China reins in economic expansion China's growth in

fixed-asset investment and its money supply slowed considerably in August， providing firm evidence that the government's tightening measures were reining in the

country's rapid economic expansion.

Urban fixed-asset investment in August rose 21.5 per cent compared with a year ago， a marked slowdown from the 30.5 per cent expansion from January through July and the slowest for a single month since December 2004. M2， the broad indicator for money supply， rose 17.9 per cent last month compared with 18.4 per cent in July and June.

China's economy has been growing at a record pace，expanding by 11.3 per cent in the second quarter. Beijing officials and many economists are concerned that such growth rates are not sustainable in the longer term.

The latest economic data， which were released by Qiu Xiaohua， commissioner of China's National Bureau of Statistics， suggest Beijing has been able to control excessive lending and investment to sectors such as real estate that are especially at risk of overheating.

Beijing is using a combination of monetary and administrative controls in its attempts to moderate growth. Since late April， China's central bank has twice raised benchmark lending rates and bank reserve requirements. Yesterday it also mopped up a record Rmb225bn （$28.3bn） in its regular open market operations.

Su Ning， the deputy central bank governor， said this week at an international conference in Beijing that the

country's money supply was slowing dramatically as a result

of these measures.

At the same time， China's leaders are trying to control unnecessary production - for instance by limiting land rights and enforcing environmental standards in key industries such

as steel， cement and automobiles.

Beijing is also worried about overlending to urban

property projects， including residences， offices and industrial parks， and the threat it could lead to

artificially high prices and excess supply.

While trying to temper credit and investment growth，Beijing is also attempting to stimulate consumer spending，since it believes a strong middle class will be a key driver

of future growth.

China's statistics body said August retail sales were up 13.8 per cent， a rate consistent with that of the previous

two months. Demand for oil products， jewellery， automobiles and building has been particularly strong.

一、参考译文：

8月份中国固定资产投资及货币供应量增长速度明显放缓，这有力地证明，政府的紧缩举措，正在抑制中国经济的迅速扩张。

8月份，中国城市固定资产投资较上年同期增长21.5%，与1至7

月份期间30.5%的扩张速度相比，有明显放缓；同时也是自2004年12

月以来，单月增幅最低的一个月。广义货币供应量M2上月增长17.9%，而7月份和6月份的增幅均为18.4%.

中国经济一直在以创纪录的速度增长，第二季度的增幅为11.3%.中国政府官员和很多经济学家担心，长远来说，这样的增长速度难以维持。

中国国家统计局（National Bureau of Statistics）局长邱晓华发布的最新经济数据显示，中国政府能够控制对房地产等行业的过渡放贷和投资，这些行业尤其存有过热风险。

中国政府正通过货币和行政调控手段相结合的方式，努力缓和经济增长。自4月底以来，中国央行已两度上调基准贷款利率和银行存款准备金比率。昨日，央行还在其例行的公开市场操作中，创纪录地完成2250亿元人民币（合283亿美元）的资金回笼工作。

