Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B),C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.∙Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.On a Saturday night at the end of May, visitors to the forums section of Digital Sp y, a British entertainment and media news Web site, were greeted with an ad that loaded malicious(恶意的)software onto their computers. The Web site's advertising system had been hacked.A number of such attacks have occurred this year, as perpetrators(肇事者)exploit the complex structureof business relationships in online advertising, with its numerous middlemen and resellers. Web security experts say they have seen an uptick in the number of ads harboring malware as the economy has soured and publishers, needing to boost their ad revenues, outsource(外包)more of their ad-space sales.Viruses can be incorporated directly within an ad, so that simply clicking on the ad or visiting the site can infect a computer, or ads can be used to direct users to a nefarious(违法的,恶意的)Web site that aims to steal passwords or identities. In most cases, the problem becomes apparent wi t hin a matter of hours and quick fixes are put in place, but that's not fast enough for Internet surfers whose computers end up infected or compromised., a technology news site owned by Ziff Davis Enterprise, in February displayed an ad on its homepage masquerading as a promotion for LaCoste, the shirt maker. The retailer hadn't placed the ad — a hacker had, to direct users to a Web site where harmful programs would be downloaded to their computers, says Stephen Wellman, Director of Community & Content for Ziff Davis.Similar attacks occurred across a series of News Corp.-owned sites in February, including , and . In January, clicking on an ad on Major League Baseball's led visitors to a site wi t h malware.Digital Spy, Ziff Davis, Fox and MLB all say that immediately after they detected the incidents, they isolated the ads and removed them from their sites.Digital Spy sells the ad space on its forums section, visited by three million unique visitors a month, through a number of other companies, called ad networks. If one ad network doesn't sell the space to a marketer directly, it often will sell it to another network. The space also can be outsourced to ad exchanges, another set of companies, which hold an electronic auction(拍卖)for online ads.Web publishers say they have started limiting the number of companies they outsource their ad selling to and are working with security vendors, such as San Francisco-based ClickFacts, to detect malicious software on their networks and remove i t as quickly as possible.Ad technology companies and Internet companies say they, too, are making efforts to boost the security of their systems. Microsoft, Google and Time Warner's AOL say they use a series of technical and manual procedures to scan for malicious code in their systems.21.

This type of natural gene exchange is safe and fairly predictable.Genetic engineering (GE) involves exchanging genes between unrelated species that cannot naturally exchange genes wi t h each other. GE can involve the exchange of genes between vastly different species — e.g. putting scorpion toxin genes into maize or fish antifreeze genes into tomatoes. It is possible thata scorpion toxin gene, even when it is in maize DNA, will still get the organism to produce scorpion toxin,but what other effects may it have in this alien environment？We are already seeing this problem —adding human growth hormone genes to pigs certainly makes them grow —but it also gives them arthritis and makes them cross-eyed, which was entirely unpredictable.It will be obvious, for example, that the gene for human intelligence will not have the same effect if inserted into cabbage DNA as it had in human DNA, but what side-effect would it have？In other words, is GM food(转基因食品)safe to eat？The answer is that nobody knows because long-term tests have not been carried out.Companies wanting a GM product approved in the UK or USA are required to provide regulatory bodies with results of their own safety tests．Monsanto's soya beans were apparently fed to fish for ten weeks before being approved. There was no requirement for independent testing, for long-term testing, for testing on humans or testing for specific dangers to children or allergic people.The current position of the UK Government is that "There is no evidence of long-term dangers from GM foods." In the US, the American Food and Drug Administration (AFDA) is currently being prosecuted for covering up research that suggested possible risks from GM foods．26.

