1、考研英语(阅读)模拟试卷 494 及答案解析(总分:60.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数:6,分数:60.00)1.Section II Reading Comprehension(分数:10.00)_2.Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.(分数:10.00)_Leaving the European Union would save every Dutch
2、household 9,800 a year by 2035, claims Capital Economics, a London consultancy, in a report commissioned by Geert Wilders far-right PVV party. Mr. Wilders calls this “the best news in years“, painting a picture of a country freed from the chokehold of Brussels, mass migration and high taxes, and enj
3、oying more trade, more jobs and a booming economy. The report lists the benefits of departure: lower business costs because of less regulation; no more net payments to the EU; a doubling of the share of trade with emerging markets; faster economic recovery. The only cost is the transition from the e
4、uro to a new guilder, and this is “modest and manageable“. The report concludes that Dutch GDP would be 10-13% higher by 2035. This finds a receptive audience among those Dutch who are looking for scapegoats. Unemployment has doubled since 2008 and the economy is flat. A recent poll finds a majority
5、 of Dutch voters in favour of leaving the EU if that would lead to more jobs and growth. The PVV is leading in opinion polls before the European elections in May. Yet there are problems with the Capital Economics report. The idea that the economy would miraculously recover if freed from the European
6、 Central Banks policies ignores the structural failings that hold it back. The assumption that having the guilder would allow a much looser monetary policy is, at best, questionable. And it defies political reality to imagine that Netherlands would enjoy virtually cost-free access to the EUs single
7、market, which takes 75% of Dutch exports. Norway and Switzerland both pay for the privilege and have to comply with most EU laws and regulations; the latest Swiss vote for quotas on EU migration threatens the entire relationship. Despite its flaws, the report fires a welcome starting-gun for a debat
8、e about what is good and bad about the EU. Some 66% of the Dutch feel their “No“ vote in the 2005 referendum on the EU constitution was largely ignored. If regulation costs as much as the report claims, and if the ECBs monetary policy is too restrictive, both should be changed. Defenders of the EU a

13、policy is too restrictive to complyWhen the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do, they go to a cueva, or “cave“ , an office that acts as a front for a thriving illegal exchange market. In one cueva near Florida Street, a pedestrian avenue in t
14、he centre of the city, piles of pesos from previous transactions lie on a table. A courier is getting ready to carry the notes to safety-deposit boxes. This smallish cueva handles transactions worth $50,000-75,000 a day. Fear of inflation and of further depreciation of the peso, which fell by more t
15、han 20% in January, will keep demand for dollars high. Few other ways of making money are this good. “Modern Argentina does not offer what you could call an institutional career,“ says one cueva owner. As the couriers carry their bundles around Buenos Aires, they pass grand buildings like the Teatro
16、 Coln, an opera house that opened in 1908, and the Retiro railway station, completed in 1915. These are emblems of Argentinas Belle poque, the period before the outbreak of the first world war when the country could claim to be the worlds true land of opportunity. In the 43 years leading up to 1914,
17、 GDP had grown at an annual rate of 6% , the fastest recorded in the world. The country was a magnet for European immigrants, who flocked to find work on the fertile pampas, where crops and cattle were propelling Argentinas expansion. In 1914 half of Buenos Airess population was foreign-born. The co
18、untry ranked among the ten richest in the world, after the likes of Australia, Britain and the United States, but ahead of France, Germany and Italy. Its income per head was 92% of the average of 16 rich economies. From this point, it looked down its nose at its neighbours: Brazils population was le

Although Argentina has had periods of robust growth in the past centurynot least during the commodity boom of the past ten yearsand its people remain wealthier than most Latin Americans, its standing as one of the worlds most vibrant econ
20、omies is a distant memory. Its income per head is now 43% of those same 16 rich economies; it trails Chile and Uruguay in its own backyard.(分数:10.00)(1).According to the text, which is NOT true about cueva?(分数:2.00)A.It serves as an illegal currency-exchange market.B.Making money through cueva is no
