2023-2024学年江西省赣州市赣州市部分学校联考高二上学期11月期中英语试题If you are seeking to unlock the secrets to success, here are four books that offer invaluable wisdom and practical advice to help you along your path.The 7 Habits of Highly Effective PeopleStephen R. Covey’s timeless classic outlines seven foundational principles for personal and professional success. From proactive (积极主动的) decision-making to effective leadership and interpersonal skills, this book stresses the importance of matching personal values with actions. It serves as a powerful guide to achieving long-term success and building meaningful relationships.Outliers: The Story of SuccessIn the book, Malcolm Gladwell explores the factors that contribute to exceptional success. Through insightful case studies, Gladwell challenges traditional thoughts of talent and hard work, stressing the importance of opportunities, cultural backgrounds, and deliberate practice. This thought-provoking book encourages readers to rethink their approaches to success and shows the importance of making use of unique circumstances.Mindset: The New Psychology of SuccessIn the book, Carol S. Dweck explores the power of mindset and its effect on personal growth and achievement. By distinguishing between a “fixed mindset” and a “growth mindset”, Dweck highlights how accepting challenges, maintaining resilience, and cultivating a love for learning can lead to remarkable success. This book provides valuable insights for transforming obstacles (障碍) into opportunities for growth.PrinciplesRay Dalio’s Principles is a transformative guidebook packed with valuable insights. Drawing on his extensive experience in investment management, Dalio shares practical wisdom for success. The book offers actionable principles for decision-making, problem-solving, and personal growth. By applying these principles, readers can deal with challenges, seize opportunities, and make a meaningful impact.1. Which factors contributing to success does the second book stress?A.Talent and hard work. B.Creative thinking and teamwork.C.Chances and cultural backgrounds. D.Adventurous action and confidence.2. Whose book highlights the impact of mentality on individual development?A.Stephen R. Covey’s.B.Malcolm Gladwell’s.C.Carol S. Dweck’s.D.Ray Dalio’s.3. What is the text?A.A piece of news of new authors. B.A recommendation on books.C.A paper on the secrets to success. D.A text on successfully writing books.In 1999, Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles. She had just completed a PhD in Language, Literacy and Learning, and she was analyzing children’s access to books in wealthy and low income communities.One day, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks. “I was at a school in a wealthy community, and they were getting rid of almost brand-new books because they didn’t have room in the library,” said Constantino. She put the books in her car and drove them to a school in an underserved community.Shocked by the difference she saw in public school libraries, Constantino became determined to bridge th e gap. “School libraries are not funded well, and sometimes not funded at all,” said Constantino. “If you’re a child in an underserved community, you’re left with boring, outdated, and uninteresting books.”The word about Constantino’s work was spread, and books began piling up. Today, her nonprofit organization, Access Books, has provided more than 1.5 million books to public- school and community libraries across California. The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.Constantino recruits (招募) volunteers who work alongside the community to create a warm, vibrant (充满生机的) and welcoming library space. Students and their families, as well as school staff and teachers, come together to join in. “We’re working together. It’s not a gift; it’s a partnership. It really builds a sense of community,”said Constantino.In addition to book donations and refurbishing (再装修) libraries, the group offers author visits with schools and holds an annual writers conference for kids. Constantino said, “If we provide high-interest books and a beautiful library space, they do come and they do read. We found that in the schools that we serve, the number of books borrowed increases significantly after our coming. So we know that kids are really interested in the books that we give. My goal is that kids can always have a friend in a book and they can always turn to a book to find comfort and to learn something.”4. Why did Constantino do the study in 1999?A.To prepare for a PhD.B.To reduce the waste of books.C.To donate more books to poor communities.D.To figure out kids’ ways of gaining reading books.5. How did Constantino bridge the gap?A.By obtaining donated books.B.By raising money on the street.C.By founding a profitable organization.D.By getting support from the local government.6. Which can best describe Constantino’s work?A.Ambitious. B.Controversial. C.Depressing. D.Successful.7. What impact does the nonprofit organization have on kids in poor communities?A.They are more willing to read books.B.They can turn to writers on campus.C.They donate their own books to school libraries.D.They think the books on the shelf difficult to read.Finding low-cost sustainable building materials is important for the environment and in providing access to affordable housing. Researchers have created a composite (复合的) building material by replacing sand in building materials with a common, non-degradable (不可降解的) waste product: used disposable diapers (一次性尿布).Driven b y a desire to solve Indonesia’s significant population growth and demand for low-cost housing, researchers looked for a way of maintaining the benefits of building materials but making it more environmentally friendly and cheaper to produce. Building material samples containing different proportions (比例) of disposable diaper waste were tested. Then the researchers calculated the maximum amount of sand that could be replaced with diaper waste, finding that up to 8% of the sand could be replaced to safely construct a house with 36 square meters. 