1．Trade has a pretty bad name in some quarters．Trade robs poor people of a proper living，and keeps them trapped in poverty．There is a widely held popular view that trade is unfair．
Though many claim that a freer trade would change the current indecent reputation of world market，the cure-all free trade is the dream of most textbook economists．In fact，"Free trade"has been used successfully by powerful countries to land their mass-produced goods on fresh overseas dumping grounds and squeeze out local household businesses and craftsmanship．
At home the story is different．Large firms have little appetite for free trade and competition in their own backyard．They prefer to enjoy the advantages and protections for which they have carefully earned．Free thus fierce competition has little appeal for those who understand that they will make more profit if they can corner the market，whether at home or abroad．
By contrast，making trade fairer is about addressing both outcomes and processes of trade．Fairness is not just moral request．It affects behaviour．Actually the concept of fairness increases steadily as societies achieve greater market uprightness：Businessmen from upright societies are willing to punish those who do not play fair，even if this is costly to themselves．
Fairer trade rather than freer trade could partly mend mal-administering of resources in certain areas．Though thought of as evil economic policies in the west world，carefully planned special preferences and protectionism could be used intelligently to help to block the economic robbery of the rich class in African countries，and to improve the lives of the bottom billion．
Fairness is also important in the control of trade．The current International trade negotiations have resulted in rules favouring the powerful．The rules are made in negotiations in which the countries in control call the shots，and do not always do so in good faith．Industrialized countries were often found to have obtained definite and far-reaching commitments from developing countries，in exchange for vague promises，such as to liberalise agriculture，which they have not kept．On the other hand，the essence of the fair trade lies in the promise that every party benefit from the business，rich or poor，powerful or weak．
Making trade fairer is important to avoid a further public hate against trade．It is also important so as better to balance trade goals with other important national goals such as environmental and social protection．Finally，the so-called free trade system needs to be made fairer so that it does not block competition，and crush innovation and business spirit．It needs to offer a more level playing field to commercial newcomers and competitors in rich and poor countries alike．

74．Free trade is a concept at rich countries'service toA．
A．open up new markets abroad
B．define trade in the economic textbooks
C．dump pollutants in poor countries
D．learn the skills from local household businesses．
75．The key mechanism of fair trade isD．
A．punishing the rich countries when they cheat the poor countries
B．making sure that rich countries provide more chances for poor countries
C．promoting special preferences and protectionism in poor areas
D．guaranteeing the common interests of all the dealers
76．The underlined word"mal-administering"in the passage is closest in meaning toC．
A．macro-management
B．overall collection
C．uneven distribution
D．negative mining
77．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．Large firms earn huge profits from free trade on domestic markets．
B．Honest dealers would sacrifice their own interest to discipline the dishonest．
C．Special preferences and protectionism are occasionally adopted in western countries．
D．A fairer trade helps to ease competition between the rich and the poor．

16．If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you，then it doesn't change you．We all need some normal stress in our lives，after all．（36）G So challenge the following limits：
Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously．
If you're a salesman，and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone，now，instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail，spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call．（37）B But don't stop on the first try!Eventually，you can look at fear in the eyes and say，"Go on，I'm not scared!"
（38）F
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career； you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this．Some examples might be cooking，sewing，painting and so on．Apart from helping you challenge yourself，taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income．
Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise．
（39）CA simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself．Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight，but also make you feel better about yourself．
Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people．
Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers-try to connect with the service staff．You never know what kind of people they're going to be．Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class．（40）E

12．Many American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families．They spent their time in little wooden rooms when they were children．They got little school education．Washington and Lincoln，for example．hardly went to school and they taught themselves．Lincoln once did jobs of a worker，shopkeeper and post officer in his early years．
A large number of US presidents once stayed in the army．The two best-known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D．Eisenhower．Grant was a general （將軍） in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was a hero （英雄） in the Second World War．It happened that they came from the same school-West Point Military Academy （西點(diǎn)軍校）．One may be surprised to learn that neither of them did well in the school．Eisenhower，for example，was once fined （罰） because he broke the rules of the school．
The jobs of US presidents are tiring （疲勞的）．He must keep an eye on anything important which happens both at home and abroad．Every day，a lot of work waits for him to do and he has to make many important decisions．When Franklin Roosevelt was a child，he was once brought to visit president Taft．The old president said to him，"When you grow up，you should not be president．It's a tiring job．"

