A
The World Trade Organization(WTO), founded on January 1,1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled.
In the five year since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organization, taking its place alongside the world Bank and 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 major drawbacks--- the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguary Round finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property(知识产权)
Even after seven years of talks and 22,500 pages of agreements there were still problems, especially the difficulty to deal with areas of agriculture and services, which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000.
The WTO, with its head office in Geneva, has 150 members with 30 more waiting to join.
56. From the passage we know that the GATT stopped working ______
A. soon after World War II ended B. just in the year 1994
C. a little more than 50 years after World War II
D. seven years before the Uruguary Round talk
57. Compared with GATT, the WTO ________.
A. can do better to settle disputes in more areas international trade
B. got its members to sign the agreements more easily
C. has got too many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectively
D. didn’t pay enough attention to services and intellectual property
58. In the new century the WTO will _________.
A. take the place of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund
B. have new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property
C. make complete new rules in every area of international trade
D. have members and do much more to settle more problems
59. The word “drawbacks” probably means ________.
A. weak points B. changes C. advantages D. improvements

Left-handers Are Equal
MUNICH---Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci were in the club; Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are also among its most famous members.
Left-handed people, however, are considered less intelligent or unskillful with their hands.
Schools in many countries may allow children to write with their left hand, but in the meantime “the idea that children should be re-educated to write with the right hand has not yet been removed from the heads of many parents and grandparents,” says Elizabeth Werthmueller of the Left-handers’ Initiative in Fulda in central Germany.
International Left-handed Day was held on August 13, 1976 ----it was a public holiday--- in the US.
Nowadays interest is steadily growing and there are several advice centers to provide advice and actively campaign against the opinion that left-handers are unskillful.
Psychologist and psychotherapist精神病医生 Johanna Barbara Sattler, who founded the first advice center for left-handers in Munich in 1985,can only shake her head over some of the conclusions she’s heard. “Left-handed people die nine years earlier than right-handers” is one rumour
Sattler says that the process of changing writing hands means a sudden attack on the brain. Memory and speech defects缺点 are the results, she says, because left or right-handedness, which scientists say is in any case inherited遗传, is controlled by the hemispheres大脑半球 of the brain. These are connected to the opposite body-half by crossed nerves.
In left-handers, the right hemisphere is functionally dominant支配. It is primarily responsible for determining space preferences and thought. This explains why left-handed people are often described as particularly creative.
But in the workplace, they often have problems in using technical devices. However, it is always better to choose another job than to retrain to use the right hand, says Expert Sattler.
In contrast to 30 ears ago, left-hander are no longer forced to switch to their right hand in German schools, yet many teachers still have no idea how they can help left-handers with practical advice. Instead, these children often have to hear that they have to get along with “the problem” themselves.
60. The first paragraph tells us that ___________.
A. scientists in the world are all left-handers
B. artists in the world are all left-handers
C. famous people all over the world are members in this special club
D. some famous people may be left-handers
61. From the third paragraph we learn that ___________.
A. students in many schools must write with their left hand
B. students in many schools sometimes write with their left hand
C. many parents insist that students write with their right hand
D. many parents insist that students write with both hands
62. According to Sattler’s opinion, changing writing hands is __________-.
A. reasonable B. interesting C. scientific D. unnecessary
63. It shows in this passage that left-handers are ____________
A. unskillful in the workshop B. often full of imagination in their work
C. always trying to defeat right-handers D. often simple-minded and foolish
64. From the last two paragraphs we find that ________.
A. people’s opinion about left-handers has changed
B. German students seldom get help from their teachers
C. Left-handers at German schools feel disappointed
D. Left-handers at German schools find no trouble using anything

