The answer is that the economic indicators have a basic fault: they show no difference between resource uses that( 29) progress and those uses that will hurt it.The main measure of economic progress is the gross national product (GNP).

This basic fault can produce a( 34 )sense of national economic health.According to GNP, for example, countries that overcut forests actually do better than those that preserve their forests.The trees cut down are counted as income but no subtraction is made for (35 )the forests.
答案：
1.D)。選項(xiàng)中多次出現(xiàn)game和play chess，可以推測(cè)對(duì)話內(nèi)容與下象棋有關(guān)。另外，從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容審可以椎測(cè)，對(duì)話講的府該縣女士想放棄下象棋，男士給出建議或指導(dǎo)。
本題的關(guān)鍵在于聽懂反問句和反問的語調(diào)。女士說因?yàn)榻裉煊州斄�，所以打算放棄下象棋。男士沒有正面回應(yīng)，而是反問了兩句：Just because you lost?Is that any reaSon to quit?”僅僅是因?yàn)檩斄藛?那能算是放棄的理由嗎?”言外之意就是不該放棄。換句話說就是，男士建議女士繼續(xù)下棋。故本題答案為D)。
2.C)。選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)了mail，address和contact等詞，可以推測(cè)對(duì)話內(nèi)容和郵件有關(guān)：由選項(xiàng)中的瑪麗和薩利兩個(gè)人名可知對(duì)話的內(nèi)容涉及另外兩個(gè)人，人物較多，聽錄音時(shí)應(yīng)注意區(qū)分人物之間的關(guān)系，做好標(biāo)記;另外，選項(xiàng)A)以the mail作主語，選項(xiàng)B)和D)以she作主語，可以推測(cè)該題會(huì)從女士的角度提問，女士的話為聽音重點(diǎn)。
本題的關(guān)鍵在于聽到細(xì)節(jié)“Mary should know it.”男士想把薩利的郵件轉(zhuǎn)寄給她，問女士是否知道她的地址。女士說自己很久沒跟薩利聯(lián)系了，但是結(jié)尾補(bǔ)充了一句：“瑪麗應(yīng)該知道地址�！惫时绢}答案為C)。
3.B)。選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)了handwriting，notes和class等詞，可以推測(cè)對(duì)話內(nèi)容應(yīng)該與上課做筆記有關(guān)。另外，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，A)和B)以his開頭，C)和D)以he為主語，可以推測(cè)該題會(huì)從男士的角度提問，男士的話為聽音重點(diǎn)。
解題的關(guān)鍵是聽懂反意疑問句。女士想要借男士的筆記看，男士沒有正面回答，而是反問道：Youve never seen my handwriting，have you?“你沒看過我的筆跡，對(duì)嗎?”言外之意就是自己的筆跡難以辨認(rèn)，不易讀懂。故本題答案為B)。
4.A)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)了choose和restaurant等詞，由此推測(cè)對(duì)話內(nèi)容與選擇飯店有關(guān)。另外，選項(xiàng)A)和D)均是講男士選擇飯店，而選項(xiàng)B)和C)則出現(xiàn)了dating和her，故可推測(cè)該題可能是從女士的角度看待男士所選擇的飯店，女士的話為聽音重點(diǎn)。男士說今晚要帶女朋友去新開的飯店過生日。女士說她上周去過，太讓她失望了。從rather disaDpointing可以聽出女士話語中強(qiáng)烈的否定意味，言外之意就是建議男士不要去這家飯店了，應(yīng)該另選一家。故本題答案為A)。
5.A)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中三個(gè)都提到了季節(jié)，由此推測(cè)對(duì)話內(nèi)容可能與季節(jié)有關(guān)。另外，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是以he開頭，故可判斷該題會(huì)從男士的角度進(jìn)行提問，男士的話為聽音重點(diǎn)。
