There was yet another mass demonstration against globalization in June, this time in Barcelona. Although the World Bank had decided weeks ago to turn its planned meeting into a virtual conference, this didn’t stop the protesters.
The word "globalization" seems to embody all that anyone can find wrong with the state of the world in all its forms. From American fast food and pop music to unemployment, child labor and environmental decay, everything is laid at the door of globalization. While using an ill-defined concept as an umbrella to assemble malcontents of all people may get world attention, the lack of clarity about the "G" word cannot help the opponents in the long run. However, despite the ridiculous behavior of some protesters, they have raised many important issues that need to be addressed.
What exactly is globalization? The International Monetary Fund defines it as "the growing economic interdependence of countries worldwide through the increasing volume and variety of cross-border transactions in goods and services and of international capital flows, and also through the more rapid and widespread diffusion of technology." This is good enough a definition of the phenomenon today, but it is extremely narrow and non-historical. The fact is that globalization is a phenomenon as old as humans. One can say that globalization began when the precursors of Homo sapiens started moving in search of better food and safety. That movement has never stopped.
In every respect, what we are today, what we eat, how we live and what we believe in is the result of an amazing fusion of products and ideas exchanged over the centuries. What we consider to be traditional was not always so. The traditional chili-hot Asian food did not become "tradition" until Columbus brought to Europe the chili plant from the Caribbean and then this New World plant gradually diffused to the Old World of Asia. There was no outcry in Asia against the invasion of the fiery chili threatening their culinary tradition, because it was not brought there too rapidly.
Like the chili, there are countless products and ideas in our lives that we claim to be ours but which actually come from elsewhere. Human interactions over the continents imperceptibly continue to shape our lives. As a historical phenomenon, globalization has affected human existence the way the earth’s surface has been sculpted by weather. Eternal dissatisfaction with one’s condition and the perpetual effort to improve one’s lot has led to inventions and movements changing human life the world over.
But to acknowledge globalization as a secular trend of human history does not mean accepting the unfairness, injustice and inequality that have come in its wake. Today’s protesters are right to draw attention to these negative aspects. Certainly, the pernicious aspects of globalization need to be addressed and prudently remedied. However, protesters are wrong to think that the restless movement of people and ideas across the globe can be arrested, and by so doing solve its marginal ill effects. To be sure, fix globalization. But to demand a stop to globalization is to demand that life as we know should cease.
The author’s attitude towards protesters is________.
选项
A、objective
B、subjective
C、negative
D、positive
答案
A
解析
本题的问题是:作者对于示威抗议者持什么态度?可以定位于全文。根据原文第二段段尾However, despite the ridiculous behavior of some protesters, they have raised many important issues that need to be addressed,以及最后一段Today’s protesters are right to draw attention to these negative aspects…However, protesters are wrong to think that the restless movement of people and ideas across the globe can be arrested, and by so doing solve its marginal ill effects,可见作者既有批评也有肯定,所以态度是客观的。因此选项A属于全面概括,为正确选项。其他选项均曲解文意。
