31. F abundance and Price RisingThe long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly giveway to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing (定量供应) is virtually suspended (暂停), and overseas suppliers (供应商) havebeen asked to hold back deliveries. Y et, instead of joy, there is wide-spreaduneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising when there seems tobe so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come tostay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food athome? No one knows what to expect.32. ReaThe recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market hascertainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of twosuccessful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by a third.Most of Britain’s overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this yearand home production has also risen.33. E of Food SituationBut the effect of all this on the food situation in this country hasbeen made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to thegradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are overstocked(存货过多) with food out only because there is more food available, but alsobecause people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.34. Fa of World PricesMoreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when worldpries have begun to fall with the result that imported food, with the exceptionof grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grainprices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not beenabled to benefit form this trend.35. The Res of Farmers FearThe significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. Theolder generation have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price andmarket guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheapfood imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansionto 60 per cent by 1956; but repeated Ministerial (内阁的) advice is carryinglittle weight and the expansion programme is not working very well. 第五部分阅读理解(120分)Passage 1There are striking differences between financial markets on theContinent of Europe on the one hand, and in Britain on the other. In Britain,the market is really the City of London. It is a free market: and it controlsmost of the flow of savings to investment. On the Continent, either a few banksor government institutions dominate the money markets. In France and Italy, forexample, government bureaucrats (官僚) direct the flow of funds to suit theireconomic plans. In Germany the flow is directed by the all-powerful banks. InBritain there is more free interplay (相互作用) of market forces and far fewerregulations, rules and "red tape". A French banker summed it up this way : " Onthe Continent you can’t do anything unless you’ve been old you can; in Englandon the other hand you can do everythin g as long as you haven’t been told notto."There are many basic reasons for these differences. One is thatContinental savers (储蓄者) tend to prefer gold, cash or short-term assets.They invest only 10% of their savings in institutions like pension funds orinsurance companies. But in Britain 50% of savings goes to them, and they, inturn, invest directly in equity (证券) market. A far lower proportion ofsavings is put in the banks in the form of liquid assets than on the Continent.Continent governments intervene directly or through the banks to collectsaving together and transform them into medium or long-term loans forinvestment. The equity market is largely by-passed. On the Continent economicplanning tends to be far more centralized (把……集中起来) than in Britain. In Britain it is possible to influence decisions affecting the country’s economyfrom within the City. It attracts a skilled and highly qualified work force. InFrance, on the other hand, an intelligent young man who wants a career infinance would probably find the civil service more attractive.In Britain the market or more accurately, money tends to be regardedas an end in itself. On the Continent it is regarded as a means to an end;investment in the economy. To British eyes continental systems with thepossible exception of the Dutch seem bureaucratic (官僚主义的), slow andinefficient. But there is one outstanding fact the City should not overlook.Britain’s growth rates and levels investment over the last ten years have beenmuch lower than on the Continent. There are many reasons of this, but the Citymust take part of the blame. If it is accepted that the basic function of afinancial market is to supply industry and commerce with finance in order toachieve desired rates of growth, it can be said that by concentrating on themarket for its own sake the City has tended to forget that basic function.36.

Passage 2Insurance in respect of the property will be effected by the Societyin accordance with the Rules and the mortgage conditions with such insurancecompanies as the Societyinsurance companies and of the terms offered by their policies, and places insurance with many companies who are able to provide the cover which and if soplease contact immediately the Branch Office to which you submitted your application for loan, and so long as that company and its terms are acceptable to the Society cover will be arranged accordingly. If you should suggest a company and it is not one with which the Society does business you will beinformed and offered a choice of other companies. You may request a change of insurance company at any time during the life of the mortgage. If your mortgage is under the endowment ( 损赠 ) scheme or supported by an insurance guarantee orif the documents of title specify the company to be used it may not be possible to accept your choice.The initial sum insured will be the figure shown under theheading "Amount of Property Insurance" in the Details of Loan. This figure is the amount recommended by the Society’s valuer ( 估价者 ), as his estimate of thereplacement cost of the building at the date of valuation, unless some other amount has been agreed in writing between you and the Society. No guarantee isgiven or implied that the amount of insurance will cover complete loss.You are reminded that the market value of your property bears norelationship to the cost of replacement. The amount for which property is insured therefore repr /plj/esent not less than the cost, at the time of repair orreplacement, of rebuilding all the property covered in the same materials, form, style and condition as when it is new. It should also include any architects, surveyors and legal fees which may be payable, and any costs which may be incurred in complying with the requirements of the Local authority and in removing debris ( 碎片 ), etc. The term "property" includes domesticoutbuilding, garages, walls, landlords’ fixtures ( 固定装置 ) and furniture, etc.But excludes the value of the land.The market value of house is therefore likely to be less than thecost of rebuilding, especially if the property is elderly ( 年久的 ). Even if theproperty is recently built, the work involved in reinstatement ( 复原 ) will bemore expensive than the building cost which can be achieved by a builder building on an estate basis.41.
