The 32 link between the nations and people of the world is called globalization. It is a 33 that has changed ways of life around the world.Perhaps the biggest change in this process is the effect of globalization on merce. In an effort to build a 34 economy, most nations of the world have embraced (拥抱) free trade. Free trade removes certain limits imposed (强加) on global merce to make it easier for nations to exchange goods with one another. A 35 aim of this process is to aid poor nations and thus reduce 36. Globalization has indeed increased trade throughout the world, but experts disagree about its effect on the poor. k*s5uThe debate about recent trends in global merce is plex. Those 37 free trade in the global market point out that petition lowers prices. Its critics argue that, without controls, such a system often harms poor nations. To some extent, both are 38. For example, in Jamaica, a country which imported milk from the United States and the 39 milk was cheaper than local milk, more poor people could drink milk and improve their nutrition. At the same time, the cheaper milk put 40 dairy farmers out of business. Perhaps this program caused as much harm as 41 .Those who support free trade in the global market do so for a number of reasons. Studies show that when a poor nation begins trading on the global level, it gains certain 42. Its economy grows rapidly. Multinational panies set up factories, 43 jobs for people. Supporters claim that these factors reduce poverty and lessen the gap between the richest and poorest nations. They believe that the globalizing trend benefits the poor.Critics of unrestricted free trade question these conclusions. Although they 44 that the global market can offer growth and jobs to poor nations, they doubt that it reduces poverty. In fact, they cite (引述) studies which show that poverty has increased as a result of the global market. 45_, the gap between rich and poor nations is growing.Regardless of which side they are on, most experts believe that globalization has great potential to aid the poor. Both sides need to find a way to make it work.31. A. In conclusion B. In particular C. As a result D. On the contrary32. A. growing B. starting C. moving D. reducing33.

On average 阅读（满分45分）第一节： 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)AAmericans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? k*s5uAmong the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes. People have bee conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical good points. For example, they are often more fortable and more lasting than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.46. What surprises us is that Americans _.A. still judge a man by his clothes B. think highly of uniformsC. prefer wearing civilian clothes D. respect a life operator in uniflorm47. People are likely to think that a man in uniform _.A. suggests the quality of his work B. shows his social positionC. appears to be more practical D. looks fresher and more attractive48. Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms _.A. are usually helplessB. have little freedomC. lose personal charactersD. enjoy less popularity49. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. people generally trust a person in uniformB. people enjoy wearing fortable uniformsC. the cost of the uniform is acceptableD. people wear uniforms to show their skills50. The underlined sentence tells us that _.A. its impossible for people with jobs to lose their identityB. peoples identity can be recognized more easily by their uniformsC. nurses and policemen must wear uniforms when workingD. people in some professions act in an easier way without uniformsBStephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942. He is known for his contributions to the fields of cosmology (宇宙学) and quantum gravity（量子重力）, especially in the context of black holes. He experienced extreme difficulties and obstacles in his life, which only made him stronger. Finally he contributed much to the careers he devoted to and became one of the most famous scientists in the world.Hawking was outstanding in his school life. After a successful period of education at St. Albans School, the entrance of Oxford opened to him. In March 1959, at the age of 17, Hawking took the scholarship examination with the aim of studying natural sciences at Oxford. Then Hawking went to Cambridge to do research in cosmology.When Stephen Hawking was dreaming about his future, he faced extreme difficulties and obstacles. Symptoms of disorder first appeared while he was enrolled at Cambridge; he lost his balance and fell down a flight of stairs, hitting his head. The diagnosis (诊断) of motor neuron （运动神经元）disease came when Hawking was 21, shortly before his first marriage, and doctors said he would not survive more than two or three years. Hawking gradually lost the use of his arms, legs, and voice, and is now almost pletely paralyzed（瘫痪）.Despite his disease, he describes himself as lucky - not only has time to make influential discoveries, but also has, in his own words, a very attractive family.As someone has said, when we meet frustration, someone fights, someone cries, someone escapes, someone tries.

Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend. And I missed our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered was a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones（煎饼） and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every day. I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words Tea Leaves caught my eye. A tea room? Here, in the land of loneliness and pain?I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely.I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones.It felt silly and wonderful - and it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home. I would e back here and bring new friends.

The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different processs. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerres process. Travellers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved. Now photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States, where from the 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life-like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film readymade in rolls. So they did not have to make the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later, meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favourite places. They called these pictures snapshots.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings.Photography had turned into a form of art by the beginning of the 20th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.61.
