文章大意貿易的發展史，講了貿易的人的天性以及各地的貿易發展水平和狀況。

Basically trade means exchange of goods, services, or both. Trade is also called commerce. The actual face of trade was barter, which was the direct exchange of goods and services. Today traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, like money, which then makes buying separate from selling, or earning. The invention of money has made trade simpler. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade between more than two traders is called multilateral trade.

Trade exists for many reasons. It can be due to specialization and division of labor. Trade exists between regions because different regions have a comparative advantage in the production of some tradable commodity, or because different regions' size helps getting benefits of mass production.

history of Trade:

Trade originated in prehistoric times. It was the main facility of prehistoric people, who bartered goods and services from each other when modern money was never even thought of. Peter Watson dates the history of long-distance commerce from circa 150,000 years ago.

Trade is believed to have taken place throughout much of recorded human history. Materials used for the creation of jewelry were traded with Egypt since 3000 BC. Long-distance trade routes first appeared in the 3rd millennium BC, by the Sumerians in Mesopotamia when they traded with the Harappan civilization of the Indus Valley. Trading is greatly important to the global economy. From the very beginning of Greek civilization to the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, a financially worthwhile trade brought valuable spice to Europe from the Far East, including China.

The fall of the Roman Empire, and the succeeding Dark Ages brought insecurity to Western Europe and a near end of the trade network. However some trade did occur, the Radhanites were a medieval group of Jewish merchants who traded between the Christians in Europe and the Muslims of the Near East.

The Sogdians ruled the East-West trade route known as the Silk Road from the end 4th century AD to the 8th century AD.

The Vikings and Varangians also traded from the 8th to the 11th century as they sailed from and to Scandinavia. Vikings sailed to Western Europe, while Varangians to Russia.

Vasco da Gama restarted the European Spice trade in 1498. Earlier to his sailing around Africa, the flow of spice into Europe was controlled by Islamic powers, especially Egypt. The spice trade was of major economic importance and helped encourage the Age of Exploration. Spices brought to Europe from distant lands were some of the most valuable commodities for their weight, sometimes rivaling gold.

In the 16th century, Holland was the centre of free trade, imposing no exchange controls, and advocating the free movement of goods.

In 1776, Adam Smith published the paper "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations". This paper criticized Mercantilism, and argued that economic specialization could benefit nations just as much as firms. Since that time the division of labor was restricted by the size of the market, he said that countries having access to larger markets would be able to divide labor more efficiently and thereby become more productive.

The Great Depression was a major economic collapse that ran from 1929 to the late 1930s. There was a great setback in trade and other economic indicators during this period.

The lack of free trade was considered by many as a root cause of the depression. Only during the World War II the recession ended in United States.

文章題目The history of Russian Ballet

重複年份20160114 20150418 20121124

題材發展史

題型判斷 6+填空 7

文章大意芭蕾舞發源於意大利，從 17 世紀後傳入俄國後一直欣欣向榮。出了很多優 秀的藝術家和作品，外國舞派也對俄國芭蕾舞發展有着影響。後期以戲劇味 發展主流，一直講到本世紀 70 年代的發展。

參考閱讀：

Until 1689, ballet in Russia was nonexistent. The Tsarist control and isolationism in Russia allowed for little influence from the West. It wasn't until the rise of Peter the Great that Russian society opened up to the West. St. Petersburg was erected to embrace the West and compete against Moscow’s isolationism. Peter the Great created a new Russia which rivaled the society of the West with magnificent courts and palaces. His vision was to challenge the west. Classical ballet entered the realm of Russia not as entertainment, but as a “standard of physical comportment to be emulated and internalized-an idealized way of behaving. The aim was not to entertain the masses of Russians, but to create a cultivated and new Russian people.

Empress Anna, (1730 – 1740) was devoted to ostentatious amusements (balls, fireworks, tableaux), and in the summer of 1734 ordered the appointment of Jean-Baptiste Landé as dancing-master in the military academy she had founded in 1731 for sons of the nobility. In 1738, he became ballet master and head of the new ballet school, launching the advanced study of ballet in Russia, and winning the patronage of elite families.

