What Is Globalization?

It was the anti-globalization movement that really put globalization on the map. As a word it has existed since the 1960s, but the protests against this allegedly new process, which its opponents condemn as a way of ordering people's lives, brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the business model called the "globalized" financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more than just an economic impact on the parts of the world it touched. Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business, or running financial markets—it became a process. From then on the word took on a life of its own.

So how does the globalized market work? It is modern communications that make it possible: for the British service sector to deal with its customers through a call centre in India, or for a sportswear (運動服) manufacturer to design its products in Europe, make them in south east Asia and sell them in north America.

But this is where the anti-globalization side gets stuck in (關(guān)注). If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled from overseas, then the creation of a globalized economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations, or a means of keeping poorer nations in their place.

Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil, or that globalized corporations are running the lives of individuals or are more powerful than nations. Some say that the spread of globalization, free markets and free trade into the developing world is the best way to beat poverty—the only problem is that free markets and free trade do not yet truly exist.

Globalization can be seen as a positive, negative or even marginal process. And regardless of whether it works for good or ill, globalization's exact meaning will continue to be the subject of debate among those who oppose, support or simply observe it.

16. Globalization is a term used only in the financial and academic worlds.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

17. Globalization can be best understood as a way of doing business.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

18. Modern communications play an important role in globalization.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

19. Britain has benefited quite a lot from globalization.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

20. The opponent believes that globalization will keep the poorer nations in poverty.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

21. The opponents think that globalization corporations have more power than nations.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

22. Free markets and free trade will eventually prevail.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

Big Railway Dreams

Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.

It sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China's high-speed railway system. And that's not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe. China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.

China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe. If China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.

The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes. China's bullet train (高速客車), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the world's fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.

Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (軌距), maintenance of railway tracks. So, it's important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.

It will be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries. For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China's far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.

23. Paragraph 3________.

24. Paragraph 4________.

25. Paragraph 5________.

26. Paragraph 6________.

* * *

A. Some difficulties facing the new railway system

B. Three projects proposed by China

C. It will be a win-win project

D. Connecting Southeast Asia and Europe

E. The speed of the new railway system

F. Promoting business

* * *

27. With her high-speed railway, China plans to connect countries in________.

28. The third project of China is to________.

29. The high-speed railway between Wuhan and Guangzhou can go at the rate of________.

30. The primary challenge to overcome in this big railway dream is________.

* * *

A. 1,069 kilometers in about three hours

B. 346 kilometers an hour

C. connect the northeast and Western Europe

D. the financial problems

第4部分：閱讀理解（第31～45題，每題3分，共45分）

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，為每題確定1個最佳選項。

第1篇　Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity (特性) of time and space and so on—but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.

By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.

Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.

In the years following the First World War, honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics, and he was highly honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism (納粹主義) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.

31. The first paragraph is mainly about________.

A. a new outlook of the universe

B. the feelings of an American college president

C. the change in human thought caused by Einstein

34. In the years following the First World War,________.

A. Einstein began to be accepted even by ordinary men

B. more and more honors were granted to Einstein

C. Einstein became the head of the Prussian Academy of Science

第2篇　The Beginning of American Literature

American has always been a land of beginnings. After Europeans "discovered" America in the fifteenth century, the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life, an escape from poverty and persecution, a chance to start again. We can say that, as nation, America begins with that hope. When, however, does American literature begin?

American literature begins with American experiences. Long before the first colonists arrived, before Christopher Columbus, before the Northmen who "found" America about the year 1,000, native Americans lived here. Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land. Another kind of experience, one filled with fear and excitement, found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English. In addition, the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.

Experience, then, is the key to early American literature. The New World provided a great variety of experiences, and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers. These writers included John Smith, who spent only two-and-a-half years on the American continent. They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd, who thought of themselves as British subjects, never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own. American Indians, explorers, Puritan ministers, frontier wives, plantation owner—they are all the creators of the first American literature.

36. What does "that hope" in the first paragraph refer to?

A. The hope that America would be discovered.

B. The hope to start a new life.

C. The hope to see the mysteries of the New World.

D. The hope to find poverty here.

37. When did American literature begin?

A. Before the American natives lived there.

B. When Columbus and other explorers sent reports back home.

C. When the Northmen found America in about 1,000.

D. Long before the year 1,000.

38. What can we learn from the literature of the tribes of the native Americans?

A. About the everyday life of the native Americans.

B. About the arrival of Columbus.

C. About the experience of the first European settlers.

D. About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.

39. The main purpose of the last paragraph is to tell the readers that________.

A. in the early days most American writers were from Great Britain

B. people with rich life experiences became writers

C. there were many writers in the early days of American history

D. early-day experience provided the foundation for American literature

40. According to the last paragraph, which of the following statements is true about American literature?

A. Some British writers started American literature.

B. Early-day American literature is a reflection of the boring life then.

C. Some British writers had doubts about the future of American literature.

D. Some British writers had great confidence in the future of American literature.

第3篇　Language

Language is and should be a living thing, constantly enriched with new words and forms of expression. But there is a vital distinction between good developments, which add to the language, enabling us to say things we could not say before, and bad developments, which subtract from the language by rendering it less precise. A vivacious, colorful use of words is not to be confused with mere slovenliness. The kind of slovenliness in which some professionals deliberately indulge is perhaps akin to the cult of the unfinished work, which has eroded most of the arts in our time. And the true answer to it is the same that art is enhanced, not hindered, by discipline. You cannot carve satisfactorily in butter.

