21、l economic order with the launching of the World Trade Organization. The WTO, which succeeds, the GATT, is expected to strengthen the world trading system and to be more effective than the GATT in governing international trade in goods and services in many ways.First, worldwide trade liberalization
22、is expected to increase via the dramatic reductions in trade barriers to which the members of the WTO are committed. Under the WTO, members are required to reduce their tariff and non-tariffs on manufacturing goods. In addition, protecting domestic agricultural sectors from foreign competition will
23、become extremely difficult in the new WTO system.Second, rules and regulations governing international trade will be more strongly enforced. Under the old system of the GATT, there were many cases where trade measures, such as anti-dumping and countervailing duties, were intentionally used solely fo
24、r protectionist reasons. The WTOs strengthened rules and regulations will significantly reduce the abuse of such trade measures by its member countries. The WTO is also equipped with an improved dispute settlement mechanism. Accordingly, we expect to see a more effective resolution of trade disputes
25、 among the member countries in this new trade environment.Third, new multilateral rules have been established to cover areas which the GATF did not address, such as international trade in services and the protection of intellectual property rights. There still are a number of problems that need to b
26、e resolved before international trade in services can be completely liberalized, and newly developed ideas or technologies are fairly compensated. However, just the establishment of multilateral rules in these new areas is a significant contribution to the progress toward a global free trade system.
27、Along with the launching of the WTO, this new era in world trade is characterized by a change in the structure of the world economy. Today, a world-wide market for goods and services is rapidly replacing a world economy composed of relatively isolated national markets. Domestic financial markets hav
28、e been integrated into a truly global system, and the multinational corporation is becoming a principal mechanism for allocating investment capital and determining the location of production sites throughout much of the world.（分数：5.00）(1).Between WTO and GATT（分数：1.00）A.WTO and GATF govern the intern
29、ational trade at the same time.B.WTO is the pre-existence of GATT.C.GATT is the pre-existence of WTO.D.GATT is more effective than WTO in some aspects.(2).According to this passage, under the WTO,（分数：1.00）A.measures of anti-dumping and countervailing were solely used for protectionist reason.B.it is
30、 still easy to protect domestic agricultural sectors from foreign competition.C.the people can enjoy better life.D.members should reduce their tariff and non-tariff on products.(3).Which of the following is NOT true about the WTO?（分数：1.00）A.WTO has made good preparation for liberalization of interna
31、tional trade in service.B.WTO ensures effective settlement of trade dispute.C.Under WTO, regulations concerning international trade can be more strongly enforced.D.WTO covers the issue of intellectual property rights.(4).It can be inferred form this passage that（分数：1.00）A.under GATT some measures ca
32、n not be effectively enforced.B.under GATT, the intellectual property right cannot be properly protected.C.it is not easy for a country to become a member of WTO.D.WTO cannot change the structure of world economy totally.(5).Which can be the best title for the passage?（分数：1.00）A.The Launching of WTO
33、.B.The Influence on WTO.C.The Superiority of WTO over Gatt.D.The Influence Caused by WTO.BText 2/BInterest is steadily spreading from a minority of enthusiasts in developing renewable sources of energy-wind, wave and solar power, tidal and geothermal energy. Additional support for them has come with
34、 a proposal to explore the untapped sources of hydro-electric power in Scotland.The details are provided by Mr. William Manser in a study provided for an expert committee to look at the developments possible for hydro-electric sites and, more important, for means of financing them.There is a clear i
35、ndustrial connection in Mr. Mansers study because it was done for the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors; hydro-electric schemes, by definition, have a large civil engineering component in them. Mr. Manser estimates that wind power could theoretically provide more than 7 percent of electric
36、ity supply in the United Kingdom, provided suitable sites for generators could be found. However, the practical viability of wind power generation is not likely to be understood until 1990.Other developments using renewable energy sources are also at an early stage as far as their commercial possibi
37、lities are concerned, he believe.The best developed and most suitable form of renewable energy is, in his view, hydro power. The technology has been developed over centuries and is still progressing. At present it is the cheapest form of electricity generation.Mr. Manser studied past surveys of the
38、north of Scotland and identified several as suitable for hydro-electric generation. Those are in the remote areas, usually of great natural beauty.But Mr. Manser says a well-designed dam can be impressive in itself. It is also possible to make installation as unobtrusive as possible, to the point of
39、 burying parts of them. Hydro generation involves no water pollution, smoke creation or unsightly stocking-out yards.The main trouble, which appears from his report, is financing an undertaking which has a heavy initial capital cost, and very low running costs.However, Mr. Manser does not see that a
40、s an unfamiliar position for the electricity industry. He cites the proposed construction of the new nuclear power station at Sizewell in Suffolk, which will have a high initial capital cost.The argument at Sizewell that the reason for the expenditure is that the capital will provide a benefit in lo
41、wer costs and higher returns in the long-term, applies equally to hydro-electric generation.（分数：5.00）(1).Tile main subject of this passage is the（分数：1.00）A.conservation of energy.B.high costs of energy sources.C.recycling of resources.D.energy generated by water power.(2).From the passage we underst
42、and that Mr. Mansers study was（分数：1.00）A.presented by a financial committee.B.part of a civil engineering contract.C.commissioned by a professional organization.D.written in conjunction with an expert committee.(3).What drawback is there to the provision of wind power generation?（分数：1.00）A.The suppl
43、y method is not yet understood.B.Its a non-viable proposition.C.There is a lack of suitable sites.D.Theoretical application is still needed.(4).The advantage of hydro-electric power is that it（分数：1.00）A.does not damage the environment.B.is relatively easy to install.C.requires little or no maintenan
44、ce.D.is more suitable for remote areas.(5).In Mr. Mansers opinion, the main stumbling block to the development of hydro-electric power is the（分数：1.00）A.capital outlay.B.running cost.C.public expenditure.D.financing risk.BText 3/BSteve Courtney wrote historical novels. Not, he was quick to explain, o
45、ver-colourful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so many women writers, but novels set, and correctly set, in historical periods. Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women. He had studied at university,
46、 but he had been a particularly good student, and he had never afterwards let any academic knowledge he had gained interfere with his writing.Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husbands ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him that she was not his
47、torically minded.Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship with Steve would work at all in the village of Stretton, to which they had just moved. It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice. But she wondered whether Steve would not, before very lon
