　　考研英語經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀理解專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練及答案：ONE STEP FORWARD ONE STEP BACK

　　At last, GM bags Daewoo Motor. But Hynix eludes capture

　　THE government is desperate to sell the most troubled of South Korea's big companies to foreigners. This, ministers believe, is the best way to accelerate

　　the corporate restructuring begun in the wake of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and to clear the way for more sustainable economic growth. This week, after months of on-off talks with foreign suitors, the government's plans moved a big step forward, and then an equally big step back.

　　On April 30th General Motors (GM) signed a contract to buy the bankrupt Daewoo Motor. But on the same day, the board of Hynix, a cash-strapped memory-chip giant, shocked the markets by rejecting a proposed takeover by Micron Technology, an American competitor. Micron had offered to pay about .4 billion for Hynix's core memory business, and to take a minority stake in the non-memory arm. Analysts predict that the government will put pressure on creditors to rescue a deal with Micron or seek a new buyer, as liquidation is too risky to contemplate in an election year.

　　GM's deal with Daewoo Motor marks the end of an even longer and more painful process. Ford almost bought the car maker two years ago, but pulled out after deciding that Daewoo would be too hard to turn round. GM had been talking with Daewoo for over a year. It has agreed to buy two of the company's four domestic car plants, a factory in Vietnam, a parts unit in the Netherlands and nine overseassales arms (all in Europe except one, in Puerto Rico of all places). Between them, the two domestic factories can churn out a combined 530,000 cars and 30,000 commercial vehicles a year.

　　GM has struck a good deal. Together with various undisclosed partners, it will hold a 67% stake in a new company, tentatively named GM-Daewoo. The American car maker will pay 1m for its own stake of 42%, but it will also assume 3m of Daewoo Motor's debts. The acquisition is a key part of GM's global expansion. The company has been trying to strengthen its foothold in Asia for some time. Buying a presence in South Korea was seen as particularly urgent, since imports account for only 3% of the 1.5m cars sold in the country each year. GM hopes to use Daewoo's production lines to make budget cars that will be sold under the Daewoo brand in most markets.

　　But GM has much work to do to rebuild Daewoo's damaged brand image and domestic market share, which hovers around 10% after reaching a high of 37% in 1998. GM has to fill holes in product lines by introducing sport-utility and multi-purpose vehicles, says Nick Reilly, former chief executive of Vauxhall, GM's British subsidiary, and chief-executive-designate of GM-Daewoo now that he has sealed the deal. His management team can expect trouble from South Korea's aggressive unions along the way. In a sign of things to come, the signing ceremony was moved to a secret location after a group of union activists occupied the hotel where it was due to take place.

　　難句突破

　　1.This, ministers believe, is the best way to accelerate the corporate restructuring begun in the wake of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and to clear the way for more sustainable economic growth.

　　主體句式：this is the best way to accelerate … and to clear the way …

　　結(jié)構(gòu)分析：本句是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句。“ministers believe”是插入語;“begin”在句中的詞性是及物動(dòng)詞，用做被動(dòng)語態(tài);詞組“in the wake of”的意思是“尾隨, 緊跟”;“to accelerate”和“to clear the way”都是不定式短語做定語。

　　句子譯文：政府部長(zhǎng)們相信，這是加快始于1997亞洲金融危機(jī)之后的公司結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整、為經(jīng)濟(jì)更有效地可持續(xù)增長(zhǎng)掃清道路的最好方式。

　　2.GM has to fill holes in product lines by introducing sport-utility and multi-purpose vehicles, says Nick Reilly, former chief executive of Vauxhall, GM's British subsidiary, and chief-executive-designate of GM-Daewoo now that he has sealed the deal.

