正确答案：A
[解析] 本题考查时态应用。句意为：通过一年的快速发展，到第一季度末，中国已有1100个电子商务网站。根据句意，句子时态应该是一般过去时，排除掉B和C。而且第一季度已经过去了，D中的this表示将要到来的，也应排除。故答案是A。

D.programs of business/high-level interpretations
正确答案：B
[解析] 本题考查词义辨析。句意为：中外教育性贸易课程在中国很流行，高水平的口译人员的需求量肯定很大。high-level“高级别的、高层次的”，senior“资深的”，demand for后面的宾语多用表示人的具体名词，所以，这里应把interpretation改成interpreter。A、C、D三项也不正确，故排除。所以，答案是B。

A.on export market
B.in exporting market
C.in exported market
