14、接融資的比重，進(jìn)一步把資本市場(chǎng)建設(shè)得更好、更快、更加國際化。關(guān)于流動(dòng)性過剩問題。流動(dòng)性偏多是全球的現(xiàn)象，中國也存在流動(dòng)性偏多的問題。美國財(cái)政赤字那么大，它那兒的流動(dòng)性也很豐富，產(chǎn)油國資金也很豐富。因此，資金面上的寬松是全球一體化之下相互影響的現(xiàn)象。宏觀調(diào)控當(dāng)局都應(yīng)該重視這個(gè)問題，做好自己的工作，對(duì)于過剩的流動(dòng)性應(yīng)該采取穩(wěn)健的、適當(dāng)收縮的政策。2. 端午原是個(gè)防病防災(zāi)的日子，卻因大詩人屈原增添了紀(jì)念層面的意義，增添了愛國情懷和報(bào)國無門的悲情、齊心協(xié)力救助生命的悲壯；因了陶淵明酷愛重陽，因了他酷愛的菊的勾連，重陽節(jié)衍生了“頌陶”的文化意蘊(yùn)，歌頌他“人淡如菊”的精神境界，“重陽無酒”也成了知識(shí)分子安

15、貧樂道的形象寫真。3. 1994年起，比爾·蓋茨開始了他的收藏愛好。作為擁有600億美元財(cái)富的收藏者，蓋茨想買什么就可以買什么，而他購買藝術(shù)品似乎也完全憑個(gè)人的興趣，沒有明確的學(xué)術(shù)或商業(yè)性目標(biāo)。還有很多不知名的微軟富翁也有收藏藝術(shù)品的愛好，這些微軟人囊中的巨額財(cái)富和近乎瘋狂的收藏行為對(duì)美國藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)產(chǎn)生巨大的推動(dòng)作用，證明了微軟公司在文化市場(chǎng)中有多重要。一個(gè)軟件公司創(chuàng)造的巨額財(cái)富使大量重要藝術(shù)作品流向微軟人手中，流向西雅圖。4. 2009年3月的全國“兩會(huì)”上，吳邦國提出，今年要著力加強(qiáng)社會(huì)領(lǐng)域立法，繼續(xù)完善經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治、文化領(lǐng)域立法。社會(huì)領(lǐng)域的公平正義，變化并沒有那么快，我們只需要翻找

16、出過去的研究和報(bào)道，就可以看到今天的問題所在。例如，上文提到的新華社2006年那篇文章中，對(duì)社會(huì)領(lǐng)域立法促進(jìn)公平正義列舉了五個(gè)方面：一是保障公民權(quán)利，尊重和保障人權(quán)；二是發(fā)展社會(huì)事業(yè)，提高公共服務(wù)的能力和水平；三是健全社會(huì)保障，發(fā)展慈善事業(yè)；四是規(guī)范社會(huì)組織，使各類具有公益或互益性質(zhì)的社會(huì)組織，納入規(guī)范化、法制化管理的軌道；五是重視社會(huì)管理，包括加強(qiáng)公共安全、應(yīng)對(duì)突發(fā)事件等。社會(huì)領(lǐng)域立法以促進(jìn)公平正義，也許更加直接地體現(xiàn)了孟德斯鳩在法的精神中強(qiáng)調(diào)的重點(diǎn)：限權(quán)。也就是保障私權(quán)利，限制公權(quán)力。從新華社列舉的五項(xiàng)內(nèi)容可以看出，每前進(jìn)一步的關(guān)鍵都是公私權(quán)界。顯然，在這方面還有相當(dāng)漫長的路要走。第二部分

17、 應(yīng)用文寫作 （40）根據(jù)下面的文字說明寫一篇450字左右的應(yīng)用文，要求包含標(biāo)題、正文、結(jié)尾語、落款等幾個(gè)要素。中國×進(jìn)出口商會(huì)于×月×日至×月×日派人去××，了解了××汽車索賠案的談判結(jié)果。根據(jù)中國××辦公室和對(duì)外經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易部××司的指示，現(xiàn)要給其上級(jí)部門即中國××辦公室的答復(fù)報(bào)告關(guān)于××汽車索賠案談判結(jié)果的報(bào)告，要求介紹談判過程及結(jié)果，并指出產(chǎn)生“索賠案”的原因等。請(qǐng)以中國×進(jìn)出口商會(huì)的名義起草一份兼具情況性和答復(fù)