10% of the sand could be replaced in a three-story house and 27% in a single- story house. In terms of the materials used to create partition walls (隔断墙), the researchers said they could replace up to 40% of sand.“Th is research has concluded that adding used diapers to building materials does not significantly weaken its strength, ” the team stated. “It proves using diapers to create composite materials is feasible, particularly concerning the development of environmentally friendly and cost-effective materials. ”Indonesia is ranked sixth globally for disposable diaper usage. Many used diapers are thrown away in the country’s rivers and waterways, causing pollution. In 2019, the total waste in Indonesia was 29. 21 million tons. This figure rose to 32. 76 million tons in 2020.However, the researchers know the current limitations of using waste diapers as a construction material. For one thing, it would require engagement with waste treatment facilities to collect used diapers from households and deal with them. Secondly, machines that cut up the used diapers would be needed on a large scale.Nonetheless, the research highlights the potential for using non-degradable waste, addressing sustainability issues and providing low-cost housing.8. Which is an advantage of replacing sand with used disposable diapers?A.Lowering carbon footprint. B.Speeding up the construction of housing.C.Increasing the weight of building materials. D.Improving the quality of building materials.9. What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Enormous. B.Conservative. C.Practical. D.Urgent.10. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 4?A.To introduce a topic. B.To attract the readers.C.To draw a conclusion. D.To provide background information.11. What can be the best title for the text?A.Building Materials Are in Great DemandB.Indonesia’s Awareness of Environmental ProtectionC.A Further Study on Materials of Disposable DiapersD.Waste Disposable Diapers Lay the Foundation for Future HomesWhen scientists talk about recent extinctions, birds and mammals (哺乳动物) get most of the attention. But the first global analysis of its kind finds it is twice as many plants that have disappeared as birds, mammals, and amphibians (两栖动物) combined.Researchers reviewed published research, international databases, and museum specimens such as grasses from Madagascar, finding that 571 plants species have gone extinct in the past 250 years. One reason why the total is higher than that of the well-studied animals is that there are simply more species of plants. Looking at percentages, the situation is worse for mammals and birds. An estimated 5% of those species have gone extinct, compared with 0.2% of plants.The loss includes the Chile sandalwood tree in the South Pacific, which was cut down for its fragrant (芳香的) wood. It was last seen on Robinson Crusoe Island in 1908. The extinction rates among plants have been highest for trees and shrubs on islands, which often have species that occur nowhere else, and in regions with rich diversity, especially the tropics and in Mediterranean climates.Just a few years later, the world lost the banded Trinity (Thismia americana), a leafless plant that grew entirely underground except for its flowers. Most species of this kind of plant grow in rainforests, but this plant was first described in 1912 in a sandy wetland in Chicago, Illinois, and was wiped out by development.According to the team’s report in Nature Ecol ogy & Evolution, the total of 571 extinct plant species is four times higher than the official listing kept by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Even so, it is probably still an underestimate (低估), as less is known about the status of plants in Africa and South America than on other continents. Many of these species may disappear, too. A major review of the status of global biodiversity recently estimated that more than a million species, including 14% of plant and animal diversity, are threatened with extinction.12. What caused the extinction of the Chile sandalwood tree?A.Climate change. B.The market demand.C.Environmental pollution. D.The decline of the habitat.13. What do we know about the banded trinity?A.It flowered without bearing seeds.B.It disappeared during the 19th century.C.It was a flowering plant without leaves.D.It was a rare plant growing underground.14. What can we infer about the plant species from the text?A.Their current situation is more worrying.B.About one plant species dies out every year.C.More plant species will keep alive in the reserve.D.They would be replaced by other new species soon.15. In which section of the newspaper can we find the text?A.Sports. B.Nature. C.Entertainment. D.Figures.Words of SupportWhen your friends have doubts about their work or think their latest idea is second-rate, you’ve probably felt unsure about just how to support. But being there for people you love can be a positive experience for both sides. 16 Read on for tips on how to show your support.Be positive. One way to offer support is to remind your friends of any previous occasions when they doubted themselves or their writing but their English teacher thought it was great and gave them a top mark. If they’re still worried, you could highlight what you like in the work. Be as specific as you can about these areas. 17Be supportive. The golden rule is to be supportive and to help people grow and develop. 18 This provides the person with something c oncrete that they can change and means they’re less likely to feel they’re being unfairly criticised or that there’s nothing they can do to make things better.Be patient. 19 This can help them feel valued. If someone hasn’t requested your opinions but t hey seem unsure of what they’ve done and you’re familiar with the subject, you could ask if they’d be OK to hear your thoughts.20 Part of being supportive and honest is appreciating when people treat you with the same respect and learning from what they know and the words of encouragement they share with you.Life can throw us something difficult, but, every now and then, a ray of sunshine breaks through the clouds.There’s an elderly lady in Boston who has her own heartwarming_______.

