参考答案：accession

解析：[听力原文]1-20 After its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has taken steps towards opening up its domestic market. As a condition for joining the WTO, Chinacommitted itself to a schedule of trade liberalization, including the reduction of tariffs on cars and agricultural products. These tariffs reductions are both modest and gradual and there is much room for China to proceed at a faster pace. A dismantling of non-tariff barriers and a more rapid and profound reduction of import tariffs would raise the standard of living of those Chinese consumers who would have access to imported products at lower prices. Second, a higher volume of imports into China would take away much upward pressure on the Renminbi and provide a true and lasting contribution to solving current global trade imbalances. Indeed, even a modest acceleration in the opening-up process would go a long way towards solving the problem. The opening up of China’s markets to international competition should be accompanied by deep reforms. Banks should be recapitalized, bad loans provisioned fully and state-owned companies’ runaway indebtedness curbed. Only when real progress in these areas is made should China begin to consider a reform to its exchange rate regime. Doing it any earlier would be highly counterproductive.[解题技巧] 完形填空是对应试者听的能力、拼写能力、记笔记能力和书面表达能力的综合测试。它要求应试者不仅听懂内容，熟练而准确地拼写单词，更重要的是将一些短语、句子结构正确理解并表达出来，是对英语综合运用能力的考查。在答题时注意： 1．预览文章，找出线索。文章的话题规定了用词范围；利用词汇的同现和复现关系；根据上下文推测词汇的运用。 2．听写结合，双管齐下。听音贯穿着期待、预知、分析、综合、推理和判断等一系列过程。听的同时应快速记下关键词；而在记笔记时，又要能有效、专注地去听，获取全文信息。 3．提高记笔记的效率。首先，使用缩略语；字母较少的单词，可完整写出该词；字母较多的单词只写该词的几个字母。其次，有选择地记笔记，应重点记下句中的中心词和实词。
