there was cultural change long before globalization, there is a danger that much will be lost simply because it is not valued by global markets. In West Africa for example, traditional values have been overtaken by Coca-Cola culture which the local people don't yet have the values to deal with successfully.
Another common aspect of the globalized culture is that it pursues(追求) the same \size fits all\American ideal. The result of this cultural process of homogenization is that a large section of the world's population dreams of living like Cosby & Co. or like 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 existing values and cultures has a destructive impact on their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacks 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 globalization, or worldwide McDonaldization, destroys diversity and displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a mixture 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 globalization B. Western culture unites the world's economies and technologies C. the booming of Western culture destroys non-Western societies D. despite its appeal, westernization shows an unpleasant uniformity

Many Africans dream of a middle class American lifestyle. C. Chinese food wins great approval in the United Kingdom. D. Some western young people fancy a visit to African countries. 69. What is the writer’s attitude towards cultural globalization?

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。
If you were like most kids, 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 stick them up your nose (at least not in public), and don’t use them when you are counting. 71 But experts 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 makes sense. When children count on their fingers, they take 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 work on subtraction(减法) equations, this region “lights up” on the scans, even if the students aren’t using their fingers. The more complex the problem, the more activities are detected.
The connection between finger use and math ability has been proved on old-fashioned math tests as well. With their eyes closed, first graders were asked to identify which of their fingers a researcher was touching. 74 When college students were given the same quiz, 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 Memorizing the multiplication tables may help, but it is not the best option. “I would like to see interesting and creative representations of ideas.” says Jo Boaler, a professor of math education.
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’s regarding the use of fingers.
期中测试卷 第12页（共20页）
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 quickly as well. E. In fact, experts believe the brain is able to “see” a representation of our fingers. F. That may sound simplistic, but the researchers offer an interesting explanation.
G. Researchers found those scoring highest on the finger-ID questions scored higher on a math test.

Dear Jim,
Knowing that you are interested in Chinese literature, I am more than excited because I am fairly a literature lover myself.
I recommend a well-known Chinese book titled The Ordinary World to you. The book was written by a famous Chinese writer, Lu Yao. It centers on the life and destinies of three families of Sun, Tian and Jin in a village. It pictures the tough process of building up a better and wealthier life during the very beginning of reform and openness in China. Reading the book, you will be greatly affected by the courage and spirit of the main characters. That’s why I make this recommendation.
I am looking forward to your view of this book.
Yours,

期中测试卷 第17页（共20页） Today, I had the pleasure of attending the Homecoming Day of my former school, Hongxing Primary School.
Early in the morning, following some other former schoolchildren of different ages, I arrived at the school. There stood several pupils welcoming us. We first went around the campus and then visited the school museum to admire all the pleasant changes in recent years. Afterwards, several representatives, including me, had a tea party with some teachers and pupils, talking about our old days and their school life today.
Unknowingly, several hours passed. Before leaving, all the former pupils were invited to leave a message on a wall. I wrote slowly and seriously that I was very grateful to my school for her giving me a happy and brilliant childhood.
What a great Saturday!
听力录音稿 M: Lily is going to make a presentation to the class this afternoon, Sophia. W: Oh, really? I thought it was Michael’s turn. M: Excuse me？I think I’m lost. How can I go to the railway station from this bus stop? W: Head straight up the street about two blocks. When you see a shopping mall, turn left. M: I have just finished my paper. Can you read it before I hand it in to my teacher, Mum? W: Sure, let me take a look. Hmm…, your ideas are so original. I can tell you worked hard on it. M: Would Dr. Block be able to see me at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow? I have a serious toothache. W: I'm sorry, but she won't have any openings until 11:00 a.m. Let’s set it at 11:30 a.m. M: Thank you so much. W: I wonder if you could help me. I'm looking for a room. M: Well, I have got one. W: What sort of price are you asking? M: 40 dollars a month without laundry. You need to pay another 20 dollars if the laundry is included. W: Wow, this story is pretty crazy. M: What story are you referring to? W: The story of a very rich woman in Brazil. She lost her whole 10-billion-dollar fortune in one year. M: That’s completely crazy. I can’t even imagine having that much money, let alone losing it. W: I know, me neither. It must have been very upsetting to lose it all. 期中测试卷 第18页（共20页）
M: What led to her losing her fortune? Bad decisions? W: No. But it’s a long story. M: Well, you should tell me about her then. I want to hear about what happened. W: Okay. W: Good morning, sir. Could I help you? M: Good morning. I want to see some traditional Chinese paintings. W: Well, we have landscape painting, figure painting and flower-and-bird painting. Which do you like best? M: I’d like a flower-and-bird painting. W: Good. How about these 3 pictures? This one is of pine trees. And this is of bamboo. That one is of flowers. M: Oh, I like them very much, especially the one of pine trees. W: A smart choice! In traditional Chinese thinking, pine trees symbolize long life. M: That sounds very interesting. How much is it? W: Eight thousand yuan. M: It’s a lot of money, but the picture is excellent. I'll take it. W: All right. W: Can you help me plan next Thursday’s office party? M: Sure. What do you need the most help with, the food or entertainment? W: I need help with food. M: OK. Should this party be formal or casual? W: I think it should be casual. M: I agree. Next, we have to decide on food. We have a choice of Chinese food or Italian food. Which one should we have? W: I would prefer Chinese food for this party, but maybe we should try something new. What about Indian food? M: Not bad, but Karen cannot eat Indian food. Let’s choose Chinese food. What about music? Should we have a live band or a DJ? W: I think we should hire a live band, since it would be a celebration for our success in the recent project. M: Wonderful! I know a perfect band. They performed at my birthday party last Wednesday. W: OK then. Well, I will work on my part and get back to you with my progress on Friday. M: Hello everybody. Welcome to the Park Sports Centre. I’ll just show you around the centre and explain what we offer here, and then you can ask me questions. We offer a lot of different activities at different times of the day. Here are the main rooms, where we have different types of dance class. All our teachers are fully qualified and experienced. We have beginners’ classes up to 期中测试卷 第19页（共20页） advanced. Some of our students have been coming since we opened, ten years ago. And over here we have the gym with exercise machines. It’s quite a small gym, but usually there’s plenty of room for people to move around without any problems. OK, that’s about it. Over there we have the changing rooms with showers. Oh, and I must mention the café. It’s just off the main entrance. That’s very popular with our customers, because we have a great selection of teas, fresh juices, sandwiches and cakes. Right, the prices. You can join for three months, six months or a year and that gives you the right to use the gym and go to two classes a week. For a year, you’ll pay… W: Hello! 911 Centre. M: Help! I need some help. W: Yes, sir. Can you tell me what’s happening? M: I’m at a university and a student of mine fell… fell down from the steps just now. She can’t move now. W: OK, sir. Can you tell me exactly where you are? M: On the… on the … I’m very nervous right now. We’re on the second floor of Culture Hall, Room 211. W: I understand, sir. May I have your name and the student’s name? M: Her name is… uh…Anita Rivera. And my name’s Lawrence Clark, C-L-A-R-K. I’m a professor here at the university. W: OK, who’s there with you? M: Um, Anita and two other students. They are watching her while I call. Should we drive her to the hospital? W: No, an ambulance and doctors are already on their way. They should be there very soon. Leave her where she is but try to talk to her to keep her calm and conscious. M: Okay, we’ll do that. Thank you.
