Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is:Is economic globalization       for all?
According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce       in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth       to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes       at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.
Those who       globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.      , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in       open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.
Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually       the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually       from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.      , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to       their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of      . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to       and will be crowded out.
One thing is certain about globalization—there is no      . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The       now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.

解析试题分析:文章主要讲述的是市场开放,即全球化给人们带来的影响。文章中包含两种相反的观点,一种观点陈述的是全球化带来的好处,一种观点陈述的是全球化带来的问题,各有充足的论点和论据。文章最后,得出结论,全球化不可避免、无回头路可走,只有想办法找到一条最好的全球化的道路。
【小题1】考查形容词:possible意为可能 smooth 意为顺利的,光滑的,平稳的 good好的 easy简单的。根据上一句的“increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market”逐渐地把世界经济转变为了一个自由流动的全球大市场。很明显这是讲的市场开放的好处,因此后面提出问题,“问题是,经济全球化对所有人都好吗(有好处吗)?”,故选择C项。
【小题2】考查名词:Crime犯罪 poverty贫困 conflict冲突 population人口,根据后文的“It quotes one study that shows increased wealth   52  to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries ”中的increased wealth增加的财富,可知,市场开放给这些国家带来了财富的增加,财富增加了,那么就是减少了贫困问题,即选择B项。

【小题4】考查动词:Remain 仍然 drop下降 shift变化 increase增加,根据上文中的It quotes one study that shows increased wealth   52  to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries可知,这24个国家的财富增加了,也就是说他们的收入增加了,即increase。句意为,这24个国家的人的收入增加了平均百分之五。因此选择D
【小题5】考查动词:doubt 怀疑; define 定义、规定、明确;advocate 提倡、拥护; ignore忽视,根据后面的 “economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses”发展中国家的经济会收益,源于小型的、家庭型生意获得的新机会,尤其是其中的“benefit from”可知,该观点的those人们是支持,提倡市场开放的,因此选择C项。
【小题6】考查词组:In addition意为此外,表递进关系。for instance意为例如。In other words换句话说,All in all总而言之。上一句讲到了小型的、家庭型的生意会获得等多的机会,该句讲的是他们具体是得到怎样的机会,因此属于具体说明、举例说明,故选择B 项

【小题8】考查动词:find找到;explore探索;bridge架桥、度过,widen 变宽;根据前面的“Critics take a different view”可知,该部分陈述的是反对市场开放的观点,因此他们认为市场开放会加大(widen)穷人和富人之间的差距。故选择D

【小题10】考查副词:furthermore意为,此外,表递进关系。Therefore意为因此,因果关系,however然而,转折关系 otherwise否则,转折关系根据下文的“globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses.”意为全球化会逐渐威胁到新兴企业。该观点与上面几句的观点类似,都是属于反对市场开放的,但是该观点与上面的加大贫富差距不一样,因此跟上一观点是递进关系,因此选择A项
【小题11】考查动词:Consume消耗、消费 deliver递送,发表,export 出口,advertise做广告根据上文中的“small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in   56  open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet”可知,当地人可以通过互联网把商品卖到世界各地,即向国外出口商品,句意为,例如,印度的手艺人目前看起来是从全球化中收益了,因为他们可以出口他们的商品,但是他们很快就会面对激烈的竞争,这可能会让他们破产。故选择C项。

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks       than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more       than we realize.

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守) person who is        only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous,          embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to     the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or     off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).
        , there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once     , makes the offender immediately the object of      .
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n)       to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it      . Some people argue that it is because the British weather     follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much      in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases,          to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate – as the weathermen in his      .
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references      weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are       by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?”       the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his      . If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is      to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n)       subject to which a response may well be     of even the most reserved of the British.

To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the     45  .
Some are the     46   ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct     47   about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how     48   if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising,     49  , you can print your products on T-shirts of your     50  . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more    51  .
More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to    52   a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask    53   about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re    54   effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public    55   that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance.    56  , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.
Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t    57   the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.
Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your    58  . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the    59    is based on previous positive experiences.

I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting.
First, family life is quite   1  in China. In the USA, many young people   2  home after they finish their education and start working. However, in China, it is   3  for people to live with their parents until they get married.   4 , many of my Chinese friends told me that their  5  lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children. It seems that Americans think independence is more important   6  the Chinese think family relationships are more important.
Bargaining is another   7  that I have tried to learn. In the USA, prices are   8  and you can’t ask for a lower price. However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are   9  to bargain. My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent   10  the original price. If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should   11  to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item. It is a skill that you have to   12  if you live in China.
Tipping hasn’t been easier to   13 . In the USA, many people in the service   14  want to get   15  money for serving customers. Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture.   16  I tried to tip a taxi driver. He looked a little   17  and refused to take the money.
In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their   18 . Actually, this is a   19  of true friendship and politeness. My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just   20  the food in the plate.

A man was bitterly envious of his neighbour.He spent long hours in prayer,wanting to be     to his neighbour in every aspect of life.
One night,God appeared before him in a dream and said,“I am pleased with your       .Ask for a gift     your neighbour will get the same gift in double amount.”
He was glad but sad that his enemy would get a greater gift.He requested,“God,      the sight in one of my eyes.”
With his single eye,he peeped at his neighbour but was     to see his neighbour's sight was not lost! Confused,he       to God,“Why don’t you keep your word?”
God said,“Son,I always keep my word.              is not a gift,but a curse.You have the gift of sight in only one eye now,as asked by you.But your neighbour has sight in both of his eyes.I       the gift.”
