问题     In an Internet era, whether globalization means democracy and development or hindrance to progress, foreign interference and U.S.-led economic domination over the developing countries has evoked hot debate.
    Globalization is an inevitable tendency which has brought great opportunities such as exchange of knowledge and information, access to other societies, as well as economic competitions and exposure to different value systems. On the other hand, it is also accompanied by a multitude of challenges together with side effects on the form of increased poverty rates, but the effect is not always predetermined, because the problem is how to deal with it and make preparation for minimizing the challenge.
    Statistics demonstrate in the last two centuries the individual income average has decreased, and the shares of profit in the Third World also have demolished, in contrary to the developed world. There is an international distortion due to the exploitation of telecommunication technology which facilitates money transfer, which made it easier for capital flight. During the last two centuries, the number of civil wars has increased and the world became under the control of globalization and economic reform which eventually led countries like Indonesia to be bankrupted. This year in Seattle, over 40,000 young demonstrators protested against capitalism and its "brutality" during meetings of the World Trade Organization. Two hundred protesters against globalization were arrested and hauled many away in buses after they ventured into a downtown security zone, where police had restricted movement and imposed a curfew.
    "Globalization is an expression repeated by international media, which is trying to polish it for us to only see the bright side to it. We have to beware of the motives behind this ideological expression and the influence of this expression on our destiny. Globalization has proven that it is nothing but corruption and the world is against it", said Dr. Hisham Gasseib, professor of Sumaya University.
    If globalization is forced itself on any nation, it is considered occupation, because it wipes any culture or education and instead reflects poverty and unemployment. The high competition made a huge number of people live on the edge which forces them do anything to gain money, and eventually put their countries under control of other countries. Globalization is like a flat character with no dimensions, a challenge for all nations. Nations with great cultural background should not accept any gesture from the West without thoroughly studying it.
选项 A、Globalization brings great opportunity to all the nations in the world.
B、The developing countries sh6uld resist globalization because it will harm their economy.
C、Globalization is both an opportunity and a challenge, all the countries must study it carefully before they accept it.
D、Globalization will harm those countries that own great cultural background more than those that haven’t.
答案C
解析 文章理解。全球化确实带来了机遇，但是A只说机遇过于片面了。B认为全球化会影响发展中国家的经济，因此应该加以抵制，这种说法也过于偏激了，在接受全球化方面应该有选择，而不是一味地拒绝。D认为全球化对于文化底蕴丰富的国家的伤害更大，这本身是一个错误的论述。
