Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage (79)Extensive new studies suggest that the world has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization(自由化)after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. by some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. This is a huge success for the world as a whole, says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. We are doing something right. The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington- an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund(IMF国际货币组织)， have done too little for the world's poor. (80)The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those institutions and hundreds of other development groups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-calling for open markets, free business activities, and tight monetary control-are working and correct. But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just free markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely international financial flows. The have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modern technologies.第11题：The word 'plunged' in the first paragraph means ________.A. decreased B. climbed C. increased D. dropped into water

60th Anniversary Ceremony in Moscow 1 With thousands of soldiers and war veterans parading across Moscow's Red Square and fighter jets screa.ming overhead, Russia celebrated the 60th anniversary of defeating Nazi Germany. More than 50 world leaders, including China's President Hu Jintao,attended the ceremony.2 Speaking at the start of the parade, Russia's President Vladimir Putin praised all those who fought for freedom and independence. 'The war shows that resorting to force to solve problems will result in tragedy for the world, so a peaceful order should be safeguarded （护卫） based on security, justice and cultural exchange,' Putin said. 'Faced with the real threat of terrorism today, we must remain faithful to the memory of our fathers. It is our duty to defend a world order based on security and justice and on a new culture of relations among nations that will not allow a repeat of any war, neither 'cold' nor 'hot', he continued.3 The Second World War is perhaps the most catastrophic （灾难性的） event that mankind has ever suffered. The war affected 80 per cent of the world's people at that time, from 61 countries, and claimed 55 million lives.4 After the celebration, President Hu said that peace, development and cooperation were the future, 'China will unswervingly （坚定地） follow the road of peace and development and will make a joint effort with all nations to contribute to safeguarding world peace and promoting development,' he said.5 German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder asked Russia for forgiveness for the suffering Germany inflicted （造成） during the Second World War in an article in Sunday's Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper. 'Today we ask forgiveness for the suffering inflicted upon the Russian people and other peoples at the hands of Germans and in the name of Germans,' Schroeder said.6 President Hu and the other leaders also joined a wreath （花圈） laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers on Monday.