女士說，冬天終于結(jié)束了，可以把手套和靴子收起來了。男士回應(yīng)說為此他已經(jīng)等了好幾個(gè)月了。顯然男士和女士一樣非常期待冬天的結(jié)束，也就是盼望春天的到來。故本題答案為A)。
6.B).四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，A)和D)以the woman為主語，B)和C)以the man為主語，選項(xiàng)在內(nèi)容上較分散，可以推測(cè)該題并非針對(duì)男士或女士個(gè)人的話提問，而是考查對(duì)整個(gè)對(duì)話的理解，聽音時(shí)應(yīng)注意從全局把握對(duì)話內(nèi)容。
對(duì)話開頭，女士對(duì)男士說，謝謝他把書送回來，由此可知應(yīng)該是男士借了女士的書，故首先排除C)項(xiàng)：男士說，他認(rèn)為女士周末會(huì)用到，而且感謝女士讓他使用這些書，故本題選擇B)。
7.A)。選項(xiàng)中涉及work，on foot，trip和walk等詞，可推測(cè)對(duì)話和步行上班或旅行相關(guān)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為動(dòng)詞短語，由此可推斷該題會(huì)對(duì)建議或計(jì)劃進(jìn)行提問，應(yīng)特別注意和建議或計(jì)劃相關(guān)的表述。
女士問男士的工作時(shí)間是否可以變通，男士回答說，不能。但今天天氣很好，他決定步行去上班。所以必須比平常早一個(gè)小時(shí)出發(fā)。男士話語中有明顯的表示計(jì)劃的動(dòng)詞decided，其后的內(nèi)容就是本題的答案，故答案為A)。
8.C)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均涉及飛機(jī)和機(jī)場(chǎng)，而且都和機(jī)場(chǎng)存在的`問題有關(guān)，故聽音的重點(diǎn)為機(jī)場(chǎng)在哪方面出現(xiàn)了問題。
9.D)。由對(duì)話開頭可知，男士在給女士打電話，女士問男士有什么事情，男士在說明來電目的前說，自己了解到女士的公司有家化學(xué)加工廠，故D)為答案。
10.C)。對(duì)話中，男士先表明自己的身份，介紹了自己公司，說明了來電目的是想和格蘭德先生討論如何幫助TGC公司防止泄漏，同時(shí)節(jié)省開支的問題，實(shí)際上就是要推薦自己公司的產(chǎn)品，由此可推斷男士是一名銷售員，故C)為答案。
11.B)。對(duì)話中，女士告知男士格蘭德先生非常忙，沒空與男士說話，男士想找其他人商談，女士告訴他，他正和格蘭德先生的私人助理說話，即女士就是格蘭德先生的私人助理，故B)為答案。
12.C)。對(duì)話中，女士說let me suggest Something，由此可知，其后就是女士對(duì)男士的建議，即為該題的答案。對(duì)話中，女士建議男士將其公司產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的詳情以及其他公司的推薦信一并寄送過來，之后會(huì)和男士聯(lián)系，故C)為答案。
13.D)。男士問女士是否想過會(huì)在西方世界生活和工作，女士回答說沒有，但是自己一直都聽歐洲大型管弦樂隊(duì)的唱片，由此可知女士在到歐洲之前聽過很多歐洲管弦樂隊(duì)的唱片，故D)是答案。
14.A)。男士問女士是否很小就喜歡古典音樂，女士給出肯定回答，并說自己六歲就開始在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)小提琴，故A)為答案。
15.B)。對(duì)話末尾，女士提到自己十五歲獲得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金到巴黎留學(xué)，男士詢問女士父母對(duì)此有何感受，女士說她父母喜憂參半，因?yàn)檫@既是個(gè)千載難逢的機(jī)會(huì)，也意味著她要遠(yuǎn)離故鄉(xiāng)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有B)與原文相符，故為答案。
16.D)。短文中作者先提出“有多少人了解莎士比亞本人”的問題，接著指出學(xué)者們經(jīng)過幾個(gè)世紀(jì)的研究之后，仍然在不斷探索他的個(gè)人史。由此可知，莎士比亞的個(gè)人史很少有人知道，故D)為答案。
17.C)。本題考查對(duì)莎士比亞父親的了解，由于使用的人稱代詞都是he，會(huì)對(duì)聽前預(yù)測(cè)造成一定的干擾，在聽錄音時(shí)應(yīng)注意將選項(xiàng)和短文內(nèi)容進(jìn)行匹配區(qū)別。文章中提到莎士比亞的父親受人尊敬，是埃文河畔斯特拉特福鎮(zhèn)議會(huì)的一名成員，故C)為答案。
18.B)。文章中提到1666年倫敦的一場(chǎng)大火把很多重要文件燒毀了，而這些本來可能是了解莎士比亞的線索，因此莎士比亞的一部分生活將永遠(yuǎn)不為人所知，故B)為答案。
19.A)。短文開頭部分提到，人們?cè)谕獬雎糜螘r(shí)遇到的大部分人都是既友好又熱情的，但也會(huì)遇到很多危險(xiǎn)，而其中最為常見的就是盜竊，故A)為答案。

