| 第2、3、4、5、6题：Disagreements among economists are legendary, but not on the issue of free trade. A recent survey of prominent economists-both conservative and liberal-concluded that "an economist who argues for restricting international trade is almost as common today as a physician who favors leeching." Why the consensus? International free trade, economists agree, makes possible higher standards of living all over the globe. The case for free trade rests largely on this principle: as long as trade is voluntary, both partners benefit; otherwise they wouldn't trade. The buyer of a shirt, for example, values the shirt more than the money spent, while the seller values the money more. Both are better off because of the sale. Moreover, it doesn't matter whether the shirt salesman is from the United States or Hong Kong or anywhere else). The vast majority of American manufactures face international competition. This competition forces companies to improve quality and cut costs. By contrast, protectionism encourages monopoly, lower quality and higher prices. Americans pay an enormous price for protectionism -- over '60 billion a year, or ' 1000 for a family of four. Thanks to protectionism, for example, American consumers pay twice the world price for sugar. Free trade also makes the world economy more efficient, by allowing nations to capitalize on their strengths. The United States has an advantage in food production, for instance, while Saudi Arabia has an advantage in oil. The Saudis could undertake massive irrigation to become self-sufficient in food, but it is more economical for them to sell oil and purchase food from us. Similarly, we could become self-sufficient in petroleum by squeezing more out of oil sale. But it is much less costly to buy some of our oil from Saudi Arabia. Trade between our two countries improves the standard of living in both. Protectionism is both wasteful and unjust. It taxes most heavily on the people who can least afford it. Thus, tariffs that raise the price of shoes burden the poor more than the rich. Despite the powerful case for free trade, the United States and the rest of the world have always been protectionist to some degree. This is because free trade benefits the general public, while protectionism benefits special-interest groups, which are better organized, better financed and more informed. To make matters worse, much of what we hear on this issue is misinformation spread by the special interests themselves. 31. The economists _______. A. disagree whether to restrict free trade or not B. agree on free trade C. agree on the restriction if internal trade D. hold different arguments because to their different interests 32. The two parties in a free trade ________. A. do not care at all B. care for different things C. care for the things being traded D. care for the same things 33. What is the author's attitude toward protectionism denoted from the 5th paragraph? A. Sincere B. Appreciative C. Grateful D. Ironic 34. Why has protectionism always been exercised if it is wasteful and unjust? Because ________. A. it helps to establish national industry of one's own B. it can achieve an independent economy C. it is favored by general public D. it benefits some privileged few 35. According to the free trade principle, the author suggests that ______. A. U.S. explore its oil shale B. Saudi Arabia build its own industry C. Saudi Arabia import food from U.S. D. U.S. becomes more self-sufficient in food |

| 第12、13、14、15、16题：The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal,the younger son of the Partuguese king and an English princess. Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century.As a boy he became devoted to the sea,and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them.In 1416,when he was twentytwo,Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him—Jewish astronomers,Italian and Spanish sailors,and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it. Henry's goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to hug the shore.The caravel carried more sail and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made,yet was tough enough to withstand gales at sea.He also developed the carrack,which was a slower ship,but one that was capable of carrying more cargo. To Prince Henry the world owes credit for development of craft that made oceanic exploration possible.He lives in history as Henry the Navigator. 36. Henry the Navigator was a member of the royal family of____. A.England B.Spain C.Italy D.Portugal 37. Prince Henry started his school for the purpose of____.

Prince Henry's goal was to design vessels that could____. A.make long deepsea voyages B.travel faster than those in use at that time C.explore the coastline of Portugal D.carry larger crews and more cargo than existing one 40.