France provided many leaders such as Charles Didelot in St Petersburg (1801-1831), Jules Perrot(1848-1859) and Arthur Saint-Léon (1859-69).

In the early 19th century, the theaters were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket. A seating section called a rayok, or 'paradise gallery', consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non-wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive.

One author describes the Imperial ballet as “unlike that of any other country in the world…the most prestigious of the ballet troupes were those attached to the state-supported theatres. The directors of these companies were personally appointed by the tsar, and all the dancers were, in a sense, Imperial servants. In the theatre, the men in the audience always remained standing until the tsar entered his box and, out of respect, after the performance they remained in their places until he had departed. Curtain calls were arranged according to a strict pattern: first, the ballerina bowed to the tsar’s box, then to that of the theater director, and finally to the general public.

　雅思閱讀速度多少纔算達標!

1 避免默讀或脣讀

這是很多考生在閱讀英文的時候一定會陷入的誤區，似乎只有默唸甚至小聲的讀出來才能更有安全感的去理解文章，然而實際上我們說英文的速讀最快也只能達到250 wpm，與我們速讀的要求相差很多。如果除去脣讀的時間，單純地把閱讀變成一種視覺接受信息的方式，速度會有很大提升。

當然這一點在初期矯正的時候會比較困難，如果你總是不自覺的吧你所看到的文章讀出來，你可以試着一邊看文章一邊讀之類的最簡單的詞語。剛開始練習的時候你的英文理解專注力一定會受到干擾，但是一段時間的練習之後你會發現你的視覺思維處理能力大大得到了提升。

2 不要逐句翻譯成中文

這是另一個非常容易影響你閱讀速度的習慣。正常來說我們處理英文的過程就是reading-understanding，然而很多同學習慣於reading-translating-understanding，增加了一個翻譯的環節會大大降低你的閱讀速度。我們在skimming and scanning 的時候是要快速把控文章的大致結構和中心內容，因此考生不需要將每個單詞都翻譯成中文。

另外一點，大家一定要習慣直接理解“英文”，要培養用英文的思維方式去理解英文材料的能力。無論是閱讀還是其它的聽說寫，直接用英文的思維方式相互轉化，而不是一定要用“翻譯成中文”作爲中間環節。

3 排除干擾項

都說雅思托福考試時一場體力與精力的考驗。60分鐘的高強度閱讀考試需要你的注意力高度集中。

大家在練習的時候有沒有過這樣的情況：讀着讀着思路就飄走了，盯着一句話好幾遍都反應不過來它的意思，實際上你的大腦精神早就不在reading上了。這是因爲我們從小接觸的各類英文考試很少是長達幾個小時並且時間非常緊迫的。

實際上注意力的集中時長是可以經過鍛鍊的。在託福雅思閱讀中我們需要鍛鍊自己集中注意力的能力，不斷提醒自己不要走神，習慣於高強度的英文閱讀方式，這樣才能提高我們的閱讀速度與質量。

4 熟悉文章結構套路

這一點不僅僅在各類考試中很重要，在大家出國留學後面對海量的reading時,這方面能力會大大幫助你survive。以託福雅思作文中都很常出現的科技類說明文爲例，一般文章主體都會包括這項科技的起源以及發展歷史、實驗過程、實際應用、一些科學界或相關人士對它的評價等等。

如果在速讀過程中考生能夠迅速判斷一篇文章的類別以及明確這類文章一般會有的結構套路，那麼你在快速瀏覽文章的過程中，你的閱讀速度會大大提高。當然這方面的能力需要建立在大量的閱讀練習的基礎上，這裏也提醒大家，速讀練習的時候最重要的一點就是摸清文章的結構脈絡。

5 詞彙語法能力作基石

最後一點真的不需要贅述了。你掌握了再多的速讀技巧，沒有強大的詞彙量和語法能力作爲支撐，一切都是空談。這裏教大家一個小技巧：你在看文章的時候不要僅僅看逐個單詞，要習慣於把詞組和固定搭配一起放在視線範圍內，這樣在提高閱讀速度的同時也能夠提升英文理解質量。這也要求我們在背單詞的時候要同時熟悉單詞的常見詞組以及固定搭配。