审查制度英文作文Here is an essay on the topic of "Review System" with over 1000 words, written in English without any additional title or superfluous punctuation marks.The concept of a review system is a crucial component of various industries and organizations. It serves as a mechanism to assess the performance, quality, and effectiveness of products, services, or processes. The review system provides valuable feedback, identifies areas for improvement, and ensures that standards are maintained. In this essay, we will explore the significance of review systems, their implementation, and the benefits they offer.One of the primary purposes of a review system is to evaluate the quality and performance of a particular entity. Whether it's a product, service, or even an individual's work, a well-structured review system can provide a comprehensive assessment. This assessment can include factors such as functionality, durability, customer satisfaction, and adherence to established guidelines or regulations. By conducting regular reviews, organizations can identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas that require attention, enabling them to make informed decisions and implement necessary changes.Another important aspect of review systems is their role in fostering continuous improvement. Through the feedback and insights gained from the review process, organizations can identify opportunities for enhancement and implement corrective measures. This iterative approach allows for the refinement of products, services, or processes, ensuring that they remain relevant, efficient, and meet the evolving needs of the target audience. By embracing a culture of continuous improvement, organizations can stay ahead of the competition and maintain a competitive edge in the market.Review systems also play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards. In many sectors, such as healthcare, finance, or aviation, there are strict guidelines and regulations that must be adhered to. A robust review system helps organizations verify that their operations, procedures, and practices align with these requirements. This not only mitigates the risk of legal or regulatory infractions but also enhances the credibility and trustworthiness of the organization in the eyes of stakeholders, customers, and regulatory bodies.Effective implementation of a review system requires a well-defined framework and clear criteria for evaluation. This framework should outline the specific metrics, benchmarks, and performance indicators that will be used to assess the entity under review. Additionally, thereview process should involve a diverse range of stakeholders, including subject matter experts, end-users, and independent assessors, to ensure a comprehensive and unbiased evaluation. By incorporating multiple perspectives, the review system can capture a holistic understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.One of the key benefits of a robust review system is its ability to drive accountability and responsibility within an organization. By establishing clear performance expectations and regularly evaluating progress, individuals and teams are held accountable for their actions and the outcomes they produce. This accountability fosters a culture of ownership, where employees are motivated to take ownership of their work and strive for excellence. Furthermore, the review system can serve as a tool for identifying and recognizing high-performing individuals, which can positively impact employee morale, retention, and career development.Review systems also play a crucial role in the decision-making process. The insights and data gathered through the review process can inform strategic decisions, resource allocation, and the prioritization of initiatives. By basing decisions on factual evidence and objective assessments, organizations can make more informed choices that align with their overall goals and objectives. This data-driven approach helps to minimize the risk of subjective or biaseddecision-making, leading to more effective and sustainable outcomes.In addition to the internal benefits, review systems can also have a significant impact on external stakeholders, such as customers, partners, and regulatory bodies. By demonstrating a commitment to quality, transparency, and continuous improvement, organizations can build trust, enhance their reputation, and differentiate themselves from competitors. Customers, in particular, are increasingly seeking out products and services that have undergone rigorous review and quality assurance processes, as it provides them with a sense of confidence and assurance in the value they are receiving.However, it is important to note that the implementation of a review system is not without its challenges. Resistance to change, resource constraints, and the complexity of the review process itself can all present obstacles to the successful adoption and integration of a review system. Organizations must be willing to invest time, resources, and effort into developing and maintaining a robust review framework, as well as fostering a culture that embraces the value of continuous improvement.In conclusion, the review system is a critical component of organizational success. By providing a structured and objectiveassessment of performance, quality, and compliance, review systems enable organizations to identify areas for improvement, drive continuous enhancement, and make informed decisions. The benefits of a well-designed review system extend beyond the internal operations, as they can also enhance external stakeholder trust and differentiate an organization in the marketplace. As the business landscape continues to evolve, the importance of effective review systems will only continue to grow, making it a crucial element in the pursuit of excellence and sustainable success.。

In 1662, the newly formed “Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge” was grante d a charter to publish by King Charles II and on 6 March 1665, the first issue of Philosophical Transactions was published under the visionary editorship of Henry Oldenburg, who was also the Secretary of the Society. The first volumes of the world's first scientific journal were very different from today's journal, but in essence it served the same function,namely to inform the Fellows of the Society and other interested readers of the latest scientific discoveries. As such, Philosophical Transactions established the important principles of scientific priority and peer review, which have become the central foundations of scientific journals ever since. In 1886, the breadth and scope of scientific discovery had increased to such an extent that it became necessary to divide the journal into two, Philosophical TransactionsA and B, covering the physical sciences and the life sciences respectively.2.

