{{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 are 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.

【正确答案】 D

【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】 B

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。选项A variant意为“不同的”，含slightly different from the usual form之义，例如：The word“flavour”is a variant spelling of “flavor”．(flavour是flavor的另外一种拼法。)选项B diverse意为“各种各样的”，例如：His interests are diverse．选项C changeable意为“多变的”；选项D divergent意为“分歧的，意见不同的”。应选B diverse来修饰merchandise意为“各种各样的商品”，与上文中的various相呼应。

【正确答案】 A

【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。

【正确答案】 B

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。从本句可知这些大国之所以繁荣是因为它们搜刮了许多财富。所以选项A Streams最符合文意，表示continuous series(流动，川流不息的行列)，例如：A stream of people came out of the theater．因此把这个词用在原句中，能非常形象地说明财富源源不断地流入了大国。选项B Flocks意为“一群”，例如：a flock of tourist选项C Swarms也表示“一群”之意，例如：a swarm of insects。选项D Piles意为“堆”，例如：a pile of newspapers。这三者都与原文不符。

【正确答案】 B

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】此题属于语义搭配题。选项D specialized意为“专门从事”，常跟介词in，例如：That shop specializes in foreign magazines. 上文讲殖民地的工业无法发展，就只能专门从事农业生产，故选D。选项A majored用于表示大学生所修专业，作动词时常跟介词in，例如：major in maths。选项B specified意为“明确，说明”，例如：Could you specify the question?选项C orientated意为“以……为目标”，常跟介词to/towards，例如： orientate the company to export。
