II.Reading Comprehension (20%)(选出符合题目要求的选项并将“答题纸”的相应代码涂黑。错涂、多涂或未涂均无分。)

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

In the past twenty years, though its economy was developing rapidly, China remains a developing country. Different from developed countries, which are well known for their abundance of capital and high cost of labor resources, China has plenty of low cost labor resources but lacks in capital. Difference in company resources has resulted in very different manufacturing process and corporation culture in China.

For a manufacturing enterprise, labor and equipment are two resources that can replace each other in a wide range. In developed countries, as a result of high labor cost and relevant abundant capital, enterprises often employ much more capital and equipment to replace the high cost labor resources when they design their enterprise projects. However in China, especially for middle and small private enterprises, capital often comes from private funding, capital is an insufficient resource. Also, China is a developing country with a massive population, and never lacks of labor force. When an enterprise designs the manufacturing process, it is very reasonable to use more labor and less equipment.

With the continuous growth of Chinese international trade in China, especially after China joined WTO, Chinese enterprises gradually enter the world market. On the other hand, enterprises from developed countries are also more and more involved in Chinese market. Two markets are gradually merging and two kinds of enterprises begin to compete in the same market. A real global market is forming and global manufacturing resources are being reorganized. Manufacturing process will be optimized to a new and uniform concept. This mutative process will have great influence over the world market. For Chinese enterprises, this change will bring more chances as well as more challenges.
