21．（6分） 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.
22．（8分） Fifty years ago I had a young family of three boys. My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpool.
It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road, we saw something ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out, ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small, wet, and frightened creature. I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home. We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayish-brown in colour. Once home, we filled a box with torn-up newspaper and a warm towel. We named our new animal Bobsy as we had no idea of its sex.
Sadly though, on the third day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realised it was broken. We rushed to the vet(兽医), who said, “It’s only a rabbit, I’ll put it to sleep.” Our response was a very determined, “No way !”We found anther vet and told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal.
After her recovery, Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb her long ears with her front paws. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her. We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.
1、Why did Johnny stop his car suddenly?
A．He came across a friend.
B．The headlights went out.
C．His car broke down on the road.
D．He noticed something in front of him.
2、What happened to the little animal on its third day?
A．It slept on a door.
B．It was stuck in a door.
C．Its foot got seriously injured.
D．It fell off from the top of a door.
3、Which best decribes the family’s attitude towards the rabbit?
A．Considerate. B．Cruel. C．Hopeless. D．Indifferent.
4、What is the passage mainly intended to do?
A．To tell the importance of protecting small animals.
B．To remember unusual experiences with a small rabbit.
C．To persuade people to give generously and receive thankfully.
D．To make the rabbit widely known to local people by paper.
23．（8分）Hamburgers, French fries，potato chips, popcorn, and pizza. There is no denying (否认) that these foods are tasty. But often, it’s the added salt that makes you desire them. Thus, US kids are eating too much salty food.
Table salt is about 40% sodium(钠). Our bodies need some sodium to work properly. But too much of it is not healthy. The salt bottle is to blame for just 11% of the sodium kids consume. The rest has been added to food before it even reaches the table. The following shows how much sodium is packed into a typical turkey-and-cheese sandwich.
A turkey sandwich can pack a big sodium punch. Add a teaspoon of mustard (芥末) and the total rises to 1,522 milligrams (mg). Kids aged 9 to 13 should get no more than 2,200 mg each day. This can raise blood pressure, which in turn can lead to heart problems. Today, 1 in 9 children has raised blood pressure. There’s good news though. Consuming less salt can lower blood pressure.
That, of course, is easier said than done. The more you eat salty foods, the more you develop a taste for them. The key to changing your diet is to start small. Small changes in sodium in foods are not usually noticed. Eventually, the effort will reset a kid’s taste buds (味蕾).
Bridget Murphy is a dietitian. She says kids can try adding spices to their food instead of salt. Eating fruits and vegetables and cutting back on packaged foods will also help.
Need a little inspiration? Murphy offers this tip: Focus on the immediate effects of a diet that is high in sodium. High blood pressure can make it difficult to be active. “ Do you want to think clearly and perform well in school?” she asks. “Do you want to run faster?”
Zerleen Quader, of the CDC, suggests reading nutrition labels. “It’s surprising how much the sodium content for the same food can vary by brand,” she says.
1、Why do kids tend to eat too much salt?
A．Salt contains much sodium. B．The salt bottles are too big.
C．Salt makes foods delicious. D．Salt is necessary for their bodies.
2、Where does most of the salt kids eat probably come from?
A．Family-cooked foods. B．Fruits and vegetables.
C．Bottles in the kitchen. D．Store-bought foods.
3、How does added salt do harm to one’s health?
A．It makes one too active. B．It raises blood pressure.
C．It changes sodium in salt. D．It makes gaining weight easy.
4、Which is a suggested way to reduce the intake of salt?
A．Replacing salt with spices. B．Eating without selection.
C．Eating less home-made food. D．Taking much exercise every day.

Imagine tens of thousands of huge engines are pushing our planet away from a dying sun.The visual effect is impressive and goes well with the story. The story is not the typical Hollywood style: A superhero saves the earth; everyone else is there to give a round of applause. The movie "the Wandering Earth " brings a serious question to the audience: What are you going to do when facing an unavoidable disaster to our civilization? All characters in the movie are ordinary people and everyone gives their answer with shining humanity. Against all the odds(逆境)without a good fight. The chance of success is close to zero but they choose hope. It is a Sci-fi fan's feast you don't want to miss.

I'll expect spaceships in Hollywood movies when Earth is no longer suitable for human survival. But in Chinese concept, we will never abandon our home. We put 10000 engines on Earth and run away together. This is where Americans and Chinese differ. LOL
Steve 27 February. 2019
This movie has a lot of dialogues, more than that’s necessary in most scenes. And the story lie could be better. Another issue is the cast, which is almost made up of rookies or fresh faces, Though the acting is not bad, it's certainly not consistent either
Swan I March. 2019
Usually, foreigners in Chinese science fiction films are portrayed as either bad or incompetent( 无能的). Yet in "the Wandering Earth", the Chinese struggle to save the earth, and eagerly cooperate with an international force of largely nameless heroes It’s another reminder that in this depressing future human beings must unite.
Mike 17 March. 2019
The screenwriting(电影剧本创作) fits right into the grand plot of the original novel by Cixin Liu. The story, the setting and the special effects made his imagination come alive!
397、What does the underlined sentence indicate in the CJS comment?
A．In the Wandering Earth, everyone works together to save the earth.
B．In a Hollywood film, everyone helps a superhero to save the earth.
C．All characters in a Hollywood film are ordinary and great people.
D．The Wandering Earth differs from typical Hollywood films in cast.
