Reasons for International Trade
Foreign trade, the exchange of goods between nations, takes place for many reasons. Every nation wants the opportunity to export its goods and services to other countries. A foreign outlet for sales enables a manufacturer or distributor to increase the volume of his business activity, thus increasing his chance to make a profit and increasing employment opportunities. Every nation also wants the opportunity and privilege of buying from foreign countries products and services that are scarce or unavailable at home that would be useful and beneficial to its people.
Trading with other countries is not the same as trading within one’s own country. At home a company or a bank is familiar with its own people, laws, and business practices. At abroad the picture becomes a complex one. Each country is different and therefore is said to carry different risks. Political risks, for example, relate to such varied factors as treaties, war, import quotas, and foreign exchange restrictions.
In today’s complex economic world, neither individuals nor nations are self-sufficient. Nations have utilised different economic resources. People have developed different skills. This is the foundation of world trade and economic activity. So countries that do not have the resources within their own boundaries must buy from countries that export them.
Foreign trade also occurs because a country often does not have enough of a particular item to meet its needs. As far as the United States is concerned, it enjoys the most favourable position and has vast coal and oil reserves, but the United States is also a heavy consumer of nature resources, and it is increasingly reliant on certain imports, especially on oil. It consumes more than it can produce at home.
If one nation can sell some items at a lower cost, the other countries would buy them. Japan. a highly industrialised nation, has been able to export large quantities of automobiles because it can produce them efficiently than other countries. It is cheaper for some Western countries to buy these from Japan than to produce them domestically. Japan should produce and export those items from which it gets a comparative advantage. It should also buy and import what it needs from those countries that have a comparative advantage in the desired items.
At last, innovation or style or quality plays the most important role in the foreign trade. For example, the United States produces more automobiles than any other countries; it still imports large quantities of autos from Japan, primarily because there is a market for them in the United States. In conclusion, developing international trade is a country’s long-term strategy. For most nations, exports and imports are the most important international activity. With this activity, nations can develop their economy.
According to the last paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、Nations can not develop their economy without foreign trade.
B、For most countries, foreign trade is an important international activity.
C、It is a long-term strategy for a country to develop international trade.
D、The United States never imports automobiles because it produces more autos than any other countries.
答案
D
解析
题目意为:“根据最后一段内容,判断下列哪项叙述不正确?”文中最后一段指出创新,风格以及产品质量在对外贸易中至关重要。举例来说,美国是世界上最大的汽车生产国,但是它仍然从日本进口大量汽车,是因为日本车在美国国内很有市场。最后作者进行了总结,只有发展国际贸易才能更好地发展国家的经济。A、B、C项在文中都有提到,只有D项与原文刚好相反。
