Passage 1

 

China’s cautious approach to foreign borrowing is to be maintained, at least for the time being. The debt problems confronting a number of developing countries have reinforced China’s determination to introduce foreign technology by means of direct investment and concessionary finance rather than by raising substantial sums of money on the international capital markets. Foreign investment is advantageous insofar as it facilitates the transfer of technology and skills and avoids creating an overhang of debt. The authorities do not consider it appropriate to incur large amounts of external debt until a number of practical bottlenecks in the economy, such as an inadequate transport network and energy constraints, have been tackle D. China’s access to substantial sums of money from the World Bank also reduces the need to borrow on commercial terms.

 

36. Why did China refuse to borrow more until her transport capacity and energy supply have further increased?

 

37. What does “borrow on commercial terms” imply here?

 

38. Why does China prefer loans from the World Bank?

Major investment is going into the Dubai-based Emirates airline, which added four new destinations last summer—Rome, Zurich, Paris and Jakarta—and on 14 April started operations to Dhahran, its 31st destination. Emirates now employs almost 3,500 staff, making it one of Dubai’s largest employers.

39. What is meant by “Dubai-based”?

 

40. What does the underlined word “Emirates” stand for here?

 

41. What does “which” represent in the second paragraph?

 

五、Read the following passages and decide whether the statements are true or false （本大題共10小題，每小題2分，共20分）

 

Passage 1

 

By 1991 the level of foreign indebtedness has drastically altered the role that many developing countries play in the world trading system. Imports had been severely cut back and there was evidence of a scramble to export additional products, such as timber(木材), at heavy cost to the environment. Debt had emerged as the biggest single obstacle to development, with about 50 developing countries carrying a severe debt burden, over half of them in Africa.

 

At the end of 1990, developing countries owed $1,280 billion to Western countries, international aid agencies, the IMF, and banks. Their yearly earnings from international trade were under $1,000 billion; the overall debt of developing countries was therefore more than the value of their exports. To service that debt—to pay interest and repay part of the capital—cost developing countries $143. 5 billion in 1990. They received $85 billion in aid and investment from abroad, thus paying richer countries nearly $60 billion more than they receive D. New aids and investment was wiped ou
