It touched a session high of $42.45 a barrel and a session low of $41.02. Concerns about oversupply helped push oil lower Tuesday. Oil tumbled $4.15 to $41.58 a barrel. The oil market was likely bouncing off a stock market rebound and a weaker U.S. dollar Wednesday. U.S. crude oil price has rebounded from below $33 a barrel over the past week as an economic stimulus package makes it way through Congress. The Energy Information Administration releases its weekly inventory data at 10∶30 a.m. Analysts surveyed by Platts expect an increase of 3.4 million barrels in U.S. crude stockpiles for the week ended Jan. 23.Oil’s supply-demand picture remains weak, with a large stock build in the United States and extremely weak demand in China, the world’s second-largest energy consumer. Oil supplies in the U.S. have gone up significantly in the past several weeks. Last week, the Energy Department reported supplies of crude increased by 6.1 million barrels in the week ended Jan. 16, when analysts had been expecting an increase of only 1.9 million barrels. Crude prices have dropped more than $100 from a record peak above $147 a barrel in July last year, sunk by plummeting demand amid the recession.Demand is dependent on the ongoing economic uncertainty and whether the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which produces about 40% of the world’s oil, will meet its pledge to cut output by 2.2 million barrels a day this month.36. Why is the oil’s supply-demand picture still weak?37. What helped to prevent the price of oil increase on Tuesday?38. What has been the highest oil price in the United States last year?Passage 2American hopes that pressure from the U. S. will force Japan to suddenly dismantle its trade barriers are almost certain to evaporate in disappointment.The fact is that Washington faces an obstacle far more formidable than a few power brokers in To kyo’s government offices. It must buck centuries-old, deeply ingrained Japanese customs. To move the Japanese government, Washington must move an entire nation.So far, the U.S. has had only limited success despite congressional threats to retaliate. In an April 9 nationwide broadcast, Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone urged the Japanese to buy more imported goods and unveiled a long-awaited three-year plan to ease import restrictions. But this program was far short of what Washington hoped to see. White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan said the Japanese offered “few new or immediate measures.” While the plan did promise fewer curbs on imports of telecommunications gear, medicine and medical equipment, it offered no relief for American forest products—which are among the most contentious trade issues.Nakasone gives every sign of being secure in his desire to reduce a Japanese surplus in trade with the U.S. that hit 36.8 billion dollars in 1984 and could soon top 50 billion. Yet to rely on any one Japanese political leader, no matter how popular he is at home, to reverse trade policies is to underestimate the culture and traditions that weigh heavily against a breakthrough.Big business and dozens of anonymous bureaucrats have as much power as Japan’s top elected leaders.“The whole concept that we can turn this around right now is patently ridiculous,” says an American trader who has lived and worked here since 1952. “The vested interests are being shaken and slowly moved, but at a pace too slow for the eye to follow.”39. What of the Japanese government is meant to be “moved”?240. Does the underlined word “top” in the fourth paragraph mean “increase by as much as” 50 billion?41. Please paraphrase “a pace too slow for the eye to follow” in the last paragraph.五、Read the following passages and decide whether the statements are true or false（每小题2分，共20分）Passage 1The global economy is set for a year of recession and then low growth until 2012, economists at the World Economic Forum inDavos have saiD. They also warned that the downturn could persuade politicians to introduce trade barriers and steer investments only into their own economies. This would harm developing countries mostly. Meanwhile, there are growing calls for better financial sec tor regulation. Speaking at a panel taking stock of the state of the economy, Stephen Roach, Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia and long-time prophet of the economic downturn, said one could not “overestimate the dangers the world economy faces in 2009”.The global economy was likely to shrink this year for the first time since World War II, he said, and nobody on the panel or in the audience was prepared to contradict him. The general gloom was echoed by the IMF, which has predicted that world economic growth will fall to just 0.5% this year, its lowest rate for 60 years. Justin Yifu Lin, senior vice president at the World Bank, said there were “lots of downside risks; the current projection is a protracted recession and we have not reached the bottom yet”.Demand from U.S. consumers, for many years the main driver of global growth, was in steep