with new images, new music, new clothes and new values. The familiar and old are to be abandoned. While there was cultural change long before globaliation, there is a danger that much will be lost simply because it is not valued by global marets. In West Africa for eample, traditional values have been overtaen by Coca-Cola culture which the local people don’t yet have the values to deal with successfully.
Another common aspect of the globalied culture is that it pursues (追求) the same “one sie fits all\American ideal. The result of this cultural process of homogeniation is that a large section of the world’s population dreams of living lie Cosby & Co. or lie the characters in any other stereotype American soap opera. In addition, the dream of living a better life causes thousands of people to move to already
overcrowded cities whose population has boomed by millions within the last decades. The majority of these new immigrants end up in slums leading to poverty, pollution and misery.
Such gradual aggression against people’s eisting values and cultures has a destructive impact on their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacs spiritual values and faith traditions. The accumulative (累积的)effect in non-Western societies is a crisis of cultural confidence, combined with the increased economic uncertainty and crime which global integration (一体化)may bring. This creates real problems for social stability? whether it is at the level of nation, community or family.
In conclusion, cultural globaliation，or worldwide McDonaldiation, destroys diversity and displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a miture of many different cultures. It is more a consequence of power concentration in the global media and manufacturing companies than the people’s own wish to abandon their cultural identity and diversity, 67. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that ______.
A. non-Western societies willingly accept economic globaliation B. Western culture unites the world、economies and technologies C.the booming of Western culture destroys non-Western societies D. despite its appeal, westerniation shows an unpleasant uniformity
68. Which best serves as an eample of the “one sie fits all” principle in non-Western nations? A. McDonald receives more criticism abroad than at home. B. Many Africans dream of a middle class American lifestyle. C. Chinese food wins great approval in the United ingdom.
D. Some western young people fancy a visit to African countries, 69. What is the writer’s attitude towards cultural globaliation? A. Cautious.
B. Critical.
C. Positive.
D. Neutral.
70. The passage is mainly about _______. A. cultural diversity in globaliation C. drawbacs of cultural globaliation

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。
If you were lie most ids, your mother told you there were three no-no’s when it came to your fingers Don’t put them in an electrical outlet, don’t stic them up your nose ( at least not in public ), and don’t use them when you are counting. _71_ But eperts in education and cognition now believe that using your fingers to do math is not only a perfectly good idea but may even help children become superior students.
It certainly maes sense. When children count on their fingers, they tae an abstract concept— mathematics—and translate it into the most basic and visual form. _72_ Even when we aren’t actually counting on them, they still can help us on math problem,
_73_ It activates when we respond to heat, pressure, pain, or the use of a given finger. Studying brain scans, researchers discovered that when students aged 8 to 13 wor on subtraction (减法) equations, this region “lights up” on the scans, even if the students aren’t using their fingers. The more comple the problem, the more activities are detected.
The connection between finger use and math ability has been shown on old-fashioned math tests as well. With their eyes closed, first graders were ased to identify which of their fingers a researcher was touching, _74_ When college students were given the same qui, the highest scores once again performed best on calculation tests.
So what does all this mean? For one thing, parents and teachers shouldn’t discourage children from counting on their fingers. 75 Memoriing the multiplication tables may help, but it is not the best option. “I would lie to see interesting and creative representations of ideas.” says Jo Boaler, a professor of math education.
B. challenges to non-Western cultures D. disappearance of non-Western cultures
Recently, a series of activities have been designed to strengthen students’ perception of their fingers. Maybe in the near future, there will be only two no-no 1s regarding the use of fingers. A. The first two laws of fingers are as true as ever.
B. There is a section of the brain, called the somatosensory finger area. C. Researchers also stress that students simply learn better using visual tools. D. Researchers are unimpressed by those students who finish quicly as well. E. In fact, eperts believe the brain is able to “see” a representation of our fingers. F. That may sound simplistic, but the researchers offer an interesting eplanation.
G. Researchers found those scoring highest on the finger-ID questions scored higher on a math test. 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分} 第一节（15分）
