“China would always provide important opportunities for global development, and the nation would remain committed to 【小题1】(drive)economic globalization in a more open, balanced and win-win direction,” an official said on the sixth China International Import Expo(CIIE)on Sunday. In his speech on the CIIE, which opened in Shanghai, he mentioned that various nations should 【小题2】(joint)seek development in the sluggish(迟缓的)global economic recovery.

“The CIIE, first 【小题3】(hold)in 2018, serves as a platform for international procurement(采购), investment promotion and people-to-people exchanges, 【小题4】 has contributed to encouraging a new development pattern and global economic growth,” the official noted. He also expressed the 【小题5】(expect)that the annual expo could function as a gateway to the new development pattern and presented new opportunities to the world with China’s fresh development. Additionally, he said the expo should fully play 【小题6】(it)role as a platform for facilitating high-level opening-up and make the Chinese market 【小题7】 major one shared by the world, so that the whole world could benefit 【小题8】 win-win cooperation.

The official also 【小题9】( stress)Beijing’s efforts to advance opening-up with greater market opportunities, 【小题10】(far)creating immense economic growth for the world.

When scholars of international relations predict that the 21st century will be a “Chinese century”, they are full of reasons. 【小题1】 America remains the only superpower, China is responsible for an important share of global change. Since 【小题2】 start of the financial crisis in 2008, for example, China has accounted 【小题3】45% of the gain in world GDP. In 1990 about 750 million Chinese people lived in extreme poverty; today fewer than 10 million do. Its GDP per person, in terms of purchasing-power, 【小题4】 (rise) ten times since 1990.

China’s amazing 【小题5】 (perform) has greatly affected the world’s economic output. The Economist has worked out a geographic center of the global economy by 【小题6】 (take) an average of each country’s latitude and longitude(经纬度), 【小题7】 (measure) by its GDP. At the height of America’s control, this point 【小题8】 (previous) sat in the north Atlantic. But China has pulled it so far east 【小题9】 the global center of economic gravity 【小题10】 (be) now in Siberia.

People are having a debate about whether 【小题1】 (develop) the economy or protect the environment. 【小题2】 Lin Shuiqing’s opinion, 【小题3】 is our duty to cut back on 【小题4】 (produce) and reduce the quantities of things we make and buy while Qian Liwei thinks that businessmen are not greedy and they don’t hide from their 【小题5】(responsible), either. As far as he is concerned, the people 【小题6】 (operate) these factories are 【小题7】 (deep) concerned about the environment, and should 【小题8】 (give) more credit. As 【小题9】 matter of fact, many people are willing to pay a little higher price for things 【小题10】 are friendly to the environment.
