四、簡答題(本大題共6小題，共18分)
Passage 1
If Europeans aren’t bursting to give the single market a coming-out party, it may simply be that markets aren’t the kinds of things people gush about, as EC commission president Jacques Delors has often noted. The fact that free movement of people — an aspect of the market that will be most evident to the average person — is not yet a reality also plays a role.
Another explanation is that many of the market’s original 282 directives have already been implemented.
“By Jan. 1 we will have passed 95 per cent of what we sought in 1986 to create the single market, and much of that will already have been translated into national law,” says Perissich. “Adjustment to the market has been going on for years and won’t be expected over-night.”
36. What does the first sentence tell us about Europeans’ attitude toward the single market?
37. What are the reasons why Europeans don’t give the single market a coming-out party?
38. How do you interpret in English the underlined word “translate” in the third paragraph? Please find an appropriate Chinese equivalent for it.
Passage 2
On a conservative estimate the Uruguay round would permanently raise global welfare by more than $100 billion a year, spur economic growth everywhere, and extend competition to hitherto sheltered, and therefore backward, parts of all economies. By any standards, it would be a hugely valuable achievement.
Such opportunities come too rarely to be squandered. Yet this one still may be.
39. What would the Uruguay round bring to the backward parts of economies?
40. Why would an economy be backward once it is “sheltered”?
41. Please rewrite in full the last sentence “Yet this one still may be”.
