Part ⅡCloze (1×20 points)

Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

One factor that can influence consumers is their mood state. Mood may be defined 41 a temporary and mild positive or negative feeling that is generalized and not tied 42 any particular circumstance. Moods should be43 from emotions which are usually more intense, 44 to specific circumstances, and often conscious. 45 one sense, the effect of a consumer’s mood can be thought of in 46 the same way as can our reactions to the 47 of our friends—when our friends are happy and “up”, that tends to influence us posi tively, 48 when they are “down”, that can have a 49 impact on us. Similarly, consumers operating under a 50 mood state tend to react to stimuli (刺激因素) in a direction 51 with that mood state. Thus, for example, we should expect to see 52 in a positive mood state evaluate products in more of a 53 manner than they would when not in such a state. 54, mood states appear capable of 55 a consumer’s memory.

Moods appear to be 56 influenced by marketing techniques. For example, the rhythm, pitch, and 57 of music has been shown to influence behavior such as the 58 of time spent in supermarkets or 59 to purchase products. In addition, advertising can influence consumers’ moods which, in 60, are capable of influencing consumers’ reactions to products.

Part ⅢReading Comprehension (2×20 points)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.

Before World War Ⅰwe spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandpa rents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all, the insects.

I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research. But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

61. The first paragraph tells us that the author .

A. was born to a naturalist’s family

B. lost his hearing when he was a child

C. didn’t like his brothers and sisters

D. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood

62. The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because .

A. he didn’t live very long with them

B. he was fully occupied with observing nature

C. he was too young when he lived with them

D. the family was extremely large

63. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was .

A. no more than a born naturalist

B. not a naturalist but a scientist

C. a scientist as well as a naturalist

D. first of all a scientist

64. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he .

A. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist

B. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic

C. just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries

D. comes up with solutions in a most natural way

65. According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be .

A. full of ambition

B. full of enthusiasm

C. knowledgeable

D. self disciplined

Going online is a favorite recreation for millions of American children. Altmost 10 million (14 percent) of America’s 69 million children are online. The Internet both entertains and educates children, however, there are some possible negative consequences for children who access kid based Web sites. Advertising on kid based Web sites has become both a rapidly growing market for consumer companies and a concern for parents. With a click on an icon, children can link to advertisers and be granted tremendous spending power. Children are an important target group for consumer companies. Children under age 12 spent ＄14 billion, teenagers another ＄67 billion, and together they influenced ＄160 billion of their parents’incomes.

Many critics question the appropriateness of targeting children in Internet advertising and press to require that children be treated as a “special case” by advertisers. Because children lack the analytical abilities and judgment of adults, they may be unable to evaluate the accuracy of information they view, or understand that the information they provide to advertisers is really just data collected by an advertiser. Children generally lack the ability to reject the release of personal information to an advertiser, an even greater problem for children when they are offered incentives (刺激)for providing personal information, or when personal information is required before they are allowed to register for various services. Children may not realize that in many cases these characters provide hot links directly to advertising sites.

The Internet does present some challenges for advertisers who want to be ethical in their marketing practices. Many advertisers argue that we underestimate（低估）the levels of media awareness shown by children. By the age of seven or eight most children can recognize an advertisement and know that its purpose is to sell something and are able to make judgments about the products shown in advertisements. However, this somewhat optimistic and decidedly libertarian view of children runs aground when realize that they are(like a surprising number of

adults) unable to judge accurately between entertainment and advertising. Adults can fend for themselves but, as marketers, we should be explicit (明确的)about our purpose when advertising to children on the Internet.

66. According to the first paragraph, children as an Internet market .

A. are becoming increasingly rational

B. are using Internet at an earlier and earlier age

C. have created a growing advertising market

D. are overtaking the adult market due to their spending power

67. Targeting children for advertising is controversial because children.

A. are unable to analyze and judge advertisements

B. are unable to cooperate since they are too young

C. often give off information that may be dangerous to them

D. are not ready to evaluate advertisements or information requests

68. Many advertisers defend the targeting of children because.

A. no actual sales take place

B. it is up to parents to monitor their children

C. children understand what an advertisement is trying to do

D. children are provided a game in return for the information

69. One reason why children are unable to resist giving personal information on Internet is that .

A. they feel they must follow an adult’s orders

B. advertisement is presented in connection with entertainment

C. they do not know that the information is going to be read by someone

D. due to their inability to distinguish an advertisement from a non advertisement

70. In the passage the author wants his marketers to understand that .

A. advertising to children must stop

B. a libertarian view in advertising is unethical

C. advertising to children must have a clear purpose

D. children must be treated differently when advertising

There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual in the sort of environment in which he is reared(养育). If an individual is handicapped(残疾的)environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligen ce can be demonstrated by the case in history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster(收养的)homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well to do parents who had been to college. He was reared as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intelligently. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given

tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s IQ was 125, twenty five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested roughly the same level.

71. The best title of the passage could be .

A. Measuring Your Intelligence

B. Intelligence and Environment

C. The Case of Peter and Mark

D. How the Brain Influences Intelligence

72. Which of the following can sum up the main idea of the passage?

A. Environment is important in determining a person’s intelligence.

B. Human brains differ considerably.

C. The brain a person born with is important in determining his intelligence.

D. Persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence.

73. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is .

A. 85

B. 125

C. 110

D. 100

74. The case in history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that .

A. individuals with identical brains seldom test at the same level

B. an individual’s intelligence is determined only by his environment

C. lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence

D. changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain

75. This passage suggests that all individual’s I.Q. .

A. can be increased by education

B. stays the same throughout his life

C. can be predicted at birth

D. is determined by his childhood

H5N1 avian influenza，known commonly as bird flu，has killed at least 15 people across Asia and was confirmed in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland，but 13 of the country’s 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities(直辖市)have reported the disease in poultry.

The Chinese government has taken measures to prevent and control the disease. Poultry within 3 km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5 km to receive vaccines(疫苗). Meanwhile，there will be constant monitoring and daily reports on the disease across the country，and increased production of bird flu vaccines.

Among the Asian countries and regions affected by bird flu in animals，only Vietnam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have caught the disease from poultry，while the World Health Organization(WHO)said there is“no proof of human to human transmission(传播)”of bird flu.

The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus to create a deadly new disease that will kill millions of people across the globe. Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens in the market. This greatly increases the possibility of human beings infected with bird flu.

A spokesman of the WHO said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens. And the people there have to complexly change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals. Here are some safety measures for people to stay healthy: *Keep fit and well through regular exercise；

*Avoid infected poultry and infected people；

*Avoid eating raw or under done poultry and eggs；

*Make sure there is always fresh air in your home；

*Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing；

*Wash your hands frequently.

76. What does the word “poultry”in the passage mean?

A. Wild birds.

B. Wild animals.

C. Home raised birds.

D. Home raised animals.

77. From the passage，we can learn that .

A. infected poultry within 3 km was killed in China

B. bird flu case was confirmed in China on Jan.27

C. human cases were found in 13 Asian countries

D. over two thirds of China has been infected with bird flu

78. What do people fear most?

A. Poultry will infect many people.

B. The disease can spread quickly among people.

C. There will be human to human transmission.

D. A new disease combining bird flu and human flu will break out.

79. One of the right ways for us to avoid bird flu is .

A. to kill all the poultry

B. to eat no more chickens

C. to form a healthy habit

D. to keep separated from others

80. Which must be wrong for the Asians to change their lifestyle?

44, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the 45 of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large 46, only to find that 47 them he has lost the best friend he had.

Two 48 years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships 49 to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire, but without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire 50 to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation.

51 a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this, the villager wants wood to cook his food 52, and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too 53 to plant and look after new trees. So, 54 the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that the villagers’ sons and grandsons have 55 trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing 56 washed away on the 57 surface, causing floods and carrying away 58 it the rich top soil, in which crops grow so well. When all the top soil is 59, nothing remains 60 worthless desert.

Part ⅢReading Comprehension (2×20 points)

Though your parents probably meant to have your name last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it they’d hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they cared for when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit you, don’t lose heart. Film stars change their names, and with some determination, you can, too.

If you wish to pick up a new name, you don’t need to make the change official. Under common law, all that is necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, though, that you must use it everywhere—even with your mother—for it is to become your legal name.

