The world is undergoing tremendous changes. The rise of globalization, both an economic and cultural trend that has swept throughout the world, has forged new ground as we enter the 21st century. But are the effects of globalization always positive? Some say no.
Michael Tenet, head of the International Institute for Foreign Relations in Atlanta, is worried about current resentment throughout the world toward the rise of globalization. "Ever since the 1980s and the economic collapse of the Asian Tigers in the late 1990s, there has been a re-evaluation of the role of globalization as a force for good," he said. " Income in many countries has declined and the gap between ’ the most rich’ and ’ me most poor’ has been aggravated. Without further intervention by governments, we could see a tragedy expressed in an increased level of poverty throughout the Latin American and Asia. "
Yet George Frank, an influential economist who works on Wall Street, sees no such danger. "Economic liberalization, increased transparency and market-based reforms have positive effect in the long run, even if market mechanisms can produce short-term destabilization problems," He said. "What is most important is that barriers to trade continue to fall so that active competition for consumer goods reduces prices and in turn raises the average level of income. "
Others feel that globalization’s cultural impact may be more important than its economic implications. Janice Yawee, a native of Africa, feels strongly that globalization is undermining her local culture and language. "Most of the world’s dialects will become extinct under globalization. We are paving the world with McDonald’s and English slang. It tears me up inside," she said.
Governments of different countries have had mixed responses to the wave of globalization. The United States is generally seen as an active proponent of greater free trade, and it certainly has enormous cultural influence by virtue of its near monopoly on worldwide entertainment. But other countries, most notably in Europe and developing nations, have sought to reduce the impact that globalization has on their domestic affairs.
"When I was a boy we had very little to speak of," says one Singaporean resident. "Now our country has developed into a booming hub for international finance. " Others, however, are not so optimistic. "Globalization is an evil force that must be halted," a union official at a car plant in Detriot recently commented, "It’s sucking away jobs and killing the spirit of our country. "
Janice Yawee’s feelings about globalization are mentioned in the passage mainly to
选项
A、introduce her local culture and language
B、illustrate the cultural implications of globalization
C、comment on the universality of McDonald’s and English slang
D、emphasizeA globalization’s economic consequence
答案
B
解析
根据题干信号词Janice Yawee’s feelings about globalization可回文定位到第四段第二句Janice Yawee…feels strongly that globalization is undermining her local culture and language(Janice Yawee强烈地感受到了全球化对她们当地文化和语言的破坏)。鉴于例证题的解题思路是跳出例子本身,在其上下文(尤其上文)中寻找线索,故考生要注意上文(第四段首句)的语义:Others feel that globalization’s cultural impact may be more important than its economic implications(其他人认为全球化的文化影响或许比它的经济意义更加重要),此句才是“Janice Yawee对全球化感受”这一例子所证明的观点,是本题“题眼”所在。