25.C)。短文開頭就點(diǎn)明了主題，提到英國(guó)人以自嘲聞名，但即使是對(duì)他們來說，幽默也應(yīng)該有限度，接著短文以拉特納的故事為例說明這個(gè)主題，文末再次強(qiáng)調(diào)“這個(gè)玩笑的代價(jià)太大了”，以此首尾呼應(yīng)，告訴我們開玩笑要有度，故C)為答案。

Landfills
You have just finished your meal at a fast food restaurant and you throw your uneaten food, food wrappers, drink cups, utensils and napkins into the trash can. You dont think about that waste again. On trash pickup day in your neighborhood, you push your can out to the curb, and workers dump the contents into a big truck and haul it away. You dont have to think about that waste again, either. But maybe you have wondered, as you watch the trash truck pull away, just where that garbage ends up.
Americans generate trash at an Astonishing rate of four pounds per day per person; which translates to 600,000 tons per day or 210 million tons per year! This is almost twice as much trash per person as most other major countries. What happens to this trash? Some gets recycled (回收利用) or recovered and some is burned, but the majority is buried in landfills.
How Much Trash Is Generated?
Of the 210 million tons of trash, or solid waste, generated in the United States annually, about 56 million tons, or 27 percent, is either recycled (glass, paper products, plastic, metals) or composted (做成堆肥) (yard waste). The remaining trash, which is mostly unrecyclable, is discarded.
How Is Trash Disposed of ?
The trash production in the United States has almost tripled since 1960. This trash is handled in various ways. About 27 percent of the trash is recycled or composted, 16 percent is burned and 57 percent is buried in landfills. The amount of trash buried in landfills has doubled since 1960. The United States ranks somewhere in the middle of the major countries (United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France and Japan) in landfill disposal. The United Kingdom ranks highest, burying about 90 percent of its solid waste in landfills.
What Is a Landfill?
There are two ways to bury trash:
n Dump-an open hole in the ground where trash is buried and that is full of various animals (rats, mice, birds). (This is most peoples idea of a landfill!)
n Landfill-carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in which trash is isolated from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain). This isolation is accomplished with a bottom liner and daily covering of soil.
¨ Sanitary landfill-land fill that uses a clay liner to isolate the trash from the environment
¨ Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill-landfill that uses a synthetic (plastic) liner to isolate the trash from the environment
The purpose of a landfill is to bury the trash in such a way that it will be isolated from groundwater, will be kept dry and will not be in contact with air. Under these conditions, trash will not decompose (腐爛) much. A landfill is not like a compost pile, where the purpose is to bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly.
Proposing the Landfill
For a landfill to be built, the operators have to make sure that they follow certain steps. In most parts of the world, there are regulations that govern where a landfill can be placed and how it can operate. The whole process begins with someone proposing the landfill.
In the United States, taking care of trash and building landfills are local government responsibilities. Before a city or other authority can build a landfill, an environment impact
study must be done on the proposed site to determine:
n the area of land necessary for the landfill
n the composition of the underlying soil and bedrock
n the flow of surface water over the site
n the impact of the proposed landfill on the local environment and wildlife
n the historical value of the proposed site
Building the Landfill
Once the environmental impact study is complete, the permits are granted and the funds have been raised, then construction begins. First, access roads to the landfill site must be built if they do not already exist. There roads will be used by construction equipment, sanitation (環(huán)衛(wèi)) services and the general public. After roads have been built, digging can begin. In the North Wake Country Landfill, the landfill began 10 feet below the road surface.
What Happens to Trash in a Landfill?
Trash put in a landfill will stay there for a very long time. Inside a landfill, there is little oxygen and little moisture. Under these conditions, trash does not break down very rapidly. In fact, when old landfills have been dug up or sampled, 40-year-old newspapers have been found with easily readable print. Landfills are not designed to break down trash, merely to bury it. When a landfill closes, the site, especially the groundwater, must be monitored and maintained for up to 30 years!
How Is a Landfill Operated?
A landfill, such as the North Wake County Landfill, must be open and available every day. Customers are typically municipalities and construction companies, although residents may also use the landfill.
Near the entrance of the landfill is a recycling center where residents can drop off recyclable materials (aluminum cans, glass bottles, newspapers and paper products). This helps to reduce the amount of material in the landfill. Some of these materials are banned from landfills by law because they can be recycled.
As customers enter the site, their trucks are weighed at the scale house. Customers are charged tipping fees for using the site. The tipping fees vary from $10 to $40 per ton. These fees are used to pay for operation costs. The North Wake County Landfill has an operating budget of approximately $4.5 million, and part of that comes from tipping fees.
Along the site, there are drop-off stations for materials that are not wanted or legally banned by the landfill. A multi-material drop-off station is used for tires, motor oil, lead-acid batteries. Some of these materials can be recycled.
In addition, there is a household hazardous waste drop-off station for chemicals (paints, pesticides, other chemicals) that are banned from the landfill. These chemicals are disposed of by private companies. Some paints can be recycled and some organic chemicals can be burned in furnaces or power plants.
Other structures alongside the landfill are the borrowed area that supplies the soil for the landfill, the runoff collection pond and methane (甲烷) station.
Landfills are complicated structures that, when properly designed and managed, serve an important purpose. In the future, new technologies called bioreactors will be used to speed the breakdown of trash in landfills and produce more methane.

