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，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、各級別專項課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個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.

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A與原文意思正好相反;選項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)時白

Gini Index Gini Index（基尼系數(shù)）是國際上通用的衡量一個國家或地區(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，則表示收入懸殊。 我們來看2個例句： 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、各級別專項課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個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，一個方法就是PPP（Purchasing Power Parity，購買力平價）。 購買力平價是根據(jù)各國不同的價格水平計算出來的貨幣之間的等值系數(shù)，如果一個巨無霸在美國的價格是4美元，而在英國是3英鎊，那么美元與英鎊的購買力平價匯率就是3英鎊=4美元。 我們來看2個例句： PPP measures show where currencies should end up in the long run. 購買力平價方法顯示出貨幣從長遠(yuǎn)來看的價格。 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，購買力平價方法在比較有相近收入水平的經(jīng)濟(jì)體時更為可靠。 20節(jié)BEC初級、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個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~

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.? 三個主要評級機(jī)構(gòu)中的兩個--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、各級別專項課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個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~

RPI RPI（Retail Price Index，商品零售價格指數(shù)）是指反映一定時期內(nèi)商品零售價格變動趨勢和變動程度的相對數(shù)。 零售物價指數(shù)是編制財政計劃、價格計劃、制定物價政策、工資政策的重要依據(jù)。 目前我國商品零售價格指數(shù)采用加權(quán)算術(shù)平均公式計算，調(diào)查范圍涉及食品、飲料煙酒、服裝鞋帽、紡織品、家用電器及音像器材、文化辦公用品、日用品、體育娛樂用品、交通通信用品、家具、化妝品、金銀珠寶、中西藥品及醫(yī)療保健用品、書報雜志及電子出版物、燃料、建筑材料及五金電料等16大類商品。 我們來看2個例句： Interest on student loans is pegged to inflation, as measured by the RPI, in order to maintain the real value of the debt over its term.? 學(xué)生貸款利率與通貨膨脹率掛鉤，這由零售物價指數(shù)來衡量，以保持在借貸期內(nèi)債務(wù)的實際價值不變。 The state pension, also linked to the RPI, must go up by at least 2.5%, following a promise made by ministers a few years ago when inflation fell and pensioners got shirty. 幾年以前當(dāng)通貨膨脹下降并且退休人員憤怒的時候，部長們做出一項承諾，之后，與零售物價指數(shù)掛鉤的國家養(yǎng)老金至少上漲了2.5％。 20節(jié)BEC初級、中級、高級課程 學(xué)前測試、詞匯課、各級別專項課 還有考前沖刺 點(diǎn)擊立即免費(fèi)聽>> 你適合考哪個級別？BEC好不好學(xué) 2個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
