单选题 第一段 ①促进亚洲区域内、亚洲与世界其他地区之间的经济交流、协调与合作是博鳌亚洲论坛的宗旨。②当前全球经济面临压力,逆全球化和贸易保护主义言行抬头,可能给全球贸易与投资带来干扰,令人担忧。③在此情况下,亚洲各国应坚持推进市场开放、包容性增长和经济合作,以确保本地区经济的共同繁荣和可持续增长。
第二段 ④经济全球化是科技进步的必然结果。⑤在过去几十年中,它有力推动了全球经济增长,也持续推动了全球范围的减贫进程不断取得进展。⑥但经济全球化也带来了一些不容忽视的新问题。
第三段 ⑦上述结构性矛盾的根源,不在于经济全球化本身,而是由于现行全球治理体制同世界经济格局深刻变化不相适应所造成的。⑧因此,采取逆全球化措施,不可能解决这些结构性矛盾,甚至会为全球经济增长带来新的挑战。⑨世界必须主动顺应经济全球化,改革全球治理体系。
单选题 Japan owes a lot to China. Chinese demand for Japanese goods has helped Japan's economy recover, while competition has pressured executives to start restructuring Japan's companies and banks.
Japan is an example of how China is offering two benefits to the global economy. One is the way in which China is acting as an economic engine, buying up ever-increasing amounts of goods and natural resources. The other is the flow of inexpensive Chinese goods that drag down consumer prices across the world.
There are downsides, like the decline of manufacturing industries from Detroit and Perth. Folks in developed economies losing jobs or taking pay cuts would hardly agree that China's rising influence is a good thing.
But at the moment, China's 9.5 percent growth rate is proving more of a blessing than a bane for countries like Japan.
Quietly, at the start of this decade, Japanese companies began shifting production abroad, cutting costs, selling off extraneous businesses and paying down debt. 'The government also stepped up efforts to attract more foreign direct investment, something Japan had little use for in the past.
Taken together, these actions largely prompted by China's advance, have led to the most organic and convincing recovery Japan has seen in years. While Japan has much further to got to make its economy more globally competitive, it is worth noting how far it has come from the dark days of the late 1990s.
There are many benefits inherent in China's advance. One of them was spelled out by Anatole Kaletsky, an editor and economic columnist at The Times of London. He wrote on August 18 that China's rise is making the richest nations even richer.
Along with pushing down global prices of mass-produced goods, China's influence may actually be pushing up the prices of products and services China does not or cannot make. That can be seen in the prices of things that China consumes — oil, financial services, luxury goods and real estate.
Kaletsky said that as prices of luxury goods and financial services are driven higher, prosperous countries with service industries become wealthier, compared with manufacturing countries.
单选题 Para. 1 ①As Rachel Raymond from West Orange, N.J., tells it, the day last August when she flew on a private jet ranks as one of the most unreal experiences of her life. ②Ms. Raymond, and her husband, Daniel, along with their three children, took a flight in a seven-seat jet, a Cessna Citation III, complete with two pilots and a well-stocked bar, from Westchester County Airport, in White Plains, N.Y., to upstate Saratoga Springs. ③The Raymonds had decided to take an impromptu trip to Lake George because they had found a last-minute deal where they could fly on that route for only $500.
Para. 2 'Daniel and I have always fantasized about flying private, but it's a luxury that we never thought that we would be able to pay for.' Ms. Raymond said.
Para. 3 ①The charter was a 'SuiteDeal' from the private jet company JetSuite. ②These last-minute deals for one-way private jet charters within the United State cost between $500 and $2,000, and the money the Raymonds paid was comfortably within their budget.
Para. 4 The Raymond's $500 trip is a more extreme example of how little flights on private jets can cost, but industry experts say that a trip on one today is less expensive than it ever has been in the past.
Para. 5 ①Steve Wooster, the managing director of services and air operations for the luxury travel network Virtuoso, said that the proliferation of private jet brands has led to these lower prices. ②'There are many more suppliers than there ever used to be, and competition means prices have dropped,' he said. ③'Private jet flying is now open to a diversity of passengers, not just C.E.O.'s.'
Para. 6 ①JetSmarter, around since 2013, is an example of a player in the private aviation space selling shared flights. ②The company operates on a membership model: Fliers pay a minimum of $15,000 a year and book seats on already scheduled flights through the JetSmarter app, which lists more than 150 domestic and international trips a day. ③Trips under three hours are included in the cost of the membership while longer ones are an average of $300 a person, according to Sergey Petrossov, the company's chief executive officer; most flights have an average of eight to 10 passengers.
Para. 7 ①Members who want to set their own schedule can create a flight and post it to JetSmarter's app so that other interested members can buy seats for the route and help reduce the cost of the charter; if all the seats on the plane sell, the member who created the flight flies for free. ②These crowdsourced trips usually top out at $2,000 a person, a fraction of the $8,000 or more per hour it can cost for a traditional charter. ③'My goal is to make private jet flying less elitist,' Mr. Petrossov said.