The Attack on September 11th
New York: When the first jet struck 1 World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center with a view of the instant damage across the divide had the clearest sense of what they, too, must do: get out first.
Katherine Ilachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Ms Ilachinski, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (manager), screamed and set off, too.
But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.
Amid the uncertainty about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower instructed people to stay put, assuring them that the building was sound and the threat was limited to the other tower.
Some left, others stayed. Some began the climb down and, when met with more announcements and other cautions警告 to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were doomed注定死亡 when the second jet crashed into the south tower, killing many and stranding使某物留在 many more in the floors above where the jet hit.
One of those caught in indecision was the executive at Fuji Bank USA.
Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.
“I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr. Jacobs said.
65. From the passage, we know that the south tower was hit by the plane ___________.
A. at 8:30 B. 18 minutes earlier than the north tower
C. at around 9:00 D. at 8:48
66. The underlined words “stay up” means _________.
A. stay in the building B. leave at once
C. put everything back and then leave D. keep silent
67. Which floor was hit by the second jet?
A. the 91st floor b. the 103rd floor
C. the 60th floor D. the 79th floor
68. Fewer people would have died if __________.
A. more announcements had been made B. people hadn’t used the lifts
C. the incident had happened on a weekend D. the people had obeyed the office rules
D
I hitched(钩住) the traveling-can containing the food on to the carrier. I rolled the bicycle the short distance from the house to the road while Edna in a green-and red dress walked beside me. Mounting the vehicle with the can on the back and Edna on the cross-bar proved a little tricky; but I am rather good with bicycles. I solved the problem by getting on the seat first and keeping the bicycle stationary with one foot resting firmly on the ground. Then Edna climbed on the bar sitting sideways; and I push off. The excitement of having her so close within my arms and the perfume of her hair in my nose would have proved overpowering if I’d had much time to consider it. I hadn’t. The road to the hospital turned out to be quite hilly, not steep but just enough to take the wind out of one; and, with the kind of passenger I had, I didn’t care to admit too readily(爽快地) to being tired. So I raced up all the little hillocks until my heart raged like a bonfire篝火 which was very stupid of me.
“You are very strong,” said Edna
“Why?” I said, or rather out of breath, in one enormous expiration(呼气) as I rounded the summit of yet another small hill.
“You are eating all the hills like yam山芋”.
“I haven’t seen any hill yet,” I replied, getting back some of my breath as I pedalled freely down the small, friendly descent下坡 that followed. These words were hardly out of my mouth when a stupid sheep and her four or five lambs rushed out of the roadside on my left. I braked sharply. Unfortunately Edna’s back was resting on my left arm and prevented me applying the brake on that side effectively. So only the brake on the front wheel performed fully. The bicycle pitched直冲 forward and crashed on the road. She was thrown farther up the road and as soon as I got up, I rushed to help her to her feet again. Without taking my eyes from the food I murmured that I was very sorry.
“It was not your fault.” she said, “It was the stupid sheep.”
Then I noticed with the corner of my eyes that she bending down. I turned then and saw where she had grazed擦伤 her knee on the road.
“Oh dear” I said, “Edna, I am sorry.”
She left her frock长袍 which she had held up a little at the knee and came to dust my shoulder where my new white shirt carried a thick patch of indelible洗不掉的 red-earth. Then she bent down and picked up the travelling-can and began to wipe away the sand, and the spilt soup with green leaves. To my surprise she was crying and saying something like “My mother will die of hunger today”. Actually I think her crying was probably due to hurt pride because the food lying on the road showed how poor her family was. But I may be wrong. At the time, however, I was greatly upset.
“Can she manage bread and corned beef?” I asked. “We could buy some outside the hospital.”
“I haven’t brought any money,” said Edna.
“I have some money,” I said, feeling the first breath of relief since the accident happened. “And we could get some disinfectant消毒剂 for your knee. I’m terribly sorry, my dear.”
69. We can infer that, at the beginning of the passage, the writer had just _________.
A. offered to marry Edna B. lied to her
C. offered to take some food to her mother in hospital
D. offered to give Edna a lift to visit her mother in hospital
70. The way the writer rode his bicycle over the hills shows that __________.
A. he was very strong B. Edna was so attractive that he couldn’t concentrate
C. he wanted to impress Edna D. he was not very observant
71. The accident could probably have been avoided after the sheep and lambs had rushed out into the road if _________.
A. he had not braked sharply B. both brakes had worked properly
C. he had not been so busy admiring Edna
D. he had looked when he was going
72. What was the main reason for Edna feeling upset?
A. She had hurt her knee
B. She thought that her mother would have to go hungry that day
C. The food lying on the road showed him how poor her family was
D. We cannot be sure
73. It is implied that the author’s chief feeling after the accident was of _________.
A. sorrow because of the spoilt food B. guilt because of Edna’s grazed knee
C. concern about what she might think of him D. anger at the stupid sheep

Dear Helpful,
I’m a Senior Three students and I’m in trouble. I used to like English, but now I have some difficulty in English, especially in English writing. Though I know English is a very important subject, I think now it is too difficult for me. You know I have got poor results in English many times because my writing is poor. I wonder why so many students like English and can get good results in English. I do want to be one of the best students and go to a famous university after graduation. But by English is not good enough. What should I do?
