2023年寧夏考研英語考試模擬卷（5）本卷共分為1大題50小題，作答時(shí)間為180分鐘，總分100分，60分及格一、單項(xiàng)選擇題（共50題，每題2分每題的備選項(xiàng)中，只有一個(gè)最符合題意） 1.Text 4In applying the Optimum Currency Area (OCA) framework, the consensus that East Asia presents as good a candidate for monetary integration as Europe is generally arrived at. However, it can be observed that OCA framework had only an insignificant part to play in the decision to pass the Europe Monetary Union (EMU), it tends to be overshadowed by political sentiments. Thus, the central question on the possibility of an Asian Monetary Union lies not in its satisfaction of the OCA criteria, but whether the political resolve to achieve such a union is existent.Unfortunately, it appears that the political climate of East Asia is not favorable towards such a union at present, and is unlikely to undergo much positive alteration in the near future. Thus the manifestation of an Asian Monetary Union is unlikely in the foreseeable future, as the political resolve to bring this about is evidently lacking.However, to dismiss outright the possibility of creation of an East Asian monetary union would be presumptuous. Even though the political climate in East Asia does not appear to be ready for such an undertaking as yet, it cannot be denied that integrative and cooperative initiatives have indeed made much positive progress. Although the state of pan-Asian institutions is nowhere comparable with needed to engineer the EMU, however East Asia is taking definite steps towards regional cooperation.Thus, it would be hasty to simply write off the prospects of such a union. The road to East Asia may be long and fraught with obstacles, but it is not impossible. Only with visionary leadership, which looks beyond regional political sensitivities and rivalries, to recognize the economic imperative and promise of such a monetary union, can it have hopes of materialization. East Asian leaders, unwilling to undertake monetary unification due to fears of the loss of political sovereignty which it would entail should be more farsighted and recognize that in the present age, sovereignty is no longer absolute as globalization accelerates and increasingly blurs the lines of national boundaries. Sovereignty is not completely lost as nations will still be able to influence decision-making through the union, but as one voice amongst all other members. Furthermore, misgivings about the prospects of Asian monetary unification based on the grounds that East Asian nations are at very different stages of economic development with diverse structure of economy should look towards the monetary union between Singapore and Brunei, which has endured despite its members’ vast dissimilarity. Thus, current economic disparities should not prove insurmountable to an East Asian monetary union, provided regulatory and fiscal reforms critical to sound and sustainable economic growth are developed alongside monetary unification.In the previous section, a proposal which suggests gradual steps towards Asian monetary unification is mapped out, by first achieving smaller monetary unions instead of an Asian-wide monetary union. In this way, the vast economic disparity across Asia is breached gradually, as opposed to tackling it in its entirety, with the ultimate aim of an East Asian wide monetary union.What is the dominating obstacle in the process of EAMU（）A．The political resolve.B．The imbalance in Asian economic development.C．The cultural differences.D．The historical and geographic conflicts.2.Text 4In applying the Optimum Currency Area (OCA) framework, the consensus that East Asia presents as good a candidate for monetary integration as Europe is generally arrived at.

The era in which he lived, Elizabethan England, was a time in which broad interests and creativity could flourish. Elizabeth, the queen, was beloved by her subjects and proved to be a powerful and able ruler. Under the reign of Elizabeth, England changed from an island kingdom to an expanding empire. England grew rich through trade. Sixteenth-century Englishmen traveled to the New World and to Africa. Music, dance, poetry, painting, and architecture flourished; but the art form in which Elizabethan England distinguished the rest of Europe was the theater.The theater, which had practically disappeared from Europe was, at this time, received as a part of the church service. Later, no longer as a part of the service, the mystery plays responded to popular taste by adding more and more comic elements. In England, they were sponsored by various trade guilds and presented on stage wagons that went from place to place. When the mystery plays began to lose their appeal, they were replaced by morality plays which always taught a moral.In Renaissance England, writers were particularly interested in classical texts such as Latin and Greek plays. Schools and universities began to produce comedies and tragedies by Platus, Terence, and Seneca. Shakespeare was well acquainted with classical humanities and classical tragedies and comedies often served as models in his own drama. A Renaissance man, Shakespeare’s interest went beyond book learning to practical knowledge of military strategy, seafaring, business affairs, and the new geographical discoveries, all evident in his plays.Companies of strolling plays which had specialized in morality plays responded to the change by staging new plays. Professional actors, who had been viewed by English society as little better than vagrants or criminals, gradually came under the protection of the nobility. Licensed theater companies were formed; Shakespeare belonged to one of those, where in addition to his writing, he acquired a wide experience in acting and theater management.The theater grew in popularity and public theaters were built, not inside the city limits but just outside, along with other places of entertainment. Theaters in Elizabethan England were patronized by all social classes. The Globe Theater, built in 1599, where many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed, had a platform stage jutting out into a central courtyard. The audience stay around three sides of this platform the lower-c。
