Passage Two
Many economists say U.S. growth will accelerate abit soon, which will likely make it easier for othernations to sell their products in the world's biggesteconomy. (13) Surging energy production is cuttingcosts and spurring U.S. economic growth, but risinginterest rates are acting as brakes on expansion. Some shops are busier, because the UnitedStates and other wealthy nations are shaking off the recession and making more economiccontribution.
Key sectors of the U.S. economy, like housing, are strongly influenced by interest rates. Lowerrates make it easier for families to borrow the money to buy homes and businesses to get theequipment they need to expand. (14) With that in mind, the U.S. central bank has beenendeavoring to stimulate the economy by cutting interest rates. Part of that effort involvesbuying tens of billions of dollars of securities each month, a program that is being reduced or"tapered." If the stimulus continues for too long, it might spark inflation, which could hurt theeconomy.
A surge in U.S. energy production will help overcome the impact of rising interest rates. Oilindustry experts say growing use of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" has sharply increased U.S.production of oil and natural gas. The wider use of fracking is boosting U.S. oil production,cutting the cost of crude oil imports, and leaving people with more money to consume. (15)Critics say burning more fossil fuels may increase climate change and voice concerns about theimpact of fracking on the environment and public health.
Industry spokesmen say the practice is safe, but opponents say some gas wells that usefracking technology have polluted nearby water wells, and they urge more scientific study.
13. According to the passage, what is stimulating the U.S. economy?
14. What are the measures taken by the U.S. central bank to boost the economy?
15. What do critics say about fracking?
文章二
很多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)將小幅加速，這很可能使其他國(guó)家對(duì)這一世界第一經(jīng)濟(jì)大國(guó)的商品出口更加容易。能源生產(chǎn)的增加在降低了成本的同時(shí)促進(jìn)了經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng)，但是上漲的利息率卻起著反作用。隨著美國(guó)以及一些其他富裕國(guó)家擺脫經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條，開始經(jīng)濟(jì)扶持，一些企業(yè)業(yè)務(wù)變得繁忙起來。
美國(guó)關(guān)鍵經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域，比如房地產(chǎn)，極大地受到利率的影響。低利率令家庭更容易借到錢買房、企業(yè)更容易購(gòu)置其擴(kuò)張所需的設(shè)備。鑒于此，美國(guó)中央銀行努力通過降低利率來刺激經(jīng)濟(jì)。其中一項(xiàng)措施就是每月購(gòu)買數(shù)百億美元的有價(jià)證券，這一舉措力度正被逐漸削減，如果刺激政策持續(xù)時(shí)間過長(zhǎng)，可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致通脹，這將對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)不利。
美國(guó)能源產(chǎn)量的增加將緩沖上升利率的影響。石油產(chǎn)業(yè)專家表示隨著液壓破裂法更加普遍的應(yīng)用，美國(guó)石油和天然氣的產(chǎn)量大幅增加。液壓破裂法更廣泛的應(yīng)用增加了美國(guó)的石油產(chǎn)量，降低了原油進(jìn)口成本，讓人們有了更多的錢可以花在其他消費(fèi)品上。然而，批判人士稱燃燒化石燃料將加劇氣候變化。同時(shí)他們還擔(dān)心液壓破裂法的使用會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)境和大眾健康產(chǎn)生影響。
能源行業(yè)發(fā)言人表示這一方法是安全的;但是反對(duì)者稱一些使用液壓破裂法技術(shù)的氣井污染了附近的水井，并呼吁進(jìn)一步科學(xué)研究。
問題13 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，什么刺激著美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)?
問題14 美國(guó)中央銀行為了刺激經(jīng)濟(jì)采取了什么措施?
問題15 批判人士對(duì)液壓破裂法的看法是什么?
參考答案：
【小題13】B
【小題14】C
【小題15】B
習(xí)題解析：
【小題13】短文中提到，上漲的能源生產(chǎn)在降低了成本的同時(shí)促進(jìn)了經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng)，但是上漲的利息率卻起著反作用，故選 B。
【小題14】短文中提到，美國(guó)中央銀行努力通過降低利率來刺激經(jīng)濟(jì)，其中包括每月購(gòu)買數(shù)百億美元的有價(jià)證券，故選 C。
【小題15】短文最后提到評(píng)論家們說燃燒化石燃料可能會(huì)加劇氣候變化，同時(shí)有些評(píng)論家擔(dān)心液壓破裂法的使用會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)境和大眾健康產(chǎn)生影響。要注意本題問的是 critic 的觀點(diǎn)，而不是 industry spokesmen 的觀點(diǎn)，故選 B。