Model Course 1.19Proficiency inPersonal Survival Techniques First published in 1998 by theINTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION4 Albert Embankment,London SE1 7SRRevised edition,2000Printed in the United Kingdom by Ashford Press4 6 8 1 0 9 7 5ISBN-13:978-92-801-6119-9ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSIMO wishes to express its sincere appreciation to theNorwegian Maritime Directorate for its valuableassistance and co-operation.Copyright © International Maritime Organization 2000All rights reserved.No part of this publication maybe reproduced,stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any formor by any means,electronic without priorpermission in writingfrom the International Maritime Organization.ForewordSince its inception the International Maritime Organization has recognized the importance of human resources to the development of the madtime industry and has given the highest priority to assisting developing countries in enhancing their maritime training capabilities through the provision or improvement of maritime training facilities at national and regional levels.IMO has also responded to the needs of developing countries for postgraduate training for senior personnel in administration,ports,shipping companies and maritime training institutes by establishing the World Maritime University in Malm O ,Sweden,in 1983.Following the earlier adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training,Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers,1978,a number of IMO Member Governments had suggested that IMO should develop model training courses to assist in the implementation of the Convention and in achieving a more rapid transfer of information and skills regaling new developments in maritime technology.IMO training advisers and consultants also subsequently determined from their visits to training establishments in developing countries that the provision of model courses could help instructors improve the quality of their existing courses and enhance their effectiveness in meeting the requirements of the Convention and implementing the associated Conference and IMO Assembly resolutions.In addition,it was appreciated that a comprehensive set of short model courses in various fields of maritime training would supplement the instruction provided by maritime academies and allow administrators and technical specialists already employed in maritime administrations,ports and shipping companies to improve their knowledge and skills in certain specialized fields.IMO has therefore developed the current series of model courses in response to these generally identified needs and with the generous assistance of Norway.These model courses may be used by any training institution and the Organization is prepared to assist developing countries in implementing any course when the requisite financing is available.W.A.O’NEILSecretary-GeneralCONTENTSPageForeword v Introduction1 Part A:Course Framework4 Part B:Course 0utline and Timetable7 Part C:Detailed Teaching Syllabus11 Part D:Instructor Manual23 Attachment:Guidance on the implementation of IMO model coursesIntroduction■Purpose of the model coursesThe purpose of the IMO model courses is to assist maritime training institutes and theirteaching staff in organizing and introducing new training courses,or in enhancing,updatingor supplementing existing training material where the quality and effectiveness of the trainingcourses may thereby be improved.It is not the intention of the model course programme to present instructors with a rigid“teaching package”which they are expected to"follow blindly".Nor is it the intention tosubstitute audiovisual or“programmed”material for the instructor's presence.As in all training endeavours,the knowledge,skills and dedication of the instructor are the key components inthe transfer of knowledge and skills to those being trained through IMO model course material.Because educational systems and the cultural backgrounds of trainees in maritime subjectsvary considerably from country to country,the model course material has been designed toidentify the basic entry requirements and trainee target group for each course in universallyapplicable terms,and to specify cleady the technical content and levels of knowledge and skill necessary to meet the technical intent of IMO conventions and related recommendations.■Use of the model courseTo use the model course the lnstructor should review the course plan and detailed syllabus,taking into account the information provided under the entry standards specified in the course framework.The actual level of knowledge and skills and prior technical education of thetrainees should be kept in mind during this review,and any areas within the detailed syllabuswhich may cause difficulties because of differences between the actual trainee entry level andthat assumed by the course designer should be identified.To compensate for suchdifferences,the instructor is expected to delete from the course,or reduce the emphasis on,items dealing with knowledge or skills already attained by the trainees.He should also identify any academic knowledge,skills or technical training which they may not have acquired.By analysing the detailed syllabus and the academic knowledge required to allow training in the technical area to proceed,the instructor can design an appropriate pre-entry course or,alternatively,insert the elements of academic knowledge required to support the technical training elements concerned at appropriate points within the technical course.Adjustment of the course objectives,scope and content may also be necessary if in your maritime industry the trainees completing the course are to undertake duties which differ from the course objectives specified in the model course.Within the course plan the course designers have indicated their assessment of the time which should be allotted to each learning area.However,it must be appreciated that these allocations are arbitrary and assume that the trainees have fully met all the entry requirements of the course.The instructor should therefore review these assessments and mayneed to reallocate the time required to achieve each specific learning objective.■Lesson plansHaving adjusted the course content to suit the trainee intake and any revision of the course objectives,the instructor should draw up lesson plans based on the detailed syllabus.The detailed syllabus contains specific references to the textbooks or teaching material proposedto be used in the course.An example of a lesson plan is shown in the Instructor manual on page 27.Where no adjustment has been found necessary in the learning objectives of the detailed syllabus,the lesson plans may simply consist of the detailed syllabus with keywords or other reminders added to assist the instructor in making his presentation of the material.