Para. 8 ①Blade, which doesn't require membership, also sells flights, but only from December through mid-March and on one route, between Westchester County Airport (with or without a helicopter transfer from Manhattan) and its own terminal in Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. ② From $1,285 each way, fliers travel on a Bombardier commercial jet retrofitted with 16 seats and receive an array of amenities such as catered meals from Dean Deluca as well as iPad Pros loaded with first-run movies; they also get accommodations for the weekend at Faena Miami, a luxury beachfront hotel.
Para. 9 The Miami route made its debut two years ago and has been so popular, said company founder Rob Wiesenthal, that this season, the flights will be offered four days a week, instead of the two days that they previously were.
单选题第一段①亚太是全球经济最大的板块,也是世界经济增长的一个主要引擎。②工商界是促进经济增长的生力军,是新发展理念的探索者、实践者。③这几年,每次出席亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议,我都抽出时间同工商界的朋友见面,共同探讨应对当前挑战的思路和举措。第二段④国际金融危机发生10年来,国际社会一起努力,推动世界经济逐步回到复苏的轨道。⑤今天,我们迎来了世界经济逐步向好的局面。⑥尽管仍然面临风险和不确定性,但全球贸易和投资回暖,金融市场预期向好,各方信心增强。第三段⑦我们正面临增长动能的深刻转变。⑧当前,改革创新成为各国化解挑战、谋求发展的方向。⑨结构性改革的正面效应和潜能持续释放,对各国经济增长的促进作用进一步显现。⑩新一轮科技和产业革命形成势头,数字经济、共享经济加速发展,新产业、新模式、新业态层出不穷,新的增长动能不断积聚。第四段发展之路没有终点,只有新的起点。“往者不可谏,来者犹可追。”世界正处在快速变化的历史进程之中,世界经济正在发生更深层次的变化。我们要洞察世界经济发展趋势,找准方位,果敢应对。
单选题 Para. 1 Iceland has discovered the secret to a booming tourist industry: First have a mammoth financial implosion, then an enormous volcanic explosion.
Para. 2 The collapse of the Icelandic krona after the 2008 financial crisis transformed this Arctic island packed with 35 active volcanoes into a top destination by making it cheap for visitors.
Para. 3 ①Two years later, Eyjafjallajokull erupted, spewing thick ash clouds into European skies. ②Millions of passengers were grounded for days and airlines suffered financial losses. ③But the explosion put Iceland on the map. ④The foreign news media descended on the island, beaming images around the world of spectacular landscapes, even as journalists struggled to pronounce the volcano's name.
Para. 4 ①'Iceland has been saved by the crash and the eruption,' said Fridrik Palsson, who owns Hotel Ranga, a luxury resort just 19 miles from the slopes of Eyjafjallajokull, the 16-letter volcano that is often shortened to E-16 by foreigners. ②'I have never seen anything take off so fast,' he said.
Para. 5 ①The combined effect of the catastrophes has been an invasion on a scale possibly unseen since Vikings raided the island hundreds of years ago. ②Tourists are expected to outnumber the local population of 330,000 by seven to one next year, according to official data. ③By comparison, last year visitors to France outnumbered the French by two to one.
Para. 6 Tourism is now the island's biggest industry, taking over from fishing and aluminum smelting, much as the financial sector did in the years before the crash.
Para. 7 ①Mr. Palsson, who used to sell Iceland as a place to see the Northern Lights, employs an astronomer in his hotel. ②He has also invested in three expensive telescopes that are powerful enough for guests to see the rings on Saturn or the fuzzy glow of a distant dying star.
Para. 8 ①Reykjavik, Iceland's capital, looks like a Scandinavian version of Singapore: compact, clean, orderly, and rich. ②Streets are lined with Crayola-color houses and Mercedes cars. ③Chic coffeehouses sell kale-and-date sandwiches, and play Ethiopian jazz. ④Restaurants offer inventive Nordic cuisine using local ingredients like puffin and shark,
Para. 9 ①The 101, a boutique hotel that was once an exclusive hangout for bankers (101 is also the city's richest postal code), is now filled with tourists. ②In a possible dig at the hotel's former denizens, a sculpture of what looked like a gray-suited banker hung on one wall, with a cryptic instruction, 'Disconnect the battery, remove the rear hood and hinge brackets,' inscribed beneath it.
Para. 10 ①Tourists come from as far as Hong Kong. ②They chase the Northern Lights. ③They scale glaciers. ④They dive in the Arctic Circle with puffins, go horseback riding or take helicopter tours listening to ethereal, whale-like sounds by the Icelandic band Sigur Ros. ⑤Fans of 'Game of Thrones' flock to filming locations around the island, some, apparently, genuinely in search of Wildlings.
