22、 markets control national economies need only look at the crisis facing the “tigers“ of the Far East. Last year, the value of their currencies dropped rapidly, after investors decided that their economic policies were not strong enough; now the region is suffering slower growth, lower living standar
23、ds and rising unemployment.The situation in Asia shows how power has shifted from individual governments to the markets. In theory, governments are free to set their own economic policies; in practice, they must conform to a global economic model or risk being penalized by the markets.Adjusting to t
24、his new “economic order“ is proving difficult, in the developed world, and in particular the European Union, globalization is facing widespread public resistance. Critics complain that, without the protection of trade barriers, jobs are being lost to workers in poorer countries, and wages for employ
25、ees in rich countries are falling. Opponents in the European Union point to the effects that globalization has had in the U.S. and Britain. In those countries, wages are stagnant-except for a few privileged-and taxes and welfare benefits have been reduced to help companies compete with industries in
26、 the developing world.Those in favor of globalization accuse their critics of being shortsighted protectionists. They claim that a more integrated global economy will ultimately benefit everyone because it will enable countries to specialize in those areas where they perform best. Developing countri
27、es, with their higher populations and lower wages, will concentrate on labor-intensive industries. The richer countries, on the other hand, will diversify into high-tech industries, where high productivity and specialist knowledge are paramount. The effect of this will be to improve productivity in
28、all countries, leading to higher living standards. The free movement of capital will also help poorer countries develop so that they can play a full and active role in the world economy.But how close are we to a truly global economy? For those in favor of globalization, probably too close. But in te
29、rms of real economic integration, there are still many problems to be solved. A global economy would mean complete freedom of movement of goods and services, capital, and labor. Yet, even ignoring the tariffs and other restrictions still in place, cross-border trade remains tiny as compared with the
30、 volume of goods and services traded within countries; foreign investment is also extremely small, amounting to little more than five percent of the developed worlds domestic investments.But what is really holding globalization back is the lack of labor mobility. Labor markets remain overwhelmingly
31、national, even in areas like the European Union, where citizens can live and work in any EU country. The main reasons for this are language and cultural barriers; the lack of internationally recognized qualifications; and, in some cases, strict immigration controls.（分数：10.00）(1).The main reason why
32、some Asian countries are suffering from economic depression is that they _. A. doubt that global financial markets will control national economies B. fail to follow a global economic model adequately C. have set their own free economic policies D. have their power interfere with the markets（分数：2.00）
33、A.B.C.D.(2).The main opposition to globalization is that _. A. taxes and welfare in the developed countries are reduced without protection of trade barriers B. there are too great economic differences between rich and poor countries C. globalization is beneficial to the developing countries only D.
34、high productivity and specialist knowledge are not suitable to labor-intensive industries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What does the sentence “wages are stagnant“ (Paragraph 3) most probably mean? A. Wages stop rising. B. Wages are so high that there is no need to rise. C. There is a pause in wages, but they
35、 will soon rise. D. Wages begin to fall.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The word “paramount“ (Paragraph 4) may be replaced by _. A. vital B. more important C. less important D. similar（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The author suggests in the passage that in order to realize a truly global economy, great efforts should b
36、e made in all the following aspects EXCEPT _. A. elimination of language and cultural barriers B. permission of free labor mobility C. increase in the volume of goods and services traded beyond border D. reduction of tariffs and loosening of other restrictions（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、BPassage Two/B(总题数：1，
37、分数：10.00)Global energy demand is expected to triple by mid-century. The earth is unlikely to run out of fossil fuels by then, given its vast reserves of coal, but it seems unthinkable that we will continue to use them as we do now. Its not just a question of supply and price, or even of the disease
38、caused by filthy air. The terrorist assault on the World Trade Center raises other scary scenarios: how much easier would it be to crack open the Trans-Alaska pipeline and how much deadlier would it be to bomb a nuclear plant than to attack a wind arm?Skeptics may recall the burst of enthusiasm for
39、conservation and renewable power when oil prices quadrupled in the 1970s. State-funded energy research and development surged, while tax incentives boosted solar, wind and other alternatives to petroleum and the atom. But when oil supplies loosened and prices dropped in the early 1990s, governments
40、lost interest. In the state of California, subsidies evaporated, pushing wind companies into bankruptcy.Clean energy has long way to go. Only 2.2% of the worlds energy comes from “new“ renewables such as small hydroelectric dams, wind, solar and geothermal. How to boost that share-and at what pace-i
41、s debated in industrialized nations-from Japan, which imports 99.7 % of its oil, to Germany, where the nearby Chernobyl accident turned the public against nuclear plants, to the U.S., where the Bush Administration has strong ties to the oil industry. But the momentum toward clean renewables is unden
42、iable. How soon we reach an era of clean, inexhaustible energy depends on technology. Solar and wind energies are intermittent: When the sky is cloudy or the breeze dies down, fossil fuel or nuclear plants must kick into compensate. But scientists are working on better ways to store electricity from
43、 renewable sources.While developed nations debate how to fuel their power plants, however, some 1.6 billion people-a quarter of the globes population-have no access to electricity or gasoline. Many spend their days collecting firewood and cow dung, burning it in primitive stoves that belch smoke int
44、o their lungs. To emerge from poverty, they need modern energy. And renewables can help. From village-scale hydropower to household photovoltaic systems to bio-gas stoves that convert dung into fuel.Ultimately, the earth can meet its energy needs without fouling the environment. “But it wont happen,
45、“ asserts Thomas Johansson, an energy adviser to the United Nations Development Program, “without political will.“ To begin with, widespread government subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energy must be dismantled to level the playing field for renewables. Moreover, government should pressure uti
46、lity to meet targets for renewable sources of energy.（分数：10.00）(1).The authors biggest worry about using nuclear energy is that _. A. it will do great harm to the inadequate reserves of coal B. it is deadly if terrorists attack a nuclear plant C. it will limit the development of many other alternati
47、ves D. there will be a wider gap between developed and developing countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The renewable energy research lost support from governments in the early 1990s because _. A. skeptics were becoming doubtful about the efficiency of renewables B. renewables could not meet the increasing energy needs of the society C. it was much eas
