文章大意贸易的发展史，讲了贸易的人的天性以及各地的贸易发展水平和状况。
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.

文章题目The history of Russian Ballet
重复年份20160114 20150418 20121124
题材发展史
题型判断 6+填空 7
文章大意芭蕾舞发源于意大利，从 17 世纪后传入俄国后一直欣欣向荣。出了很多优 秀的艺术家和作品，外国舞派也对俄国芭蕾舞发展有着影响。后期以戏剧味 发展主流，一直讲到本世纪 70 年代的发展。
参考阅读：
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.
雅思阅读速度多少才算达标!
1 避免默读或唇读
这是很多考生在阅读英文的时候一定会陷入的误区，似乎只有默念甚至小声的读出来才能更有安全感的去理解文章，然而实际上我们说英文的速读最快也只能达到250 wpm，与我们速读的要求相差很多。如果除去唇读的时间，单纯地把阅读变成一种视觉接受信息的方式，速度会有很大提升。
当然这一点在初期矫正的时候会比较困难，如果你总是不自觉的吧你所看到的文章读出来，你可以试着一边看文章一边读1.2.3.4之类的最简单的词语。刚开始练习的时候你的英文理解专注力一定会受到干扰，但是一段时间的练习之后你会发现你的视觉思维处理能力大大得到了提升。
2 不要逐句翻译成中文
这是另一个非常容易影响你阅读速度的习惯。正常来说我们处理英文的过程就是reading-understanding，然而很多同学习惯于reading-translating-understanding，增加了一个翻译的环节会大大降低你的阅读速度。我们在skimming and scanning 的时候是要快速把控文章的大致结构和中心内容，因此考生不需要将每个单词都翻译成中文。
另外一点，大家一定要习惯直接理解“英文”，要培养用英文的思维方式去理解英文材料的能力。无论是阅读还是其它的听说写，直接用英文的思维方式相互转化，而不是一定要用“翻译成中文”作为中间环节。
3 排除干扰项
都说雅思托福考试时一场体力与精力的考验。60分钟的高强度阅读考试需要你的注意力高度集中。
大家在练习的时候有没有过这样的情况：读着读着思路就飘走了，盯着一句话好几遍都反应不过来它的意思，实际上你的大脑精神早就不在reading上了。这是因为我们从小接触的各类英文考试很少是长达几个小时并且时间非常紧迫的。
实际上注意力的集中时长是可以经过锻炼的。在托福雅思阅读中我们需要锻炼自己集中注意力的能力，不断提醒自己不要走神，习惯于高强度的英文阅读方式，这样才能提高我们的阅读速度与质量。
4 熟悉文章结构套路
这一点不仅仅在各类考试中很重要，在大家出国留学后面对海量的reading时,这方面能力会大大帮助你survive。以托福雅思作文中都很常出现的科技类说明文为例，一般文章主体都会包括这项科技的起源以及发展历史、实验过程、实际应用、一些科学界或相关人士对它的评价等等。
如果在速读过程中考生能够迅速判断一篇文章的类别以及明确这类文章一般会有的结构套路，那么你在快速浏览文章的过程中，你的阅读速度会大大提高。当然这方面的能力需要建立在大量的阅读练习的基础上，这里也提醒大家，速读练习的时候最重要的一点就是摸清文章的结构脉络。
5 词汇语法能力作基石
最后一点真的不需要赘述了。你掌握了再多的速读技巧，没有强大的词汇量和语法能力作为支撑，一切都是空谈。这里教大家一个小技巧：你在看文章的时候不要仅仅看逐个单词，要习惯于把词组和固定搭配一起放在视线范围内，这样在提高阅读速度的同时也能够提升英文理解质量。这也要求我们在背单词的时候要同时熟悉单词的常见词组以及固定搭配。
