Made In The USA: An Export Boom
In his State of the Union address two years ago, President Obama argued that in order to recover from the economic recession, one of the few things the U.S. needed to do was to export more goods around the world. That night, the president unveiled a new goal: to double U.S. exports over the next five years. It would be an increase that the president said would “support two million jobs in America.”
Most economists dismissed the promise at the time as something unrealistic, but two years later, the U.S. is on pace to meet that goal. American exports are up 34 percent since the president gave that speech, and the number continues to rise.
Competitive In A Global Market
Marlin Steel, a metal working business in Baltimore, makes parts that ship all across the world. “We export to 36 countries,” owner Drew Greenblatt tells All Things Considered Host Guy Raz.“We"re working around the clock, and we"re growing.”
It"s not just advanced manufacturing exports on the rise, but pork, cattle and all kinds of agricultural exports are up as well. Even American craft beer has found an export market.
Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso says that increasingly, people all over the world are trying the beer from the Maryland-based brewery. Caruso says,“Even in those top beer-producing countries, a competitive American product is finding a market.”
Services Are Exports, Too
Another place exports are coming from is New York City—in particular, the 30th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper on 5th Avenue and 52nd Street. That"s where the consulting firm Kurt Solomon lies. It doesn"t actually produce a product for export; it provides management advice and strategy.
“Four out of every five Americans is now employed in the service industry,” the nation"s top trade official, Ron Kirk says, “Services are a significant part of our exports, and make up about a quarter of our exported goods.” These services can include everything from legal consulting, finance, information technology and even engineering.
And There Are Other Factors
So why has there been an increase of more than 30 percent for exports in almost everything? Part of the increase, at least for the manufacturing side, is due to better technology, says Tyler Cowen, an economist. “A lot of it is being driven by smart machines,” he tells Raz,“The U.S. has high wage rates, which is a disadvantage, but if machines are doing a lot of the work, that doesn"t matter.”
China factors a lot in America"s export economy, too.“Wages in China have been going up as the country becomes more productive. Thus China is losing the cheap labor advantage it has held for some time.” Cowen says.
Will Jobs Grow, too?
“Companies have become more productive by dismissing workers and lowering costs.”Cowen says.“So I don"t view exporting as a way of creating a very large number of jobs, but it will create more profits.”
So not every business or worker is necessarily benefiting from the export boom in the U.S., and Cowen says that could ultimately lead to a polarization(两极) of economic outcomes.

解析
试题分析:本文叙述了美国在经济的萧条期,美国总统却大胆地提出一定要推动经济的发展,走出经济的萧条期,在各行各业的共同努力下,经济发展了,出口额增加了,就业率提高了,但是有人认为这也可能会导致经济的两极化发展。

小题7:根据the beer from the Maryland-based brewery;可知 located/based位于。
小题8:根据Services are a significant part of our exports, and make up about a quarter of our exported goods.accounting for 与make up占,同义词组,故用accounting.

小题10:根据China is losing the cheap labor advantage ;take advantage of利用,是固定短语,故用advantage.

举一反三
“At last, no more exams.” It’s a common feeling among high school graduates who have just completed the college entrance examination. What a relief! However, rather than fill the next three months with sleep, eating, and 小题1: (watch) TV, some students have started working on finding a good choice of foreign college.
Different from those who begin their 小题2: (apply) for foreign colleges in Senior 2, Li made a late decision on a US education. She began to think about it in Senior 3, but decided not 小题3: ( give ) up the college entrance exam.
Li’s classmate Mao Bingxin 小题4: (consider) studying in Canada after the top exam. She began a TOEFL course on June 11.
He Wei, 小题5: 18-year-old girl who studies at Shenzhen Bao’an High School, isn’t allowing 小题6: much freedom this summer vacation either, devoting her time to looking for a language school 小题7: she can study French and some overseas study consulting agencies.
He Wei considers 小题8: worthwhile spending the summer preparing for college rather than hanging out with friends. “ 小题9: we don’t really know what the future holds for us, we are sure that the better preparations we make 小题10: it, the more choices we will be given.” she said.

小题2:Jack wants to show his feelings. He tries to make some of his own smiley, then shows them to a friend or classmate and asks them to guess the meaning.
小题3:Laura wants to challenge her teacher to see if he/ she is a good speller. She makes a bet that her teacher will make AT LEAST 5 mistakes on the test. If she wins the bet, the teacher has to buy ice creams for the whole class!
小题4:Donald tries designing his own paper invitations for his next party. He is trying to decide what the most important information is, and what kind of graphics or pictures he wants to use.
小题5:Lynn will find a lot of funny pictures at this site. It’s her job to write a funny caption for the picture. She will, first, get some ideas by taking a look at past photos to see what other people have written and which ones she thinks funny. Then she looks at the new photos and tries to think of a funny caption. When she has one that she likes, she can send it in an email with her name and country.

A. Closing Ceremony B. Spirit of Olympic Games C. The Olympic Torch D. Events of sports E. Women participants F. Opening Ceremony |
The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world. Every four years, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6, 000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose. This is in spirit of the Olympics – to take part is what matters.
小题2:
The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held – the host country – marches in last.
小题3:
The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.
小题4:
The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport – riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.
小题5:
More and more women are taking part in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women’s swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men.

注意:1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。
The summer holiday,when I’m looking forward to, is coming. What a fun it is to go swimming! Playing football is one of my hobby. I can ride my bicycle,climb high mountains, or go fishing. Sometime I can play chess with Grandfather. How interested my holiday will be! But my father is always afraid whether I will hurt by a truck, fall into water, fell off a tree or something else. And also he is afraid whether I will fight against others or be taken by bad people. And if I’m careful and polite enough,how will these things happen?I must try best to persuade my father.
