Engel's Coefficient Engel's Coefficient（恩格爾系數(shù)），是食品支出總額占個(gè)人消費(fèi)支出總額的比重。 一個(gè)家庭收入越少，家庭收入中用來購買食物的支出所占的比例就越大，隨著家庭收入的增加，家庭收入中用來購買食物的支出比例則會下降。推而廣之，一個(gè)國家越窮，每個(gè)國民的平均收入中用于購買食物的支出所占比例就越大，隨著國家的富裕，這個(gè)比例呈下降趨勢。 我們來看2個(gè)例句： The Engel's Coefficient shows people's living standard in a country.? 恩格斯系數(shù)展示一個(gè)國家的人民生活水平。 Engel's coefficient has been regarded as the important basis for the criterion in determining the poor and the rich by the United Nations.? 恩格爾系數(shù)一直作為聯(lián)合國劃分貧富標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的重要依據(jù)。 20節(jié)BEC初級、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級中級高級課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證

FER 國際貿(mào)易中需要結(jié)算，所以我們需要有外國的貨幣，這就是FER（Foreign Exchange Reserve，外匯儲備）。 貿(mào)易順差和資本流入集中到本國央中需要結(jié)算，所以我們需要有外國的貨幣，這就是FER（Foreign Exchange Reserve，外匯儲備）。 貿(mào)易順差和資本流入集中行內(nèi)就形成外匯儲備。FER主要用于清償國際收支逆差，以及當(dāng)本國貨幣被大量拋售時(shí)，利用外匯儲備買入本國貨幣干預(yù)外匯市場，以維持該國貨幣的匯率。 我們來看2個(gè)例句： The continuous increase of the foreign exchange reserve has guaranteed RMB to be in the further consolidated position. 外匯儲備的不斷增加確保了人民幣地位的進(jìn)一步鞏固。 On your second question, China never intends to seek for a trade surplus nor the increase of foreign exchange reserve. 關(guān)于第二個(gè)問題，中方從來不刻意追求貿(mào)易順差，也不刻意追求外匯儲備的增長。 20節(jié)BEC初級、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級中級高級課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證~ ?

理了2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：泰國大象的生存危機(jī)，一起來看看吧。 2024年12月英語四級閱讀理解模擬：泰國大象的生存危機(jī) For centuries, in the countries of south and Southeast Asia the elephant has been an intimate part of the culture, economy and religion, and nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated (馴化). The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the authority of kingship to its rulers and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background.To the early Western visitors the country's romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”. Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less abandoned by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a westernized society. And while the elephant's problems began many years ago, now it rates a very low national priority. How this reversal from national icon (圣像) to neglected animal came about is a tale of worsening environmental and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailand’s experts on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the century there may well have beenas many as 100,000 domestic elephants in the country. In the north of Thailand alone it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 per cent of Thailand was still forest—a habitat (棲息地) that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through dense forest better than a massive but sure-footed elephant. By 1950 the elephant population had dropped to a still substantial 13,397, but today there are probably nomore than 3,800, with another 1,350 roaming free in the national parks. But now, Thailand’s forest coversonly 20 per cent of the land. This deforestation (采伐森林) is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, so the elephant's role as a beast of burden declined. 練習(xí)題： Choose correct answers to the question: 1. What can we know about African elephants from the passage? A. It is easy to tame them. B. It is hard to tame them. C. They are living a better life than Asian elephants. D. Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants. 2. Thailand was once called “Land of the White Elephant” because_______. A. white elephant is rarely seen and thus very special B. white elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s C. white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authority D. this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors 3. Why is the Thai elephant “out of work”, according to the author? A. Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners. B. Because their owners are westernized and neglect them. C. Because the government pays little attention to the problem. D. Because there are too many elephants and too few jobs. 4. Which of the following statements is true about the elephant population at various times? A. There were 100,000 tamed elephants at the turn of the century. B. 20,000 elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the century. C. By 1950 the elephant population in Thailand has been quite small. D. Today the elephant population is estimated at 5,150. 5. The passage is most probably from_______. A. a travel magazine B. a history book C. a research report D. an official announcement 參考答案： 1.[B] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查對比處。根據(jù)文章第l段第3句：和非洲象不同，亞洲象容易馴養(yǎng)，言下之意就是：非洲象不易馴養(yǎng)。答案中用tame替代原文的domesticate，意思相同。選項(xiàng)A與原文意思正好相反;選項(xiàng)C，D原文根本未提到。 2.[B] 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第l段第4句中的“until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background.”可知當(dāng)時(shí)白