本周，中国央行副行长苏宁在北京举行的一个国际会议上表示，因为上述措施，中国的货币供应“明显”放缓。

与此同时，中国领导人正试图控制非必要的生产——例如，在钢铁、水泥和汽车等关键行业，限制土地使用权并强制执行各种环保标准。

中国政府还对城市地产项目（包括住宅、写字楼和工业园区）上的过度放贷，以及可能由此导致的人为高价和供应过度感到担忧。

在努力遏制信贷和投资增长的同时，中国政府还试图刺激消费支出，因为它认为，一个强大的中产阶层，将成为未来经济增长的关键驱动力。

中国国家统计局表示，8月份，社会消费品零售总额较上年同期增长13.8%，这个幅度与前两个月持平。石油产品、珠宝、汽车和建筑方面的需求一直特别强劲。

二、重点词汇：

investment n.投资，可获利的东西

evidence n.明显，显著，明白，迹象，根据， [物]证据，证物

2015年考博 单选： 有少部分原题（出自曾建彬《研究生英语》《研究生高级英语》） 阅读理解： 第一篇：Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, most of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—that purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and the capacity of a man is to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among tribal people all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect every- body is equipped for life. It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterates"—if the term can be applied to peoples without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries. Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents' and therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child. (选自新概念) 第二篇：关于在Internet site上挂条幅广告销售商品的。第一题问：文章开头是什么意思，我选择了，和传统广告一样，互联网广告也是为了促使消费者冲动消费。有一题问：下列哪些选项作者没提及：我选了传统广告在较长的竞争中必然会战胜网络广告方式。有一题关于互联网广告的：我选择了需要做些change来保持他的竞争性什么的。最后一题问作者对互联网广告的态度：uncertain,objective,X,X.另两个记不清了，我选的客观的。 第三篇：关于脸书，推特等这些网络平台火的原因，强调以前的网络平台web1.只是让你看别人提供的content，而web 2.如这些社交平台是让你能跟别人交流自己creat content,而不是enjoy 别人提供的content.一题问：Myspace社交平台火的原因：我选了有content的那个选项。有题问下面哪个选项作者没提及：我选了大家怀念web1.那个选项。 第3篇This reading comprehension focuses on social networks.

北京大学考博英语阅读理解模拟题

北京大学考博英语阅读理解模拟题 Passage one No agricultural operation has ever been invested with so much glamour as the making of maple syrup.We tapped about two hundred trees,few enough for us to know the personality of each.In a hollow on the south-east corner of the woods was a vast gnarled specimen which always had its three small red buckets full and often running over. I still think of that tree with affection,admiration,and gratitude. On the more exposed westerly side of the wood were almost equally sizeable specimens which scarcely produced a drop.We regarded them with dislike and resentment.Like certain politicians they had successfully divorced promise from performance. Sap in those days was collected in a wooden tub mounted on a sleigh. A circular track wound through the black,silent woods.The horses pulled the tub on the sleighs from point to point along this track. At each stop we fanned out with large pails to collect the sap from the bucket attached to each tree.If the sap was running well there might be a pleasant air of urgency about this task for numerous buckets would be spilling over.The sap was then boiled in a flat rectangular pan,about three feet by six or seven,which sat on a cement arch over a vigorous log fire.Immediately behind the arch,from which the operation could be watched,and with the whole front open to the fire, was the small,tin-roofed shed.There is no aroma on earth like that of boiling sap.In good years it was necessary to boil all night to keep abreast of the run.Then hour after hour the white steam billowed off into the black night or,on occasion,rolled into the shed as a special reward.Neighbors who did not make syrup came across the fields and through the woods to sit and watch the fire and the steam and enjoy the smell.One could take a dipper,dip out a pint or two of the thickening sap,cool it in a snowbank,and drink it all. The flavor of the syrup then produced was far better than what a less fortunate generation now gets.I learned the reason in what I believe was my first introduction to scientific investigation.Two brothers named John and Angus McNabb went into production of maple syrup on a commercial basis:they bought covered buckets and an evaporator and a galvanized tank for the sap and set out to make a quality product.

