21、四、B阅读理解/B(总题数：2，分数：20.00)The balance of payments is a statistical record of all the economic transaction between residents of the reporting country and residents of the rest of the world during a given time period. The usual reporting period for all the statistics included in the accounts is a year.

22、 A good or bad set of figures can have an influential effect on the exchange rate and can lead policy makers to change the content of their economic policies. Deficits may lead to the government raising interest rate or reducing public expenditure to reduce expenditure on imports. Alternatively, def

23、icits may lead to calls for protection against foreign imports or capital controls to defend the exchange rate.A key definition that needs to be resolved at the outset is that of a domestic and foreign resident. It is important to note that citizenship and residency are not necessarily the same thin

24、g from the viewpoint of the balance of payments statistics. The term residents comprises individuals, households, firms and the public authorities. There are some problems that arise with respect to the definition of a resident. Multinational corporations are by definition resident in more than one

25、country. For the purposes of balance - of - payments reporting the subsidiaries of a multinational are treated as being a resident in the country in which they are located even if their shares are actually owned by domestic residents. Another problem concerns the treatment of international organizat

26、ions such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, United Nations and so forth. These institutions are treated as being foreign residents even though they may actually be located in the reporting country. For example although the International Monetary Fund is located in Washington, contr

27、ibutions by the US government to the Fund are included in the US balance -of-payments statistics because they are regarded as transactions with a foreign resident. Tourists are regarded as being foreign residents if they stay in the reporting country for less than a year.The criterion for a transact

28、ion to be included in the balance of payments is that it must involve a transaction between a resident of the reporting country and a resident from the rest of the world. Purchases and sales between residents from the same country are excluded.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the balance of payments?（分数：2.00）A

29、The balance of payments is a digital table of all the economic transactions between residents of the reporting country and residents of the rest of the world during a given time period.B.The balance of payments is a figured table of all the economic transactions between residents of the reporting c

31、tal record of all the economic transactions between residents of the reporting country and residents of the rest of the world during a given time period.(2).It is important to note that _.（分数：2.00）A.citizenship and residency are the same thing from the viewpoint of the balance of payments statistics

32、B.citizenship and residency are almost the same thing from the viewpoint of the balance of payments statisticsC.citizenship and residency are indeed the same thing from the viewpoint of the balance of payments statisticsD.citizenship and residency are not necessarily the same thing from the viewpoin

36、entary Credit is a Documentary Credit with a special condition incorporated into it that authorizes the Confirming Bank or any other Nominated Bank to make advances to the Beneficiary before presentation of the documents.The clause is incorporated at the specific request of the Applicant, and the wo

37、rding is de- pendent upon his requirements. The Red Clause Documentary Credit is so called because the clause was originally written in red ink to draw attention to the unique nature of this Documentary Credit. The clause specifies the amount of the advance authorized, which, in some in- stances, ma

38、y be for the full amount of the Documentary Credit.The Red Clause Documentary Credit is often used as a method of providing the seller with funds prior to shipment. Therefore, it is of value to middlemen and dealers in areas of commerce that require to a form of pre - financing and when a buyer woul

39、d be willing to make special concessions of this nature.For example, it could be used by a wool importer in England to enable a wool shipper in Australia to obtain funds to pay the actual suppliers (either by direct purchase or through the wool auctions) by obtaining a loan from the Australian bank,

40、 either on an unsecured basis or against the security of interim documents. This would enable repayment of the loan, plus interest, from the proceeds due to the Australian Beneficiary when the wool was shipped and documents were presented in accordance with the terms of the Documentary Credit. If, h

41、owever, the Beneficiary failed to ship the wool so as to repay the loan by presenting documents called for by the Documentary Credit, the Australian bank would have the right to demand repayment, with interest, from the Issuing Bank and that bank would have a similar right of recourse against the Ap

42、plicant.This kind of arrangement places the onus of final repayment on the applicant, who would be liable for repayment of the advances if the Beneficiary failed to present the documents called for under the Documentary Credit, and who would also be liable for all costs-such as interest or foreign e

43、xchange hedging- incurred by the Issuing Bank, the Confirming Bank, if any, or any other Nominated Bank.（分数：10.00）(1).What does a Red Clause Documentary Credit mean?（分数：2.00）A.It is a kind of Documentary Credit with a special condition incorporated into it that authorizes the Confirming Bank to make

45、he Confirming Bank or any other Nominated Bank to provide the Beneficiary with funds before presentation of the documents.D.It is a Documentary Credit that may provide for automatic reinstatement immediately upon presentation of the specified documents.(2).Why was the Red Clause Documentary Credit w

46、ritten in red ink?（分数：2.00）A.Because it can analyse the nature of the Documentary Credit.B.Because it has the effect of the Documentary Credit.C.Because it can draw attention to the unique nature of the Documentary Credit.D.Because it can make people believe the nature of the Documentary.(3).How is

47、the Red Clause Documentary Credit used?（分数：2.00）A.It is often used as a means of supplying the seller with funds before shipment.B.It is served as a way of providing the seller for funds prior to shipment.C.It is often used for the method of providing the seller for funds prior to shipment.D.It is o
