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. "
America is generally an active supporter of globalization partly due to______.
选项
A、the necessity of interfering in other countries’ domestic affairs
B、the need of expanding its foreign trade
C、its immense impact of culture upon other countries
D、its arbitrary manipulation of global entertainment
答案
C
解析
根据题干信号词America is generally an active supporter of globalization可回文定位到第五段第二句The United States is generally seen as an active proponent of greater free trade…(美国通常被视作是推动自由贸易的积极支持者)。鉴于原因分析题的思路,故考生首先需要在后续的并列分句中寻找答案:and it certainly has enormous cultural influence by virtue of its near monopoly on worldwide entertainment(美国借助其对世界娱乐业近乎垄断的地位,肯定会对世界产生巨大的文化影响力),这无疑是前半句“美国积极支持推断自由贸易”的原因,故本句的后半部分是“题眼”。