The physical distribution of products has two primary aspects:transportation and storage. Both aspects are highly developed and specialized phases of marketing.The costs of both trans-porting and storing are built into the prices of products.Transportation can be by truck, rail-way,ship,or barge.For some items,such as exotic plants and flowers,or when rapid delivery is essential,air freight may be used. Storage,or warehousing,is a necessary function because production and consumption of goods rarely match:items generally are not sold as quickly as they are made.Inventories build up, both in warehouses and at retail establishments,before the foods are sold.The transporta-tion function is involved in bringing goods to a warehouse and taking them from it to retail stores. Storage performs the service of stabilizing market price.If,for example,no agricultural product could be stored,all food would have to be put on the market immediately.This would,of course,create a glut and lower prices drastically.There would be an immediate benefit to consumers,but in the long run they would suffer.Farmers,because of low prices,would be forced off the land,and the amount of food produced would decrease.This,in turn,would raise consumer prices. Warehouses for storage are of several types.Private warehouses are owned by manufactur-ers. Public warehouses,in spite of their name,are privately owned facilities,but they are in-dependent of manufacturer ownership.General-merchandise warehouses store a great variety of products. Cold-storage warehouses store perishable goods,especially food products.Grain ele-vators are a kind of warehouse used to keep wheat and other grains from spoiling.A bonded warehouse is one that stores foods,frequently imported,on which taxes must be paid before they are sold. Cigarettes and alcoholic beverages are common examples. The distribution center is a more recently developed kind of warehouse.Many large com-panics have several manufacturing plants,sometimes located outside the country.Each plant does not make every company product but specializes in one or more of them.The distribution center allows a manufacturer to bring together all product lines in one place.Its purpose is to minimize storage and to ease the flow of goods from manufacturers to retailers rather than build up extensive inventories.It reduces costs by speeding up product turnover.Very large corporations will have several distribution centers regionally or internationally based 1.The main subject of this passage is______. A)transportation and storage B)storage of products C)distribution center

考博英语（阅读理解）-试卷80 (总分：40.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：4，分数：40.00) Too much alcohol dulls your senses, but a study in Japan shows that moderate drinkers have a higher IQ than teetotalers. Researchers at the National Institute for Longevity Sciences in Aichi Prefecture, 250 kilometers west of Tokyo, tested the IQs of 2000 people between the ages of 40 and 79. They found that, on average, men who drank moderately — defined as less than 540 milliliters of sake or wine a day — had an IQ that was 3. 3 points higher that men who did not drink at all. Women drinkers scored 2. 5 points higher than female teetotalers. The type of alcohol didn't influence the results. The volunteers tried a variety of tipples, which ranged from beer and whisky to wine and sake. The researchers are quick to point out that the results do not necessarily show that drinking will make you more intelligent. "It's very difficult to show a cause-effect relationship," says senior researcher Hiroshi Shimokata. "We screened subjects for factors such as income and education, but there may be other factors such as lifestyle and nutritional intake. " Shimokata says that people who drink sake, or Japanese rice wine, tend to eat more raw fish. This could be a factor in enhanced intelligence, as fish often contain essential fatty acids that have been linked to brain development. Similarly, wine drinkers eat a lot of cheese, which is not something Japanese people normally consume or buy. Shimokata says the high fat content of cheese is thought to be good for the brain. If alcoholic drinks are directly influencing IQ, Shimokata believes chemicals such as polyphenols could be the critical factor. They are known to have antioxidant properties and other beneficial effects on ageing bodies, such as dilating constricted coronary arteries. The study is part of a wider research project to find out why brain function deteriorates with age.（分数：10.00） (1).The Japanese study was carried out on______.（分数：2.00） A.the development of IQ B.the secret of longevity C.the brain food in a glass D.the amount of healthy drinking (2).The Japanese researchers found a higher IQ in______.（分数：2.00） A.female teetotalers than in male ones B.female drinkers than in male ones C.moderate drinkers D.teetotalers (3).When he says that it is very difficult to show cause-effect relationship, Shimokata means that______.（分数：2.00） A.the study failed to involve such variables as income and education B.he is doubtful of the findings of the investigation C.there are some other contributing factors D.the results were just misleading (4).From Shimokata's mention of fish and cheese we can infer that in enhancing intelligence______.（分数：2.00） A.sake or wine is a perfect match for fish and cheese B.they promote the drinking effect of sake or wine C.they are not as effective as sake and wine D.sake or wine is not alone (5).Based on the study, Shimokata would say that______.（分数：2.00） A.intelligence improves with age