　　主體句式：Nick Reilly says …

　　結(jié)構(gòu)分析：本句并不難，關(guān)鍵是理解Nick Reilly的頭銜。“former chief executive of Vauxhall, GM's British subsidiary, and chief-executive-designate of GM-Daewoo”是“Nick Reilly”的同位語，意思是“通用汽車公司英國(guó)子公司Vauxhall跑車部前任首席執(zhí)行官、目前已被任命但尚未上任的通用-大宇公司首席執(zhí)行官”;“now that”的意思是“既然, 由于”。

　　句子譯文：通用汽車公司英國(guó)子公司Vauxhall跑車部前任首席執(zhí)行官、目前已被任命但尚未上任的通用-大宇公司首席執(zhí)行官尼克•賴?yán)J(rèn)為，因?yàn)橐炎罱K敲定這筆交易，所以通用公司須通過引進(jìn)運(yùn)動(dòng)賽車或多功能汽車來填補(bǔ)生產(chǎn)線方面的空缺。

　　題目分析

　　1.答案為C，屬事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“This, ministers believe, is the best way to accelerate the corporate restructuring begun in the wake of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and to clear the way for more sustainable economic growth.。”

　　2.答案為A，屬事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“The acquisition is a key part of GM's global expansion.”

　　3.答案為D ，屬推理判斷題。原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“the government will put pressure on creditors to rescue a deal with Micron or seek a new buyer, as liquidation is too risky to contemplate in an election year.” 因?yàn)榇筮x年進(jìn)行清算風(fēng)險(xiǎn)太大，后果難以預(yù)料，所以政府將對(duì)債權(quán)人施加壓力以拯救與美光公司的這筆交易，或者另辟蹊徑，尋找別的買主。從這里我們可看出政府將會(huì)采取積極措施。

　　4.答案為B，屬事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“Ford almost bought the car maker two years ago, but pulled out after deciding that Daewoo would be too hard to turn round.”理解這句話的關(guān)鍵在與詞組“pull out”(其含義是“退縮;從某種境況或承諾中撤出”)和“turn round”(其含義是“轉(zhuǎn)身,轉(zhuǎn)變”)。

　　5.答案為C，屬事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。選項(xiàng)A、B、D在文章中都可找到對(duì)應(yīng)信息。文章最后提到“His management team can expect trouble from South Korea's aggressive unions along the way. In a sign of things to come, the signing ceremony was moved to a secret location after a group of union activists occupied the hotel where it was due to take place.”，我們可看出并不是所有人都贊同通用公司對(duì)大宇公司的收購(gòu)的，因此選項(xiàng)C是錯(cuò)誤的。

　　參考譯文

　　進(jìn)一步，退一步

　　通用公司終于盤到了大宇汽車公司，但Hynix卻避開被收購(gòu)的命運(yùn)

　　韓國(guó)政府想極力向外國(guó)人推銷南韓最混亂不堪、千瘡百孔的大公司。政府部長(zhǎng)們相信，這是加快始于1997亞洲金融危機(jī)之后的公司結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整、為經(jīng)濟(jì)更有效地可持續(xù)增長(zhǎng)掃清道路的最好方式。本周，經(jīng)過數(shù)月與外商斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的討論，政府的計(jì)劃向前進(jìn)了一大步，隨之又后退了相同的一大步。

　　4月30日，通用汽車公司簽署了一項(xiàng)購(gòu)買已破產(chǎn)大宇汽車公司的合同。但是，就在同一天，急需現(xiàn)金的存儲(chǔ)類芯片巨人Hynix公司的董事會(huì)斷然拒絕了美國(guó)的一家競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手——美國(guó)美光科技公司——的收購(gòu)建議，此舉令市場(chǎng)大為震驚。美光科技公司曾出價(jià)約34億美元來購(gòu)買Hynix公司的核心芯片業(yè)務(wù)，并在非存儲(chǔ)類芯片業(yè)務(wù)內(nèi)占少數(shù)股份。分析人士預(yù)測(cè)，政府將對(duì)債權(quán)人施加壓力以拯救與美光公司的這筆交易，或者另辟蹊徑，尋找別的買主，因?yàn)榇筮x年進(jìn)行清算風(fēng)險(xiǎn)太大，后果難以預(yù)料。

