Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line thought the centre. Passage One Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has been halved. No, you’re not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed pletely. With the dollar slumping to a 26year low against the pound, alreadyexpensive London has bee quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks, just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States, runs about $8. The once allpowerful dollar isn’t doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar. The weak dollar is a source of humiliation, for a nation’s self esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. It’s also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast . economyfrom giant panies like CocaCola to momandpop restaurant operators in Miamifor which the weak dollar is most excellent news. Many Europeans may view the . as an arrogant superpower that has bee hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the . than a weak dollar.

For first five months of 2020, the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2020. If you own shares in large American corporations, you’re a winner in the weakdollar gamble. Last week CocaCola’s stick bubbled to a five year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Coke’s beverage business. Other American panies profiting from this trend include McDonald’s and IBM. American tourists, however, shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dolla r lost strength the way many marriages break up slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。 52. Why do Americans feel humiliated?

They regard it as a superpower on the decline. They think of it as a good tourist destination. 55 what is the author’s advice to Americans? They treat the dollar with a little respect They try to win in the weakdollar gamble They vacation at home rather than abroad They treasure their marriages all the more. 56 What does the author imply by saying “currencies don’t turn on a dime” (Line 2,Para 7)?
