Reading Comprehension:

Passage One

The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled.

In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (国际货币基金组织)．

The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs (关税) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War II.

As time went by, it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks—the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.

After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round (乌拉圭回合谈判) finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property.

Even after seven years of talks and with 22,500 pages of agreements reached, problems

19

remained, especially in the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services.

1. What is the purpose of the WTO?

A) To encourage international trade to flow freely.

B) To make sure that trade agreements are respected.

C) To settle any disputes.

D) All of the above

A) it can settle disputes in more areas of international trade

B) it enables its members to sign agreements more easily

C) it deals with problems in agriculture and services more effectively

D) it pays more attention to service and intellectual property

5. According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following statements is true?

B) The GATT was founded in Uruguay in 1995

C) The WTO has an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rules

D) All the countries in the world are member nations of the WTO

Passage Two:

The problem of the American robin is an example of the hidden dangers in the use of insecticides. Elm trees in the United States, like those in Europe, are being attacked by Dutch elm disease. This fungal disease is spread by the elm bark beetle.

American scientists have attacked the disease by attacking the carrier. They have treated the trees with a chemical which kills the beetles. But the substance they use sticks to the leaves of the trees. These leaves are a basic food of a certain type of earthworm which is itself not affected by the insecticide. The worms can store up huge quantities of this poison in their systems. The robin eats these worms and is thus being poisoned by its normal food. The bird is already in danger of dying out in some areas.

21

It is sometimes difficult to foresee side effects like these, which is why many people object to the use of chemical sprays. They fear that man may be poisoning himself in the same way as he has poisoned the American robin and other higher organisms at the top of food chains.

Passage Three

Women are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985, Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting the University of Texas System administration for not encouraging women. The University was rated among the lowest for the system. In a 1987 update, Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement.

One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs. College of Communication Associate Dean Patricia Witherspoon, said it is important that woman be flexible when it comes to relocating if they want to rise in the ranks.

Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus, many times in order for her to succeed, she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work.

Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia, inequities will exist.

\"Women need to spend their energies and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University.\" Spirduso said. \"If they do that will be successful in this system. If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time.\"
