11、 texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D._It was inevitable that any of President George W. Bush“s fans had to be very disappointed by his decision to implement high tariffs on steel imported to the U.S. The president“s defense was pathetic: He argued that the steel tari

12、ffs were somehow consistent with free trade, that the domestic industry was important and struggling, and that the relief was a temporary measure to allow time for restructuring. One reason that this argument is absurd is that U.S. integrated steel companies (“Big Steel“) have received various forms

13、 of government protection and subsidy for more than 30 years. Instead of encouraging the industry to restructure, the long-term protection has sustained inefficient companies and cost U.S. consumers dearly. As Anne O. Krueger, now deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said in

14、a report on Big Steel: “The American Big Steel industry has been the champion lobbyist and seeker of protection It provides a key and disillusioning example of the ability to lobby in Washington for measures which hurt the general public and help a very small group“. Since 1950s, Big Steel has been

15、reluctant to make the investments needed to match the new technologies introduced elsewhere. It agreed to high wages for its unionized labor force. Hence, the companies have difficulty in competing not only with more efficient producers in Asia and Europe but also with technologically advanced U.S.

16、mini-mills, which rely on scrap metal as an input. Led by Nucor Cor., these mills now capture about half of overall U.S. sales. The profitability of U.S. steel companies depends also on steel prices, which, despite attempts at protection by the U.S. and other governments, are determined primarily in

17、 world markets. These prices are relatively high as recently as early 2000 but have since declined with the world recession to reach the lowest dollar values of the last 20 years. Although these low prices are unfortunate for U.S. producers, they are beneficial for the overall U.S. economy. The low

18、prices are also signal that the inefficient Big Steel companies should go out of business even faster than they have been. Instead of leaving or modernizing, the dying Big Steel industry complains that foreigners dump steels by selling at low prices. However, it is hard to see why it is bad for the

19、overall U.S. economy if foreign producers wish to sell us their goods at low prices. After all, the extreme case of dumping is one where foreigners give us their steel for free and why would that be a bad thing?（分数：10.00）(1).According to Anne Krueger, long-term government protection given to steel c

21、B.the government“s financial support.C.the reduction of steel product prices.D.the compromise from the labor force.(3).Which of the following can be a disadvantage of U.S. “Big Steel“ as pointed out in the text?（分数：2.00）A.Lower efficiency.B.Lack of protection.C.Corporate structures.D.Lobbyist addict

22、ion.(4).We can draw a conclusion from the text that the overall U.S. economy（分数：2.00）A.must guard against foreigners selling their steel at shocking prices.B.had difficulty in sustaining development in face of foreign competitors.C.can benefit enormously from the lower prices of steel in world marke

24、e Bentonville (Ark.) retailing giant placed a big bet that it could succeed where countless other foreign companies have failed. In the past five years, a number of famous Western brands have been forced to close up shop after failing to Catch on in Japan, one of the world“s largestbut most variable

25、consumer markets. May Wal-Mart make a go of it where others have stumbled? One good sign is that the mass marketer is not rushing in blindly. It has taken an initial 6.1% stake in ailing food-and-clothing chain Seiyu Ltd., which it can raise to a controlling 33.4% by yearend and to 66.7% by 2007. Th

26、at gives Wal-Mart time to revise its strategyor run for the exits. The question is whether Wal-Mart can apply the lessons it has learned in other parts of Asia to Japan. This, after all, is a nation of notoriously finicky consumerswho have become even more so since Japan slipped into a decade long s

27、lump. How will Wal-Mart bring to bear its legendary cost-cutting savvy in a market already affected by falling prices? Analysts are understandably skeptical. “It is uncertain whether Wal-Mart“s business models will be effective in Japan“, Standard that a battle over abortion would be much more diffi

28、cult; that a similar fight seemed unlikely to gain ground elsewhere in Europe.（分数：10.00）_三、Writing(总题数：5，分数：4.00)6.Section III Writing_7.Part ADirections: Write a composition/letter of no less than 100 words on the following information._8.Your son kicked his ball through your neighbor“s window.
