23、TO has become well known as one of the worlds 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 T

24、rade (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 b

25、irth 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 serv

26、ices, 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.

The word “drawbacks” probably means _.A. weak pointsB. changesC. advantagesD. improvementsBLeft-handers Are EqualMUNICH-Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci were in the club; Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are also among its most famous members.Lef

30、t-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

31、 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 provi

32、de 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 shes heard. “Left-handed peo

33、ple die nine years earlier than right-handers” is one rumourSattler 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 control

34、led 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 describ

35、ed 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 h

36、and 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-hande

37、rsB. artists in the world are all left-handersC. famous people all over the world are members in this special clubD. some famous people may be left-handers61.

According to Sattlers opinion, changing writing hands is _-.A. reasonableB. interestingC. scientificD. unnecessary63. It shows in this passage that lef

40、ir teachersC. Left-handers at German schools feel disappointedD. Left-handers at German schools find no trouble using anythingCThe Attack on September 11thNew 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 dam

41、age 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 fl

42、oor 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

43、 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.Som

44、e 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 sout

45、h 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 situ

46、ation 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 dont know what happened to them,” Mr. Jacobs said.65.

48、e would have died if _. A. more announcements had been madeB. people hadnt used the lifts C. the incident had happened on a weekendD. the people had obeyed the office rulesDI hitched(钩住) the traveling-can containing the food on to the carrier. I rolled the bicycle the short distance from the house t

49、o 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 rest

50、ing 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 Id had much time to consider it. I hadnt. The road to the hospital turned out to be q

51、uite hilly, not steep but just enough to take the wind out of one; and, with the kind of passenger I had, I didnt 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“Wh

52、y?” 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 havent seen any hill yet,” I replied, getting back some of my breath as I pedalled freely down the small, friendly descent下坡 that followe

53、d. 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 Ednas 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 pe

54、rformed 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.

55、”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”. Actual
