16、 correct answer. After you have listened once, replay the recording. You have 45 seconds to read through the questions. Pause Now listen, and mark A, B or C. Woman: Manufacturers in China are now confronted with dramatically slacking demand. Then whats the reason? Man: Well, you know, overseas marke

17、ts, which absorbs the majority of Chinese products, have been cutting orders since November not only the major buyers of the G3, the storm eye of the current global crisis, but more so emerging economies, where deep troubles are only beginning. Woman: Are there any specific signs reflecting the weak

18、ened demand? Man: Yes, firstly the weakened demand is mirrored in idle capacity. The fourth quarter of 2008 had seen negative 7.1 percent growth in electricity consumption, compared to the year prior. Downstream industries, such as textiles and chemical fibers, have been leading the contraction star

19、ting early last year. Upstream industries, including the nonferrous metal and transportation equipment, followed quickly, retrenching electricity consumption by over 20 percent. Using less electricity means less production. Therefore, Januarys industrial value added is very likely to fall from Decem

20、ber, which probably means negative GDP growth as well. Woman: In the battle against the economic slowdown, China has designed stimulus plans for ten manufacturing industries: textile, light industry, electronics and information, logistics, automobile, shipbuilding, machinery, steel, nonferrous metal

21、s and petrochemicals. Then where are the industries suffering from? Man: As you say, China has designed to boost ten major industries. The industries suffering most from overcapacity are: Shipbuilding Much in line with the rest of the world, Chinas new orders have fallen behind deliveries since Octo

22、ber, a situation not seen in more than five years. Petrochemical The apparent petrol consumption(production plus imports minus exports)has decreased year-on-year since November, while inventories have piled up by 47.3 percent in 2008 compared with a year ago. Electronics & Information A pillar expor

23、t industry, the electronics and information industry used 60 percent of its capacity for export production. Turnover in this industry shrank by 0.1 percent and 2.4 percent in November and December year-on-year, a strong sign of over-capacity as the fourth quarter is traditionally the peak season. Wo

24、man: Whats the result of over-capacity to the factories? Man: As both international and domestic demand weakens, many factories find that they dont need as much capacity as they have, and have to downsize their payrolls or cut wages, making life harder for workers. However, the ten stimulus plans se

25、em to have neglected the key problem entirely. Instead of clearing excess, outdated inventory, the expansionary measures in the plans might lead to even more inventory buildup as they create an illusion of beefed-up demand. Woman: Is there any strategies for these industry factories? Man: The good n

26、ews is that a sluggish market could allow for industry consolidation, which would improve an industrys efficiency as a whole. Such consolidations should be carried out through market competition, free from government intervention. However, policies, such as a favourable tax regime and financial supp

27、ort, are needed to help businesses weather the painful process. Still, the most important factor in ensuring the success of these policies is a strong domestic market. Without that, the ten industries stimulus plans as well as the 4 trillion yuan investment package announced last year might well be

29、ch question(23-30), mark one letter(A, B or C)for the correct answer. After you have listened once, replay the recording. You have 45 seconds to read through the questions. Pause Now listen, and mark A, B or C. Woman: After founding the Peoples Republic, China spent the first 30 years building a pla

30、nned economy and the next 30 years reforming it. Then, when will Chinas economy be likely to exceed that of United States? Man: Angus Maddison. a British economist, predicted this will happen in 2015. counting the GDP in purchasing power parity(PPP): PricewaterhouseCoopers allows an extra 10 years.

