questions.

The World Trade Organization came into being in 1995. One of the youngest of the
international organizations, the WTO is the successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GATT) established in the wake of the Second World War. So while the WTO is
relatively young, the multilateral trading system that was originally set up under the GATT is
over 70 years old.

The past 70 years have seen an exceptional growth in world trade. Merchandise exports have
grown on average by 6% annually. This growth in trade has been a powerful engine for overall
economic expansion and on average trade has grown by 1.5 times more than the global
economy each year. Total exports in 2016 were 250 times the level of 1948. The GATT and the
WTO have helped to create a strong and prosperous trading system contributing to
unprecedented growth.

The system was developed through a series of trade negotiations, or rounds, held under the
GATT. The first rounds dealt mainly with tariff reductions but later negotiations included other
areas such as anti-dumping and non-tariff measures. The 1986-94 round – the Uruguay Round –
led to the WTO’s creation.

Question 1: What is the passage mainly about?

A. the World Trade Organization B. the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade

C. the Second World War D. the global economy

Question 2: When was the World Trade Organization founded?

A. in 1993 B. in 1994 C. in 1995 D. in 1996

Question 3: How many percent have merchandise exports grown on average annually?

A. 2% B. 4% C. 6% D. 8%

Question 4: How many times were the total exports in 2016 in comparison with 1948?

A. 50 times B. 520 times C. 250 times D. 20 times

Question 5: Which sentence is NOT TRUE?

A. Trade has grown rapidly. B. WTO creates a strong and prosperous trading system.C. Trade
negotiations can also be called rounds. D. GATT was established in the first World War.

supporting mental well-being promotion, prevention and programming.

services and capacity for effective disaster-risk reduction and humanitarian responses.

capacity, testing innovative solutions and supporting its scale-up - with a focus on digital transformation,
