专题限时检测(二十一)　阅读理解主旨大意类之全文大意题与段落大意题 (加★的为全文大意题或段落大意题，本卷限时24分钟) A (2015·扬州中学高三第四次模拟考试)(REUTERS/Jason Lee) Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of Chinas Central Bank, a high-level Chinese official on Sunday made the government’s first admission that the country’s economic slowdown was not going as planned. He told at a meeting of regional leaders that his country’s growth_rate_had_tumbled “a bit too much”． “Chinas inflation is also declining, so we need to be very careful to see if the disinflation trend will continue, and if deflation will happen or not，” said Zhou. His remarks were made at the Boao Forum for Asia, an annual conference on the island of Hainan in southern China. Zhou added that China could “have room to act” by taking “quantitative measures” and setting interest rates. For many, the way he described China?s health was no surprise. The country?s economy has not been growing this slowly since the 1990s. Companies in debt are seeing sickly profit margins. Banks are carrying loads of debt, too, and the housing market is slowing. China?s official 2015 GDP growth target is 7%, but that seems shaky. Acknowledging that significant intervention has to be on the table is a big deal for China. Everyone has known for years that this slowdown was coming because the government is purposely transitioning its economy from one based on foreign investment to one based on domestic consumption. It is a brutal process, but the government knows it is the only way the country will become the self-sustaining superpower it wants to be. (Barlcays) Until now, while the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was rough, it had assured the world that the situation was under control. Just a few weeks ago, Chinese officials were saying they would be monitoring deflation but still were not that keen on intervening with policy measures. Now it seems they are warming to the idea. In January, China?s headline consumer price inflation hit 0.8%, then it bounced back up to 1.4% in February.