decline, and while on the supply-side China had seen its economy shrink during the last quarter of 2008. Indeed, wherever one goes in the congress centre in Davos, pessimism pervades all conversation—although one participant counseled that “irrational exuberance has been replaced by irrational despair”.The biggest concern of all panelists, however, was the risk that the downturn could herald a return to protectionism. T his being Davos, the majority of participants are proponents of free trade, but it was striking that the representatives from developing and emerging economies were particularly worried about rising trade barriers. Panelists warned not just about the threat to free trade, but also the danger that Western governments could steer their nationalized or recapitalized banks towards investing only at home.However, government spending alone was not enough to solve the problem.Monetary policy and a coordinated global regulatory framework were keys to getting the global economy back on track.42. It is probably that the economic recession could result in trade protectionism and barriers among different countries.（）43. Panelists and audience in the Worl d Economic Forum in Davos don’t agree that the year 2009 shrinks for the first time since World War II.（）44. According to Justin Yifu Lin, senior vice president at the World Bank, the economic recession has reached the bottom.（）45. The demand from U.S. consumers has been the engine for the global growth for a long time.（）46. Though it is a hard time, the participants in World Economic Forum in Davos are optimistic.（）47. Most participants in World Economic Forum in Davos support free trade.（）Passage 2The job of the drug industry is to provide relief from ailments, and it usually does so with its medicines. The news on Monday January 26th that Pfizer, the world’s biggest drugmaker, is bidding for Wyeth, a large American rival, should p rovide a welcome tonic for some. The legion of lawyers and bankers who specialize in mergers and acquisitions, for example, may at last have something to do. Pfizer is offering $68 billion for its rival, belying the current economic gloom. The financial crisis and recession have put a brake on most deals, other than mergers between crumbling banks, as credit has dried up and confidence has shriveled.The giant American drug company will finance the deal with a mixture of its shares, which have held up reasonably well asmarkets have dived, cash from reserves and bank loans. Pharmaceutical companies are in a happier position than firms in other3industries. They are known for large and reliable cash flows, even when economic misery is growing. Otherwise nervous bankers should not be too fearful of extending credit to Pfizer.And yet, as the recession takes hold in America, which is by far the most important market for drug giants, growth appears to be slowing. Even drug sales may be hit in a recession if financially squeezed patients who lack insurance, or with less comprehensive health plans, cut back on their medicines. Pfizer is not insulated from the economic chill: it says that it will lay off 10% of its workers, several thousand people, and close five of its 46 factories around the world, in an effort to cut costs by $2 billion by 2011.Nonetheles s, taking over Wyeth would cement Pfizer’s position as the world’s leading drugmaker. Pfizer’s revenues in 2008 were just over $48 billion. These would be boosted to over $71 billion in a combination with Wyeth. Pfizer clearly reckons that greater scale is an answer not only to the slower growth in the industry but also to the particular problems that it faces. “Big pharma” has long felt the competitive breath of generic drug companies. In the next couple of years the threat will intensify as billions of dollars worth of branded drugs are set to lose patent protection.48. The news that Pfizer is bidding for Wyeth is not welcomed by lawyers and bankers who specialize in mergers and acquisitions. （）49. Pfizer will finance the buying of Wyeth with cash borrowed from the banks.（）50. Pfizer is able to buy Wyeth because it was not affected by the financial recession.（）51. After the merger, Pfizer will become the largest drug maker in the world.（）六、Translate the following passage into Chinese（本大题12分）52.Women make better business leaders than men in all but two areas of management, according to an Australian survey released on Monday. But men have the upper hand when it comes to focusing on the bottom line. Data collected from 1,800 Australian female and male chief executive officers and managers found women exhibit more strategic drive, risk taking, people skills and innovation, and equaled men in the area of emotional stability. But men came out on top when it came to command and control of management operations and focusing on financial returns. The survey found women were more likely to take a chance with their ideas and challenge the status quo.全国2011年4月自考外刊经贸知识选读试题一、单项选择题（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）在每小题列出的四个备选项中只有一个可以替代句中划线的单词或词组，请将其代码填写在题后的括号内。

