{{B}}International Trade{{/B}}
Since the end of World War II, international trade has developed
dramatically. All countries in the modern world join in worldwide trade, through
which various sorts of merchandise and {{U}}(51) {{/U}} materials arc
exported in {{U}}(52) {{/U}} for foreign currency, which means income
wealth from {{U}}(53) {{/U}} and job opportunity at home, and in the
meantime, foreign goods are imported to provide consumers with {{U}}(54)
{{/U}} and welcome merchandise. Today, economic interdependence among
countries is so {{U}}(55) {{/U}} that no country can close its doors to
the outside world, and the more prosperous the national economy, the more
developed the foreign trade. Economic globalization is now a {{U}}(56)
{{/U}} in the world. But in the past when old and new
colonialism ruled the world there was no free and fair trade at all. Powers,
{{U}}(57) {{/U}} the British empire, the United States, Russia, Japan,
divided the world into their spheres of influence—their colonies or
dependencies, where their businessmen {{U}}(58) {{/U}} their merchandise
at high prices and bought {{U}}(59) {{/U}} raw materials and labor at
low prices. {{U}}(60) {{/U}} of wealth flowed to these powers which then
grew prosperous, {{U}}(61) {{/U}} the colonies were driven into
destitution (贫困). The national economy of colonies was innately defective. Their
industries could not survive the overwhelming {{U}}(62) {{/U}} of
imports from the powers. Their monotonous national economy {{U}}(63)
{{/U}} in production of one or two agricultural crops or {{U}}(64)
{{/U}} products or minerals, to be sold in international market, for
example, orange and sugarcane in Cuba, banana and coffee in South-America, coal
in Poland, all {{U}}(65) {{/U}} to supply-demand relation in world
market under control of the powers. Even their customs were governed by
officials from the powers, whose exported goods thus could enter the colonies
nearly duty-free. It was after the collapse of colonialist system all over the
world that free and fair international trade, at least theoretically, could be
possible.
【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。选项D exchange意为“用……换取……”，作名词时可构成in exchange for sth.，例如：I gave her a sweater in exchange for a skirt.原文的这句话说明出口商品和原材料的目的是为了换得外汇，故选项D是正确答案。选项A substitute意为“替换物”，例如：I’ll never be able to find a substitute for that watch.选项B charge意为“负责，收费”。选项C communication意为“交流，通讯”。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。选项A overseas意为“海外的，国外的”，例如：overseas students。原文句中 income wealth与job opportunities at home相对，出口商品获得收入，收入来自国外，因此A是正确答案。选项B domestic意为“家庭的，国内的”，例如：domestic life(家庭生活)；又如：domestic products(国产品)。选项C household意为“家里的，家用的”，例如：household appliances。这两个选项都不合题意。选项D aboard意为“登上(飞机等)”，例如：go aboard a plane，语义上就更不通了。
【正确答案】

【答案解析】此题属于语篇连接题。空格后列举的国家是对主语powers(强国)的说明，因为是一些名词，故不能选 B as，as意为“如……”时后接句子，例如：She stayed in bed as the doctor had ordered.选项A namely意为“那，就是”，即that is to say，例如：Only one girl can drive, namely Betty.(只有一个女孩会开车，那就是Betty。)因此A是正确答案。选项C likely意为“可能的”；选项D nearly意为“差不多”；两者都不合文意。

(计划可能会因天气而改变。)选项B submissive to意为“服从的”(willing to obey)，例如：His wife is submissive to him.选项C subordinate to意为“比……低的，从属性的”，(less important or in a lower position)，例如：In the army, a captain is subordinate to a major.(上尉低于少校)。选项D subsidiary to意为“附属的”(connected with，but less important)，例如：The school is subsidiary to the university.本题应选A，说明殖民地生产什么完全由国际市场的供求关系决定。
