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
A．supportive    B．negative       C．neutral          D．controversial．

4．Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World
The world is designed for right-handed people，but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left？（36）D
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery．Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families，it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic（基因的） component to it．（37）A In fact，identical twins，who share the same genes，can sometimes prefer to use different hands．There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with，but many experts believe that it's kind of random．
Historically，the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures．（38）In some areas，the left hand became known as the"unclean"hand．In many religions，the right hand of God is the favored hand．For example，Jesus sits at God's right side．God's left hand，however，is the hand of judgement．Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved．In some parts of Scotland，it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey．（39）FA person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary．In some Asian countries，eating with the left hand is considered impolite．
（40）G People come to realize that left-handedness is natural．People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed，including Benjamin Franklin，Leonardo Da Vinci，and Charlie Chaplin．Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better．The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well．Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now； instead，it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in．

A．In other words，left-handers are born that way．
B．Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability．
C． The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied．
D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities？
E．Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing？
F．In Ghana，pointing，gesturing，giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude．
G．Fortunately，nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before．

4．Li Mingyang only joined Alibaba's investment platform one month ago but he has already transferred（轉(zhuǎn)移）almost all the cash in his bank account-nearly Rmb200，000 （$32，000）-to the online fund．He is far from alone．More than 30million people in China have signed up to Yu'E Bao，or"Leftover Treasure"，only six months since its launch．
Initially as the Chinese e-co mmerce group as a platform for its users to manage extra funds in their online payment accounts，Yu'E Bao is becoming something far more powerful：a straight-up substitute for traditional bank deposits （存款）．"There's no point in keeping money in the bank any more．This is just as reliable，more flexible and you can earn a lot more from it，"Mr Li says．
A quick hit of the Yu'E Bao application on his phone shows the Shanghai-based editor has earned more interest on his account over the past  day than 94per cent of other local users．"This is fun，almost like a computer game，"he says with a laugh．
For every Rmb12that companies and individuals have deposited in Chinese banks since June，they placed roughly Rmb1in their Yu'E Bao accounts，according to Financial Times calculations based on official data．While it remains tiny compared with total deposits in the Chinese banking system，this transfer of cash from banks to the Alibaba platform is only speeding up．In the process，it threatens to upend（ 顛倒） the rules of China's state-protected financial department，break banks'profit model and shifting power to savers in a way that was scarcely imaginable at the start of this year．
Other Chinese tech companies are getting in on the act．Tencent，developer of the hugely popular messaging app WeChat，is said to be designing a fund platform similar to Yu'E Bao．Baidu，the search engine company，began marketing investment products in October．
"Internet companies，with their ability to instantly reach millions of consumers，have already started to change the competitive dynamic in finance，"says Ernan Cui，an analyst with GK Dragonomics，a Beijing-based research firm．

72．In the first paragraph，what does the underlined part‘He is far from alone'mean？D
A．li Mingyang lives far away from banks．
B．Few people have transferred their money to the online fund．
C．Not so many people have so much money．
D．Many people have done the same as Mr．Li．
73．If Rmb12，000is deposited in Chinese banks，then how much money will flow into Yu'E Bao accounts according to the passage？C
A．Rmb 10       
B．Rmb 100
C．Rmb 1，000    
D．Rmb 10，000
74．As Yu'E Bao has become so powerful as a platform for its users，what other Chinese e-commerce groups will do in the future？D
A．They think there's no point in keeping money in the bank any more．
B．They will transfer all their money to the online fund．
C．They will make their companies more state-protected．
D．They will also design online platforms and throw themselves into such dynamic finance．
75．What's the writer's attitude towards the e-commerce gr oup as a platform for its users to manage payment accounts？A

Finding spare parts is （27）the biggest （big） problem for collectors of classic cars．But this company can help collectors overcome this challenge because they deal with cars built from 1932to 1974．

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．