《英文报刊选读》课程改革探讨作者：周玉亮来源：《考试周刊》2013年第11期摘要：本文旨在从英文报刊选读课的教学现状入手，深入剖析当前教学过程中的问题，在此基础上，探索该门课的教学改革措施，努力提升该门课的课程价值。

关键词：《英文报刊选读》教学现状课程改革一、引言《英文报刊选读》是在完成相应的英语基础课程之后开设的一门专业技能类选修课程，该课程理论与实践并重，目的在于培养高校英语专业学生的英文报刊阅读理解能力，提高精读、略读和查读等阅读技能。

阅读英文报刊可以帮助学生扩大词汇量，吸收西方语言文化知识和文化背景知识；《英文报刊选读》着重于将语言技能训练与对学生的思维能力、创新能力的培养有效地结合在一起，以求把原有的语言基本功转化为真正的工具，是学生掌握现代英语和提高外刊阅读能力的有效途径。

二、《英文报刊选读》教学现状作为英语专业的传统经典课程，《英文报刊选读》在提高学生英语水平方面一直发挥着重要作用。

然而，从教学现状来看，该门课在实际教学中仍存有诸多问题，导致实际教学效果与预设的教学目标相差甚远，从而在一定程度上弱化了该门课在英语学习中的重要性。

1.教材陈旧，缺乏时效性。

目前，《英文报刊选读》所使用的教材中的选文时间跨度大，往往导致教学内容缺乏时效性。

报刊类英语最能充分体现语言的活力与时代感，任何报刊文章都无法在发表数年后仍具有新闻价值，因此，即便是最新版的报刊选读教材，书中的新闻也已变成旧闻，失去了时效性这一重要的新闻价值。

而对于缺乏时效性的文章，很难在现实教学中激发学生的阅读兴趣和调动积极性，这是当前教学中不得不面对的一个问题。

2.教师教法简单，缺乏系统性。

虽然老师在教学过程中占据主导地位，但是被动地、过分依赖于教材的教学方法与英文报刊上文章内容的五花八门、语体的丰富多样和用词的新颖灵活显得极不协调。

有的教师使用的传统教学模式的单词讲解、课文翻译和练习解析不能有效解决学生阅读与兴趣之间的矛盾；有的教师会在教学过程中，借助互联网等现代信息渠道，收集时代感较强或是学生感兴趣的英文报刊文章进行阅读训练。

旺旺英语Lesson 14Soft Commodities非耐用商品Many prices are at historic lows, and the IMF expects further falls. Yet there are signs that the worse may be over. One key commodity, sugar, has recovered.许多商品的价格处于历史最低点，虽然国际货币基金组织预计价格还会进一步下跌。

但是，有迹象表明，最糟的局面已经结束了。

因为“糖”这种关键性商品的价格已经回升了。

Markets Have Lost Their Allure 市场已失去吸引力For Most people involved in the production and trading of “soft” or agricultural commodities, this is proving to be a grim decade.对于大多数生产并买卖非耐用商品或农业品的人来说，这十年无疑是阴暗的十年。

Prices are in many cases at, or near, historic lows in real terms as markets struggle to cope with floods of surplus produce. And—with most soothsayers forecasting flat, or still lower, prices—the markets themselves have lost much of their allure.许多情况下，产品的价格都在实际意义上处于或接近历史最低价，这是因为市场要应付泛滥成灾的过剩的农产品。

同时，大多数预言家预测价格将会持平，或者更低。

市场自身已经失去了很多的魅力。

Speculators who profited handsomely from the price volatility of the 1970s have deserted soft commodities for the newer excitement of financial futures or the security and big yields afforded by the equity and money markets.从20世纪70年代的价格不稳中大笔获益的投机者们已经放弃了非耐用商品而寻求金融期货或有价证券带来的新的刺激以及股票和货币市场提供的巨额利润。