Section B
Directions :There are 2passages in this section .Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C),D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Question 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
"Tear em apart!" "Kill the fool!" "Murder the referee(裁判) !"
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made ,they may seem innocent enough. But lets not kid ourselves .They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way word affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含義) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term "opponent" as one of those words .Perhaps the time has come to it from sports terms.
The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "adversary"; "enemy" "one who opposes your interests. "Thus, when a player meets an opponent ,he or she may tend to every action no matter how gross ,may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a players request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough .The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed, "Are they wet enough now?"
In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences the such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponents intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term "opponent" with "associate" could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term "associate" is "colleague" ;"friend" ;"companion." Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent".
57. Which of the following statements best expresses the authors view?
A) The words people use can influence their behavior.
B) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.
C) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.
D) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.
58. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players_______.
A) are too eager to win
B) treat their rivals as enemies
C) are usually short-tempered and easily offended
D) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitions
59. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?
A) He angrily hit the referee with a ball.
B) He refused to continue the game.
C) He claimed that referee was unfair.
D) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.
60. According to the passage, players in a game may______.
A) kick the ball across the court with force
B) lie down on the ground as an act of protest
C) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their way
D) keep on screaming and shouting throughout the game
61. The author hopes to have the current situation un sports improved by ________.
A) regulating the relationship between players and referees
B) calling on players to use clean language in the court
C) raising the referees sense of responsibility
D) changing the attitude of players on the sports field
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based in the following passage.
Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保護(hù)區(qū)) (ANWR) to help secure Americas energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR s oil would help ease Californias electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the countrys energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth, with the last government survey, conducted in1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.
The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two to three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之財(cái)) in tax revenues, royalties (開采權(quán)使用費(fèi)) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment Would be insignificant. "Weve never had a documented case of an oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice," say Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.
Not so fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates the National Resources Defends Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease Americas energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after mush bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review.As for ANWRs impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden States electricity output ---and just 3% of the nations.
62. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?
A) It will increase Americas energy consumption.
B) It will exhaust the nations oil reserves.
C) It will help reduce the nations oil imports.
D) It will help secure the future of ANWR.
63. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry _________.
A) shows little interest tapping oil in ANWR
B) expect to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia
C) tend to exaggerate Americas reliance on foreign oil
D) believes that drilling for ANWR will produce high yields
64. Those against oil drilling ANWR argue that ________.
A) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region
B) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problem
C) it can cause serious damage to the environment
D) it will not have much commercial value
65. What do the environmentalists mean by saying "Not so fast" (Line1, Psra.3)?
A) Dont be too optimistic.
B) Dont expect fast returns.
C) The oil drilling should be delayed.
D) Oil exploitation takes a long time.
.66. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWRs frozen earth
________.
A) involves a lot of technological problems
B) remains a controversial issue
C) is expected to get under way soon
D)will enable the U.S. to be oil independent

