The Dollar in World Markets
According to a leading German banker, the U. S. dollar is " the most frequently discussed economic phenomenon of our times" . He adds, " …the dollar's exchange rate is at present the most important price in the world economy…" . Because the dollar acts as a world currency D The central banks of many countries hold huge reserves of dollars, and over half of all world trade is priced in terms of dollars. Any shift in the dollar's exchange rate will benefit some and hurt others. Some people suggest, therefore, …8…
The dollar's exchange rate has been too volatile and unpredictable. Several years ago the dollar was rapidly declining in value. This made it…9… The rise in the price of foreign goods made it possible for U. S. businesses to raise the price of competing goods produced here, thus worsening inflation. Foreigners who dealt in dollars or who held dollars as reserves were hurt. People in the United States who had borrowed foreign currencies found that they had to pay back more than they borrowed…10…The United States lost face in the eyes of the rest of the world.
The dollar went soaring upward, and the situation was reversed. United States exporters found it hard to sell abroad because foreigners would have to pay more for U. S. dollars. People in the United States now bought the relatively cheaper foreign goods, and U. S. manufacturers complained that they could not compete. Job losses were often blamed on the " overvalued" dollar. Poor nations…11…found it difficult to repay both the loans and the interest because they had to use more and more of their own currencies to obtain dollars. The solution to this problem is to end the system of floating exchange rates and return to fixed rates. We might even return to the gold standard.
Fixed exchange rates did not work in the past Currency values should be determined by market conditions. A drop in the exchange value of a nation's currency means that…12…that it is too inefficient to compete in world markets, that it is permitting a high rate of inflation which makes its goods too expensive, that it is going too deeply in debt, or that others have lost confidence in the nation's stability. A nation should bring its exchange rate back up by addressing these problems, not by interfering with the money market.
A that had borrowed dollars
B that the dollar's value should be more tightly controlled
C because the declining dollar would buy fewer units of the foreign money
D its value affects many nations
E difficult for Americans to purchase foreign goods and services
F that have a lot of U. S. dollars
G it is importing too much

第10题
&8226;Read the text below about how to deny customers’ claims.
&8226;In most of the lines 34—45 there is one extra word. It is either grammatically incorrect or does not fit in with the meaning of the text. Some lines, however, are correct.
&8226;If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.
&8226;If there is an extra word in the line, write the extra word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet.
Denying Claims
Correct Customers occasionally want something they are not entitled to or that you
Their can't grant. They may misunderstand their warranties or make unreasonable
34 demands. Because these customers are often unhappy with a product or
35 service, they are emotionally involved in. Letters that say no to emotionally
36 involved receivers will probably be your much most difficult communication
37 task. As if publisher Malcolm Forbes has pointed out, "To be agreeable while
38 be disagreeing--that's an art." Fortunately, the reasons-before-refusal plan
39 enables you to be empathic and artful in handling with bad news. Obviously, in
40 denial letters you will need to adopt the proper tone. Don't blame on customers
41 or suggest that the customer does not read or understand what the contract or
42 relative policies, even if they are at fault. Avoid use "you" statements that
43 sound preachy. Instead, the safest path is to use neutral and objective
44 language to explain that why the claim must be refused. Sometimes you may
45 hope consider offering resale information to rebuild the customer's confidence
in your products or organization.
