问题 •Look at the statements below and at the five articles.
•Which (A, B, C, D or E) does each statement 1-8 refer to?
•For each statement 1-8, mark one letter (A, B, C, D or E) on your Answer Sheet.
•You will need to use some of these letters more than once.
A
As the market economy system is being established and widely recognized in China, the production and import of autos in the country start to fluctuate according to the demand for them. Auto import is in fact a direct indicator of the country’s changing demand for these products. During the period of 1983—1985, the import of commercial vehicles and cars grew by three to four times every year. During the period of 1989—1990, China only imported 60,000—80,000 vehicles a year, 20% of that in 1985. In 1992 and 1993, the auto import leaped to 210,000 and 310,000 units.
B
The domestic vehicle makers have become more mature than before and ready to compete with their overseas rivals. This can also explain the dropping auto imports over the past few years. Generally speaking, imported vehicles have accounted for fewer shares on the Chinese market over the previous 20 years. The share of imported vehicles might take another rise when China’s auto demand surges again in the coming years, it would not be possible for imported cars to dominate the local market again. Imported cars are in fact playing a less important role in China.
C
The vehicle population in China grew from 1.78 million units in 1980 to 12.19 million in 1997 at an annual rate of 12%. The number of vehicles owned by per 1,000 citizens also increased from 1.4 units to 9.9 units. Chart 3 demonstrates the close relationship between the increase of vehicle population in the country and the growth of national economy. Generally speaking, the growth rate of vehicle population remains slightly higher than that of GDP, and the growth of passenger vehicles is always higher than that of all vehicles as a whole.
D
The development of the world automotive industry shows that the per capita vehicle ownership has much to do with the national economy situation. When the economy was first taking off in a country, very few people owned vehicles and the elasticity co-efficiency (EC) between vehicle demand and economic growth was slightly over 1. 0. Trucks and buses accounted for most of the vehicle demand. In the second phase when the growth of national economy was gaining speed, people’s demand for vehicles grew up, and the EC remained unchanged or rose significantly. During the 3rd phase when per capita income increased to a certain level, more families owned cars. There will be a great rise in per capita vehicle ownership.
E
In view of the close relationship between development of auto market and that of national economy, two factors are vitally important for the prediction of China’ s vehicle population in the future.  Firstly, one should give a quantitative description of this relationship by analyzing the industrial history in the other countries and territories. Secondly, one should make correct judgment about what phase of development China’s current auto industry is in.
There are two factors that will help us to predict China’ s vehicle consumption in the future.