Q: What does the woman mean?
16. W: Wow! I do like this campus: all the big trees, the green lawns, and the old buildings with tall columns. Its really beautiful.
M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style. It was popular in the eighteenth century here.
Q: What are the speakers talking about?
17. M: This article is nothing but advertising for housing developers. I dont think the houses for sale are half that good.

M: No, not really. Can we go over it now?
W: Sure. Ive been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies. First of all, if we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory. New equipment shouldve been installed long ago.
M: How much will that cost?
W: We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.

W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want . Try adding "1930s" or "1940s" or maybe "Golden Age."

W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature. And we do have the Los Angeles.Times available over there. You might go through their indexes to see if theres anything you want.

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B*, C) and D), Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
In the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars. So in a few years people wont worry about running out of gas.
Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F & C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models.
Transportation in the future wont be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.
But the sky isnt the limit. In the future, youll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon, Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, youll hear someone say, "The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed."
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What will be used to power cars in the next few decades?
27. What will future news reports focus on when talking about transportation?
28. What is the special requirement for passengers traveling to the moon?Passage Two
The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony. Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together.
The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring? That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond represented beauty. He placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart. Today, we know that this is not true. Yet the tradition continues.
Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party. During the time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as a wife. These could include cooking equipment or new clothing.
Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party.
During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears hi ring on the third finger of his left hand.
Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding .But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement. If this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man; they also return any wedding gifts they have received.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What was the diamond ring said to represent?
30. Why did the Austrian man place the diamond ring on the third finger of the left hand of his would-be wife?
31. What is the chief advantage of having the engagement period?
Passage Three
"Where is the university?" is a question many visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of thirty-one self-governing colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.
Individual colleges choose their own students, who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university. Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges, where they are taught in very small groups. Lectures, and laboratory and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.
The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. It has more than sixty specialist subject libraries, as well as the University Library, which, as a copyright library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.
Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they ,were a warded degrees.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. Why is it difficult for visitors to locate Cambridge University?
33. What does the passge tell us about the colleges of Cambridge University?
34. What can be learned from the passage about the libraries in Cambridge University?
35. What does the passage say about women students in Cambridge University?

Russia is the largest economic power that is not a member of the World Trade Organization. But that may change. Last Friday, the European Union said it would support Russias (36) effort to become a W.T.O. member.
Representatives of the European Union met with Russian(37) officials in Moscow. They signed a trade agreement that took six years to (38) negotiate.
Russia called the trade agreement (39) balanced. It agreed to slowly increase fuel prices within the country. It also agreed to permit (40) competition.in its communications industry and to remove some barriers to trade.
In (41) exchange for European support to join the W.T.O>, Russian President Putin said that Russia would speed up the (42) process to approve the Kyoto Protocol, an international (43) environmental agreement to reduce the production of harmful industrial gases. (44) These "greenhouse gases" trap heat in the atmosphere and are blamed for changing the worlds climate.
Russia had signed the Kyoto Protocol, but has not yet approved it. The agreement takes effect when it has been approved by nations that produce at least 55 percent of the worlds greenhouse gases. (45)But currently, nations producing only 44 percent have approved the Protocol. Russia produces about 17 percent of the worlds green-house gases.. The United States, the worlds biggest producer, withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol after President Bush took office in 2001. So, Russias approval is required to put the Kyoto Protocol into effect.
(46) To join the W.T.O., a country must reach trade agreements with major trading countries that are also W.T.O. members. Russia must still reach agreements with China, Japan, South Korea and the United States.
