Directions (1-7): Read the following passage carefully 
and answer the questions given below it. Certain words 
are printed in bold to help you locate them while 
answering some of the questions. 
Globalization is the objective trend of economic 
development in the world today, featured by free flow 
and optimized allocation of capital, technology, 
information and service in the global context. It is the 
inevitable result of the development of productive 
forces and advances of science and technology, 
especially the revolution of information technology 
since the 1980s and 1990s. 
 
The influence of globalization on countries at different 
stages of development is entirely different. The 
"dividends" derived from globalization are not fairly 
distributed. The developed countries have apparent 
advantages in capital, technology, human resources 
and administrative expertise and in setting the "rules of 
the game". They are usually the biggest beneficiaries of 
globalization. The developing countries on the other 
hand are on the whole in an unfavorably position. 
Developing countries can obtain some foreign 
investment, advanced technologies and management 
expertise, but at the same time they are the most 
vulnerable to the negative impacts of globalization and 
lack the ability to effectively fend off and reduce the 
risks and pitfalls that come along with globalization. In 
the 1990s, especially in recent years, the gap between 
the North and the South has further widened. The 
economic sovereignty and economic security of the 
developing countries are confronted with enormous 
pressure and stern challenges. Some least-developed 
countries are even on the brink of being marginalized 
by globalization. Therefore, in participation of 
globalization, developing countries should always be 
on alert and try by all means to exploit the advantages 
and avoid all kinds of risk and harm. 
 
In the past 20-odd years, China has maintained an 
annual growth rate of over 9.3% on average. China is 
now the 6th largest economy and the 5th largest 
trading nation in the world. More than 200 million 
people have been lifted out of poverty. The above 
accomplishments were achieved against the backdrop 
of a volatile international situation. The reason why 
China was so successful in such a short period of time 
and in a constantly changing international environment 
is because China has found its own road of 
development i.e, to base what we do on the realities of 
China while sticking to the basic system of socialism, 
reforms should be carried out to solve the problems of 
incompatibility between the productive forces and the 
relations of production, and between economic base 
and the superstructure, so as to achieve self-perfection 
of socialism. Every country is different from the other.  
 
It opens not only to developed countries, but also to 
developing countries, not only in economic field, but 
also in all areas of social development. At the same 
time, it is not a blind opening, but a self-conscious one, 
not a disorganized opening but a systematic one. 
China's opening proceeds and deepens in a gradual and 
step by step fashion. It started from the 4 special 
economic zones, to coastal cities, then to capital cities 
of inland provinces and now it has reached an 
unprecedented stage of all-round opening 
demonstrated by China's accession to the World Trade 
Organization. During its opening-up, China paid special 
attention to give full play to its comparative advantages 
to actively conduct international cooperation and 
competition. For instance, China has fully exploited its 
advantages of low cost of labour to attract foreign 
investment and technology to push economic 
development and better efficiency and quality of 
economic growth. These measures have brought the 
Chinese economy increasingly integrated with the 
world economy. 
 
China has learnt many lessons and accumulated rich 
experiences in dealing with globalisation from its 
practice of reform and opening-up. To adopt opening-
up policy. It opens not only to developed countries, but 
also to developing countries, not only in economic field, 
but also in all areas of social development. At the same

not a disorganized opening but a systematic one.

China's participation in Globalization is by no means a 
one-way street. When the world economic growth 
remains weak, China's economy is one of the few bright 
spots. As World Bank Report on Global Development 
Finance 2003 published in early April pointed out that 
China's fast growth "helped to drive the recovery in 
East Asia. Together with policy stimulus in other 
countries, China's performance lifted the region to 
growth of 6.7 % in 2002, up from 5.5% in 2001.China 
has also provided the world with the largest rising 
market. When more than 1.25 billion people become 
well-off, the demand on everything will be enormous. 
Just to give you an example, in the coming 10 years 
alone, China will import US$ 2 trillion of goods from the 
outside world. It goes without saying that we are also 
facing many challenges. For instance, with the 
accession to the WTO, China is faced with growing 
pressure from international competition. China's 
enterprises have to cope with fiercer competition not 
only at international market, but at home market as 
well. Nevertheless, opening the country to the outside 
world is China's basic and long-term state policy. China 
is committed to opening still wider to the outside world 
in an all-directional and multi-tiered way, with an even 
more active approach.

of the words have been left out. First read the passage 
over and try to understand what it is about. Then fill in 
the blanks with the help of the alternatives given. 
 
Big ideas come from tackling --13-- problems. When 
one is confronted with an overwhelming task, it’s 
pieces.  Business jargon is full of phrases about that, 
like “pilot projects” and “low-hanging fruit.”  They have 
their place, but in the repertory of management --14---, 
they should share their place with bold approaches to 
big challenges. Much of today’s most valuable 
management knowledge came from wrestling with 
such issues.  The most complicated workplace in the 
middle of the last century was the automobile assembly 
plant.  Drawn to its complexity where Peter F. Drucker, 
W. Edwards Deming, and Taiichi Ohno, among others. 
The work they and their disciples did, applied in 
industry after industry, is the basis of the best that we 
know about operations, managing people, innovation, 
organizational design, and much more. 
 
