So Near and Yet So Far In many examinations, 90% is an excellent score, deserving a prize and a handshake from the headmaster. In Geneva this week, only full marks would do, and the world's trade ministers failed. No matter that they came closer to a deal than anyone should have expected. No matter that they stuck at it for nine days and several nights, in the longest ministerial meeting in the history of the World Trade Organization (WTO). No matter, too, that this time they parted in stunned disbelief, heads shaking, rather than in acrimony(刻 薄), quarrel and spite, as at Cancun in 2003. They managed "convergence" on 18 of the 20 topics set before them by Pascal Lamy, the WTO's director-general, but they stumbled on the 19th, a device for protecting farmers in developing countries against surges in imports. They never reached the 20th, cotton. Failed. You can construct a plausible argument that the collapse of yet another set of talks on the Doha round, which is now coming up to seven years old, is of little importance. While the world's trade ministers have alternated between talking and not talking to one another about Doha, the world's businesspeople have carried on regardless: the growth of global commerce has outstripped the hitherto (到前为止) healthy pace of global GDP. Developing countries in particular have continued to open up to imports and foreign investment. You might say that not much was on offer in Geneva anyway: one study put the eventual benefits at maybe $70 billion, a drop in the ocean of the world's GDP. Global stock markets, with so much else on their minds, either didn't notice or didn't care. On July 29th, the day the talks broke up, the S&P 500 index rose by 2.3%. Plausible, but wrong. For a start, the lowish estimates of the economic benefits of the round miss out two things. One is the value of the unpredictable dynamic benefits of more open markets. Access to more customers allows exporters to exploit economies of scale. Competition encourages not only specialization, the classic result of more open trade, but also increased productivity. The other is what you might call the" option value" of the Doha round. The WTO inhabits a sort of parallel universe in which countries negotiate not on what tariffs and subsidies will actually be, but on maximum (or" bound") rates and amounts. Although many countries have cut tariffs and farm. subsidies -- if only, in the latter case, because of rising food prices -- too few have turned these cuts into commitments. Tighter binding would cramp their ability to turn back to protection. It would have made up the bulk of a Doha deal. Do you care about the beans or the beings? Also on offer were benefits that are easier to visualize. Some cuts in bound tariffs would have bitten into actual rates. There would have been much less" tariff escalation(增加)" -- a nasty practice, by which higher tariffs are levied on successive stages of production. Raw coffee beans may be tariff-free, but roasted beans incur a higher levy, and so on as they are ground, getting rid of caffeine and so forth. Move up the value chain, and you pay. Some developing countries -- in Latin America, especially Brazil, and in Africa too -- are seething that a deal slipped away. Given all this, the inability of ministers to agree, having come so close, seems unfathomable(难解 ). Belief is all the more beggared when you look at the wider world. The global economy is slowing, possibly horribly: under such conditions, protectionism thrives. It would be silly to say that the sky is about to fall in: too much has been agreed in the past, and too many countries and businesses value an open trading system, to suppose that the 2010s will be a rerun of the 1930s. But trade has too few friends these days -- notably in America's Congress and the Elys6e Palace. Ministers picked a poor time to fail. The ultimate cause of failure only deepens the sense of puzzlement. When talks started, the likeliest deal-breaker seemed to be the ceiling on American farm subsidies, which is far higher than America actually spends. In the end, the deal fell over protection not for America's farmers but for those of the developing world: a "special safeguard mechanism", to kick in when imports surged. America wanted the trigger set high; India, joined by China, wanted it low. Both developing countries, it is said, also wanted to be able to jack tariffs up above existing ceilings, not merely those set in a Doha deal. After 60 hours of talk by Mr. Lamy's count, there was deadlock; and that was that. Meanwhile, believe it or not, food is pricier than ever. India's mountain ,America's molehill You could call this "a collective failure", as some ministers did. You could also be more specific. India's willingness to open its economy in reality is in lamentable contrast to its inability to commit itself at the WTO. Its stubbornness is explained by the ferocity of India's politics on this subject and the desperate, even suicidal, poverty of many of its farmers. But it and China must have known that they were asking too much. America has some answering to do, too. It seems to have misread the big story: in the WTO, rich countries no longer call the shots, as they did in its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. China and India, infuriating though they may be, are as powerful as America and the EU. The United States also fumbled with the details. It might have tied up a deal on cotton, and left the Chinese and Indians isolated on safeguards. And the ultimate stumbling-block, though a mountain to India, was surely a molehill to a country of America's wealth. America has 1 million farmers, India over 200 million. In the WTO, there is a saying: nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. But all the effort of nine days -- or seven years -- should not be lost. Mr. Lamy should publish what has been agreed so far. Ideally, the ministers would then meditate over the summer on what they have lost -- and he could then ask for a final push. That, alas, seems a vain hope. With American elections looming, India heading for the polls by next May and a new European Commission due late next year, it may be 2010 before much can be done. There is a risk that by then, as Peter Mandelson, the EU's trade commissioner, once put it," the caravans have moved on in different directions". The world will have to wait for a Doha deal, if it ever gets one. After coming so close, it should not have had to. 2、 The longest ministerial conference in the history of WTO lasts for ______.

Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2. It is hardly surprising that something called dark energy is hard to study. It is important, though. If it exists at all, it makes up about three-quarters of the stuff in the universe. And if it does not exist, then existing theories of physics will have to be useless. The latest evidence that dark energy really does exist was produced on December 16th by Alexey Vikhlinin, of the Smithsonian Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and his colleagues. They used an orbiting X-ray telescope called Chandra to study the way that groups of galaxies grow. They discovered that this growth is restrained in exactly the way that dark-energy theory predicts. The idea of dark energy was dreamed up ten years ago, to explain why the expansion of the universe that began with the Big Bang seems to be accelerating, rather than slowing down. That unexpected finding was the result of studies of supernovas (超新星) whose apparent brightness (and therefore distance) did not match the previous theory. Dark energy causes the acceleration by pushing space itself apart, altering the distances to the supernovas as it does so. Dark energy is also a convenient explanation for another curiosity. Geometrically, space is flat. For it to be held that way, rather than getting more and more curved over time, the amount of matter and energy it contains must be at a particular, critical density. Without the dark energy needed to explain the acceleration, the universe would have only a quarter of the necessary density. It is therefore a relief that Dr Vikhlinin's results agree with the theory: the pushing apart of space that dark energy causes makes it harder than it otherwise would be for galactic clusters(银河星团) to grow. This result does not bring physicists much closer to understanding what dark energy actually is. The favored explanation is the so-called universal constant -- an as-yet-unobserved consequence of the general theory of relativity. But that theory predicts a force far more powerful than the one actually seen. So the truth is that physicists are still in the dark. 48、 If by any chance there is no dark energy, theories of physics will be ______. 49、 Alexey Vikhlinin tried to study how clusters of galaxies grow by using ______. 50、 Where did the physicists get the fact that universe expansion is accelerating? 51、 In order to maintain the flatness of space, its substance and energy should be kept at a ______. 52、 As for dark energy, what is favored by the physicists to explain it? Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA.,B.,C. andD.. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One After the stock-market crash of October 1929 it took over three years for America's government to launch a series of dramatic efforts to end the Depression, starting with Roosevelt's declaration of a four-day bank holiday in March 1933. In-between, America saw the worst economic collapse in its history. Thousands of banks failed, a damaging deflation set in, output declined by a third and unemployment rose to 25%. The Depression brought enormous damage across the globe, but most of all on America's economy. As a result, the boundaries between government and markets were redrawn. During the past month, little more than a year after the financial storm first struck in August 2007, America's government made its most dramatic interventions in financial markets since the 1930s. At the time it was not even certain that the economy was in recession and unemployment stood at 6.1%. In two unstable weeks the Federal Reserve and the Treasury between them nationalized the country's two mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; took over AIG, the world's largest insurance company; in effect extended government deposit insurance to $ 3.4 trillion in money-market funds; temporarily banned short-selling in over 900 mostly financial stocks; and, most dramatic of all, sworn to take up to $700 billion of bad mortgage-related assets on to its books. The Fed and the Treasury were determined to prevent the kind of banking disaster that caused the Depression. Shellshocked lawmakers were picky, but Congress and the administration eventually agreed. The landscape of American finance has been radically changed. The independent investment bank -- a crucial Wall Street animal that relied on high leverage(杠杆作用) and wholesale funding -- is now all but disappear. Lehman Brothers has gone bust; Bear Steams and Merrill Lynch have been swallowed by commercial banks; and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley 'have become commercial banks themselves. The "shadow banking system" is transforming at lightning speed. And in little more than three weeks America's government, all told, expanded its gross liabilities(负债) by more than $1 trillion -- almost twice as much as the cost so far of the Iraq war. Beyond that, few things are certain. In late September the turmoil spread and intensified. Money markets seized up across the globe as banks refused to lend to each other. Five European banks failed and European governments fell over themselves to support their banking systems with rescues and guarantees. As this special report went to press, it was too soon to declare the crisis contained. 