■PresentationThe presentation of concepts and methodologies must be repeated in various ways until the instructor is satisfied,by testing and evaluating the trainee's performance and achievements,that the trainee has attained each specific learning objective or training outcome.The syllabus is laid out in learning objective format and each objective specifies a required performance or,what the trainee must be able to do as the learning or training outcome.Taken as a whole,these objectives aim to meet the knowledge,understanding and proficiency specified in the appropriate tables of the STCW Code.■ImplementationFor the course to run smoothly and to be effective,considerable attention must be paid to the availability and use of:·properly qualified instructors·support staff·rooms and other spaces·equipment·textbooks,technical papers·other reference material.Thorough preparation is the key to successful implementation of the course.IMO has produced a booklet entitled“Guidance on the implementation of IMO model courses”.which deals with this aspect in greater detail.■Training and the STCW 1995 ConventionThe standards of competence that have to be met by seafarers are defined in Part A of the STCW Code in the Standards of Training,Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers Convention,as amended in 1995.This IMO model course has been revised and updated to cover the competences in STCW 1995.It sets out the education and training to achieve those standards set out in Chapter VI,Table A-VI/1-1 of the STCW Code.Part A provides the framework for the course with its aims and objectives and notes on the suggested teaching facilities and equipment.A list of useful teaching aids,IMO references and textbooks is also included.Part B provides an outline of lectures.demonstrations and exercises for the course.A suggested timetable is included,but from the teaching and learning point of view,it is more important that the tminee achieves the minjmum standard of competence defined in the STCW Code than that a strict timetable is followed.Depending on their expedence and ability,some students will naturally take longer to become proficient in some topics than in others.Also included in this section are guidance notes and additional explanations.A separate IMO model course addresses Assessment of Competence.This course explainsthe use of various methods for demonstrating competence and criteria for evaluating competence as tabulated in the STCW Code.Part C gives the Detailed Teaching Syllabus.This is based on the theoretical and practical knowledge specified in the STCW Code.It is written as a series of learning objectives,in other words what the trainee is expected to be able to do as a result of the teaching and training.Each of the objectives is expanded to define a required performance of knowledge,undemtanding and proficiency.IMO references,textbook references and suggested teaching aids are included to assist the teacher in designing lessons.The new training requirements for these competences are addressed in the appropriate partsof the detailed teaching syllabus.The Convention defines the minimum standards to be maintained in Part A of the STCW Code.Mandatory provisions conceming Training and Assessment are given in Section A-I/6of the STCW Code.These provisions cover:qualification of instructors;supervisors as assessors;in-service training;assessment of competence;and training and assessment within an institution.The corresponding Part B of the STCW Code contains non-mandatory guidance on training and assessment.The criteria for evaluating competence in Table A-VI/1-1 of the STCW Code are to be usedin the assessment of the competences listed in the table.As previously mentioned,a separate model course addresses Assessment of Competenceand use of the criteria for evaluating competence tabulated in the STCW Code.■Responsibilities of AdministrationsAdministrations should ensure that training courses delivered by colleges and academies aresuch as to ensure those completing training do meet the standards of competence.■ValidationThe information contained in this document has been validated by the Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping for use by technical advisors,consultants andexperts for the training and certification of seafarers so that the minimum standards implemented may be as uniform as possible.Validation in the context of this document means that the Sub-Committee has found no grounds to object to its content.The Sub-Committeehas not granted its approval to the documents,as it considers that this work must not be regarded as an official interpretation of the Convention.In reaching a decision in this regard,the Sub-Committee was guided by the advice of a Validation Group comprised of representatives designated by ILO and IMO.Part A:Course Framework■AimsThis model course aims to meet the mandatory minimum requirements for seafarers for familiarization,basic safety training and instruction in accordance with Section A-VI/1 of STCW Code.■ObjectiveThis syllabus covers the requirements of the 1995 STCW Convention and Code Chapter VI,Section A-VI/1.On meeting the minimum standard of competence in personal survival techniques,a trainee will be able to survive at sea in the event of ship abandonment.The trainee will be able to:·don a lifejacket·don and use an immersion suit·safely jump from a height into the water·right an inverted liferaft while wearing a lifejacket·swim while wearing a lifejacket·keep afloat without a lifejacket·board a survival craft from ship and water while wearing a lifejacket·take initial actions on boarding survival craft to enhance chance of survival·stream a drogue or sea-anchor·operate survival craft equipment·operate location devices,including radio equipment.■Entry standardsThis course is principally intended as basic training for seafarers employed or engaged in any capacity on board ship as part of the ship's complement with designated safety duties in operation of the ship.There are no particular educational requirements.All trainees must be certified by a doctor to be in good health.■Course certificate or documentOn successful completion of the course and demonstration of competence,a document may be issued certifying that the holder has met the standard of competence specified in Table A-VI/1-1 Of STCW 1995.A certificate may be issued only by centres approved by the Administration.■Course intake limitationsThe maximum number of trainees attending each session will depend on the availability of instructors,equipment and facilities available for conducting the training.The number should not,at any time,exceed

