TheconclusionoftheUruguayRoundofmultilateraltradenegotiationsin1994，andtheestablishmentoftheWTOin1995toprovidetheinstitutionalsupporttothemultilateraltradeagreements,constitutedasignificantmilestoneintheevolutionofthemultilateraltradingsystem.Theprincipleof“singleundertaking，”boundallWTOmemberstoalltheresultsoftheUruguayRoundnegotiations(withtheexceptionofplurilateralagreements),therebyreinforcingthefundamentalprincipleofmost-favorednation(MFN)treatment.WiththeconclusionoftheUruguayRoundandthestrengthenedmultilateraltradingsystem(MTS),therewasanexpectationthatexceptionstomultilateralism,suchasregionaltradeagreements,eventhoughlegallycoveredbytheWTOundercertainconditions,wouldeitherbecomelessofanalterativepolicyoptionforcountriesorwillneedtobeadaptedandconductedinsuchamannerastobecomeoutward-oriented;notinward-looking,andhasconstitutebuildingblocksforthenewmultilateralismusheredinbytheWTO.

ThisobjectivehasbeencontinuallyemphasizedinWTOMinisterialDeclarationsthatreaffirmcommitmenttothesupremacyofmultilateralismwhilerecognizingtheimportantrolethatregionaltradeagreements(RTAs)canplay.Thisisapparentfromparagraph4intheDohaDeclarationwhereWTOMembersstressedtheir“commitmenttotheWTOastheuniqueforumforglobaltraderule-makingandliberalization,whilealsorecognizingthatregionaltradeagreementscanplayanimportantroleinpromotingtheliberalizationandexpansionoftradeandinfosteringdevelopment”.IntheworkprogrammeadoptedatDoha.WTOMembersalsoagreetonegotiationsaimedatclarifyingandimproving,existingWTOprovisionsapplyingtoRTAswhiletakingintoaccounttheirdevelopmentalaspects(paragraph29).Such“developmentalaspectsareaconcreteexpressionofthewideremphasisintheDohaWorkProgrammed(DWP)ondevelopmentissues,includingimplementation-relatedissuesandAsrecognizedbytheseDeclarations,thegrowth,expansionanddeepeningofregionaltradeagreementshasbeenremarkable.AlmostallcountriesintheworldandvirtuallyallWTOMembers(theexceptionbeingMongolia)todayarepartyto,orareintheprocessofnegotiating,atleastoneRTA.Thus,regionalismhasbecomeapolicyoptionformostcountriesandisapermanentfeatureoftheinternationaltradingenvironmentfortheforeseeablefuture.

Anotablefeatureintherecentriseofregionalismisthatcountriesthathavetraditionallyfavoredthemultilateralapproachtotradeliberalization,includingAustralia,NewZealand,Japan,Singapore,IndiaandtheRepublicofKoreahavejoinedtheRTAbandwagon.TheUnitedStateshasalsogivenmoreattentiontoconcludingRTAs.AdifferentcompositionofRTAsinvolvingthewideningofcountrycoveragebeyondthetraditionalregionalzonehasemerged.Significantly,RTAshaveemergedbetweencountriesandentitiesindifferentregions/continents(e.g.EU-Mexico,EU-SouthAfrica,US-Israel.Jordan,Morocco,Chile).Inmostcases,theseagreementsarebilateralinmembership,concludedbytwocountries/entities,includingthecaseoffreetradeagreementsnegotiatedandconcludedbythetwodistinctRTAs(e.g.EU-MERCOSURundernegotiation).

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:A

第3題:C

第4題:D

第5題:A

【解析】1.主旨大意題。本文主要提出了高級女主管很少的現(xiàn)象，并且對此分析了原因。

2.推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段“Somegovernmentstryhardtohelpwomencombineacareerandfamily.FranceandtheScandinaviancountrieshelpwithchildcare.ThiscontrastsstarklywithAmericanandBritishschools,whichbootthemoutlongbeforeanadult’sworkdayisover.Americanparentsmustalsosquarethecircleofultra-shortholidaysforgrown-upsandabsurdlylongonesforkids.一些政府努力幫助女性把事業(yè)和家庭結(jié)合起來。法國和斯堪的納維亞國家?guī)椭鷥和Ｓ?。這與美國和英國的學(xué)校形成了鮮明的對比，美國和英國的學(xué)校在一個成年人的工作日結(jié)束之前就把他們趕出去了。美國的父母還必須為成年人安排超短的假期，為孩子安排長得荒唐的假期。”可知法國和斯堪的納維亞國家比英國和美國更加平等，更加重視女性，故A項正確。

