根据以下材料回答下面的题目:
Academic Mobility
Scholars and students have always been great travelers. "Academic mobility" is now often stated as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold.
Mobility of this kind means also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontiers, their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues; one presumes that only eccentrics have an interest in being credited with a startling discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been reassured to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect.
In the twentieth century, and particularly in the last twenty years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the aero plane, making contact between scholars even in most distant places immediately feasible, and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge. Apart from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention: there are far more centers of leaming, and a far greater number of scholars and students.
In addition, one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests ale precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries.

It can be concluded from the passage that "academic mobility"__________

A . He risks his ideas being stolen
B . He gains recognition for his achievement
C . He is considered as an eccentric
D . He is credited with a startling discovery

Which of the following statements is correct? A rich country gets benefits through trade at the expense of its poor country trading partners。 A poor country gets benefits through trade at the expense of its rich country trading partners。 In trade one side or the other must lose because the benefits must come from somewhere.。 In trade it is possible for every part involved winning at the expense of nobody。 What can be the ultimate result of the inflow of the resources? It will supplement domestic savings。 It will loosen the financial constraint。 It will push incomes up。 It will bring technology and skills from abroad。 根据以下材料回答{TSE}题: Benefited or HurtFor the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich country counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain. Orthodox economics takes an optimistic line on integration and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labor have already been used up. If pool countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes: rich foreigners wilt want to send over some of their capital.If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment, it will supplement domestic savings and loosen the financial constraint on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investmentought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labor and partly by making labor more productive. This why workers in FDI receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same static and dynamic gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gain from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets though trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these transactions, sides exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.{TS}According to the passage, who may be reasonably afraid of the globalization? Workers in rich countries。 Workers in poor countries。 Both of them。 None of them。 She seemed to have detected some anger in his voice. noticed。 heard。 realized。 got。 She persevered in her ideas despite obvious objections raised by friends. persisteD。 insisted。 resisted。 suggested。 In the eyes of the author, what happens to a scholar who shares his ideas with his colleagues?

【解析】观点推断题,文中第二段提到“The point of learning is to share it,whether with students or with colleagues”,本段最后一句提到“one was not quite alone”,当一位学者与其同事分享观点想法时,从而会得到其他人对他的成就的认可。而A选项文中完全未曾涉及过。C、D选项均为与其相反的对比结果,故均可排除。