This is one of the most important and difficult chapters in the book. It is also a long chapter andrequires four lectures to cover adequately.2. In the first lecture, I would cover sections 1-3. Section 3 is one of the most important sections inthe book because it presents the H-O model. I would proceed slowly and carefully in explaining Figure 4.1 and compare it to the standard trade model of Figure 3.4.3. In the second lecture, I would cover sections 4 and 5. Section 4 on the factor-price equalizationtheorem and income distribution is a difficult section. Case Study 4-2 should be of great interest to the students and give rise to a great deal of class discussion.4. In third lecture, I would cover sections sections 6-7, paying a great deal of attention to section 7on trade in differentiated products.5. In fourth lecture, I would cover the rest of the chapter.Answers to Review Questions and Problems1. a. The Heckscher–Ohlin (H-0) theorem postulates that a nation will export those commodi- ties whose production requires the intensive use of the nation’s relatively abundant and cheap factor and import the commodities whose production requires the intensive useof the nation’s relatively scarce and expensive factor. In short, the relatively labor-richnation exports relatively labor-intensive commodities and imports the relativelycapital-intensive commodities.b. Heckscher and Ohlin identify the relative difference in factor endowments amongnations as the basic determinant of comparative advantage and international trade.c. The H-O Theory represent an extension of the standard trade model because it explains the basis for comparative advantage (classical economists, such as Ricardo had assumed it) and examines the effect of international trade on factor prices and income distribution (which classical economists had left unanswered).2. See Figure 1 on the next page.3. a. The factor–price equalization theorem postulates that international trade will bring about the equalization of the returns to homogeneous or identical factors across nations.b. The Stopler-Samuelson theorem postulates that free international trade reduces the realincome of the nation’s relatively scarce factor and increases the real income of the nation’s relatively abundant factor.Fig 4.1Fig 4.2XXb. The specific-factors model postulates that the opening of trade (1) benefits the specific factorused in the production of the nation’s export commodity, (2) harms the specific factor used in the production of the nation’s import-competing industry, and (3) leads to an ambiguouseffect (i.e., it may benefit or harm) the mobile factor.c. Trade acts as a substitute for the international mobility of factors of production in itseffect on factor prices. With perfect mobility, labor would migrate from the low-wagenation to the high-wage nation until wages in the two nations are equalized. Similarly,capital would move from the low-interest to the high-interest nation until the rate ofinterest was equalized in the two nations.4. a. The Leontief paradox refers to the original Leontief’s finding that U.S. import substituteswere more K-intensive than U.S. exports. This was the opposite of what the H-O theorempostulated.b. The Leontief paradox was resolved by including human capital into the calculations andexcluding industries based on natural resources. Recent research using data on many sectors, for many countries, over many years, and considering that countries could specialize in aparticular subset or group of commodities that were best suited to their specific factorendowments, provides strong support for the H-O theorem.c. The Hecksher-Olhin theory remains the centerpiece of modern trade theory for explaininginternational trade today. To be sure, there are other forces (such as economies of scale,product differentiation, and technological differences across countries) that provide additional reasons and explanations for some international trade not explained by the basic H-O model.These other trade theories complement the basic H-O model in explaining the pattern ofinternational trade in the world today.5. International trade with developing economies, especially newly industrializing economies (NIEs), contributed in two ways to increased wage inequalities between skilled and unskilled workers in the United States during the past two decades. Directly, by reducing the demand for unskilledworkers as a result of increased U.S. imports of labor-intensive manufactures and, indirectly, byspeeding up the introduction of labor-saving innovations, which further reduced the U.S.demand for unskilled workers. International trade, however, was only a small cause of increased wage inequalities in the United States. The most important cause was technological change.6. a. Economies of scale refer to the production situation where output grows proportionatelymore than the increase in inputs or factors of production. For example, output may morethan double with a doubling of inputs.b. Even if two nations were identical in every respect, there is still a basis for mutually bene-ficial trade based on economies of scale. When each nation specializes in the production of one commodity, the combined total world output of both commodities will be greater thanthan without specialization when economies of scale are present. With trade, each nationthen shares in these gains.c. The new international economies of scale refers to the increase in productivity resultingfrom firms purchasing parts and components from nations where they are made cheaperand better, and by establishing production facilities abroad-26-7. a. Product differentiation refers to products that are similar, but not identical. Intra-industrytrade refers to trade in differentiated products, as opposed to inter-industry trade incompletely different products.b. Intra-industry trade arises in order to take advantage of important economies of scale inproduction. That is, with intra-industry trade each firm or plant in industrial countries canspecialize in the production of only one, or at most a few, varieties and styles of the sameproduct rather than many different varieties and styles of a product and achieve economies of scale.c. With few varieties and styles, more specialized and faster machinery can be developedfor a continuous operation and a longer production run. The nation then imports othervarieties and styles from other nations. Intra-industry trade benefits consumers because ofthe wider range of choices (i.e., the greater variety of differentiated products) available atthe lower prices made possible by economies of scale in production.8. a. According to the technological gap model, a firm exports a new product until imitators incountries take away its market. In the meantime, the innovating firm will have introduced a new product or process. b. The criticism of the technological gap model are that it does not explain the size of techno- logical gaps and does not explore the reason for technological gaps arising in the first place, or exactly how they are eliminated over time.c. The five stages of the product cycle model are: the introduction of the product, expansion of production for export, standardization and beginning of production abroad through imitation, foreign imitators underselling the nation in third markets, and foreigners underselling theinnovating firms in their home market as well.9. See Figure 2 on page 25.10. A nation with lower environmental standards can use the environment as a resource endow-ment or as a factor of production in attracting polluting firms from abroad and achieving acomparative advantage in the production of polluting goods and services. This can lead totrade disputes with nations with more stringent environmental standards.-27-Multiple-Choice Questions1.