单选题第一段①近年来,葡萄牙成功应对欧洲主权债务危机挑战,在发展国民经济、弘扬民族文化、促进社会进步等方面取得重要成就,古老大地不断焕发勃勃生机。②中国和葡萄牙虽然分处亚欧大陆东西两端,但两国人民友谊源远流长,历久弥坚。③几百年前,中国青花瓷漂洋过海来到葡萄牙,同当地瓷器制作技术相融合,形成了独具魅力的“葡萄牙蓝”。④葡萄牙东北部的弗雷索城很早就使用源于中国的桑蚕织造技术,享有“丝绸之乡”的美誉。第二段⑤当代,两国人民友好交往的佳话不断涌现。⑥一对中国老教师夫妇克服疾病困难,数十年如一日在葡萄牙教授中文、传播中华文化。⑦这样的故事还有很多,见证了两国人民跨越时空的友谊。⑧当前,中国和葡萄牙都处在各自发展的关键阶段。⑨中国正在全面深化改革,扩大对外开放。⑩葡萄牙也在励精图治,寻求更大发展。中方愿同葡方一道,共同创造中葡关系更加美好的明天。
单选题 当今,世界各国的实力较量涉及诸多因素,其中最重要的一个要素是市场规模。哪个国家的市场大,对其他国家的吸引力就越大,也越容易处于领先地位。中国有14亿人口,这就决定了它拥有世界上最大的消费市场。经济学家都认为,过去这些年,中国市场发展的速度是世界上最快的。
连续九年,中国是世界上最大的汽车市场。2016年,美国销售了1,700万辆汽车,同年中国则销售了2,400万辆。其中在中国的美国合资公司销售的汽车占比很大。中国还是世界上最大的智能手机市场,也是最大的服装、电商、国内旅游和农产品市场。中国市场展现了惊人的发展潜力。在中国,中产和富裕阶层人士迅速增长,年轻人有了全新的消费习惯,线上线下销售渠道覆盖了全国各地。随着医疗、养老产业不断发展,还将进一步提升中国人的消费能力。
单选题 作为远古人类留给我们的宝贵的文化遗产,岩画堪称是记载人类早期社会生活的百科全书,它不仅传承着源远流长的古代文明,也是史前人类文化、宗教、民俗以及原始艺术史的见证。
在世界上,中国岩画是诞生最早、分布最广、内容最丰富的国家之一,而贺兰山又是华夏土地上遗存最集中、题材最广泛、保存最完好的岩画地区之一。在贺兰山腹地,共发现20余处遗存岩画,其中最具代表性的是贺兰山贺兰口岩画。
贺兰山岩画在山口内外分布着近6000幅岩画,其中罕为人见的人面像岩画就有70幅之多。据考证,贺兰山口岩画是不同时期先后刻制的,大多为北方游牧民族创作。岩画造型粗犷稚拙、构图朴实自然,牛、马、驴、鹿、鸟、虎等动物栩栩如生,各种人头的造型同样是千奇百态。凭着自己对社会现实的理解与感悟,对美好生活的追求与向往,把自己的亲身感受与体验,忠实地记录在岩石之上,同时也为后人留下了神秘瑰丽的贺兰山岩画。
有学者说贺兰口是史前人类凭借自然魅力打造的祭祀圣地,又有专家认为,贺兰口岩画是象形文字前的图画文字,在文字没有发明前,这里的人们艰难地把他们的理想、愿望、欢乐、悲伤,通过岩画的形式表现出来。于是,在亘古不变的贺兰山上,写就了一部史前人类的“天书”。
单选题 他是个极其自负的怪人。除非事情与自己有关,否则他从来不屑对世界或世人瞧上一眼。对他来说,他不仅是世界上最重要的人物,而且在他眼里,他是惟一活在世界上的人。他认为自己是世界上最伟大的戏剧家之一、最伟大的思想家之一、最伟大的作曲家之一。听听他的谈话,仿佛他就是莎士比亚、柏拉图、贝多芬三人集于一身。想要听到他的高论十分容易,他是世上最能使人精疲力竭的健谈者之一。同他度过一个夜晚,就是听他一个人滔滔不绝地说上一晚。有时,他才华横溢;有时,他又令人极其厌烦。但无论是妙趣横生还是枯燥无味,他的谈话只有一个主题:他自己,他的所思所为。
他狂妄地认为自己总是正确的。任何人在最无足轻重的问题上露出丝毫的异议,都会激起他的谴责。他可能会一连好几个小时滔滔不绝,千方百计地证明自己如何如何正确。有了这种使人耗尽心力的雄辩本事,听者最后都被他弄得头昏脑涨,耳朵发聋,为了图个清净,只好同意他的说法。
