填空题· Read the article below about people who buy clothes as an investment.· For each question (31-40), write one word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet. {{B}} The Rag Trade{{/B}} There is one kind of clothes shopper whose selections never leave the bag they come in. They know exactly what they want and they go in and get it, often buying in bulk, and often with little regard for {{U}}(31) {{/U}} this latest fashion even fits them. These are the fashion investors, and they are out to make money. Once, the only way to profit from fashion as a collectable item was to buy rare, vintage or antique garments {{U}}(32) {{/U}} mint condition - an expensive business and still {{U}}(33) {{/U}} which offers relatively risky returns. The modern way has collectors buying more mainstream fashion items that are in the shops now, in {{U}}(34) {{/U}} knowledge that they will appreciate consider- ably over just a {{U}}(35) {{/U}} years. The returns on fashion investments are not always massive, although estimates of a four hundred per cent return are {{U}}(36) {{/U}} uncommon. Certainly they are considerably better than the return offered by a high interest savings account and, {{U}}(37) {{/U}} those who are experts, better than the stock market. The knowledge necessary for fashion investing means investors invariably work in the fashion industry. They often know {{U}}(38) {{/U}} is going to catch on before the fashion press does and they know where and through whom products can be bought. They can spot what is disposable high fashion now but will {{U}}(39) {{/U}} on to become a classic of its time in years to come, worth far more than they laid {{U}}(40) {{/U}} for it originally.

填空题A Currently, economic activities in China remain controlled by a government that often makes its decisions based on the unpublished rules, and when the rules are published, they are often vague and unclear to the public and overseas businesses. Appeals are made all the more difficult with no public basis for the initial decisions. The WTO requirements of transparency and justice will help the Chinese state make arbitrary decisions over business activities and economic life. B By requiring the clear publication of quotas and tariff rates-by making them more transparent and public-the arbitrary discretion of local officials to determine whether and at what price a local enterprise can import a foreign product that might be an important input to goods or service will be taken away. In doing so, this agreement not only promotes economic efficiency for American exporters, but also undercuts arbitrary control and promotes the ability of local entrepreneurs to freely contract with foreign importers based not on party connections but on what makes economic sense. Economic freedom and economic efficiency gain at the same time. C The same is true for the free movement of goods. Currently, anybody who does business in China will view distribution as, at best, a headache. The Chinese government controls virtually all aspects of the movement of goods, whether goods can be imported at all, the terms under which it enters, who can bring it in, and who can distribute, sell and service it. Importing and exporting, and distribution rights are privileges granted by the Chinese government to only to a few. D China's WTO commitments in these areas are quite significant. The agreement changes these scarcely allotted privileges into rights that will be widely available to both Chinese and foreign businesses. China has agreed that in 3 years, all individuals and entities in China will be able to import most products into any part of China, and that foreign firms will be able to set up, own and operate their own distribution and related services. It will certainly help promote and enhance the economic activities and people throughout the world would enjoy the freedom of businesses. E Again, however, the benefits go beyond economic efficiency. Every time the multiple areas in which people must seek permission from the government for distribution or trading are reduced, the potential for a larger number of business transactions between Chinese entrepreneurs and American entrepreneurs is increased. As the weight of the government on everyday transactions becomes lighter, layers of middlemen are eliminated, and more and more Chinese salesmen, repairmen, and consumers will come into direct and daily contact with each other and with foreign companies.