Getting friends and fellow workers to call you Leach instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork involved, but you’ll probably meet official resistance, too. Be sure that no law prevents you from using the name you have chosen, unless you use it for the purpose of cheating. If the gas company tells you that you cannot get your bill under a new name, they are wrong. You don’t have to show them any sort of court document. You have a right to be called by whatever name you choose.

By this time, you’ve probably realized that changing your name is more difficult than replacing your furniture or changing your hair color, though the effect can be unusually encouraging. Don’t care too much if you have to keep reminding others of your change of a new name—keep on, and your friends and lover will accept your new name. Good luck!

61. You may wish to change your name because.

A. you are required to do so

B. you don’t mean to have your name last a lifetime

C. you like to follow what film stars often do

D. you may not like your parents’ choice

62. If you wish to start using the name of your own choice, you.

A. must get your friends to call your new name first

B. don’t have to get permission from anybody

C. must use it with your mother first

D. need to be approved by the court

63. No law keeps you from using whatever name you have chosen, if only.

A. you pick up a new name not for purpose of wrong doing

B. you can get your fellow workers to call you the new name

C. the gas company agrees to get your bill under your new name

D. some sort of court document is given to you

64. You may realize that changing your name.

A. usually has good effect

B. is actually asking for trouble

C. is not as easy as rearranging your room

D. means you have to go through some troubles

65. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to.

A. show you the need of changing your name

B. encourage you if you want to change your name

C. tell you how easy it is to change one’s name

D. list al l the difficulties in changing one’s name

A library is more than just a place where books are stored. A library is a source of information. That information may come from books (fiction, nonfiction, or reference books), from periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals), from audio visual materials (records, cassettes, microfilm, video tapes, etc. ), or even from a computer terminal.

Students go to libraries to study and to write research papers. The periodicals room of a university library is where foreign students often find newspapers and magazines from their countries. In the reference room, they can find catalogs from many universities in the U.S. and other countries. If you are buying a used car, the reference librarian can show you the Blue Book, which lists the prices of new and used cars. People who need information in a hurry can telephone the reference librarian at many libraries.

There are as many different library services as there are types of people who use them. Children’s libraries provide materials for young reade rs. They sometimes have story tellers who read stories to groups of children, and a few have computers for the children to play with. Music lovers can listen to recordings of their favorite musicians in music libraries. Some libraries offer special service s for blind people, such as books in Braille, “talking” books, and Kurzweil Reading Machines.

Libraries provide entertainment as well as information. Novels and short stories from a library’s fiction collection are a good source of enjoyable reading practice. Public libraries often sponsor lectures on topics of interest to members of the community, and a few even offer concerts and films. No matter what your interests are, you will find that a library can be a great place to enjoy yourself while you learn.

66. In libraries，readers can get information from.

A. computer terminal, books, periodicals or nonfiction

B. books, periodicals, audio visual materials or video tapes

C. periodicals, books, audio visual materials or a computer terminal

D. materials, reference books, periodicals, audio visual or journals

Everyone seems to be in favor of progress. But“progress”is a funny word. It doesn’t necessarily mean that something has become stronger, wiser, or better. It simply means changing it from being one thing to another and sometimes it turns out to be worse than before.

Consider medicine, for instance. No one can deny that medical progress has enriched our lives tremendously. Because of medical advances, we eat better, live easier and are able to take care of ourselves more efficiently. We can cure disease with no more than one injection or a pill. If we have a serious accident, surgeons can put us back together again. If we are born with something defective, they can repair it. They can make us happy, restore our normality, ease our pain，replace worn parts and give us children. They can even bring us back from the dead. These are wonderful achievements, but there is a price we have to pay.

Because medicine has reduced infant mortality and natural death so significantly, the population has been rising steadily, in spite of serious efforts to reduce the rate of population growth. Less than a century ago in the United States, infant mortality claimed more than half of the newborn within the first year of life. Medical advances，however, have now reduced that rate to nearly zero. A child born in the United States today has better than a 90％chance of survival. Furthermore, medical advances have ensured that most of these infants will live to be seventy years of age or more, and even that life expectancy increases every year. The result of this progress is an enormous population increase that threatens the quality of life, brought about by progress in the medical profession.

