17、：2.00）填空项 1:_1. The US economy, which makes up one quarter of world economic output, is slowing sharply, and bringing down growth through the rest of the world. And the terrorist attacks are likely to make the problem worse, although the International Monetary Fund(IMF)says it is too early to assess

18、 the full economic consequences. Kennety Rogoff, the IMFs chief economist, said that a US recession was now more likely. “Whether it will be a bit above zero or below zero . a trough in US growth is very likely,“ Mr. Rogoff said. However, he added that “I think there is every cause for a v-shaped re

19、bound next year.“ Later, he withdrew his initial statement that a US recession was a “done deal“, saying no one could tell if growth would turn negative. 2. The IMFs world economic forecast was due to be published at the Funds annual meeting, but that meeting was cancelled amid security concerns in

20、Washington. However, the new forecast makes it clear that the US is at the center of the world economic slowdown. It says it is too early to quantify the indirect impact of the terrorist attacks, but it says that it is likely to delay any recovery for some time. However, the IMF said that the prompt

21、 response of the US authorities may have prevented a deeper downturn, with further tax cuts and interest rate cuts in the pipeline. 3. The IMF was already projecting that the US economy would slow to a growth rate of 1.3% this year, compared to 4.1% in 2000, before recovering to 2.2% in 2002. The IM

22、F makes it clear that the initial slowdown in the US was due to a sharp drop in business investment, with a collapse of software and computer hardware purchases and a rundown of business inventories. It points out that consumer spending had remained “relatively robust“ while construction had actuall

23、y expanded. It is this element that is now threatened, with confidence and consumer spending at risk. And, the IMF warns, the stock market falls could hurt the willingness of consumes to spend. 4. But the IMF says that the measures already taken, including the extra $40 billion in economic aid and t

24、he 0.5% rate cut last week, “should support activity in the period ahead, allowing demand to recover modestly by the end of the year“. However, “confidence has been further shaken by the terrorist attack, increasing risks that the pace of recovery may be slowed“. 5. The IMF warns that there are othe

25、r dangers to the US economy, including a huge current account deficit and a large overhang of consumer debt. The hope is that the slowdown will be gradual and orderly, allowing the currency and the stock market to adjust gradually downwards. The global imbalances in the US, including the over-valued

26、 dollar, have affected the rest of the world, and a rapid collapse of its value could hurt Japanese exporters and fuel inflation in Europe. But the biggest effect of the US slowdown is likely to be on its neighbors in North America, and its Asian exporters. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-