3.細(xì)節(jié)事實題。由倒數(shù)第四段及第三段“Thewaypatronageandpromotionworkwithinthecorporateworldmaycountagainstwomen.Nearlyalltheexecutiveswhorisetothetophavehadapowerfulbacker,accordingtoSylviaAnnHewlett，theauthorof“TheSponsorEffect”，areportfortheHarvardBusinessReview.YetwomenoftenfailtocultivatewhatMs.’Hewlettcalls“relationshipcapital”.Theyhesitatetocallinfavorsforfearofseemingpushy.Andmanyareafraidofthegossipthatacloserelationshipwithaseniormalecolleaguemightprovoke.Nodoubtallofthisplaysitspart.Butamuchbiggerobstacletoputtingmorewomeninboardroomsisthatsomanystruggletobalanceworkandafamily.在企業(yè)界，贊助和晉升的工作方式可能不利于女性。西爾維亞?安?休利特(SylviaAnnHewlett)是《哈佛商業(yè)評論》(HarvardBusinessReview)的一篇報告《贊助商效應(yīng)》(theSponsorEffect)的作者，她認(rèn)為，幾乎所有升到高層的高管都有一個強(qiáng)有力的支持者。然而，女性往往無法培養(yǎng)出休利特所說的“關(guān)系資本”。他們不愿尋求幫助，擔(dān)心會顯得咄咄逼人。還有很多人擔(dān)心與男同事的親密關(guān)系會引發(fā)流言蜚語。毫無疑問，所有這些都發(fā)揮了作用。但讓更多女性進(jìn)入董事會的一個更大障礙是，太多女性難以平衡工作和家庭?？芍狝BD項在文中都有提及，故C項正確。

4.細(xì)節(jié)事實題。由最后一段“Theyaremorecollaborativethanmen,saysMsGersh,andbetteratmultitasking.Thosewithchildrenquicklybecomeefficient.Theyknowthattheyhavetobehomeatacertaintime.她們比男性更善于合作，Gersh女士說，而且更擅長多任務(wù)處理。那些有孩子的人很快就會變得有效率。她們知道她們必須在特定的時間回家?！笨芍殬I(yè)女性的優(yōu)勢是善于合作，能夠處理許多任務(wù)，并且高效。故答案D。

5.推理判斷題。全文通過一些數(shù)據(jù)來分析女性高管少的現(xiàn)象及原因。故A項正確。

【答案】1.考查介詞搭配。根據(jù)空格前的loaded（裝載）與空格后的operatingsystem（操作系統(tǒng)）可知此處用介詞with構(gòu)成固定搭配loadwith（裝載某物）。

試題答案：with

2.考查上下文語義。as?well?as常用來連接兩個并列的成分，意為“也，還”，根據(jù)空格前的generatedcontroversy（引起爭議）aswellas可知此處填goodwill（善意）。

試題答案：will

3.考查介詞搭配。根據(jù)withsomebloggersaccusingMicrosoftofbribery可知此處填of與前面的ofbribery形成對應(yīng)。

試題答案：of

4.考查介詞搭配。sellfor表示“賣（多少錢）”。

試題答案：for

5.考查上下文語義。根據(jù)hadsentoutabout90computerstobloggers（已經(jīng)向博客寄出了大約90臺電腦）可推測主語為微軟公司，用“thecompany”指代微軟公司。

試題答案：company

6.考查關(guān)系代詞?？崭袂暗腷loggers為先行詞，表示人，且在從句中作主語，故用關(guān)系代詞who引導(dǎo)。

試題答案：who

7.考查上下文語義。短文第一段提到“最近微軟公司贈送昂貴的裝載有自身新的WindowsVista操作系統(tǒng)的筆記本電腦”可推測“微軟公司送裝載有自身新的WindowsVista操作系統(tǒng)的筆記本電腦的目的是了解該新的操作系統(tǒng)所帶來的影響”，再由空格前的be和空格后的by，可知動詞被動形式，填affected。

試題答案：affected

8.考查不定代詞。根據(jù)空格前ButwhilethoseonMicrosoft'smailinglistinitiallygreetedthemachines（不過當(dāng)微軟公司電腦寄送名單上那些人最初熱心地歡迎這些電腦吋）和空格后many...bloggerssoonobjected（很多……博客使用者很快就反對這些電腦的贈送）可推測此處是其他人的態(tài)度。

試題答案：other

9.考查上下文語義。根據(jù)becausebloggersareboundbythe...rulesastraditionaljournalists（因為博客受到……規(guī)則的約束，如同傳統(tǒng)的記者）可推測博客也像記者一樣受到同樣的規(guī)則制約，故填same。

試題答案：same

10.考查上下文語義。根據(jù)第四題可知每臺電腦的價格以超過2200美元賣出，可推出此處表示“昂貴的禮物”，故填expensive。

試題答案：expensive

7.問答題

A

B

C

bespentinbedasleep.Thebenefitistheenjoymentgainedfromeachextraminuteviewed.

D

【答案】試題答案：A;cost

【解析】考查主謂一致。謂語動詞is用的是單數(shù)形式，故主語也需要用單數(shù)形式。

8.翻譯題

TranslatethefollowingpassagefromChineseintoEnglish.

人們要想得到工作的勝利即得到預(yù)想的結(jié)果，一定要使自己的思想符合于客觀外界的規(guī)律性，如果不符合，就會在實踐中失敗。人們經(jīng)過失敗之后，也就從失敗中取得教訓(xùn)，改正自己的思想使之符合外界的規(guī)律性，人們就能變失敗為勝利，所謂“失敗乃成功之母”，“吃一塹長一智”，就是這個道理。

【答案】Ifyouwanttobesuccessfulinyourworkasyouexpected,youmustmakeyourthoughtsconformtoobjectiveobjectslawsoftheworld.Ifnot,youwouldbefailinpractice.Afterexperiencingfailure,youwouldlearnlessonsfromfailureandadjustyourthoughtstoobjectivelaws.Youcanturnfailureintovictory,whichiscalled“failureisthemotherofsuccess”and“afallintoapit,againinyourwit”.
