Melbourne, Australia 31 March, 2006  A study published in the March/April 2006 issue of China & World Economy reported that 2006 may be the crucial turning point in China’s economic history.
    President Hu Jintao has made it known that he understands a shift of gears is vital in order to inject a boost in China’s macroeconomic policies. The Hu- Wen leadership is poised to embark on new development strategies, with Hu’s much vaunted concept of "scientific development" set to address the problems previously associated with the nation’s strong economic growth. With President Hu’s l lth Five- Year Program (2006 - 2010) due to be formally adopted this month, China’s new development paradigm puts the nation at the brink of a new turning point.
    Published by Blackwell Publishing, in partnership with the Institute of World Economics and Polities and authored by Professor John Wong, Research Director at the East Asian Institute in Singapore the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of China’s pro -growth policies and developmental plans.
    Although fears of an economic "hard - landing" after a breakneck growth rate of 9.5 percent in two consecutive years subsided midway through 2005, the negative consequences of two and a half decades of spectacular economic growth had began to show. The people awoke to the questionable growing social side - effects of financial progress and issues such as inefficient energy usage leading to mounting environmental degradation, poverty and income disparity as well as the vast urban- rural divide begun to surface.
    A shift in China’s economic discourse has begun, with the emphasis on high GDP rates moving to the very nature of growth itself the nation’s economic focal point was now focused on the importance of "sustainable growth" and "balanced development".
    Despite international pressures on China for further revaluation of the renminbi and political demands on its monetary authorities to recycle its foreign reserves back to the international arena, inflation rates remained low and 76 percent of the Chinese reported to having an optimistic view of their future.
    With China’s economic growth uniquely driven by investment and its export engine operating not only as a source of its own economic growth but also as a catalyst for regional and global integration, the "lower middle -income economy" definitely has the capacity to deal with the negative consequences of its economic growth. 2006 looks to be the year for Chinese policy makers to commence re -orienting their development policies, and in the process enabling this industrial powerhouse to begin another journey towards "developed society" status. [br] What goal is the Chinese leadership trying to reach for fear that the nation’s economy goes directly from a period of expansion to a recession according to this passage?

选项

答案 The goal of the nation’s economic‘soft—landing’.

解析 本文的第二段和第四段中提到:中国领导集团着手制定新的发展战略,以“科学发展观”为指针,重新规划,以解决由于国家经济强势发展所带来的问题。其中经济“硬着陆”是最令人担心的事。由此可以判断:其目标是实现国家经济的“软着陆”。(另外参看第五段和第六段)
