Ⅲ.　阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30)

The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled.

In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Money Fund.

The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 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 Uruguay Round finally give birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property.

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 services, which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000. The WTO, with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.

36. From the passage we know that the GATT stopped working ________.

A. soon after World War II ended 

B. a little more than 50 years after World War II

C. just in the year 1994         

D. seven years before the Uruguay Round talk

37. Compared with the GATT, the WTO _______.

A. didn’t pay enough attention to services and intellectual property

B. got its members to sign the agreements more easily

C. has got to many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectively

D. can do better to settle disputes in more areas of international trade

38. In the new century the WTO will ________.

A. take the place of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund

B. have more members and settle more problems

C. make complete new rules in every area of international trade

D. have new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property

       Communicating effectively means more than knowing what to say and when to say it. Communication involves the subtle signals your body language sends to those who are watching. Here are some common body actions and the impressions they create:

● Fiddling (好动) — Playing with your watch or a pen looks like you’re bored or impatient.

● Clock watching — It looks like you’re to move on to something else.

● Tapping  — Tapping your feet or fingers suggests you are impatient or nervous.

● Staring — An unblinking (不眨眼的) stare conveys threatening or violent behaviour.

● Legs crossed or body hunched (弓背，耸肩)  — Closing up your body profile — becoming smaller — looks like you lack confidence.

● Arms crossed  — If you keep your arms folded during communication, you appear to be defending yourself against the others.

● Touching your face  — When you have your hand in front of your mouth, you appear very shy.

● Rubbing your nose, looking away  — People who are lying often rub their nose or look away when speaking.

● No eye contact  — If you won’t look the other speaker in the eye, you seem to have low interest or a lack of confidence. (Don’t forget staring above.)

       How you communicate with your body language is just as important as what you say. Watch your body language and control the unconscious messages you might be sending.

   A. knowing what to say

A.                      B.       

C.                D.   

70. If you want to show confidence when communicating, you should ______.

   A. cross your legs or hunch your body               

   B. avoid direct eye contact

   C. look the other speaker in the eye   

   D. keep touching your face

Dear Helpful,

I’m a middle school student and I’m in trouble. I used to like English, but now I have some difficulty in English, especially in English writing. Though I know English is a very important subject, I think now it is too difficult for me. You know I have got poor results in English tests many times because my writing is poor. I wonder why so many students like English and can get good results in English tests. I do want to be one of the best students and go to a famous university after graduation.