Credit-rating Agencies 由于債券可能會違約，所以債券投資者需要了解公司是否會發(fā)生債券違約。 Credit-rating Agencies（信用評級機(jī)構(gòu)）可以提供這樣的信息。最好的債券評級是AAA，違約風(fēng)險(xiǎn)較小的債券稱為投資級債券，評級為Baa以上；低于Baa的是投機(jī)級債券，或是Junk bond（垃圾債券）。 我們來看2個(gè)例句： Its budget deficit is so big，which has led to warnings from the credit-rating agencies in spite of the dollar's reserve currency status.? 盡管美元的儲備貨幣有如此地位，但預(yù)算赤字是如此之大已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致來自信用評級公司的警告。 Two of the three main credit-rating agencies, Fitch and Standard &Poor’s, cut their rating on Greek bonds and gave warning that a further downgrade was likely.? 三個(gè)主要評級機(jī)構(gòu)中的兩個(gè)--惠譽(yù)與標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾--降低了其對希國債的評級，并警告可能進(jìn)一步降低評級。 20節(jié)BEC初級、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級中級高級課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證~

Gini Index Gini Index（基尼系數(shù)）是國際上通用的衡量一個(gè)國家或地區(qū)居民收入差距的常用指標(biāo)。 基尼系數(shù)最大為“1”，最小等于“0”?；嵯禂?shù)越接近0表明收入分配越是趨向平等。 國際慣例把0.2以下視為收入絕對平均， 0.2-0.3視為收入比較平均； 0.3-0.4視為收入相對合理； 0.4-0.5視為收入差距較大， 當(dāng)基尼系數(shù)達(dá)到0.5以上時(shí)，則表示收入懸殊。 我們來看2個(gè)例句： He said 40 percent on the Gini index is already too risky and China's Gini index is close to 50 percent. 他說，基尼指數(shù)40%就已經(jīng)相當(dāng)危險(xiǎn)了，而中國的基尼指數(shù)將近是50%。 Because of high GDP per capita, welfare benefits, a low Gini index, and political stability, the Danish enjoys high living standards topped by no other nation.? 由于其高人均GDP，良好的福利，較低的基尼系數(shù)和穩(wěn)定的政治，丹麥?zhǔn)鞘澜缟仙钏阶罡叩膰摇?20節(jié)BEC初級、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級中級高級課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證

PPP 如果對不同國家的GDP進(jìn)行比較呢，一個(gè)方法就是PPP（Purchasing Power Parity，購買力平價(jià)）。 購買力平價(jià)是根據(jù)各國不同的價(jià)格水平計(jì)算出來的貨幣之間的等值系數(shù)，如果一個(gè)巨無霸在美國的價(jià)格是4美元，而在英國是3英鎊，那么美元與英鎊的購買力平價(jià)匯率就是3英鎊=4美元。 我們來看2個(gè)例句： PPP measures show where currencies should end up in the long run. 購買力平價(jià)方法顯示出貨幣從長遠(yuǎn)來看的價(jià)格。 For this reason, PPP is a more reliable comparison for the currencies of economies with similar levels of income. 由于這樣的原因，購買力平價(jià)方法在比較有相近收入水平的經(jīng)濟(jì)體時(shí)更為可靠。 20節(jié)BEC初級、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級中級高級課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證~

Unemployment Rate 社會人最關(guān)注的的經(jīng)濟(jì)指標(biāo)大概就是Unemployment Rate（失業(yè)率）了。 Unemployment Rat可以用來判斷一定時(shí)期內(nèi)全部勞動(dòng)人口的就業(yè)情況。它可以適當(dāng)反應(yīng)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，比如這幾年大環(huán)境不景氣，考公大考研的人數(shù)明顯增多，2020年考研人數(shù)怒增50萬就是很明顯的例子。 我們來看2個(gè)例句： He said the unemployment rate remains "unacceptably high" and that faster growth is needed to replace jobs lost in the economic downturn. 他說，失業(yè)率之高依然“不可接受”，需要加快增長速度已彌補(bǔ)在經(jīng)濟(jì)下滑期間失去的工作崗位。 The U.

Shadow Banks 我們一般的銀行都是處于嚴(yán)格監(jiān)管之下的，但有一些公司不是銀行、不受監(jiān)管但卻擁有銀行的功效，這類的機(jī)構(gòu)就被稱為 Shadow Banks（影子銀行）。 Shadow banks主要有投資銀行、對沖基金、債券、保險(xiǎn)公司等構(gòu)成，它們讓一些原本資質(zhì)不足以在銀行獲得資金的公司獲得了資金，所以它們的利率也會非常高。 我們來看2個(gè)例句： Much of the credit extended by banks and shadow banks to keep growth going will sour. 大量由銀行及影子銀行發(fā)放的以保增長為目的的信貸將會變成壞賬。 Crucially, the council would be able to monitor both traditional banks and shadow banks. 最關(guān)鍵的是，該委員會將能夠同時(shí)監(jiān)控傳統(tǒng)銀行和影子銀行。 20節(jié)BEC初級、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項(xiàng)課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個(gè)級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個(gè)月后考試是否能順利通過 一聽即知！ 0元試學(xué)BEC初級中級高級課程 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>> 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)試學(xué)>>> 祝大家順利拿證