MARRIAGE
Robert Lynd “Conventional people,” says Mr. Bertrand Russell, 1 “like to pretend that difficulties in regard to marriage are a new thing.” I could not help wondering, as I read this sentence, where one can meet these conventional people who think, or pretend to think, as conventional people do. I have known hundreds of conventional people, and I cannot remember one of them who thought the things conventional people seem to think. They were all, for example, convinced that marriage was a state beset with difficulties, and that these difficulties were as old,

Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook FourUnit Eight: GlobalizationPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Work in pairs or groups and discuss the following questions.1. What do you know about globalization?2. What has globalization contributed to the world economy?3. What negative effects has globalization brought about?▇ Answers for reference:1. Globalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances in technology, transportation and communication. It is the collaboration of countries to boost trade, and to reduce cultural differences.2. Globalization has contributed to the world’s economy in many beneficial ways.First, the advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to cross over frontiers easily. Consequently, companies tend to become more productive and competitive, thus raising the quality of goods, services and living standards. Second, globalization provides companies with more and larger markets. They can sell more goods and make more money. Meanwhile, they can create more jobs. Last but not least, consumers can also benefit from globalization. As products become cheaper, they can get new goods more quickly and easily.3. Though globalization has a lot of advantages, it also produces some negative effects. First, globalization results in more unemployment in industrialized countries because many factories have moved to developing countries where they can get cheap labour. Second, it causes some environmental problems. As companies in the developed countries open their factories in developing countries, serious environmental problems have occurred in some developing countries. Last, the natural resources of some of the developing countries are being robbed of by some developed countries in the process of globalization.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about globalization and discuss in pairs what you can learn from them.Jeffrey Sachs⊙Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.—Jeffrey SachsInterpretation:Everything has its law of development. The same is true of globalization. Driven by technology and right ideas, it has progressed rapidly and will develop in depth.About Jeffrey David Sachs (1954- ): an American economist and Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. He is one of the youngest economics professors in the history of Harvard University. He is known for his work on the challenges of economic development, environmental sustainability, poverty alleviation, debt cancellation, and globalization.Robert Reich⊙Globalization and free trade do spur economic growth, and they lead to lower prices on many goods.—Robert ReichInterpretation:Stimulated by globalization and free trade, the world economy grows rapidly. At the same time, globalization and free trade have brought in fierce competition, and affordable prices have benefited consumers in a great way.About Robert Bernard Reich (1946- ): an American political economist, professor, author, and political commentator. He served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and was Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997.Jimmy Carter⊙If you are totally illiterate and living on $1 a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you.—Jimmy CarterInterpretation:Though globalization brings advantages to the world, it also brings about a great gap between the rich and the poor. There are still many people living below the poverty line, who cannot enjoy the fruits of globalization.About Jimmy Carter (1924- ): an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981). He was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.Larry Summers⊙In the developing world, far more people are poor because of too little globalization rather than too much.—Larry Summers Interpretation:People in many developing countries are still poor because they have not benefited from globalization. Globalization decreases poverty in developing countries.About Larry Summers (1954- ): an American economist. He served as the 71st United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1999 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. He was Director of the White House United States National Economic Council for President Barack Obama until November 2010.Section C Watching and Discussion▇ Watch the following video clip “What Is Globalization” and do the tasks that follow:1.Please decide whether each of the following statements is true (T) or false (F) based on theinformation in the video clip.( F ) Globalization is a process through which the financial markets, societies and cultures have become independent and tend to demerge.( T ) Globalization can also be viewed as the freedom of movement for goods, services, and people across borders.( F ) There seems to be an agreement on that economic globalization is an irreversible current.( F ) Global competition keeps prices low so inflation has no chance to occur.( F ) In a globalized world, when having a economy crush, a country can ask for help from other countries.( T ) Our economy is increasingly global as a result of mass communication and mass transportation.2.Do you think that globalization is an irreversible current?

How?Answers for reference:Open.Script：What Is GlobalizationHello, I’m Milo from , and here we’ll talk about globalization.Globalization is a word that we hear constantly nowadays. It can be defined as the trend in the financial markets and businesses to expand beyond national and territorial borders and boundaries. It is a process through which the financial markets, societies and cultures have become interdependent and tend to merge, blurring the boundaries between the local, national,and international.It is a dynamic process primarily led by multi-national businesses and organizations. It can also be viewed as the freedom of movement for goods, services, and people across borders. It is a phenomenon caused by the latest developments in mass communication and the technologies that have been developed and continue to be developed to support this new and instant way of communicating between people and organizations.The increased ease of mobility has also greatly contributed to this unstoppable trend. There seems to be a disagreement on whether economic globalization is or not an irreversible current. What is certain is that this trend has substantial effects on the world’s economies.The Pros of globalization include:∙Global competition keeps prices low so inflation is less likely to occur.∙An open economy can encourage innovation as people can exchange ideas freely and instantaneously.