饱受争议，是正确选项。 -

单选题Which of the following statements is true according to what was said in the recording?AThe dollar rose to a new high against the curd.
BThe American economy has rebounded.
CJapan’s economy has not bottomed out yet.
DThe performance of many economies in Latin America is less than expected.
正确答案： B解析：
从录音中提到的“Not only has the American economy rebounded…”，可知美国经济反弹了，即开始发展，因此选B。
【录音原文】
Stockmarkets are sliding again; the gold price this week hit a seven-year high of $400 an ounce; and the dollar slumped to a new low against the euro. “So what’s new?” you might ask: the world economy clearly remains fragile. What is new, however, is the recent batch of better-than-expected figures on economic growth around the globe. Not only has the American economy rebounded, but Japan and the euro area are also now growing again, albeit more slowly. The news from some emerging economies is even more bullish. Many economies in Asia and Latin America enjoyed their fastest growth for years in the third quarter. Adding it all together, the world economy as a whole probably enjoyed its fastest growth for two decades. So why are the financial markets showing lack of confidence? -
第23题：
问答题Although the American economy has transformed itself over the years, certain issues have persisted since the early days of the republic. One is the continuing debate over the proper role for government in what is basically a marketplace economy. An economy based on free enterprise is generally characterized by private ownership and initiative, with a relative absence of government involvement. However, government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to the people, to prevent flagrant abuses, to dampen inflation and to stimulate growth.Ever since colonial times, the government has been involved, to some extent, in economic decision-making. The federal government, for example, has made huge investments in infrastructure, and it has provided social welfare programs that the private sector was unable or unwilling to provide. In a myriad of ways and over many decades, the government has supported and promoted the development of agriculture.正确答案：
虽然美国经济在过去几年中已实现了转型,但某些问题自美国建国之初以来一直持续至今,依然悬而未决。其中之一便是围绕着政府在一个基本上属于市场性质的经济中的恰当角色所展开的持久争论。以自由企业为基础的经济体制,其普遍特征便是私有制和个人创新精神,政府介入应相对微弱。然而,人们发现,政府进行时不时的干预也是必要的,它能确保经济机会人人均等,能为全部民众所获得,并防范肆无忌惮的权力滥用,平抑通货膨胀,刺激经济增长。
自殖民地时期以来,美国政府或多或少地参与到经济决策中来。例如,联邦政府曾在基础设施方面进行过巨额投资,它也提供了私营业主们没有能力或不愿意提供的社会福利项目。在过去数十年中,政府也以无数的方式支持并促进农业发展。解析： 暂无解析 -

由文章第三段最后一句话，“Yet, in many respects…track the economy most closely.”，可知，新形式的失业在某些方面也同旧形式的失业类似，新产生的下岗工人多数都是蓝领工人，因为这些行业与经济运行的好坏最相关。D选项正是此意。A，B，C选项无关。