Assume that both the United States and Germany produce beef and computer chips with the following costs: United States Germany(dollars) (marks)Unit cost of beef (B) 2 8Unit cost of computer chips (C) 1 2(a) What is the opportunity cost of beef (B) and computer chips (C) in each country?(b) In which commodity does the United States have a comparative cost advantage?What about Germany?(c) What is the range for mutually beneficial trade between the United States and Germanyfor each computer chip traded?(b) How much would the United States and Germany gain if 1 unit of beef is exchangedfor 3 chips?Answ. (a) In the United States:the opportunity cost of one unit of beef is 2 chips;the opportunity cost of one chip is 1/2 unit of beef.In Germany:the opportunity cost of one unit of beef is 4 chips;the opportunity cost of one chip is 1/4 unit of beef.(b) The United States has a comparative cost advantage in beef with respect to Germany,while Germany has a comparative cost advantage in computer chips.(c) The range for mutually beneficial trade between the United States and Germany foreach unit of beef that the United States exports is2C < 1B < 4C(d) Both the United States and Germany would gain 1 chip for each unit of beef traded.2. Given: (1) two nations (1 and 2) which have the same technology but different factor costs conditions, and (3) no transportation costs, tariffs, or other obstructions to trade.Prove geometrically that mutually advantageous trade between the two nations is possible.Note: Your answer should show the autarky (no-trade) and free-trade points of production and consumption for each nation, the gains from trade of each nation, and express the equilibrium condition that should prevail when trade stops expanding.) Ans.: See the figure below.Fig 4.3Fig 4.4Nations 1 and 2 have different production possibilities curves and different community indifference maps. With these, they will usually end up with different relative commodity prices in autarky, thus making mutually beneficial trade possible.In the figure, Nation 1 produces and consumes at point A and Px/Py=P A in autarky, while Nation 2 produces and consumes at point A' and Px/Py=P A'. Since P A < P A', Nation 1 has a comparative advantage in X and Nation 2 in Y. Specialization in production proceeds until point B in Nation 1 and point B' in Nation 2, at which P B =P B' and the quantity supplied for export of each commodity exactly equals the quantity demanded for import.Thus, Nation 1 starts at point A in production and consumption in autarky, moves to point B in production, and by exchanging BC of X for CE of Y reaches point E in consumption. E > A since it involves more of both X and Y and lies on a higher community indifference curve.Nation 2 starts at A' in production and consumption in autarky, moves to point B' in production, and by exchanging B'C' of Y for C'E' of X reaches point E'in consumption (which exceeds A').At Px/Py=P B =P B', Nation 1 wants to export BC of X for CE of Y, while Nation 2 wants to export B'C' (=CE) of Y for C'E' (=BC) of X. Thus, P B =P B' is the equilibrium relative commodity price because it clears both (the X and Y) markets.3. (a) Identify the conditions that may give rise to trade between two nations. (b) What aresome of the assumptions on which the Heckscher-Ohlin theory is based? (c) What does this theory say about the pattern of trade and effect of trade on factor prices?Ans. (a) Trade can be based on a difference in factor endowments, technology, or tastesbetween two nations. A difference either in factor endowments or technology results in a different production possibilities frontier for each nation, which, unlessneutralized by a difference in tastes, leads to a difference in relative commodity price and mutually beneficial trade. If two nations face increasing costs and have identical production possibilities frontiers but different tastes, there will also be a differencein relative commodity prices and the basis for mutually beneficial trade between the two nations. The difference in relative commodity prices is then translated into adifference in absolute commodity prices between the two nations, which is the immediate cause of trade.(b) The Heckscher-Ohlin theory (sometimes referred to as the modern theory – asopposed to the classical theory - of international trade) assumes that nations have the same tastes, use the same technology, face constant returns to scale (i.e., a givenpercentage increase in all inputs increases output by the same percentage) but differ widely in factor endowments. It also says that in the face of identical tastes or demand conditions, this difference in factor endowments will result in a difference in relative factor prices between nations, which in turn leads to a difference in relativecommodity prices and trade. Thus, in the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, the internationaldifference in supply conditions alone determines the pattern of trade. To be noted is that the two nations need not be identical in other respects in order for internationaltrade to be based primarily on the difference in their factor endowments.(c) The Heckscher-Ohlin theorem postulates that each nation will export the commodityintensive in its relatively abundant and cheap factor and import the commodityintensive in its relatively scarce and expensive factor. As an important corollary, itadds that under highly restrictive assumptions, trade will completely eliminate thepretrade relative and absolute differences in the price of homogeneous factors amongnations. Under less restrictive and more usual conditions, however, trade will reduce, but not eliminate, the pretrade differences in relative and absolute factor prices among nations. In any event, the Heckscher-Ohlin theory does say something very useful onhow trade affects factor prices and the distribution of income in each nation. Classical economists were practically silent on this point.4. Suppose that tastes change in Nation 1 (the L-abundant and L-cheap nation) so that consumers demand more of commodity X (the L-intensive commodity) and less of commodity Y (the K- intensive commodity). Suppose that Nation 1 is India, commodity X is textiles, and commodi- ty Y is food. Starting from the no-trade equilibrium position and using the Heckscher-Ohlinmodel, trace the effect of this change in tastes on India's (a) relative commodity prices anddemand for food and textiles, (b) production of both commodities and factor prices, and(c) comparative advantage and volume of trade. (d) Do you expect international trade to leadto the complete equalization of relative commodity and factor prices between India and theUnited States? Why?Ans. (a) The change in tastes can be visualized by a shift toward the textile axis in India'sindifference map in such a way that an indifference curve is tangent to the steepersegment of India's production frontier (because of increasing opportunity costs) after the increase in demand for textiles. This will cause the pretrade relative commodity price of textiles to rise in India.