∙There are more varied and international goods available for consumption everywhere.On the negative side:∙Small businesses have difficulty surviving in an unregulated market and usually get eaten up by larger competitors.∙As economies become interdependent, a crush in a country’s economy will affect other countries in a negative way.To sum up we must understand that there are some basic aspects to globalization:∙Internet allows us to be global in the way we exchange information.∙We are more mobile than ever, travel has become less expensive and people move all over the place and get to see and experience different cultures.∙Environmental problems affect us all, issues such as air pollution, acid rain, and climate go beyond national borders.∙Our economy is increasingly global as a result of mass communication and mass transportation.Part II Listen and RespondSection B Task One: Focusing on the Main Ideas▇Choose the best answer to each of the following questions according to the information contained in the listening passage.1) What does globalization mean according to the speaker?A) It means that the world is becoming more and more integrated.B) It means that the world’s living standards are greatly improved.C) It means that more opportunities are given to the developing countries.D) It means that the world is developing more and more rapidly.2) What benefits do companies get from globalization according to the speaker?A) They are allowed to do business in the developing countries.B) They become more productive and competitive by doing business overseas.C) Their products can reach any place they want through modern means of transportation.D) They can communicate with other companies more easily.3) How do people in developing countries benefit most from globalization?A) They can meet various people online.B) They can get better education by studying overseas.C) They can learn from people from other countries.D) They can study in their home universities.4) What new threats does globalization bring?A) The quick spread of perishable items.B) The quick spread of wildfire.C) The quick spread of disease.D) The quick spread of the labor-force.5) What is the speaker’s attitude towards globalization?A) Prejudiced.B) Negative.C) Subjective.D) Objective.▇ Key:1) A 2) B 3) B 4) C 5) DSection C Task Two: Zooming In on the Details▇Listen to the recording again and fill in each of the blanks according to what you have heard.Globalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances in technology, transportation and communication. It is undeniable that globalization has resulted in both positive and negative effects which must be addressed accordingly.To begin with, globalization has contributed to the world’s economies in many beneficial ways. Advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to easily cross over frontiers. Consequently, companies tend to become more productive and competitive thereby raising the quality of goods, services and the world’s living standard.Secondly, a very critical advantage is the spread of education. With numerous educational institutions around the globe, one can move out from the home country for better opportunities elsewhere. Thus, integrating with different cultures, meeting and learning from various people through the medium of education is all due to globalization. Developing countries or labour-intensive countries have benefited the most.Script:The Advantages and Disadvantages of GlobalizationGlobalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century.

Developing countries or labour-intensive countries have benefited the most.However, one cannot deny the negative effects resulting from globalization. Globalization has given rise to more health risks and threats of epidemics. A customary example is the dawn of HIV/AIDS. Having its origin in remote regions of Africa, the virus has spread like wildfire throughout the globe. Furthermore, food items are also transported to various countries, and this is a matter of concern, especially in the case of perishable items. The safety regulations and the standards of food preparation are different in different countries, which may pose a risk of potential health hazards.In conclusion, while globalization is inevitable, we must nevertheless urge individuals, companies and governments to use a more balanced approach by taking appropriate steps to deal with matters relating to the financial or economic gains versus the social, political and ecological concerns of the world.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1: Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1. What is the speaker’s definition of an inclusive globalization?2. What does an inclusive globalization demand of us?3. In what ways can an inclusive globalization be promoted?4. What is the impact of the 11 September attacks on the process of globalization?5. What message does the speaker mean to convey?▇Answers for reference:1. According to the speaker, an inclusive globalization recognizes and exploits the potential of globalization as a truly integrating and inclusive force. Its purpose lies not only in opening markets but also in expanding opportunity and promoting cooperation. Its ultimate goal is to ensure that globalization benefits the whole of humanity economically, politically and socially.2. An inclusive globalization demands that we tear down the walls in our minds so as to treat each other equally and to recognize the interdependence between nations and peoples. It alsodemands that we open our minds to a new, more integrated idea of community.3. There are many different ways to promote an inclusive globalization: opening markets for the products of developing countries; increasing development assistance; promoting good and transparent governance; addressing diseases and environmental problems that have not reached our shores; recognizing obligations to provide asylum; fostering a more orderly process of integrating migrants; and valuing pluralism as a top priority for every state.4. The 11 September attacks make it very clear that humanity is indivisible and terrorism is a threat to everyone, and that the fight against terrorism can be successful only if people of different races, nations or regions get united as one. For this purpose, globalization must be made to benefit all — those at the margins and those at the centre, the poor and the privileged, the shackled and the free.5. The speaker urges us to deal with the negative, unattended social and political consequences of globalization, and the solution lies in promoting an inclusive globalization to ensure that globalization benefits the whole of humanity.Exercise 2: Text A can be divided into five parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Section B In-depth StudySome people benefit from globalization, while others simply see it as one more manifestation of the inequity of the world. Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, suggests that one way to address this issue is the pursuit of an inclusive globalization.A Plea for an “Inclusive” GlobalizationKofi Annan1 It has often been said that globalization is what distinguishes our era from all its predecessors. Globalization, we are told, is redefining not only the way we engage the world, but how we communicate with each other. Globalization is commonly understood to describe the increasing flow of goods, service, capital, technology, information, ideas and labour at the global level, driven by liberalization policies and technological changes. For a time, this logic was borne outby reality. Indeed, it worked so well that in many cases underlying schisms were ignored in the belief that the rising tide of material growth would eliminate the importance of political differences and social grievances.However, over the past few years, I and others have urged greater consideration for the potential political backlash if the social—as well as the economic—consequences of globalization are left unattended.2 Today, I would like to share some thoughts on an equally important aspect of globalization—namely its potential to be a truly integrating and inclusive force and the very real dangers if it fails to live up to that potential. In other words, just as we worry about the gap between haves and have-nots, we need to be equally concerned about the gulf between insiders and outsiders in a globalized world where no border is impermeable, and where the privileges—economic as well as political and social—of the few are painfully apparent to those multitudes who still yearn for liberty and opportunity. We need, in short, to direct our energies towards realizing the aspiration inherent in the awkward, but revealing Arabic translation of the word “globalization” —which means literally“world inclusivity”.3 Today, I wish to suggest that one way to address this new division—between those who benefit from globalization, and those who simply see it as one more manifestation of the inequity of the world—is to pursue an inclusive globalization whose purpose lies not only in opening markets but in expanding opportunity and promoting cooperation. By this I mean the need to ensure that the globalization of economies and societies is supported and sustained by a “globalization of community”—to create a wider, more expansive definition of our duties to our fellow men and women in the global village, and to ensure that globalization benefits them all—economically, politically and socially.4 Such a world demands that we tear down the walls in our own minds as well—those separating us from them, rich from poor, white from black, Christian from Muslim—so that we are able to recognize the untold ways in which we can all benefit from cooperation and solidarity across lines of nationality, race or economic development. Whether it is the area of crime, health, the environment, or the fight against terrorism, interdependence has ceased to be an abstract concept, and become a reality in our own lives. This poses a real challenge not only to political leaders, but to civil society, NGOs, business, labour unions, thinkers, and citizens of every nation. We need to rethink what belonging means, and what community means, in order to be able to embrace the fate of distant people and realize that globalization’s glass house must be open to all if it is to remain secure. This will require leaders in every sector to present the choices facing the public in a different light. They need to make the difficult but necessary case that we cannot continue to exclude the poor, the disenfranchised or those who are denied the basic right to liberty and self-determination. Or that if we do, we cannot at the same time hope to secure lasting peace and prosperity.5 There are myriad ways in which nations can act on this imperative—by opening markets for the products of developing countries; by increased development assistance; by promoting good and transparent governance; by addressing diseases and environmental problems that have not reached our shores, or at least not yet; by recognizing obligations to provide asylum; by fostering a more orderly process of integrating migrants; and by valuing pluralism as a top priority for every state.6 The United Nations itself was created in the belief that dialogue can triumph over discord, that diversity is a universal virtue, and that the peoples of the world are far more united by their common fate than they are divided by their separate identities. This dialogue must take place every day among all nations—within and between civilizations, cultures and groups. But it mustbe based on genuinely shared values. Without these values—values rooted in the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—no peace can be lasting and no prosperity secure. That is the lesson of the United Nations’ first half-century. It is a lesson that we ignored at our peril. While it may seem somewhat vague to speak of globalization based on shared values, the vision of the world it seeks to create is quite clear and quite specific.7 This vision is based on an understanding that we are the products of many cultures, that our strengths lie in combining the familiar with the foreign. This is not to say that we cannot rightly take pride in our particular faith or heritage. We can and we should. But the notion that what is ours is necessarily in conflict with what is theirs is both false and dangerous. It has resulted in endless hostilities and conflicts, leading men and women to commit the greatest of crimes in the name of a higher power.8 Friends, if today, after the horror of 11 September, we see better, and we see further—we will realize that humanity is indivisible. New threats make no distinction between races, nations or regions. A new insecurity has entered every mind, regardless of wealth or status. A deeper awareness of the bonds that bind us all—in pain as in prosperity—has gripped young and old. The process of globalization cannot remain unchanged in the face of this recognition. It must be made to benefit those at the margins as well as those at the center, the poor as well as the privileged, the shackled as well as the free.9 The global reaction to the 11 September attacks should give us courage and hope that we can succeed in this fight. The sight of people gathering in cities in every part of the world from every religion to mourn—and to express solidarity with the people of the United States—proved more eloquently than any words that terrorism is not an issue that divides humanity, but one that unites it.10 The victims of the attacks on 11 September were, first and foremost, the innocent civilians who lost their lives, and families who now grieve for them. But peace, tolerance, mutual respect, human rights, the role of law and the global economy are all among the casualties of the terrorists’acts. Repairing the damage done to the fabric of the international community—restoring trust among peoples and cultures—will not be easy. But just as a concerted international response can make the work of terrorists much harder to accomplish, so should the unity born of this tragedy bring all nations together in defense of the most basic right—the right of all peoples to live in peace and security.11 An inclusive globalization will be central to achieving this fundamental goal.▇课文参考译文呼吁推行“包容性”全球化科菲·安南1 人们常说，全球化是一个不同于以往任何时代的全新时代。