The corruption of written English has been accompanied by an even sharper decline in the standard of spoken English. We speak very much less well than was common among educated Englishmen generation or two ago.

The modern theatre has played a baneful part in dimming our appreciation of language. Instead of the immensely articulate dialogue of, for example, Shaw (who was also very insistent on good pronunciation), audiences are now subjected to streams of barely literate trivia, often designed, only too well, to exhibit "lack of communication", and larded with the obscenities and grammatical errors of the intellectually impoverished. Emily Post once advised her readers: "The theatre is the best possible place to hear correctly-enunciated speech." Alas, no more. One young actress was recently reported to be taking lessons in how to speak badly, so that she should fit in better.

But the BBC is the worst traitor. After years of very successfully helping to raise the general standard of spoken English, it suddenly went into reverse. As the head of the Pronunciation Unit Coyle put it: "In the 1960s the BBC opened the field to a much wider range of speakers." To hear a BBC disc jockey talking to the latest ape-like pop idol is a truly shocking experience of verbal squalor. And the prospect seems to be of even worse to come. School teachers are actively encouraged to ignore little Johnny's incoherent grammar, atrocious spelling and haphazard punctuation, because worrying about such things might inhibit his creative genius.

41. The writer relates linguistic slovenliness to tendencies in the arts today in that both________.

A. occasionally aim at a certain degree of fluidity

B. from time to time show concern for the finishing touch

C. appear to shun perfection

D. may make use of economical short cuts

42. What does the writer say has happened to spoken English today?

A. Writing problems are not reflected in poor oral expression.

B. On the whole, people don't mind making mistakes.

C. Educated Englishmen now are less communicative than they were in the past.

D. Like written English, it has undergone a noticeable change for the better.

43. What effect is the modern theatre said to have had on language?

A. It has become an important factor in reform.

B. It has made us more aware of subtleties in language.

C. It has exerted a welcome and positive influence.

D. It has had a ruinous effect.

44. The author says that the dialogue in Shaw's plays is noted for________.

A. refined presentation of Shaw's ideas

B. remarkable outspokenness

C. being outstandingly well expressed

D. insistence on good pronunciation

45. Many modern plays, the author finds, contain speeches which________.

A. are incoherent and linguistically objectionable

B. are far too difficult for most people to follow

C. unintentionally shock the audience

D. deliberately try to hide the playwright's intellectual inadequacies

The Invader of AIDS

The invader is small, even in the microscopic world of bacteria and viruses. It is alive only in the strictest sense of the world. It had no intelligence, no means of mobility, no methods of defense in the outside world. It is fragile, easily killed by common household bleach (漂白劑) and even short periods outside the body.　46　. It is the AIDS virus, and it is a killer.

AIDS is a disease, caused by a virus that breaks down part of the body's immune system, leaving a person defenseless against a variety of unusual life-threatening illnesses.　47　.

The body's immune system normally provides us the weapons we need to win constant battles with invading viruses, bacteria and other invading organisms. This defense system is powerful but not perfect.　48　. We do not even know that anything is happening.

But the AIDS virus acts differently from other invaders. It attacks the very cells that normally protect us.　49　. It turns our own white blood cells into mini-factories for making more viruses. Each time a cell is taken over, it fills up with thousands of new viruses, dies and releases those viruses, which attack more white blood cells. After enough attacks, our defense system is weakened and certain infections and conditions that we normally fight off with no problem take advantage of this weakness.

　50　. The person dies. There is no cure for AIDS, so learning about the disease and how to avoid it are our only weapons.

A. Yet it may be the most dangerous enemy in human history

B. Whatever condition develops because of AIDS, the outcome is always the same

C. It gets inside these cells and takes over the control

D. Each of the letters in AIDS stands for a word: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

E. The patients who suffer from AIDS have characteristic features

F. Most attacks are detected and beaten off with ease

Something Men Do Not Like to Do

Eric Brown hates shopping. "It's just not enjoyable to me," said the 28-year-old Chicago man who was carrying several shopping bags along the city's main street, Michigan Avenue. "When I'm out　51　, I basically know what 1 want to get. I rush in. I buy it. I　52　."

Common wisdom says that guys hate to shop. You can ask generations of men. But people who study shopping say that a number of social, cultural and economic factors are now　53　this "men-hate-to-shop" notion.

Men generally like to shop for　56　, music and hardware (硬件). But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they'll say, "Well, that's not shopping. That's　57　."

In other words, what men and women call "buying things" and how they approach that task are　58　. Women will　59　through several 1,000-square-metre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the　60　digital camcorder (攝像放像機). Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a mission or a　61　to be won.

Men are frequently shopping to win, says Mary Ann McGrath, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. "They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best one, the last one and if they do that it　62　them happy."

When women shop, "they're doing it in a way where they want　63　to be very happy," says McGrath. "They're kind of shopping for love."

In fact, it is in clothing where we see a male-female　64　most clearly. Why, complain some men, are all male clothes navy, black or brown? But would they wear light green and pink (粉紅色的)? These days, many guys wear a sort of "uniform", says Paco Underhill, author of "Why We Buy". "It's been hard for them to understand what it means to be fashion-conscious (有時尚意識的) in a business way. It becomes much, much easier　65　you narrow your range of choices."
