第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Internet communication is having a positive influence on education in and out of the classroom. The Internet provides the opportunity for people anywhere in the world to access quality educational services from the comfort of their home. The Internet allows you to have access to educational opportunities on your schedule, and at your own pace.
Classroom usage of computers in the United States began in the early 1980s, with applications limited to software packages that provided drill and practice by students. By the early 1990s, most classrooms in the United States had a computer the teacher could use to aid in the presentation of academic material. By the late 1990s Internet usage became widespread, becoming a significant factor in classroom instruction. The late 1990s also saw the rise of Internet based post-secondary educational programs that allow students to earn a college degree without attending a class in a traditional institution.
Internet usage opens the entire world of information and communication to students. Students can access libraries from any city of the world at any time day or night. Students can have 24 hour access to all materials needed to complete an assignment.
Students using computer technology and communication tools to research, develop and publish school projects develop critical thinking skills that are essential in decision making processes. Teachers need to equip students with a new set of skills which will enable them to locate, analyze, evaluate, and synthesize the vast amounts of information available. Students must become information managers.
Students who learn to use computers and the Internet proficiently (熟练地) develop competencies that are required in the 21st century workplace. Internet usage allows students and workers to communicate efficiently, increasing productively and facilitating creative thinking. The pace of technological change is forcing students to continue learning new skills and responsibilities. The reality of rapid change will challenge established instructional methods, and will transform schools into technological training centers.
1、What can computer technology and communication tools benefit students?
A．Entering libraries freely.
B．Making essential decisions.
C．Being information managers.
D．Gaining important thinking skills.
2、What makes students pursue new skills continuously?
A．The high pace of modem society.
B．The rapid change of technology.
C．The tendency of classroom teaching.
D．The development of teaching methods.
3、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “competencies”？
A．Abilities. B．Positions.
C．Competitions. D．Wages.
4、What would be the best title for the text?
A．The influence of the Internet on education
B．How to improve classroom teaching online?
C．The relationship between Internet and education
D．Why Internet communication is so important?

B
For all the pressures and rewards of regionalization (地区化) and globalization, local identities remain the most deeply impressed. Even if the end result of globalization is to make the world smaller, its scope seems to foster the need for more private local connections among many individuals. As Bernard Poignant, mayor of the town of Quimper in Brittany, told the Washington Post, “Man is a fragile animal and he needs his close attachments. The more open the world becomes, the more ties there will be to one s roots and one’s land.”
In most communities, local languages such as Poignant’s Breton serve a strong symbolic function as a clear mark of “authenticity (原真性)”. The sum total of a community’s shared historical experience, authenticity reflects a noticeable line from a culturally idealized past to the present, carried by the language and traditions associated with the community’s origins. A concern for authenticity leads most secular (世俗的) Israelis to defend Hebrew among themselves while also acquiring English and even Arabic. The same obsession with authenticity drives Hasidic Jews in Israel or the Diaspora to champion Yiddish while also learning Hebrew and English. In each case, authenticity amounts to a central core of cultural beliefs and interpretations that are not only resistant to globalization but also are actually reinforced by the “threat” that globalization seems to present to these historical values. Scholars may argue that cultural identities change over time in response to specific reward systems. But locals often resist such explanation and defend authenticity and local mother tongues against the perceived threat of globalization with near religious eagerness.
As a result, never before in history have there been as many standardized languages as there are today: roughly 1,200. Many smaller languages, even those with far fewer than one million speakers, have benefited from state-sponsored or voluntary preservation movements. On the most informal level, communities in Alaska and the American northwest have formed Internet discussion groups in an attempt to pass on Native American languages to younger generations. In the Basque, Catalan, and Galician regions of Spain, such movements are fiercely political and frequently involved loyal resistance to the Spanish government over political and linguistic rights. Projects have ranged from a campaign to print Spanish money in the four official languages of the state to the creation of language immersion nursery and primary schools. Zapatistas in Mexico are championing the revival of Mayan languages in an equally political campaign for local autonomy.
In addition to causing the feeling of the subjective importance of local roots, supporters of local languages defend their continued use on practical grounds. Local tongues foster higher levels of school success, higher degrees of participation in local government, more informed citizenship, and better knowledge of one’s own culture, history, and faith. Government and relief agencies can also use local languages to spread information about industrial and agricultural techniques as well as modern health care to diverse audiences. Development workers in West Africa, for example, have found that the best way to teach the vast number of farmers with little or no formal education how to sow and rotate crops for higher yields is in these local tongues. Nevertheless, both regionalization and globalization require that more and more speakers of local languages be multi-literate.
1、In paragraph 1, the author quoted a mayor’s word to show that globalization ________.
A．strengthens local identities B．weakens regionalization
C．strengthens individualism D．weakens local attachments
2、The influence of globalization on authenticity is that it ________.
A．weakens the authority of authenticity
B．prevents the development of authenticity
C．enhances the importance of authenticity
D．promotes the maturity of authenticity
3、In terms of campaigns for language protection, America differs from Spain and Mexico in that ______.
A．its volunteers have enough sponsorship from the state.
B．its locals are not interested in finding native Americans.
C．its youths are eager to pass on the local traditions.
D．its movements are not political.
4、Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Practically, local languages are less used than English.
B．Local languages are more important in daily life.
C．The smaller the world is, the more united the locals are.
D．The relation between localization and globalization is double-win.
