Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is：Is economic globalization 50 for all?
According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 51 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 52 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes 53 at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.
Those who 54 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 55 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 56 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.
Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 57 the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 58 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. 59 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 60 their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of 61 . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to 62 and will be crowded out.
One thing is certain about globalization—there is no 63 . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The 64 now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all. (347 words)

【小題1】possible意為可能 smooth 意為順利的，光滑的，平穩(wěn)的 good好的 easy簡單的。根據(jù)上一句的“increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market”逐漸地把世界經濟轉變?yōu)榱艘粋�自由流動的全球大市場。很明顯這是講的市場開放的好處，因此后面提出問題，“問題是，經濟全球化對所有人都好嗎（有好處嗎）？”，故選擇C項。
【小題2】根據(jù)后文的“It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 52 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries ”中的increased wealth增加的財富，可知，市場開放給這些國家?guī)砹素敻坏脑黾�，財富增加了，那么就是減少了貧困問題，即選擇B項。Crime犯罪 poverty貧困 conflict沖突 population人口

【小題9】suffer遭受； profit獲益、盈利；learn學習；withdraw撤退、收回。根據(jù)后面的“ the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind”可知，窮人、未受教育的人、沒有技術的工人和當?shù)厝硕急粊G在了后面，也就是說只有少部分人是從中（市場開放）收益的，即profit from sth,從……中受益、獲益
【小題10】根據(jù)下文的“globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses.”意為全球化會逐漸威脅到新興企業(yè)。該觀點與上面幾句的觀點類似，都是屬于反對市場開放的，但是該觀點與上面的加大貧富差距不一樣，因此跟上一觀點是遞進關系，因此選擇A項，furthermore意為，此外，表遞進關系。Therefore意為因此，因果關系，however然而，轉折關系 otherwise否則，轉折關系
【小題11】根據(jù)上文中的“small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 56 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet”可知，當?shù)厝丝梢酝ㄟ^互聯(lián)網把商品賣到世界各地，即向國外出口（export)商品，故選擇C，句意為，例如，印度的手藝人目前看起來是從全球化中收益了，因為他們可以出口他們的商品，但是他們很快就會面對激烈的競爭，這可能會讓他們破產。故選擇C項。 Consume消耗、消費 deliver遞送，發(fā)表，advertise做廣告

【小題15】agreement意為同意、一致； prediction預測、預計；outcome意為后果；challenge意為挑戰(zhàn)。該句句意為，目前最大的挑戰(zhàn)就是找到一個方法，來創(chuàng)造出一個能夠對每一個人都有好處的全球化。

A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at two forty-six p.m. local time on March eleventh.2011. Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami（海嘯） warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.
There are more than four thousand Seismic Intensity Meters in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes.
There are also concrete(混凝土) sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.
Costas Synolakis ，a tsunami expert at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles said，"Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not expected the size of this event."
He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last one hundred fifty years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.
The nine point zero magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as thirteen meters in some areas.
Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves.
Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted
【小題1】Where can this passage probably be adapted from?
| A．A magazine on science | B．A fairy Tale |
| C．A scientific fantasy book | D．A newspaper |
| A．A terrible earthquake hit the northeastern coast of Japan |
| B．It was also the worst earthquake in Japan |
| C．The 9.0 earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan |
| D．Japan's concrete sea walls was unable to handle such high waves. |
| A．The country has never experienced any event as big as this one over the past 150 years |
| B．Japan has the best earthquake early warning systems in the world. |
| C．There are not concrete sea walls around all of the Japanese coastline |
| D．The government didn’t announce its first tsunami warnings three minutes earlier. |

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
Diet products weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie（卡）, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the counter instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food brands.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(營養(yǎng)成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
1.The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.
A. diet products can bring out people’s potential
B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products
2.One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to ____.
A. resist a variety of diet foods
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet
3.The purpose of writing this passage is _________.
A. to warn people of the side effect of diet products
B. to tell people how to lose weight
C. to advise people to eat diet products
D. to introduce some diet products
4. Which of the following shows the structure（結構） of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要點) C: Conclusion
