Winners and Losers
Why are the biggest winners in the past decade of trade globalization mostly in South and East Asia,whereas the biggest losers are mostly in the.former Soviet bloc(集团)and
sub—Saharan Africa? History is a partial guide:East Asia has a long trading tradition,lately reinvigorated(给以新旳活力)by the Chinese adoption of market economics.The Soviet Union,on the other hand,was sheltered from free—market forces for more than 70 years.In Africa,some countries are disadvantaged because of inadequate infrastructure(基础构造);many countries have little to trade but commodities,the prices of which have fallen in recent years.
In some regions,certain countries have suffered by adopting misguided policies,often
under pressure from International Monetary Fund.First among these is Russia.which in the
early 1990s tried to embrace capitalism before first building the institutions that make capitalism work,such as an independent bank system,a system of business law, and all adequate method for collecting taxes.Encouraged by the IMF the World Bank and the U.S.Department of the Treasury, President Boris Yeltsin’s regime privatized the state.owned industrial sector, creating a class of oligarchs(寡头政治集团组员),who,knowing how unstable conditions were at home.sent their money abroad instead of investing it at home.
In contrast,China,the biggest winner from globalization,did not follow the IMF formula.
Of the former states of the Soviet bloc,only a few,notably Poland and Hungary, managed to grow, which they did by ignoring IMF advice and adopting expansionary plans.including
spending more than they collected in taxes.Botswana and Uganda are also Success stories:
despite their disadvantages,their countries achieved vigorous growth by creating stable civil societies,liberalizing trade and implementing reforms that ran counter to IMF prescriptions.
16 Japan has a long trading tradition.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 Russia was wrongly guided by the IMF.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 All African countries followed the IMF formula.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
19 The Soviet Union was a capitalist country.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
20 Australia is one of the biggest winners from globalization.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
21 China did not take IMF advice.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
22 Many high officials in Russia have much benefited from privatization.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

Stanford University
1 Stanford University, famous as one of northern California’s several institutions of higher learning,is sometimes called “the Harvard of the West.” The closeness of Stanford to San Francisco,a city thirty-two miles to the north,gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan (世界性旳) flavor.
2 The students are enrolled mainly from the western United States.But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford,and many foreign students study here,as well.And standards for admission remain high.Young men and women are selected to enter the university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes.
3 Not only because of me high caliber(素质)of its students but also because of the desirable
location and climate,Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world’s most respected
scholars.The university staff has included many Nobel prize winners such as Dr.Felix Bloch,Dr.Robert Hofstadter, and Dr.William Shockley in physics.Dr.Author Kornberg and Dr.Joshua
Lederberg in medicine.and Dr.Paul J.Flory and Dr.Linus Pauling in chemistry.The Russian
novelist Aleksandr Solzhenistsyn has been in residence.Stanford’S undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business,law,and medicine are especially well-regarded.
4 What is student life like on “The Farm”? Culturally.the campus is a magnet for both
students and citizens of nearby communities.P1ays,concerts,and operas are performed in the university’s several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater, where graduations are also held.Several film series are presented during the school year.Guest lecturers from public and academic life frequently appear on campus.In the evenings,many students gather to socialize in the Student Union’s coffee house;here the beverages(饮料)and the atmosphere both have a decidedly European flavor.For the sports—minded,the Stanford campus offers highly developed athletic facilities.Team spots,swimming,and track and field activity are a11 very much part of the Stanford picture.So are bicycling and jogging.
5 In addition to financial support from alumni(校友),Stanford receives grants from the
government and from private philanthropic(慈善旳)foundations。In recent years,government
grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history, psychology, education,and atomic energy.At present Stanford is carrying out an ambitious building program,financed in part by山e Ford Foundation’s 25 million grant.Recently added to the campus are a new physics building,new school of business,new graduate school of law,new student union,and undergraduate library.

第一篇 Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial Success,few nations can match Germany.Since the 1940s,the nation’s vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science.And though German prosperity(繁华)has faltered(衰退)over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline.it still has an enviable record for turning ideas into profit.
Much of the reason for也at success is the Fraunhofer Society,a network of research
institutes t11at exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought—after technologies.But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition.Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer, and technology parks are springing up all over.These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies.
Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success,but it is not without its critics.These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science,eventually starving industry of fresh ideas.If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur(企业家),the argument goes,then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity.driven.free and widely available will Suffer.Others claim that many of the programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.
While this debate continues,new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research
networks.which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max Planck and Leibniz.Yet it is the fourth network,the Fraunhofer Society, that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.
Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’s largest organisation for applied
technology,and has 59 institutes employing 12,000 people.It continues to grow.Last year, it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin.Today,
there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.
31 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?
A Technology transfer.
B Good management.
C Hard work.
D Fierce competition.
32 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?
A It is free.
B It is profit-driven.
C It is widely available.
D It is curiosity-driven.
33 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in
A Asia.
B USA.
C Europe.
D Africa.
34 When.was the Fraunhofer Society founded?
A In 1940.
B Last year.
C After the unification.
D In 1949.
35 The word “expertise’’ in line 3 could be best replaced by
A “experts”.
B ‘‘scientists”.
C “scholars”.
D ‘‘special knowledge”.
第二篇 Star Quality
A new anti-cheating system for counting the judges’ scores in ice skating is flawed,according to leading sports specialists.Ice skating’s governing body announced the new rules last week after concerns that a judge at the Winter Olympics may have been unfairly influenced.
Initially the judges in the pairs figure—skating event at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City voted 5 to 4 to give the gold medal to a Russian pair,even though they had a fall during their routine.But the International Skating Union suspended the French judge for failing to reveal that she had been put under pressure to Vote for the Russians.The International Olympics Committee then decided to give a second gold to the Canadian runners-up(亚军).
The ISU,skating’s governing body, now says it intends to change the rules.In future 14 judges will judge each event,but only 7 of their scores--selected at random--will count,
The ISU won’t finally approve the new system until it meets in June but already UK Sport.the British Government’s sports body.has expressed reservations.“I remain to be convinced that the random selection system would offer the guarantees that everyone concerned with ethical sport is looking for'’,says Jerry Bingham,UK Sport’s head of ethics(伦理).
A random system can still be manipulated,says Mark Dixon,a specialist on sports statistics from the Royal Statistical Society in London.“The score of one or two judges who have been nobbled(受到贿赂)may still be in the seven selected.”
Many other sports that have judges,including diving,gymnastics,and synchronized swimming.have a system that discards the highest and lowest scores.If a judge was under pressure to favour a particular team,they would tend to give it very high scores and mark down the opposition team,so their scores wouldn’t count.It works for diving,says Jeff Cook,a member of the international government body’s technical committee.“If you remove those at the top and bottom you’re left with those in the middle,SO you’re getting a reasonable average.’’
Since the 2023 Olympics in Sydney, diving has tightened up in its system still further.Two separate panels of judges score different rounds of diving during top competitions.Neither panel knows the scores given by the other.‘'We have done this to head off any suggestion of bias.”says Cook.
Bingham urged the ISU to consider other options.“Tms should involve examining the way in which other sports deal with the problem of adjudicating(裁定)on matter of style and presentation,”he says.
36 Who won the gold medal in the pairs figure-skating event?
A The Russian pair.
B The Canadian pair.
C Both the Russian pair and the Canadian pair.
D The French pair.
37 According to the new rules proposed by the ISU,which of the following is right?
A The number of judges will be doubled.
B Only half of the judges will score.
C Only some selected judges will score.
D Only half of the scores will count.
38 What does Jerry Bingham express by saying “I remain to be convinced”?
A His anger.
B His criticism.
C His agreement.
D His doubt.
39 The attitude of those concerned in the UK to the new rules proposed by ISU Can be best described as
A indifferent.
B reserved.
C enthusiastic.
D positive.
40 Which of the following is NOT true of the scoring system for diving?
A It is more biased.
B It is more reasonable.
C It is fairer.
D It is tighter.
第三篇 Eat More,Weigh Less,Live Longer
Clever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near。starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals. ‘
Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston,US,and his colleagues have been able to extend the lifespan(寿命)of mice by 18 per cent by blocking the rodent’s(啮齿动物) increase of fat in specific cells.This suggests th
