27、d, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold. Mobility of this kind means also mobility of idea

28、s, their transference across frontiers, their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues; one presumes that only eccentrics have an interest in being credited with a startling discovery, or a new technique. It must a

29、lso have been reassured to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect. In the twentieth century, and particularly in the last twenty y

30、ears, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the aeroplane, making contact between scholars even in most distant places immediately feasible, and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge. Apart

31、from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention: there are far more centers of learning, and a far greater number of scholars and students.

32、 In addition, one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some is

33、olation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries. 31 It can be concluded from the passage that “academic mobility“_. （ A） means the friendship formed by scholars on the trip （ B） is a program initiated by governments （ C） has been put great emphasis on i

34、n the world （ D） means going abroad in search of the best teacher 32 The word “eccentric“ in the second paragraph most probably means （ A） a rather strange person （ B） a person of no exceptional ability （ C） an ambitious person （ D） peculiar or unusual 33 In the eyes of the author, what happens to a

35、 scholar who shares his ideas with his colleagues?_. （ A） He risks his ideas being stolen. （ B） He gains recognition for his achievement. （ C） He is considered as an eccentric. （ D） He is credited with a startling discovery. 34 According to the passage, the recent growth in air travel has meant that

36、_. （ A） travel around the world becomes realistic and affordable （ B） more students from remote areas can attend universities （ C） all kinds of information can be shared by more people （ D） scholars can meet each other more easily 35 The author thinks that its important for scholars to be able to tr

37、avel because （ A） their laboratories are in remote places （ B） there is too much stress at universities （ C） their fellow experts are scattered around the world （ D） there are so many people working in similar fields 35 For the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from

38、globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are ever more likely than their rich country counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain. Orthodox economics takes an optimistic line on integration and th

39、e developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by add

40、ing capital to labor have already been used up. If pool countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes: rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital. If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment, it will supplement domestic

41、 savings and loosen the financial constraint on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. I

42、n either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labor and partly by making labor more productive. This why workers in FDI receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI sending countries. Al

43、so, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same static and dynamic gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gain from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The b

44、enefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these transactions, sides exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers

45、can gain. 36 According to the passage, who may be reasonably afraid of the globalization? （ A） Workers in rich countries. （ B） Workers in poor countries. （ C） Both of them. （ D） None of them. 37 The phrase “take an optimistic line on“ in the second paragraph probably means to_. （ A） take the same si

46、de with （ B） hold the optimistic idea about （ C） stand at the same line with （ D） stand in the opposite line with 38 What can be the ultimate result of the inflow of the resources? （ A） It will supplement domestic savings. （ B） It will loosen the financial constraint. （ C） It will push incomes up. （

47、 D） It will bring technology and skills from abroad. 39 Which of the following statements is correct? （ A） A rich country gets benefits through trade at the expense of its poor country trading partners. （ B） A poor country gets benefits through trade at the expense of its rich country trading partne

48、rs. （ C） In trade, one side or the other must lose because the benefits must come from somewhere. （ D） In trade, it is possible for every part involved winning at the expense of nobody. 40 Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage? （ A） Benefited or Hurt. （ B） Who Benefits the Most. （

49、 C） Grinding the Poor. （ D） The Inflow of Resources. 40 Biosphere II was a spectacular failure. The gleaming glass-and-concrete habitat sprawling across the desert in Oracle, Arizona, was supposed to support eight human “biospheri-ans“ for two years, but the seal has to be broken before the experiment ended in 1993.