18、性的報(bào)告，注意要寫標(biāo)題、發(fā)文字號(hào)、主送機(jī)關(guān)正文、結(jié)尾語、落款等公文要素。第三部分 現(xiàn)代漢語寫作（60）根據(jù)下面的文字要求寫一篇現(xiàn)代文，題材不限（詩歌、戲劇除外）。生活當(dāng)中，有許多事情當(dāng)你親臨其境之后，往往思想受到啟迪，身心感到愉悅。偶然憶起，就如品香茗，又如含青欖，清香久遠(yuǎn)，令人難忘請(qǐng)以“值得品味”為題，寫一篇不少于800字的文章。13翻譯碩士英語考試大綱一、考試目的 翻譯碩士英語作為全日制翻譯碩士專業(yè)學(xué)位（MTI）研究生入學(xué)考試的外國語考試，其目的是考查考生是否具備進(jìn)行MTI學(xué)習(xí)所要求的英語水平。 二、考試性質(zhì)與范圍 本考試是一種測(cè)試應(yīng)試者單項(xiàng)和綜合語言能力的尺度參照性水平考試?？荚嚪秶?/p>

Reading comprehension (40)Section 1 Multiple choice (20)Directions: In this section there are reading passages followed by multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then mark your answers on your answer sheet.Passage AThe Welsh l

33、anguage has always been the ultimate marker of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx, once widely spoken on the Isle of Man but now extinct. Government financing and central planning, however, have helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and offi

34、cial public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are required to learn both languages. Welsh is now one of the most successful of Europes regional languages, spoken by more than a half-million of the countrys three million people. The revival of the language, particula

35、rly among young people, is part of a resurgence of national identity sweeping through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the b

36、alance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of the people and wealth, England has always had bragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by Tony Blair, was designed to give the other members of the clubScotland, Northern Ir

37、eland, and Walesa bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union.The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a tu

38、rnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. The Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws. But now that it is here, the Welsh are growing to like their Assembly. Many people wo

39、uld like it to have more powers. Its importance as figurehead will grow with the opening in 2003, of a new debating chamber, one of many new buildings that are transforming Cardiff from a decaying seaport into a Baltimore-style waterfront city. Meanwhile a grant of nearly two million dollars from th

40、e European Union will tackle poverty. Wales is one of the poorest regions in Western Europeonly Spain, Portugal, and Greece have a lower standard of living. Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about great Welsh men and women, boosting self-esteem. To familiar faces such as Dylan Thomas

41、and Richard Burton have been added new icons such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, the movie star, and Bryn Terfel, the opera singer. Indigenous foods like salt marsh lamb are in vogue. And Wales now boasts a national airline, Awyr Cymru. Cymru, which means “l(fā)and of compatriots”, is the Welsh name for Wales

42、. The red dragon, the nations symbol since the time of King Arthur, is everywhereon T-shirts, rugby jerseys and even cell phone covers.“Until very recent times most Welsh people had this feeling of being second-class citizens,” said Dyfan Jones, an 18-year-old student. It was a warm summer night, an

43、d I was sitting on the grass with a group of young people in Llanelli, an industrial town in the south, outside the rock music venue of the National Eisteddfod, Waless annual cultural festival. The disused factory in front of us echoed to the sounds of new Welsh bands.“There was almost a genetic ten

44、dency for lack of confidence,” Dyfan continued. Equally comfortable in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used t

45、o think. We cant do anything, were only Welsh. Now I think thats changing.”1.

B. pop culture.C. towns appearance.D. possibilities for the people.Passage BThe miserable fate of Enrons employees will be a landmark in business history, one of those a

49、wful events that everyone agrees must never be allowed to happen again. This urge is understandable and noble: thousands have lost virtually all their retirement savings with the demise of Enron stock. But making sure it never happens again may not be possible, because the sudden impoverishment of t

50、hose Enron workers represents something even larger than it seems. Its the latest turn in the unwinding of one of the most audacious promises of the 20th century. The promise was assured economic securityeven comfortfor essentially everyone in the developed world. With the explosion of wealth, that

51、began in the 19th century it became possible to think about a possibility no one had dared to dream before. The fear at the center of daily living since caveman dayslack of food, warmth, shelterwould at last lose its power to terrify. That remarkable promise became reality in many ways. Governments

52、created welfare systems for anyone in need and separate programs for the elderly (Social Security in the U.S.). Labour unions promised not only better pay for workers but also pensions for retirees. Giant corporations came into being and offered the possibilityin some cases the promiseof lifetime em

53、ployment plus guaranteed pensions? The cumulative effect was a fundamental change in how millions of people approached life itself, a reversal of attitude that most rank as one of the largest in human history. For millennia the average persons stance toward providing for himself had been. Ultimately

54、 Im on my own. Now it became, ultimately Ill be taken care of. The early hints that this promise might be broken on a large scale came in the 1980s. U.S. business had become uncompetitive globally and began restructuring massively, with huge Layoffs. The trend accelerated in the 1990s as the bastion

55、s of corporate welfare faced reality. IBM ended its no-layoff policy. AT&T fired thousands, many of whom found such a thing simply incomprehensible, and a few of whom killed themselves. The other supposed guarantors of our economic security were also in decline. Labour-union membership and power fell
