答案
小题1:C
小题2:C
小题3:D
小题4:C
解析
小题1:主旨大意题。这是一篇新闻报道，新闻报道的中心内容在第一段中就体现出来，故选择C。
小题2:数字计算题。从第二段可知，空间站的第二个组件在Nov．20，1 998之后的两个周由航天飞机送人轨道，1998年的11月份有30天，所以这一天应该是12月8目。
小题3:推理判断题。从第三段我们得知，Endeavour是航天飞机，但是文中没说是新造的，排除A；它不是空间站的一部分，排除B；它到达了空间站，排除C。因为它的到达，国际空间站扩大了，我们可以推知，它带去了空间站所需要的一些设备，故选D。
小题4:细节推理题。从第四段我们可以得知。Korea没有提到，也不属欧空局。
举一反三
While the WTO is still young, the multilateral（多边的）trading system that was originally set up under GATT is already 50 years old. The system celebrated its golden jubilee（50周年纪念）in Geneva on 19 May, 1998, with many heads of states and government leaders attending.
The past 50 years have seen an exceptional（罕见的）growth in the world trade. Merchandise exports grew on average by 6％ annually（每年地）. Total trade in the WTO has helped to create a strong and prosperous trading system contributing to unprecedented growth.
China was an original member of GATT, but for historical and political reasons it was withdrawn from GATT by the government in Taibei in 1950. But over the last several years, China hopes to be seeking to resume（恢复）its contracting party status. China has become a member of the WTO before the body starts a new round of negotiations（谈判）late this year. Premier Zhu Rongji paid a nineday US visit from April 6, 1999. He is the first Chinese Premier to visit US. President Clinton agreed to have talks on China"s entry into the WTO with a new round of negotiations in Beijing.
Now China has joined the WTO. China"s entry into the WTO is not only of economical but also of political importance. China has made attracting progress since its reform and opening up to the outside world. It is growing more and more powerful in economy. China cannot be without the world just as the world cannot be without China. The entry of China into WTO will further strengthen the comprehensive national power of China; it can also quicken the economic development of the world.

People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age. Its long period as a country government seat has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites, with a 2,700-year history. Ninety-nine of them are under government protection, including Zhengguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen organized commercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide. Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center. In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang(Sunrise Prosperity), traded in bank checks rather than in silver or gold coins. It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking. Branch banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia, leading to great development in Pingyao. Its Lacquer ware (漆器) became well known.
In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and commercial buildings, 3,797 of which are protected and more than 400 of which are in good condition. Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxi’s history and culture, but this large number is valuable for studying its history, customs, and ancient buildings and art. Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people.
In 1997, Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as “ World Culture Heritage Site”.
