The World Trade Organization(WTO),founded on January 1,1995,aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible,making sure that trade agreements arerespected and that any disputes(争端）can be settled.

In the five years since its founding,the WTO has become well-known as one of the world's most powerful economic organizations,taking its place alongside the World Bankand International Monetary Fund.

The system of global rules for international trade,however,dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs(关税）and Trade(GATT) was formed after World War II.

As time went by,it became clear that the GATT had two majordrawbacks-thelimited areas of trade it covered,and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.

These are two important questions that many people are asking today．Some people think thatman might be able to solve both problems at the same time．They suggest using garbage as an energysource．and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage． For a long time，people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land．Now，empty land is scarce·But more and more garbage is produced each year．However，garbage can be a good fuel to use．Thethings in garbage do not look like coal，petroleum，or natural gas；but they are chemically similar totllese fossil fuels．As we use up our fossil—fuel supplies，we might be able to use garbage as an energysource．Burning garbage is not a new idea．Some cities in Europe and the United States have beenburning garbage for years．The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water.Thesteam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings．In Paris，France，somepower plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city’s garbage each year．The amount of energypmduced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil． Our fossil fuel supplies are limited．Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that wecan use to help meet our energy needs．This method could also reduce the amount of garbage pilingup on the earth．What is the author’s attitude?

7.Mr.Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective.In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years.At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent.Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr.Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into hisschool.Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr.Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior.He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy.For Mr.Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll.Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female，”said Mr.Leonar D.It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 A.m.until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr.Leonard，teach not the school’S academic jewels，but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no omework.Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.In Mr.Leonard’S school，most ofthe students who don’t have to pay for lunch____.

Passage Three

As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding the cheapest market for the wings they wish to purchase. (83) Specialization is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.

Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal. (84) The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties ’ desires and preferences.

Thirdly, money acts as store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on end would involve 20 obvious disadvantages. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided.If one had to save products instead of money, __________.

10.Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less．That describes the way many of us live today．We are doing more, but enjoying it less．And when that doesn't work, we get the problem．In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach. 　　The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe．Satisfaction lies with less, not with more．Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek. 　　Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, "The Harried Leisure Class," described the uselessness of pursuing more．His research focused on what people did with their leisure time．He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time．But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them．Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety．That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year. Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this．The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago．It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more. 　　If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me．How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on? 　　The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things．The more I give up, the more I seem to gain．But words will never convince you．You must try it for yourself．[单选题] We can make our life happier if we __.

Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more．I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear．According to the passage，the author is most likely a __________ ．

根据以下资料，回答46-60题。

Number sense is not the ability to count．It is the ability to recognize a46in number．Human beings are born with this ability．47, Experiments show that many animas are, too．For example, many birds have good number sense．If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not48．However, if you remove two, the bird49leaves．This means that the bird knows the50between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s51number sense．A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming．The bird did not52until the man left the tower．The man had an53．He took another man with him to the tower．One man left and the other stayed, but they did not54the bird．The crow stayed away until the second man left, too．The experiment was55with three men and then with four men．But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were56．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were57able to fool the crow.

How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good．For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a58group．But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are59fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human60is not much better than a crow’s.52A.relax,B.recover,C.react,D.return

Passage One

Telephone, television, radio and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. With in hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.

How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six

weeks for news from Europe to reach the Americas. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried ______.
