31、 through the center. 31 Despite much loose talk about the new global economy, todays international economic integration is not unprecedented. The 50 years before the first world war saw large cross-border flows of goods, capital and people. That period of globalization, like the present one, was dri
32、ven by reductions in trade barriers and by sharp falls in transport costs, thanks to the development of railways and steamships. The present surge of globalization is in a way, a resumption (恢复 ) of that previous trend. The earlier attempt at globalization ended abruptly with the first world war, af
33、ter which the world moved into a period of fierce trade protectionism and tight restrictions on capital movement. During the early 1930s, America sharply increased its tariffs, and other countries retaliated (报复 ), making the Great Depression even greater. The volume of world trade fell sharply. Int
34、ernational capital flows virtually dried up in the interwar period as governments imposed controls to try to insulate (隔离 ) their economies from the impact of a global slump. Capital controls were maintained after the second world war, as the victors decided to keep their exchange rates fixed on arr
35、angement known as the Bretton Woods System, named after the American town in which it was approved. But the big economic powers also agreed that reducing trade barriers was vital to recovery. They set up the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which organized a series of negotiations that
36、 gradually reduced import tariffs. GATT was replaced by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995. Trade flourished. In the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods System collapsed and currencies were allowed to float against one another at whatever rates the markets set. This signaled the rebirth of global
37、 capital market. America and Germany quickly stopped trying to control the inflow and outflow of capital, Britain abolished capital controls in 1979 and Japan (mostly) in 1980. This is part of the reason why continental Europeans tend to worry more about the power of global capital markets. America
38、has been exposed to them for much longer. Two forces have been driving these increased flows of goods and money. The first is technology. With the costs of communication and computing falling rapidly, the natural barriers of time and space that separate national markets have been falling too. The se
39、cond driving force has been liberalization. As a result of both the GATT negotiations and unilateral (单方面的，单边的 ) decisions, almost all countries have lowered barriers to foreign trade. Most countries have welcomed international capital as well. 31 One of the driving forces of todays globalization is
40、 _ . （ A） large cross-border flows of people （ B） development of railways and steamships （ C） sharp falls in transport costs （ D） emergence of network 32 The word “which“ in Line 7, Para. 1 refers to _ . （ A） earlier attempt （ B） globalization （ C） first world war （ D） the whole preceding sentence 3
41、3 World trade flourished after W W due to _ . （ A） capital controls （ B） fixed exchange rates （ C） reduction in trade barriers （ D） establishment of WTO 34 The global capital market didnt flourish until _ . （ A） the Bretton Woods system was established （ B） the Bretton Woods system collapsed （ C） GA
42、TT was set up to reduce import tariffs （ D） GATT was replaced by WTO 35 Technology has been a driving force of the increased flows of goods and money in that _ . （ A） it has lowered the costs of communication and computing （ B） it has removed all the natural barriers of time and space （ C） it has re
43、duced the barriers of foreign trade （ D） it has enabled most countries to welcome foreign capital 36 When imaginative men turn their eyes towards space and wonder whether life exists in any part of it, they may cheer themselves by remembering that life need not resemble closely the life that exists
44、on Earth. Mars looks like the only planet where life like ours could exist, and even this is doubtful. But there may be other kinds of life based on other kinds of chemistry, and they may multiply on Venus or Jupiter. At least we cannot prove at present that they do not. Even more interesting is the
45、 possibility that life on their planets may be in a more advanced stage of evolution. Present-day man is in a peculiar and probably temporary stage. His individual units retain a strong sense of personality. They are, in fact, still capable under favorable circumstances of leading individual lives.
46、But mans societies are already sufficiently developed to have enormously more power and effectiveness than the individuals have. It is not likely that this transitional situation will continue very long on the evolutionary time scale. Fifty thousand years from now mans societies may have become so c
47、lose-knit that the individuals retain no sense of separate personality. Then little distinction will remain between the organic parts of the multiple organism and the inorganic parts (machines) that have been constructed by it. A million years further on man and his machines may have merged as close
48、ly as the muscles of the human body and the nerve cells that set them in motion. The explorers of space should be prepared for some such situation. If they arrive on a foreign planet that has reached an advanced stage (and this is by no means impossible), they may find it being inhabited by a single
49、 large organism composed of many closely cooperating units. The units may be “secondary“machines created millions of years ago by a previous form of life and given the will and ability to survive and reproduce. They may be built entirely of metals and other durable (耐用的 ) materials. If this is the case, they may be much more tolerant of their environment, multiplying under conditions that would destroy i
