问题 Passage 2
The U. S.-China economic relationship is entering a new phase. First, U. S.-China economic interdependence is deepening. We need each other more and on a broader number of economic issues. Over the past 5 years, according to U. S. data, U.S. exports to China have grown from $18 to $ 52 billion, while U. S. imports from China have grown from $100 billion to $ 290 billion. Moreover, the United States and China are shaping, and being shaped by, global energy and environmental trends, which have strong economic consequences. //
    Second, whereas trade and investment were once largely a source of stability in bilateral relations, they are now increasingly also a source of tension. In the 1980s, we didn’t have significant trade tensions with China—mainly because we didn’t have much bilateral trade. In a sense, the fact that we have trade tensions reflects a maturing of our relationship and the rapid growth in bilateral trade and investment. We need to manage those tensions effectively in order to keep a steady growth of our bilateral economic relationship.

选项

答案 显然中美经济关系正在步入一个新阶段。首先,中美经济的互相依赖程度正在加深。在越来越多的经济问题方面,我们都更加需要彼此。过去五年间,据美国方面的数据,美国对中国的出口额已经从180亿美元增加到520亿美元,而美国从中国的进口额也从1000亿美元增加到2900亿美元。此外,美国和中国也正塑造着全球的能源和环境趋势,当然同时也为其所塑造。这种塑造与被塑造具有重大的经济意义。//
    其次,贸易和投资曾在很大程度上是双边关系稳定的原因,但现在,它们也正日益成为双方关系紧张的原因。在20世纪80年代,我们和中国尚未出现明显的贸易紧张局面,主要是因为那个时候我们还没有很多的双边贸易。从某种意义上讲,我们的贸易紧张正反映了我们关系的成熟及双边贸易与投资的迅速增长。我们需要确保能够有效地处理好这些紧张关系,使双边经济关系平稳发展。