71. According to this passage, “progress”doesn’t always mean that .

A. something has become stronger and better

B. something has been changed from being one thing to another

C. something has become funny

D. something turns out to be worse than before

72. The children born in the United States today .

A. will avoid being threatened by the tremendous medical progress

B. have as much chance of survival as before

C. will probably live to be seventy years old

D. have much more chance of survival than that of death

73. In the last sentence of Paragraph 2，“a price we have to pay”means .

A. something very expensive

B. something we have to lose or suffer

C. a large sum of money

D. something desirable

74. This passage implies that population increase is .

A. not beneficial

B. helpful

C. advantageous

D. desirable

75. The main idea of the passage is that .

A. progress does not always bring about an improvement

B. modern medicine has made our lives better in some ways

C. the growth in population is partly the result of medical progress

D. progress is too difficult to understand

Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the

content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept.

We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.

Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter has only a part time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own schools. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.

Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers were summed up when parents re ferred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.

Many short stay child patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about those who fall behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.

76. The author points out at the beginning that .

A. every child in hospital can receive education

B. not enough is known about hospital teaching

C. hospital teaching is of unknown quality

D. the special children’s hospitals are worst off

77. It can be inferred from the latest survey that .

A. hospital teaching is not available

B. each hospital has at least one part time teacher

C. all hospitals surveyed offer education to children

D. only one fourth of the hospitals have part time teachers

78. Children in hospital usually turn to in order to catch up with their school work.

A. hospital teachers

B. schoolmates

C. parents

D. school teachers

79. We can conclude from the passage that the author is .

A. unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitals

B. in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitals

C. unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching

D. satisfied with the results of the latest survey

80. If there is a teacher available in the hospital, a child tend to.

A. spend some time studying as they do at school

B. complain to the hospital about the conditions

C. be prepared for the study

D. try their best to study

The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (暗淡的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a

World of the Future Scientists think that wonderful things may come true in the future. Future means a time that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won't come tree, we think, until a long time from now. Some, of course, may never come true--but who knows for sure? They may. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? A world underground The green utopia (an ideally perfect place) underground is going to help us regain a more harmonious relationship between the often opposing sides of large-scale development and our ecosystem. The city may be called Alice City, from Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland, which offers a wonderful world that is almost as fantastical as that was described in the book. A large clear dome (圆顶), within an area of open parkland, leads into a multi-leveled structured metropolis of underground offices, housing, transportation and public areas. There will be everything to make the city as self-sufficient as possible including shopping malls, theatres and sports complexes in addition to facilities (contained in a separate structure) for power generation, heating and waste recycling. Apart from offering an almost limitless space for development, such underground development has many more attractive ecological advantages over traditional forms of housing. It is less disturbing than high rise development and therefore favorable in environmentally sensitive areas. Land above the complex can be set aside for parkland and recreational use. In towns or cities where pollution levels are high, air can be filtered through air pipes in the roof of an underground housing or industrial complex. A world underwater At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine starts to push. Down slides the submarine--like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper under the water. Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an air-plane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that--hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! A world in space Let's go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way-up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. A new world on the Earth Let's go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls--and boys, too--may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers --machines that answer questions and do arithmetic faster than you can blink. Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer. Imagine a race between them! There may be telepathy (心灵感应) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! Robots There will be other surprises in the future. How would you like to have a robot playmate? Having robot playmates may not be-so much fun as it seems. But maybe a boy with a wrench (扳手) and a screwdriver can fix the robot so that it won't be too perfect! Food What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial --made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. You don't think that ice-cream or cake or candy or even bread and potatoes made out of these things will taste very good? You may be wrong. These artificial things will be blended so skillfully by food chemists that the food of the future probably will be delicious. It probably will also be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. A longer life Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last longer. They probably will find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. TV Are you wondering whether there'll be television in the future? There'll almost certainly be wonderful programs. Television screens probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you. Highways What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving by car will be as safe as being at home. Weather control But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won't have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live. But the time you axe living in now was also "a wonderful future" to the people who lived 100 years ago. 1. The underground city would get its name from a book called Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland. A. Y B. N C. NG 2. The multi-leveled structure underground would include everything that is necessary to a city, from offices, shopping malls to power and heating system. A. Y B. N C. NG

Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit（贸易逆差）is $15 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import