9．People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license．The law went into effect on January l．California is not the first American state with such a law，but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants．More than a million people  began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect．Among them was Christian Alvarado．Mr．Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador eight years ago without permission from the U．S．government．Some call such people"illegal immigrants．"Others call them"undocumented immigrants"
Mr．Alvarado thinks is so exciting，for be has been waiting for the license for a long time．But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them．Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles，or DMV．He says people should not be afraid，for such information will not be shared．
The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words"Federal Limits Apply"．That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building．Ana Garcia，working at the Central American Resource Center，says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them．Civil rights groups say the police and others
Dan Schnur，a political scientist at the University of Southern California，said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior．But Professor Schnur argued that young，white Americans generally support immigration reform，including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants
"It's simply because they grew up a much more multiculturl society than their parents or their grandparents did："Professor Schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States．

29．Why did the new law make Mr．Alvarado excited？A
A．Because he can request a driver's license．
B．Because he became a legal immigrant of California．
C．Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant．
D．Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants．
30  What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens'？B
A．The words"Federal Limits Apply"will abuse illegal immigrants
B．They can't be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building．
C．They can be used to act against the police and other people．
D．With the words"Federal Limits Apply"，immigrants can enjoy special rights．
31．What's the public's attitude towards the new law released on January l in California？D

B．Have a good concentration skill．
C．Do a good workout．
D．Keep a good memory．
E．Use logic and reasoning skills．
F．Build up language skills．

Many men are devoted to exercise to build up their bodies，but the phrase"use it or lose it"applies to more than just the muscle in our bodies-it also applies to our brains．Here are 5tips that can help our brains stay sharp．
（76）D
It plays an important role in all cognitive activities，including reading，reasoning and mental calculation．There are several types of its work in the brain．Taken together，these are the cognitive skills we may notice most when they begin to fail．To keep a good memory，you need to train for it，which can be easier than you think．Listening to music is enjoyable．By choosing a song you don't know and memorizing the lyrics，you improve your memory skills．
（77）B
It is necessary in nearly all daily tasks and it enables you to focus despite noise and to think about several things at once．We can improve the skill by simply changing our routines．Change your course to work or reorganize your desk-both will force your brain to wake up and pay attention again．
（78）F
It will increase your ability to recognize，remember and understand words．With regular practice，you can expand your knowledge of new words and more easily think of words to say because they will come to you more naturally．For example，if you usually only read the sports section，try reading a few business articles．You'll learn new words，and by using them you can also exercise your brain．
（79）A
You can also exercise your brain by taking advantage of your environment．Try walking into a room and picking out five items and their locations．When you exit the room，try to remember all five items and where they are located．Too easy？Wait two hours and try to remember those items and their locations．Analyzing what you saw will force you to use your memory and train your brain to focus on your surroundings．
（80）E
It helps you make decisions，build up hypotheses and consider the possible consequences of your actions．Activities in which you must define a strategy to reach a desired outcome and calculate the right moves to reach the solution in the shortest possible time are actually fun activities you can do daily．For example，playing video games requires you to come up with a strategy so as to advance to the next level．