53、 What does the author tell us about the situation of 1929's Depression? A. A damaging inflation ensued after the bankruptcy of many banks. B. American economy resumed only after a series of efforts taken by government. C. Its damaging effect is the same on both the globe and America. D. The relationship between market and government was not tainted. 54、 What measures were taken by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury under present situation? A. The country's two mortgage giants were nationalized in two weeks. B. The short-selling in over 900 financial stocks was banned forever. C. Government deposit insurance was extended to $700 billion. D. About $700 billion poisonous assets related to mortgage was confiscated. 55、 What is Congress and the administration's attitude towards the Fed and the Treasury' actions? A. They think their actions are too dramatic for the situation. B. Being picky at first, they finally support their actions. C. They totally approve of the dramatic interventions for the experience of 1929. D. They think the banking catastrophe now is not a big deal. 56、 The great changes happening to American finance can be reflected by ______. A. the gradual transformation of shadow banking system B. the prosperity of independent investment bank Wall Street relies on C. the bankruptcy of Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch after being swallowed D. the conversion of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to commercial banks 57、 The last sentence of the passage means that ______. A. written on short notice, the report can hardly cover the entire crisis B. everything being unfixed and uncertain, this report can not include the entire crisis now C. this is only a special report, with no aim to contain the entire crisis D. this report may not be received by the press Passage Two On the shelves of the country's shops is the usual classification of toys, clothing, appliances and cookware. But over the past month the quality of many of the goods on offer has improved. In part this is because scandals over toxic paint have brought closer scrutiny from inspectors and hence less corner-cutting. But it is also partly because of falling demand for its goods from other countries, which has given its manufacturers and local government a big incentive to work around the country's exportpromotion policies and to sell at home. Its manufacturers are well aware that they operate in one of the few large markets that is still showing a pulse. Retail sales in October were up by 22% compared with the same month in 2007 -- a slight drop from 23.2% in September, but an impressive figure nonetheless. That certainly exaggerates the country's economic vigor, but it would be a stretch to believe that the country is in recession. As domestic consumption increases, its export-oriented manufacturers are under siege (围攻). Figures announced on December 10th showed that exports fell by a startling 2.2% in November, compared with a year earlier. Analysts had expected an increase of around 15%; it was the first fall in exports for seven years. The news followed a government survey, released on December 1st, that showed a sharp decline in the fortunes of export manufacturers, confirming lots of anecdotal evidence. Diverting goods intended for export to the domestic market makes sense for factory owners, who want their firms to survive, and for local officials, who wish to maintain order. As a result of pressure from its trading partners, these tax rebates (折 扣) on exports had been contracting. But in November a new stimulus plan was announced that increased the rebates on more than 3,000 items. Evidently its officials hope the country can once again export its way to higher growth, despite the financial troubles in its main markets. One solution is to route goods to the domestic market via a port city, so that they qualify as exports, but this takes time and money and strikes many operators as a huge waste of both. The sudden appearance of higher-quality goods suggests that officials are being less eager than usual in enforcing the export rules. Its consumers, for their part, must surely be pleased that they can buy better products at low prices. A year ago, the boom(繁荣) was expected to be the means of breaking down the divide between its domestic and export-led economies. But perhaps a bust is what was required. 