(b) The increase in the relative price of textiles will lead domestic producers in India toshift labor and capital from the production of food to the production of textiles. Since textiles are L-intensive in relation to food, the demand for labor and therefore the wage rate will rise in India. At the same time, as the demand for food falls, thedemand for and thus the price of capital will fall. With labor becoming relative more expensive, producers in India will substitute capital for labor in the production of both textiles and food.(c) Even with the rise in relative wages and in the relative price of textiles, India stillremains the L-abundant and low-wage nation with respect to a nation such as theUnited States. However, the pretrade difference in the relative price of textilesbetween India and the United States is now somewhat smaller than before the change in tastes in India. As a result the volume of trade required to equalize relativecommodity prices and hence factor prices is smaller than before. That is, India need now export a smaller quantity of textiles and import less food than before for therelative price of textiles in India and the United States to be equalized. Similarly, the gap between real wages and between India and the United States is now smaller and can be more quickly and easily closed (i.e., with a smaller volume of trade).(d) Since many of the assumptions required for the complete equalization of relativecommodity and factor prices do not hold in the real world, great differences can be expected and do in fact remain between real wages in India and the United States.Nevertheless, trade would tend to reduce these differences, and the H-O model does identify the forces that must be considered to analyze the effect of trade on thedifferences in the relative and absolute commodity and factor prices between Indiaand the United States.5. (a) Explain why the Heckscher-Ohlin trade model needs to be extended. (b) Indicate in what important ways the Heckscher-Ohlin trade model can be extended. (c) Explain what ismeant by differentiated products and intra-industry trade.Ans. (a) The Heckscher-Ohlin trade model needs to be extended because, while generallycorrect, it fails to explain a significant portion of international trade, particularly the trade in manufactured products among industrial nations.(b) The international trade left unexplained by the basic Heckscher-Ohlin trade model canbe explained by (1) economies of scale, (2) intra-industry trade, and (3) trade based on imitation gaps and product differentiation.(c) Differentiated products refer to similar, but not identical, products (such as cars,typewriters, cigarettes, soaps, and so on) produced by the same industry or broadproduct group. Intra-industry trade refers to the international trade in differentiated products.。

Advertise the Position: Utilize various channels to reach potential candidates. This can include online job boards, maritime schools, social media platforms, and professional networks. Craft a detailed job description highlighting the qualifications and benefits of the position.3. Screening Process: Develop a systematic screening process to filter out unsuitable candidates. This may involve reviewing resumes, conducting initial interviews via phone or video call, and administering relevant assessments or tests to assess language proficiency and technical skills.4. Conduct Interviews: Select candidates who meet the initial criteria for further evaluation through in-person or virtual interviews. Prepare a set of structured questions to assess their competency, experience, andability to work effectively in a team onboard.5. Evaluate Communication Skills: Given the international nature of maritime operations, proficiency in English is crucial for effective communication among crew members. During the interview process, evaluate candidates' English language skills through conversation, comprehension exercises, or written assessments.6. Assess Cultural Fit: Evaluate candidates' cultural fit within the crew and their ability to adapt to thedynamics of a multicultural environment onboard. Consider factors such as flexibility, tolerance, and respect for diversity.7. Verify Credentials: Before making any offers, ensure that candidates possess valid certifications and licenses required for their respective roles. Verify theauthenticity of documents and conduct background checks as necessary.8. Offer Employment: Extend offers to the selected candidates, detailing terms of employment, including salary, benefits, work schedule, and any additional provisions. Provide clear instructions on the next steps for onboarding and joining the crew.9. Provide Training and Orientation: Upon acceptance of the offer, organize comprehensive training and orientation sessions for new crew members. This should cover safety protocols, emergency procedures, job-specific responsibilities, and familiarization with onboard equipment and facilities.10. Continuous Assessment and Development: Establish mechanisms for ongoing performance evaluation and professional development of crew members. Provide feedback, support, and opportunities for further training to enhance their skills and capabilities.By following these steps, you can effectively recruit competent and qualified crew members with strong English language skills to ensure smooth operations and safety at sea.。
