A

Passport Control（护照验证处）

If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring to another flight outside Britain or

Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you

are not Britain or a citizen of the European Community(欧共体), you must fill out a special form before your passport

is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London.

After landing, follow the ARRIVALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport

Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community Passports, and a second channel marked “Other

Passports”.

Baggage Reclaim Area（取行李处）

After passing through the Passport Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage which is carried in the aircraft hold, it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with

your flight number. If you have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to the Customs.

Customs

All passengers must pass Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels: Green and Red. If

you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowance(免税限额) or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowance can be

found on special notice boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area. You should study this information carefully whether you

are going through the Red Channel or not. Please note that if you go through the Green Channel, you may be stopped

and asked to open your luggage for inspection.

Many United States companies have made the search for legal protection from import competition into a major

line of work. Since 1980, the United States International Trade Commission(ITC) has received about 280 complaints 班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号

alleging damage from imports that benefit from subsidies(补贴) by foreign governments. Another 340 charge that

foreign companies “dumped” their products in the United States at “less than fair value”. Even when no unfair

practices are claimed, the simple claim that an industry has been injured by imports is sufficient grounds to seek

relief(救济).

Contrary to the general impression, this request for import relief has hurt more companies than it has helped. As

corporations begin to function globally, they develop a complicated web of marketing, production, and research

relationships. The complexity of these relationships makes it unlikely that a system of import relief laws will meet the

strategic needs of all the units under the same parent company. Internationalization increases the danger that foreign

companies will use import relief laws against the very companies the laws were designed to protect. Suppose a United

States-owned company establishes an overseas plant to manufacture a product while its competitor makes the same

product in the United States. If the competitor can prove injury from the imports—and that the United States company

received a subsidy from a foreign government to build its plant abroad—the United States company’s products will be

uncompetitive in the United States, since they would be subject to duties.

Perhaps the most shameful case occurred when the ITC investigated allegations(控诉) that Canadian companies

were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt, used to deice roads. The bizarre aspect of the

complaint was that a foreign conglomerate(联合企业) with United States operations was crying for help against a

United States company with foreign operations. The “United States” company claiming injury was a unit of a Dutch

conglomerate, while the “Canadian” companies included a unit of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic

producer of rock salt.

25. The passage is chiefly concerned with ________.

A. arguing against the increased internationalization of US corporations

B. recommending a uniform method for handling claims of unfair trade practices

C. warning that the application of laws affecting trade frequently has unintended consequences

D. advocating the use of trade restrictions for “dumped” products but not for other imports

26. What can be inferred about the minimal basis for a complaint to the ITC?

A. A foreign competitor is selling products in the US at less than fair market value.

B. A foreign competitor has greatly increased the volume of products shipped to the US.

C. The company requesting import relief has been banned from exporting products.

D. The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the US.

27. Which of the following is most likely to be true of US trade laws?

A. They will eliminate the practice of “dumping” products in the US.

B. Those applied to international companies will help to gain more profits. C. They will affect US trade with Canada more negatively than trade with other nations.

D. Those helping one unit within a parent company won’t necessarily help other units.

C

Maru is a popular international star. Every day, millions of people watch his videos on the Internet. But there is

something about Maru that may surprise you. He is a cat.

There are many famous Internet cats. Some cats are famous for their videos like Maru. The woman who owns

Maru puts new videos on Youtube often. People love to see what Maru is doing. Another famous cat is called

“Grumpy Cat”. Grumpy Cat looks as if she is angry all the time and she usually appears in pictures.

Pictures are a popular way cats exist (存在) on the Internet. Some are memes (an idea, behavior, or style that

spreads from person to person within a culture), like Grumpy Cat. These cat picture memes often include funny words.

They use wrong words as if the cat is speaking in a strange form of English.

One of the most famous cat memes is called “I can has cheezburger”. The picture was the first on a website about

cat memes. This website is even called “I can has cheezburger”. Ben Huh bought the small website in 2007. And today,

it is part of a group of sites. He earns millions of dollars every year managing them.

But why do people on the Internet like cats so much? How can websites like these be successful? Some experts

believe that cats amaze us. Often, it is very difficult to train a cat. So, when people see a cat do something amazing,

they know it did the trick without training.

Or maybe people just love seeing cats on the Internet because cats are cute. We may never know the answer. But

we do know one thing. Cats will be on the Internet for a long time. Matt Smith, who produces videos and pictures for

the Internet, explains, “There will always be more cats on the Internet because so many people have cats. That means

there is a lot of basic material for meme creation.”

28. What do Maru and Grumpy Cat have in common?

A. They are Internet stars.

B. They seem to be always angry.

C. They belong to the same owner.

D. They usually appear in pictures.

29. The website “I can has cheezburger” _____.

A. was a great success

B. was set up by Ben Huh

C. began as a place to share cat videos

D. was the first website designed for cats

30. According to some experts, people on the Internet like cats because _____.
