36、文1-10Take a taxi in Shanghai and you will pay more than you would for a ride of equal distance in Beijing. Buy a beer at an international bar in Shanghai, and the same holds true. Go out for an Italian, German or French meal and ditto.And yet, according to a survey released yesterday by Mercer Human
37、 Resources Consulting, Beijing is the most expensive city on the Chinese mainland.“There are some things that might be more expensive in Shanghai, but the index we have is based on a basket of goods,“ said Ilya Bonick, Mercers regional head of information services. Mercers cost of living survey is o

41、 The top three in the world are Tokyo, Osaka and London.The good news is that Chinese cities are getting cheaper, driven by a US dollar depreciating in value.“Chinese cities have dropped significantly in the rankings as the currency is pegged to the US dollar and has therefore been affected by the d
42、ollars depreciation,“ said Marie-Laurence Sepede, Mercers research manager, in a release.“The shift in the China ranking is the most surprising,“ Bonick said. “We have seen it become more affordable.“Another factor for the drop, said Bonick, is the wider availability of products the company uses to
43、measure.“In Shanghai and Beijing, theres more competition in the market and therefore prices go down.“Other Chinese cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen are further down the list and did not make the top 50.填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Resources）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：index）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：consultants）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案