The most complex workplaces are tertiary care 
hospitals. These vast --15-- employ tens of thousands 
of people who, under one roof, do everything from 
neurosurgery to laundry. Each patient – that is to say, 
each “job” — calls on a different set of people with a 
different constellation of ---16---; even when the two 
patients have the same diagnosis, success may be --17-- 
differently. This is complexity of an order of magnitude 
greater than automobile assembly, and anyone who --
18--- hospitalized knows that management has thus far 
been unequal to the scope of task. The workers, 
managers, consultants, and scholars --19-- crack this 
nut will reshape industries and institutions just as ---
20--- as Drucker, Deming, and Ohno did.

economic growth. These measures have brought the 
Chinese economy increasingly integrated with the 
world economy. 
 
China has learnt many lessons and accumulated rich 
experiences in dealing with globalisation from its 
practice of reform and opening-up. To adopt opening-
up policy. It opens not only to developed countries, but 
also to developing countries, not only in economic field, 
but also in all areas of social development. At the same 
time, it is not a blind opening, but a self-conscious one, 
not a disorganized opening but a systematic one. 
China's opening proceeds and deepens in a gradual and 
step by step fashion. It started from the 4 special 
economic zones, to coastal cities, then to capital cities 
of inland provinces and now it has reached an 
unprecedented stage of all-round opening 
      
demonstrated by China's accession to the World Trade 
Organization. During its opening-up, China paid special 
attention to give full play to its comparative advantages 
to actively conduct international cooperation and 
competition.  
 
China's participation in Globalization is by no means a 
one-way street. When the world economic growth 
remains weak, China's economy is one of the few bright 
spots. As World Bank Report on Global Development 
Finance 2003 published in early April pointed out that 
China's fast growth "helped to drive the recovery in 
East Asia. Together with policy stimulus in other 
countries, China's performance lifted the region to 
growth of 6.7 % in 2002, up from 5.5% in 2001.China 
has also provided the world with the largest rising 
market. When more than 1.25 billion people become 
well-off, the demand on everything will be enormous. 
Just to give you an example, in the coming 10 years 
alone, China will import US$ 2 trillion of goods from the 
outside world. It goes without saying that we are also 
facing many challenges. For instance, with the 
accession to the WTO, China is faced with growing 
pressure from international competition. China's 
enterprises have to cope with fiercer competition not 
only at international market, but at home market as 
well. Nevertheless, opening the country to the outside 
world is China's basic and long-term state policy. China 
is committed to opening still wider to the outside world 
in an all-directional and multi-tiered way, with an even 
more active approach.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE 
 
Directions (1-7): Read the following passage carefully 
and answer the questions given below it. Certain words 
are printed in bold to help you locate them while 
answering some of the questions. 
Globalization is the objective trend of economic 
development in the world today, featured by free flow 
and optimized allocation of capital, technology, 
information and service in the global context. It is the 
inevitable result of the development of productive 
forces and advances of science and technology, 
especially the revolution of information technology 
since the 1980s and 1990s. 
 
The influence of globalization on countries at different 
stages of development is entirely different. The 
"dividends" derived from globalization are not fairly 
distributed. The developed countries have apparent 
advantages in capital, technology, human resources 
and administrative expertise and in setting the "rules of 
the game". They are usually the biggest beneficiaries of 
globalization. The developing countries on the other 
hand are on the whole in an unfavorably position. 
Developing countries can obtain some foreign 
investment, advanced technologies and management 
expertise, but at the same time they are the most 
vulnerable to the negative impacts of globalization and 
lack the ability to effectively fend off and reduce the 
risks and pitfalls that come along with globalization. In 
the 1990s, especially in recent years, the gap between 
the North and the South has further widened. The 
economic sovereignty and economic security of the 
developing countries are confronted with enormous 
pressure and stern challenges. Some least-developed 
countries are even on the brink of being marginalized 
by globalization. Therefore, in participation of 
globalization, developing countries should always be 
on alert and try by all means to exploit the advantages 
and avoid all kinds of risk and harm. 
 
In the past 20-odd years, China has maintained an 
annual growth rate of over 9.3% on average. China is 
now the 6th largest economy and the 5th largest 
trading nation in the world. More than 200 million 
people have been lifted out of poverty. The above 
accomplishments were achieved against the backdrop 
of a volatile international situation. The reason why 
China was so successful in such a short period of time 
and in a constantly changing international environment 
is because China has found its own road of 
development i.e, to base what we do on the realities of 
China while sticking to the basic system of socialism, 
reforms should be carried out to solve the problems of 
incompatibility between the productive forces and the 
relations of production, and between economic base 
and the superstructure, so as to achieve self-perfection 
of socialism. Every country is different from the other.  
 
It opens not only to developed countries, but also to 
developing countries, not only in economic field, but 
also in all areas of social development. At the same 
time, it is not a blind opening, but a self-conscious one, 
not a disorganized opening but a systematic one. 
China's opening proceeds and deepens in a gradual and 
step by step fashion. It started from the 4 special 
economic zones, to coastal cities, then to capital cities 
of inland provinces and now it has reached an 
unprecedented stage of all-round opening 
demonstrated by China's accession to the World Trade 
Organization. During its opening-up, China paid special 
attention to give full play to its comparative advantages 
to actively conduct international cooperation and 
competition. For instance, China has fully exploited its 
advantages of low cost of labour to attract foreign 
investment and technology to push economic 
development and better efficiency and quality of 
economic growth. These measures have brought the 
Chinese economy increasingly integrated with the 
world economy. 
 
China has learnt many lessons and accumulated rich 
experiences in dealing with globalisation from its 
practice of reform and opening-up. To adopt opening-
up policy. It opens not only to developed countries, but 
also to developing countries, not only in economic field, 
but also in all areas of social development. At the same
