1 The banners are packed, the tickets booked. The glitter and white overalls have been bought, the gas masks just fit and the mobile phones are ready. All that remains is to get to the parties.
2 This week will see a feast of pan-European protests. It started on Bastille Day, last Saturday, with the French unions and immigrants on the streets and the first demonstrations in Britain and Germany about climate change. It will continue tomorrow and Thursday with environmental and peace rallies against President Bush. But the big one is in Genoa, on Friday and Saturday, where the G8 leaders will meet behind the lines of 18,000 heavily armed police.
3 Unlike Prague, Gothenburg, Cologne or Nice, Genoa is expected to be Europe’s Seattle, the coming together of the disparate strands of resistance to corporate globalisation.
4 Neither the protesters nor the authorities know what will happen, but some things are predictable. Yes, there will be violence and yes, the mass media will focus on it. What should seriously concern the G8 is not so much the violence, the numbers in the streets or even that they themselves look like idiots hiding behind the barricades, but that the deep roots of a genuine new version of internationalism are growing.
5 For the first time in a generation, the international political and economic condition is in the dock. Moreover, the protesters are unlikely to go away, their confidence is growing rather than waning, their agendas are merging, the protests are spreading and drawing in all ages and concerns.
6 No single analysis has drawn all the strands of the debate together. In the meantime, the global protest "movement" is developing its own language, texts, agendas, myths, heroes and villains. Just as the G8 leaders, world bodies and businesses talk increasingly from the same script, so the protesters’ once disparate political and social analyses are converging. The long-term project of governments and world bodies to globalise capital and development is being mirrored by the globalisation of protest.
7 But what happens next? Governments and world bodies are unsure which way to turn. However well they are policed, major protests reinforce the impression of indifferent elites, repression of debate, overreaction to dissent, injustice and unaccountable power.
8 Their options—apart from actually embracing the broad agenda being put to them—are to retreat behind even higher barricades, repress dissent further, abandon global meetings altogether or, more likely, meet only in places able to physically resist the masses.
9 Brussels is considering building a super fortress for international meetings. Genoa may be the last of the European super-protests.
选项
A、the meeting of the G8 leaders.
B、the protests on Bastille Day.
C、the coming pan-European protests.
D、the big protest to be held in Genoa.
答案
D
解析
<1>glitter亮晶晶的小物品。这里指游行用的东西。
<2>a feast of pan-European protests这里,作者将遍及整个欧洲的游行示威活动比作一场规模宏大的宴席。pan-意思是“泛,全,总”。
<3>disparate根本不相同的,无联系的
<4>agenuine new version of internationalism这里指游行示威的国际性合作或全球化(相对于经济或政治的全球化而言)。
<5>in the dock在被审判席上,处于被审判地位。这里表示“被抗议、攻击的处境”。
<6>the global protest“movement”is developing its own language,texts,agendas,myths,heroes and villains这里表示全球性抗议运动走向联合、团结的局面。
<7>fortress堡垒,即倒数第2段最后1句中的places able to physically resist the masses。
此题为细节理解题。那些即将游行示威的人显然不可能参加G8首脑会议,所以排除A。Bastille Day那一天的示威上一个星期六已经举行,故也应排除。pan-European protests包括上周六的游行,所以说coming(即将到来的)pan-European protests不符合实际情况。从后面对将在Genoa举行G8会议的描写可以确定D。
