    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　　The World Trade Organization（WTO）, established on January 1, 1995, is an open, non-discriminatory trading system. As a successor to the GATT, established in the wake of the Second World War, it is to help world's trade flow freely, fairly and predictably.

    　　While the WTO is still young, the multilateral（多边的）trading system that was originally set up under GATT is already 50 years old. The system celebrated its golden jubilee（50周年纪念）in Geneva on 19 May, 1998, with many heads of states and government leaders attending.

    　　The past 50 years have seen an exceptional（罕见的）growth in the world trade. Merchandise exports grew on average by 6％ annually（每年地）. Total trade in the WTO has helped to create a strong and prosperous trading system contributing to unprecedented growth.

    　　China was an original member of GATT, but for historical and political reasons it was withdrawn from GATT by the government in Taibei in 1950. But over the last several years, China hopes to be seeking to resume（恢复）its contracting party status. China has become a member of the WTO before the body starts a new round of negotiations（谈判）late this year. Premier Zhu Rongji paid a nineday US visit from April 6, 1999. He is the first Chinese Premier to visit US. President Clinton agreed to have talks on China's entry into the WTO with a new round of negotiations in Beijing.

    　　Now China has joined the WTO. China's entry into the WTO is not only of economical but also of political importance. China has made attracting progress since its reform and opening up to the outside world. It is growing more and more powerful in economy. China cannot be without the world just as the world cannot be without China. The entry of China into WTO will further strengthen the comprehensive national power of China; it can also quicken the economic development of the world.

    　　　　A. ordinary　　　　B. fair　　　　　 C. special　　　　　D. safety

    　　Anchors on China Central Television (CCTV) will need to do some fast talking to replace the popular English acronyms(首字母缩略词) they’re now banned from using．Shanghai Daily reports that“anchors at China Central Television [CCTV]have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA, CBA, GDP, and the like in their programs．”

    　　The replacement for those handy acronyms?Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name, standardized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television．

    　　Although CCTV (oops, we mean China Central Television) presenters must already have a score of at least 94 in their government-rated oral Mandarin proficiency exam, saying the full name of organizations like the CBA or WTO－10 and 6 character’s long separately－is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors．CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily,“A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips．It is a little trouble but a necessary one because not every audience member can understand the initials．”

    　　Although the government isn’t giving any official explanation for the shift, it is believed to have to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi, director of the China International Publishing Group, at March’s NPC meeting．In his speech, Huang said,“With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English, measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese．If we don’t pay attention and don’t take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English, Chinese won’t be a pure language in a couple of years．”

    　　Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages (the French and Quebecois beat them to it by a long way), acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting a language, we would think．Good luck to the CCTV anchors．
