　　(2011·合肥第一次质量检测)

　　The Japanese economy is at a standstill，Japan’s government has said，as concerns about the strong yen continue to

　　grow.The recovery in the economy was “pausing”，the Cabinet Office said in a monthly statement.

　　It is the most negative that the government has been about the economy in nearly two years.The rising yen and a slowdown in global demand for Japanese exports were blamed for the setback.

　　In recent months，the government has insisted that the economy is “picking up”．But it said it now expected the economy to remain weak for some time，with “weakening” exports being a chief concern.It said shipments to Asia in particular were becoming weaker，further hitting exporters that are already suffering from the strong yen.

　　The yen remains near a 15­year high against the US dollar，despite the financial interference (干预) in the currency markets last month for the first time in six years.

　　Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan (菅直人) has also passed a $63 billion stimulus (刺激) package in an effort to protect exporters who have seen the poor exchange rate eat into their profits.At the close of markets in Tokyo，the yen was trading at 81.44 yen to the dollar，just off the high of 81.27 yen.

　　“If the economy turns out as expected，we may end up describing the current situation as a soft patch，” one of the government officials said，“But if it comes under further downward pressure，it could end up slipping into recession (衰退)．”

　　1．The Japanese government think the current bad economy situation is partly due to________.

　　A．the decline of the strong yen

　　B．the unsatisfactory exports

　　C．the government’s mistaken policy

　　D．the decline in the quality of goods

　　2．In recent months，the government has a(n) attitude towards the economy situation.

　　A．shocking

　　B．negative

　　C．optimistic

　　D．aggressive

　　3．From the passage we know the government has taken measures mainly to________.

　　A．protect the foreign markets

　　B．protect profits of its exporters

　　C．monitor the yen exchange rate

　　D．stimulate domestic demands

　　4．The passage could probably be found in________.

　　A．a government white paper

　　B．a science fiction

　　C．a travel journal

　　D．a newspaper report
