19、overing from wounds received in World War I. Wallace had the idea to gather a sampling of favorite articles on many subjects from various monthly magazines, sometimes shortening and rewriting them, and to combine them into one magazine. The Wallaces initially hoped the magazine could provide $5,000

20、of net income. By 1929, the magazine had 290,000 subscribers and had a gross income of $900,000 a year. The first international edition was published in the United Kingdom in 1938 and was sold at 2 shillings. By the 40th anniversary of Readers Digest, there were 40 international editions, in 13 lang

21、uages and Braille, and it was the largest-circulating magazine in Canada, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, Peru and other countries, with a total international circulation of 23 million.Although Readers Digest was founded in the U.S., its international editions have made it the best-selling monthly magazine i

22、n the world. The magazines worldwide circulation including all editions has reached 17 million copies and 70 million readers.Readers Digest is currently published in 52 editions and 35 languages and is available in over 100 countries, including Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, and the Peoples Republic of

23、 China in 2008.Its international editions account for about 50% of the magazines trade volume. In each market, local editors commission or purchase articles for their own market and share content with US and other editions. The selected articles are then translated by local translators and the trans

24、lations edited by the local editors to make them match the well-educated informal style of the American edition.Over the 87 years, the company has published editions in various languages in different countries, or for different regions.Usually these editions started out as translations of the US ver

25、sion of the magazine, but over time many non-US editions became unique, providing local material more relevant to local readers. Local editions that still publish the bulk(大部分) of the American Readers Digest are usually titled with a qualifier（修饰语）such as the Portuguese edition, Seleses do Readers D

26、igest (Selections from Readers Digest), or the Swedish edition, Readers Digest Det B&sta (The Best of Readers Digest).56. When starting Readers Digest, Wallace.A. meant to collect popular articles from various magazinesB. wanted to combine different magazines into a thick oneC. originally hoped to e

27、arn at least $290,000 a yearD. only attempted to sell it to other countries and areas57. Chinese readers werent able to get Readers Digest in Chinese until.A. 1929B. 1938C. 1986D.200858. Which of the following is TRUE about the international editions?A. Their articles are mainly provided by the Amer

28、ican edition.B. Their articles are translated from those on the American edition.C. Their articles are written by local editors and shared with other editions.D. The style of their articles must correspond with that of the American edition.59.The writer of the passage intends to introduce to us.A. t

29、he history of Readers DigestB. the typical style of Readers DigestC. the popularity of Reader s DigestD. the commercial benefit of Readers DigestBProtectionism does not payThe passage of a new protectionist bill by the US Senate and the House of Representatives to allow anti-subsidy（反补贴）duties on Ch

30、inese imports will injure trade ties between Beijing and Washington and make the future of a global recovery even more uncertain.The shock felt by China is understandable. To balance global trade, it had already cut its trade surplus（顺差）to 2.1 percent of economic output in 2011 from a high of 7.5 pe

31、rcent in 2007. Meanwhile, the US trade deficit (赤字) remains as high as 4.8 percent of its GDP in spite of its rising protectionism. Manilas troublemakingAt a time when the relevant countries have been pulling together to ease the tensions in the South China Sea, the Philippines has chosen once again

32、 to be a troublemaker.The Philippines should assume direct responsibility for the fresh outbreak of the South China Sea issue, as the Philippine government has invited major foreign oil companies to invest in exploration in 15 offshore oil and gas areas in the South China Sea. The Philippines should

33、 bear in mind that a number of the 15 areas are under Chinese maritime jurisdiction (管辖权) and it does not have the right to invite foreign enterprises to bid for service contracts there. Watchdogs need to barkWhy is it so difficult for Chinese consumers to feel safe even when they buy products with

34、quality guarantees issued by the authorities?Consumer anxiety about product safety has come to the front once again following a nameless post on the Internet on Feb 16, which claimed that the formaldehyde (甲醛) levels in the combined floorboards produced by Ark Floors, a Shanghai-based floorboard man

35、ufacturer, are found higher than the national safety standards.Ark Floors has denied the reports and has disclosed quality inspection reports for all of its products, as well as the results of the latest rounds of spot checks.60. It can be inferred from the passage that A. China has hardly reduced i

36、ts trade surplus against the United StatesB. trade ties between China and the United States have been uncertainC. China has no influence on the US trade situationD. China was shocked by the balance of global trade61. The underlined word watchdogs in the third section probably refers to A. relevant a

37、uthoritiesB. Ark FloorsC. floorboard consumersD. the Internet62. Which of the following statements is TRUE about this passage?A. The three items are all about Chinas trade ties with the United States and the Philippines.B. The floorboard manufacturer has agreed with what the quality inspection repor

38、ts have said.C. Chinese consumers even doubt the safety of the products with guarantees by the authorities.D. Chinese oil companies have been invited to invest in the Philippine offshore oil and gas areas.CIce cover got thinner between the summers of 2006 and 2007, which still holds the record for t

39、he lowest extent on record; and it has not recovered since. The current winter is roughly tracking the graph of 2007, according to the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). The new study is not the first to propose a causal relationship between low Arctic ice in autumn and Europes winter wea

40、ther. But it has gone further than others in assessing the strength of the link.Through observations and computer modeling, the team headed by Jiping Liu from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, US, and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Beijing has also explained the technical aspects

41、involved.For the past four winters, for much of the northern US, East Asia and Europe, we had this persistent above-normal snow cover, Dr Liu told BBC News. We dont see relationship with any of the other factors that have been proposed, such as El Nino; but for sea ice, we do see it.If less of the o

42、cean is ice-covered in autumn, it releases more heat, warming the atmosphere. This reduces the air temperature difference between the Arctic and areas further south, over the Atlantic Ocean. In turn, this reduces the strength of the northern jet stream, which usually brings milder, wetter weather to

43、 Europe from the westIt is these blocking conditions that keep the UK and the other affected regions supplied with cold air. The researchers also found that the extra evaporation (蒸发.) from the Arctic Ocean makes the air wetter, with some of the additional water content falling out as snow.I agree w

44、ith the study that declining Arctic sea ice can drive easterly winds and produce colder winters over Europe, commented Adam Scaife, head of prediction department at the UK Met Office. Research in other institutions, including the Met Office, confirmed the argument, he said.Dr Scaife was involved wit

45、h another study published last year that showed how small, natural changes in the Suns output can also affect winter weather. And he emphasized that the decreasing Arctic ice cover was just one of several factors that could increase blocking.This is no bigger than the solar effect or the El Nino effect. But they vary, whereas Arctic ice is on a pretty consistent downward trend. he told BBC News.63. The new study by the US NSIDC is different from others in that .A. it is the first to find the link between low Arctic
