12、That is especially true in places like Newcastle, a former shipbuilding city, which lost out to competition from Asia in the 1970s and has seen living standards stagnate ever since. The U.S. economy, we are told, is booming. In the past two quarters, gross domestic product has risen by more than 3%,

13、 the stock market is soaring and unemployment is down to a 17-year low of 4.1%. Many people, though, dont feel that upside.The perception gap is huge.

14、ing in parttime jobs when they want a full-time job. One of the prime faults of GDP is that it deals in averages and aggregates. Aggregates hide the nuances of inequality.

15、since the 1950s. Yet according to a Pew Research Center report, the average hourly wage for nonmanagement private-sector work was $20.67 in 2014, a measly $1.49 higher than in 1964, adjusted for inflation.Studies suggest that people care more about relative than absolute wealth.

17、onkey receiving cucumbers became distraught, flinging its now despised reward at its trainer.The problems with using GDP as a barometer go beyond masking inequality. Invented in the U.S. in the 1930s, the figure is a child of the manufacturing age- good at measuringphysical production but not the se

18、rvices that dominate modern economies.

He did not like the fact that it counted armaments

19、and financial speculation as positive outputs. Above all, he said, GDP should never be confused with well-being. That suggests we need to find different ways of measuring our success.

20、樣，官方統(tǒng)計數(shù)據所講述的故事并不總是符合人們的經驗。這在紐卡斯爾這樣的地方尤其如此，紐卡斯爾曾是一座造船城市，在 20世紀70年代輸給了亞洲的競爭，從此生活水平停滯不前。據說，美國經濟正在蓬勃發(fā)展。在過去的兩個季度里，國內生產總值增長了3%Z上，股市飆升，失業(yè)率降至17年來的4.1%的最低水平。不過，很多人并沒有這種感覺，這種感覺差距是巨大的。更廣泛地衡量失業(yè)率，比標題數(shù)字所顯示的要高，因為許多人 只是放棄了找工作，或者在想找全職工作的時候做兼職。國內生產總值的一個 主要缺點是它處理的是平均數(shù)和總量。聚合隱藏了不平等的細微差別。平均值 并不能告訴我們很多。除了幾次經濟衰退外，美國經濟自20世紀

21、50年代以來一直在近乎無情地向上 攀升。然而，根據皮尤研究中心的一份報告， 2014年非管理私營部門工作的平 均小時工資為20.67美元，比1964年略高1.49美元，并根據通貨膨脹進行了 調整。研究表示，人們更關心是相對財富而非絕對財富。若情況屬實，一少部分人將 變得更加富有，而大多數(shù)人則會變得越來越窮。埃默里大學（ Emory University ）做過一項有名的實驗，他們將兩只猴子并排放置，每完成一項任 務就將獲得一根黃瓜作為獎勵。當其中一只猴子的獎勵變成了更好吃的葡萄 后，另外那只得到黃瓜的猴子就變得煩躁不安，并把現(xiàn)在已經不再看重的獎勵 扔向訓練員。國內生產總值（GDP指標實際上掩蓋

22、了不平等問題。國內生產總 值（GDP這個概念誕生于20世紀30年代的美國，是制造業(yè)時代的產物，適合 衡量物質生產，但不擅長衡量主導現(xiàn)代經濟的服務業(yè)。國內生產總值（ GDP能 衡量心理健康保健的質量，或者你所在社區(qū)的日托中心和公園的使用率嗎？即 便真正發(fā)明國內生產總值（GDP概念的白俄羅斯經濟學家也不喜歡這個指標將 軍備和金融投機量化為實際產出值的事實。總之，他表示，決不能將國內生產 總值（GDP與民生混為一談。這表明，我們需要采用各種方式來衡量經濟成 功。大多數(shù)情況下，我們只對僅能提供有限信息的單一指標情有獨鐘。漢譯英 3.Passage 1互聯(lián)網是一個社會信息大平臺，億萬網民在上面獲得信息、

23、交流信息，這會對 他們的求知途徑、思維方式、價值觀念產生重要影響，特別是會對他們、對國 家、對社會、對工作、對人生的看法產生重要影響。網民來自老百姓，老百姓 上了網，民意也就上了網。各級黨政機關和領導干部要學會通過網絡與公眾保 持聯(lián)系，經常上網，看看，聊聊天、發(fā)發(fā)聲，了解群眾所思所愿，收集好想法 好建議，積極回應網民關切、解疑釋惑。網民大多數(shù)是普通群眾，來自各行各業(yè)，各自經歷不同，觀點和想法肯定是五 花八門的，不能要求他們對所有問題都看得那么準、說得那么對。要多一些包 容和耐心，對建設性意見要及時吸納，對困難的人要及時幫助，對不了解情況 的要及時宣介，對模糊認識要及時廓清，對怨氣怨言要及時化解

24、，對錯誤看法 要及時引導和糾正。SSS_TEXT_QUSTI分值：25 答案：As a broad social platform through which millions upon millions of users obtain and exchange information, the internet has a profound influence on the way people acquire knowledge, on the way they think, and also on their values and views.

29、各國的實力較量涉及諸多因素，其中最重要的一個要素是市場規(guī) 模。哪個國家的市場大，對其他國家的吸引力就越大，也越容易處于領先地 位。中國有14億人口，這就決定了它擁有世界上最大的消費市場。經濟學家都 認為，過去這些年，中國市場發(fā)展的速度是世界上最快的。連續(xù)九年，中國是世界上最大的汽車市場。2016年，美國銷售了 1,700萬輛汽車，同年中國則銷售了 2400萬輛。其中在中國的美國合資公司銷售的汽車占比 很大。中國還是世界上最大的智能手機市場，也是最大的服裝、電商、國內旅 游和農產品市場。中國市場展現(xiàn)了驚人的發(fā)展?jié)摿ΑＴ谥袊?，中產和富裕階層1人士迅速增長，年輕人有了全新的消費習慣，線上線下銷售渠道覆蓋了全國各 地。隨著醫(yī)療、養(yǎng)老產業(yè)不斷發(fā)展，還將進一步提升中國人的消費能力。SSS_TEXT_QUSI分值：25 答案：Nowadays the strength of countries in the world involves many factors, with market size being the most important one.