　　通用汽車公司與大宇汽車公司的交易標(biāo)志著一個(gè)甚至更長(zhǎng)和更痛苦的過程的結(jié)束。兩年前，福特公司幾乎購(gòu)買了這家汽車制造廠，但發(fā)現(xiàn)很難使大宇汽車公司起死回生后知難而退。通用公司與大宇汽車公司談判了近一年。最后決定由通用公司購(gòu)買大宇公司的四個(gè)國(guó)內(nèi)汽車制造廠，位于越南的一家工廠、荷蘭的一家零配件制造廠和九家海外分廠(除波多黎各一家制造廠外，其余的都在歐洲)。在它們之間，這兩家制造廠每年可生產(chǎn)53萬輛組合汽車和3萬輛商用汽車。

　　通用汽車公司做成了一筆極好的買賣。它將與各種不愿透露身份的合作伙伴一起擁有新公司(暫時(shí)命名為通用­-大宇公司)的67%的股份。這家美國(guó)汽車制造商將為其擁有的42%的股份支付2.51億美元，但它也將承擔(dān)大宇汽車公司5.73億美元的債務(wù)。此項(xiàng)收購(gòu)是通用汽車公司全球擴(kuò)張戰(zhàn)略的關(guān)鍵部分。在相當(dāng)一段時(shí)期內(nèi)，通用公司一直試圖鞏固它在亞洲的地位。人們普遍認(rèn)為，購(gòu)買南韓現(xiàn)有的一家公司是通用公司的當(dāng)務(wù)之急，因?yàn)槊磕甑钠囘M(jìn)口量只占國(guó)內(nèi)銷售總量150萬的3%。通用公司希望利用大宇公司的生產(chǎn)線生產(chǎn)出能以大宇商標(biāo)在大部分市場(chǎng)銷售的廉價(jià)汽車。

　　但是通用汽車公司還要做很多工作來重塑大宇已毀的形象，并且重新建立國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)份額。大宇原先的市份額在1998年達(dá)到37%的高峰后，一直停留在10%左右。通用汽車公司英國(guó)子公司Vauxhall跑車部前任首席執(zhí)行官、目前已被任命但尚未上任的通用-大宇公司首席執(zhí)行官尼克•賴?yán)J(rèn)為，因?yàn)橐炎罱K敲定這筆交易，所以通用公司須通過引進(jìn)運(yùn)動(dòng)賽車或多功能汽車來填補(bǔ)生產(chǎn)線方面的空缺。在這一過程中，賴?yán)墓芾戆嘧宇A(yù)料到會(huì)遭遇來自韓國(guó)工會(huì)的攻擊。在簽署相關(guān)事宜的時(shí)候，由于簽署儀式所用賓館被一群工會(huì)激進(jìn)分子所控制而不得不轉(zhuǎn)到一個(gè)秘密地點(diǎn)。

　　The big identity-theft bust last week was just a taste of what's to come. Here's how to protect your good name

　　HERE'S THE SCARY THING about the identity-theft ring that the feds cracked

　　last week: there was nothing any of its estimated 40,000 victims could have done to prevent it from happening. This was an inside job, according to court documents. A lowly help-desk worker at Teledata Communications, a software firm that helps banks access credit reports online, allegedly stole passwords for those reports and sold them to a group of 20 thieves at a pop. That allowed the gang to cherry-pick consumers with good credit and apply for all kinds of accounts in their names. Cost to the victims: million and rising.

　　Even scarier is that this, the largest identity-theft bust to date, is just a drop in the bit bucket. More than 700,000 Americans have their credit hijacked every year. It's one of crime's biggest growth markets. A name, address and Social Security number--which can often be found on the Web--is all anybody needs to apply for a bogus line of credit.