10．Annual holidays have become a luxury and are no longer a staple of family life，according to government research．
A getaway of a week or more is no longer considered essential by many families and is often beyond their reach，said the analysis of what parents and children say they really need．Fashionable clothes for the children，expensive birthday parties and lots of toys are also on the list of luxuries families don't have to have．Instead，recession-hit parents are thinking of the future，and the things they want for their children centre around learning to behave properly，good education and good health．
Their picture of what a family ought to have includes a space to eat together away from the television，plenty of fruit and vegetables，and bicycles so children can get exercise．
The breakdown of necessities and luxuries was prepared by researchers from the Department for Work and Pensions（DWP） who were trying to establish an up-to-date picture of what parents say they really need．
Their findings show how families have scaled down their expectations in the face of economic difficulties-how parents are now concentrating their attention and money firmly on the long-term interests of their children．Many believe that while it is vital for a family to do things together，day trips or weekend breaks are enough．
Spending on furniture or decorating the house was also considered luxurious，unless the state of the home was so bad it became difficult to invite visitors in．
Instead，researchers said：A family home should have an area where the family can eat together，not on their laps in front of a television．Families should be able to go on outings，overnight trips and possibly short holiday：the fact of being able to share these experiences is more important than the precise activity and its cost．
71．It can be inferred thatD．
A．a(chǎn) week or more holiday is considered beyond many families'reach
B．children hardly ever need fashionable clothes and lots of toys
C．what a family should have is basic things that they must have
D．a(chǎn)nnual holidays were once considered necessary and vital
72．In the opinion of most parents，B．
A．families can watch TV together in order to keep up their relationship
B．day trips or weekend breaks are enough for families to share experiences
C．their expectations should be increased in the face of economic difficulties
D．a(chǎn) week's holiday is an essential minimum during the financial crisis
73．Which of the following is TRUE of the researchers from the DWP？C
A．They confirm many families still need at least a week away on holiday each year．
B．They learn it is insignificant for a family to do things with each other regularly．
C．They want to know what parents really need in the face of economic difficulties．
D．They found spending on furniture or decorating the house was thought valuable．
74．We can conclude from the last paragraphA．
A．being able to share experiences is important for families
B．a(chǎn) family needs at least a week away on holiday each year
C．a(chǎn) family home should have a comfortable area to watch TV
D．going on outings and overnight trips is wasting time for families
75．What does the author mainly discuss in the text？B
A．Cycling is very important for children's health．
B．Family holidays once a year have become a luxury．

11．The massive 8.8quake，the seventh strongest in recorded history，hit Chile and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26milliseconds，More impressive is how much the quake shifted the Earth's axis（地軸）．The computer mode!Used to determine the effects of the Chile earthquake effect also found that it should have moved the Earth's figure axis by about 8cm．The Earth's figure figure axis is not the same as its north-south axis，which Earth turns around once every day at a speed of about 1，604kph．The figure axis is the axis around which the Earth's mass is balanced．It is offset（偏離） from the Earth's north-south axis by about 10meters．
Strong earthquakes can change Earth's days and its axis．The 9.1Sumatran earthquake in 2004，which set off a deadly tsunami（海嘯），should have shortened Earth's days by 0.0068milliseconds and shifted its axis by about 7cm．
One Earth day is about 24hours long．Over the course of a year，the length of a day normally changes gradually by one millisecond，It increases in the winter when Earth more slowly，and decreases in the summer．
The Chile earthquake was much smaller than the Sumatran quake，but its effects on the Earth are larger because of its location．The fault（斷層） responsible for the 2010Chile quake also cuts through Earth at a larger angle that the Sumatran quake's fault．This makes the Chile fault ore effective in moving the Earth's mass vertically and hence more effective in shifting the Earth's figure axis．
The findings are based on early date available on the Chile earthquake．The Chile earthquake has killed more than 700people and cause widespread damage in the South American country．

64．What's the biggest problem caused by the Chile quake？C
A．It is the seventh strongest in recorded history．
B．It should have shortened the length of an Earth day．
C．It shifted the Earth's axis．
D．It made the day longer on Earth．
65．Comparing the Sumatram earthquake with the Chile earthquake，we know thatB．
A．the Sumatram earthquake had more effect on Earth
B．the location of the Chile earthquake is responsible for its larger effects on Earth．
C．the Sumatram earthquake was less destructive
D．the Chile earthquake fault changed the Earth's mass
66．What does the word"it"in the 4th paragraph refer to？A
A．The leng of a day．  B．The axis．
C．One millisecond．    D．The change of the day．
