For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my 6 was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next 7 I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my 8 , at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. 9 my teaching schedule had bee heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use.

As a result, people throughout the world have bee ever more connected. It is a trend 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 global economy, most nations of the world have willingly accepted free trade. Free trade removes certain limits added to global merce to make it easier for nations to exchange with one another. A further aim of this process is to aid poor nations and thus reduce poverty. Globalization has indeed increased trade throughout the world, but experts disagree about its effect on the poor.The debate about recent trends in global merce is plex. Those who support 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 correct. For example, Jamaica is a country which imported milk from the United States and because the imported milk was cheaper than local milk, more poor people could drink milk and improve their nutrition. At the same time, the cheaper milk put local dairy farmers out of business. In this sense, globalization caused as much harm as good.Those who support free trade in the globalization market do so for a number of reasons. Studies show that when a poor nation begins trading on the global level, it gains certain benefits. Its economy grows rapidly. Multinational panies set up factories, which provide jobs for people. Supporters claim that these reduce poverty and lessen the gap between the richest and poorest nations. They believe that the globalization trend benefits the poor.Critics of unrestricted free trade question these conclusions. Although they agree that the global market can offer growth and jobs to poor nations, they doubt that it reduces poverty. In fact, they cite (引用) studies that show that poverty has increased as a result of the global market. In addition, the gap between rich and poor nations is growing. Regardless of which side they are on, most experts believe that globalization has greatly potential to aid the poor. Both sides need to find a way to make it work.21. The growing link between the nations and people of the world is called _.A. diversityB. globalizationC. municationD. merce22. We can know that both sides of the debate agree that free trade _.A. has little potential to aid the poor countriesB. widens the gap between the rich and the poorC. makes it easier for nations to exchange goodsD. results in the rich countries economic collapse23. The author mentions Jamaica as an example to _.A. describe a sceneB. draw a conclusionC. introduce a topic D. support an argument24. A person who calls for increased rules in the globalization of economy is most likely to be _.A. the head of a large international panyB. a critic of free trade in the global marketC. a supporter of free trade in the global marketD. an exporter specialized in making dairy productsBI have only once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court.It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time.One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke.But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt.“But what for?” I asked.“Wandering with intent to mit an arrestable offence.” he said.What offence?” I asked.“Theft.” he said.“Theft of what?” I asked.Milk bottles, he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!“Oh,” I saidIt turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the sixties youth counterculture”. As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, How long have you been following me? in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable(品行不端的) character.A few minutes later a police car arrived.“Get in the back,” they said. “Put your hands on the back of the front seat and dont move them.”They got in on either side of me. It wasnt funny any more.At the police station they questioned me for several hours. I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation. When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them Id been looking for a job. “Aha,” I could see them thinking, unemployed”.Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates Court thefollowing Monday. Then they let me go.I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good lawyer. We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. But he was never called on to give evidence. My “trial” didnt get that far. The magistrate(法官）dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. The lawyer even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the right accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good lawyer. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had e from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my lawyers case quite obviously revolved (回转)around the fact that I had a “brilliant academic record.Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily plaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,” he said to me reproachfully (责备地).What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged and said something like, “Look here, do you know who youre talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me! Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way.25. From the passage, we can see that the first man who came up to him was _ .A. a uniformed policeman B. a good jokerC. a magistrate D. a policeman in plainclothes26. The court never asked the authors English teacher to give evidence because_ .A. the time for the trial was limited to fifteen minutes onlyB. the case was dismissed before the trial reached that stageC. the author wanted to conduct his own defense in courtD. he was found to be unqualified as a character witness27. The author believes that he would most probably have been declared guilty if_ .A. he had been bom in a lower-class family and out of workB. his English teacher had not appeared in the courtC. he had been rude to the policemenD. the magistrate had been less gentle28. In the opinion of one of the policeman who had arrested the author, the whole thing might not have occurred if _.A. he had begged to be allowed to go home B. he had protested strongly at the timeC. he hadnt wandered aimlessly D. he had tried to look cool29. The underlined word “outraged” in the last paragraph probably means .A. angry B. frightened C. pitiful D. proud限时43完形填空36-40: BADBC 41-45: ACDAB 46-50: CDABC 51-55: ADBDC阅读理解56-59: BCDB DBABA
