单选题What Is Globalization? It was the anti-globalization movement that really put globalization on the map. As a word it has existed since the 1960s, but the protests against this allegedly new process, which its opponents condemn as a way of ordering people"s lives, brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the business model called the "globalized" financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more than just an economic impact on the parts of the world it touched. Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business, or running financial markets—it became a process. From then on the world took on a life of its own. So how does the globalized market work? It is modern communications that make it possible; for the British service sector to deal with its customers through a call centre in India, or for a sportswear (运动服) manufacturer to design its products in Europe, make them in Southeast Asia and sell them in North America. But this is where the anti-globalization side gets stuck in (关注). If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled from overseas. Then the creation of a globalized economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations, or a means of keeping poorer nations in their place. Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil, or that globalized corporations are running the lives of individuals or are more powerful than nations. Some say that the spread of globalization, free markets and free trade into the developing world is the best way to beat poverty—the only problem is that free markets and free trade do not yet truly exist. Globalization can be seen as a positive, negative or even marginal process. And regardless of whether it works for good or ill, globalization"s exact meaning will continue to be the subject of debate among those who oppose, support or simply observe it.

单选题The book made a great impact on its readers.

单选题Right and Wrong Suppose you work in a library, checking people's books as they leave, and a friend asks you to let him steal a hard-to-find reference book that he wants to own. You might hesitate to agree for various reasons. You might be afraid that he'll be caught, and that both you and he will then get into trouble. You might want the book to stay in the library so that you can read it yourself. But you may also think that what he proposes is wrong--that he shouldn't do it and you shouldn't help him. If you think that, what does it mean and what, if anything, makes it true? To say it's wrong is not just to say it's against the rules. There can be bad rules which stop what isn't wrong--like a company rule against criticizing the boss. A rule can also be bad because it requires something that is wrong--like a law that looks down upon black people in hotels and restaurants. The ideas of wrong and right are different from the ideas of what is and is not against the rules. If you think it would be wrong to help your friend steal the book, then you will feel uncomfortable about doing it: in some way you won't want to do it, even if you are also unwilling to refuse to help a friend. Where does the desire not to do it come from? What is its motive behind it? There are various ways in which something can be wrong, but in this case, if you had to explain it, you'd probably say that it would be unfair to other users of the library. They may be just as interested in the book as your friend is, but read it in the reference room, where anyone who needs it can fred it. These thoughts have to deal with effects on others--not necessarily effects on their feelings, since they may never find out about it, but some kind of damage. In general, the thought that something is wrong depends on its impact not just on the person who does it but on other people.

单选题阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案。 {{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.

单选题Intellectual Revolution Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling. Scraps of information have nothing to de with it. A merely well-informed man is the most useless 1 on God"s earth. What we should 2 at producing is men who possess both culture and expert knowledge in some special direction. Their expert knowledge will give them the ground to start 3 , and their culture will lead them as 4 as philosophy and as high as art. We have to remember that the valuable 5 development is self-development, and that it 6 takes place between the ages of sixteen and thirty. As to training, the most important part is given by mothers before the age of twelve. In training a child to activity of thought, above all things we must beware of what I will call "inert ideas" —that is to say, ideas that are merely 7 into the mind without being utilized, or tested, or thrown into fresh combinations. In the history of education, the most 8 phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are alive with a craze for genius, in a 9 generation exhibit merely pedantry and routine. The reason is that they are overladen with inert ideas. Except at 10 intervals of intellectual motivation, education in the past has been radically 11 with inert ideas. That is the reason why 12 clever women, who have seen much of the world, are in middle life so much the most cultured part of the community. They have been saved from this horrible 13 of inert ideas. Every intellectual revolution which has ever stirred humanity 14 greatness has been a 15 protest against inert ideas.

单选题The Sea What do you know about the sea? We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. We also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it? The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big. When you look at the map of the world you will find there is more water than land. The sea covers three quarters of the world. The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere. Some parts of the sea are very shallow. But in some places the depth of the sea is very great. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep! The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it! What a deep place! If you have swum in the sea, you know that it is salty. You can taste the salt. Rivers, which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. At that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it. What a deep place! If you have swum in the sea, you know that it is salty. You can taste the salt. Rivers, which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are saltier than other parts. There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea! In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are so small that it is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating these. The sea can be very cold. Divers, who go deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. When the diver goes deeper, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes him. Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal. But he cannot go very deep. Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving ship! They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it. They went down to a depth of eleven kilometers!