31、But whomever you listen to, China is said to be on the way to becoming the biggest economy within 30 years. Woman: Since the Second World War, the former Soviet Union, West Germany and Japan have each once been seen in this light. None of them, however, turned out to overtake the United States. Coul

32、d China shatter these predictions? Man: In my opinion, the key lies in a modernized and strengthened manufacturing sector. And the starting point is proper consolidation of the industry. Woman: Then, how to get proper consolidation of the industry? Man: Two forces, withering external demand and grow

33、ing production costs, have already been pushing consolidation of Chinas manufacturing sector. Woman: But dependency on export seems too important for the Chinese manufacturing sector to break with. Man: You know, the conventional gauge, the export-GDP ratio, might have exaggerated the extent of expo

34、rt dependence, because export figures are gross, while the GDP is incremental. A better measure would be export deliveries against overall sales by the industrial sector. In 2004, export deliveries peaked at 20 percent of total sales and dropped to 16.5 percent by November 2008. Woman: What about th

35、e competition within the industry? Man: Competition within the industry, as well as normalization of the input price, has been elevating production costs. According to the National Statistical Bureau, the number of manufacturers almost doubled between 1998 and 2006, making the marketplace much more

36、crowded, although sales increased fivefold during the same period. As competition heats up in the margins, managers might also have to bid farewell to artificially depressed input prices in the wake of the 2008 fuel pricing reform. Prices of land, commodities, interest and exchange rates may all ris

37、e, swelling production costs. Woman: Whats the impact from the current global financial crisis and economic recession? Man: The current global financial crisis and economic recession have accelerated the process of consolidation. As a result, the industry will mature as weak companies are washed out

38、 and robust ones remain. The companies that survive will benefit from economy of scale and stronger pricing power. Woman: What are Chinas comparative advantages now? Man: In the meantime, China will continue to energize growth of the manufacturing sector. Such advantages include, first of all, inexp

39、ensive labour. At present, Chinas average labour cost is no more than 5 percent of that of the United States. In light of the experiences of South Korea and Taiwan, this ratio is expected to grow beyond 25 percent but not exceed 50 percent during the next 30 years. Secondly, China has developed an e

40、xtended industry chain, a major plus for Chinese exporters in competition with their foreign rivals. A recent survey indicated that only 40 percent of Chinese manufacturers outsource overseas, compared to Germanys 47 percent and Indias 67 percent. Finally, Chinas enormous potential in the consumer m

41、arket lays a solid foundation for long term growth of its manufacturing sector. Woman: Could you predict the bottom of the current slump? Man: The current slump may soon hit bottom as companies take the opportunity to consolidate and expand rapidly. Chinese manufacturers are also beginning to shift

42、their target markets from overseas to domestic consumers. As Chinas GDP per capita approaches $3,000, we are likely to see a boom in domestic consumption, creating a huge demand shared by an emerging service sector and an empowered manufacturing sector. 【知识模块】 选择题 9 【正确答案】 B 【知识模块】 选择题 10 【正确答案】 C 【

44、 correct answer. After you have listened once, replay the recording. You have 45 seconds to read through the questions. Pause Now listen, and mark A, B or C. Man: The idea that government policy should be focused more on promoting happiness has been gaining support. Proponents of this view argue tha

45、t happiness indicators, based on surveys that purport to measure how happy people feel, have stagnated over decades. An important reason is that governments have aimed to maximize a narrowly defined materially based measure of economic welfare, gross national product, rather than a more holistic ind

46、icator of welfare based on happiness. This premise is clearly false. Politicians have always sought to achieve many things that are not designed to increase GNP. The most recent public service agreements on the British Treasury website, for example, spell out government commitments to make schooichi

47、ldren do more physical exercise, increase participation in the arts and reduce scrapie in sheep. Presumably these are not just oblique ways of boosting the economy. A decades-long flat happiness trend could be showing that government policies in general fail: that efforts to improve the human lot th

48、rough the political process over the past 50 years have proved futile. But this would be a depressing conclusion. Instead, happiness advocates make a scapegoat out of GNP and argue that economic growth is irrelevant or detrimental to happiness. The alternative view is that the happiness data over ti

49、me contains little or no genuine information. We simply cannot rely on such data as an indicator of anything useful. Indeed, they show no correlation with a whole range of factors that might reasonably be thought to improve well-being, such as a massive increase in leisure time, a tendency to live longer and a decline in gender inequality. Income inequality is often claimed to be a strong determinant of happiness, and this “fact“ used to argue for more progressive taxation. Yet we do not see any change in recorded happiness when inequality go