58、 What has happened to the shelves of the country's shop over the past month? A. All the goods were classified into different categories. B. Toxic paint was forcibly taken out of shelves. C. The quality of goods has been greatly improved. D. There are fewer brands from the foreign countries. 59、 What can we learn about the situation now confronted by its manufacturers? A. They are facing mounting demand from partners in abroad market. B. Those mainly undertaking export business will also benefit a lot. C. They are quite clear with the surrounding environment situated in. D. They should bear in mind that its economy is in recession. 60、 In author's opinion, the sudden appearance of higher-quality goods suggests its officials ______. A. become more concerned about the quality and domestic market B. turn to other ways to stimulate and enforce export rules C. have to improve goods' quality for the qualification of exports D. want consumers to buy better products at low prices 61、 What happened to the export manufacturers according to the news on December 1st? A. The exports fell by 2.2% in November, quite a shock to them. B. They suffered the first fall in exports for seven years. C. Their fortunes underwent a steep fall attesting to some evidence. D. Their retail price experienced a slight drop but still an impressive figure. 62、 We can infer from the last paragraph that ______. A. its consumers can buy better product at lower price B. boom is expected by all countries under all situations C. recession may connect domestic and export-led economies D. the economy of a country needs both boom and bust Part ?

Women are quite often competent drivers, but they are very seldom consistently first class. At best they are a mild hazard, at 63 potentially lethal. A wise male driver will always give them plenty of roads and still be on the lookout for the 64 to happen. This 65 has nothing to do with their lack of ability to cope with the 66 complexities of the vehicles; it is due to an inherent 67 which, in certain other circumstances, may be highly desirable, 68 which, behind the wheel, is deadly. It is their 69 for talking. Women together in a car yield 70 this need and when they talk they look into each other's faces. Simple words are 71 It is necessary for them to see the expression which 72 the words and so read the meaning the words left unsaid. 73 two women in the front of a car repeatedly 74 each other's attention from the road, and four represent an incredible danger 75 the one nominally driving the car feels it necessary to see and hear not only what her companion is talking about but also, such is her 76 , what those in the back are discussing in case it is anything 77 which she can inject and add opinion, or in the hope of collecting fresh fuel to feed other fires on later 78 . Another factor is that women seldom use the driving mirror except for 79 purposes, after which its position gives the driver little 80 of the state of the road behind. A final important factor that seems to lie at the back of feminine attitudes to driving is that 81 few women have the feel for a machine that so many men have; the satisfaction of a slick change down means nothing to them. The coordination between the various maneuvers (机动), an operation 82 gives many men a boost of pride, is only a momentary lapse in their concentration on the topic in hand. 63、A. least B. most C. last D. worst 64、A. unavoidable B. unpredictable C. unreliable D. unacceptable 65、A. disability B. defect C. deficiency D. default 66、A. scientific B. mechanical C. technical D. technological 67、A. character B. trait C. characteristic D. specialty 68、A. so B. and C. then D. but 69、A. lust B. greediness C. longing D. ambition 70、A. in B. at C. to D. on 71、A. scarce B. deficient C. insufficient D. rare 72、A. partners B. surpasses C. underlies D. reveals 73、A.

Writing 1、[范文] Buying and Selling Stocks as a Student At present, there are many students engaged in buying and selling stocks. Some of them are equipped with updated device so as to get the latest information and seize golden chances for transaction. People's opinions vary on this issue. The reasons why some people oppose it are as follows. For one thing, students have to sacrifice their learning hours to focus on stocks, only to fail in exams. For another, students are too inexperienced to make wise investment. Some spend their tuition on stocks. If they fail, they will be under massive financial pressure. But then, supporters believe that stock exchange is a good way to improve students' ability to manage money as well as a precious chance to put theory into practice. To my mind, in a world of opportunities and challenges, the stock exchange should not be a forbidden place for college students.
