　　Nowadays, we hear a lot about the growing threat of globalization, accompanied by those warnings that the rich pattern of local life is being undermined(破坏), and many dialects and traditions are becoming extinct．But stop and think for a moment about the many positive aspects that globalization is bringing．Read on and you are sure to feel comforted, ready to face the global future．

　　Consider the Internet, that good example of our shrinking world．Leaving aside the worries about political extremism, even the most narrow-minded must admit that the net offers a lot of benefits, not just in terms of education, the sector(部分)for which it was originally designed, but more importantly on a global level, the spread of news and comment．It will be increasingly difficult for politicians to misinform the public, as the oppressed(被压迫的)will not only find support and comfort, but also be able to organize themselves more effectively．

　　MTV is another global provider that is often criticized for imposing(强加)popular culture on the unsuspecting millions around the world．Yet the viewers’ judgment on MTV is undoubtedly positive; it is regarded as necessary by most of the global teenage generation who watch it, a vital part of growing up．And in the final analysis, what harm can a few songs and videos cause?

　　Is the world dominance(绝对优势)of brands like Nike and Coca-Cola so bad for us, when all is said and done?Sportswear and soft drinks are harmless products when compared to the many other things that have been globally available for a longer period of time-heroin and cocaine, for example．In any case, just because Nike shoes and Coke cans are for sale, it doesn’t mean you have to buy them-even globalization cannot take away people’s free will．

　　Critics of globalization can stop presenting their doom and gloom statements．Life goes on, and has more to offer for many citizens of the world than it did for their parents’ generation．

　　But for her, watching isn’t enough．Last year，while in Senior 1, You met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school．

　　“I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films，” she said．So she wrote a campus(校园)story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, all in English．“I played one of the leading roles, actually I was everything in my film．I worked on it every single day during the SARS holidays,” she recalled．The movie finally became a big hit on campus，earning You a strong reputation(名气)as a DV movie director．

　　So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种), and that’s just a small part of what probably exists on Earth．With so many plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is crawling up your leg or what kind of bird just flew by．

　　A soon-to-be-launched Website might help．An international team of researchers has announced the creation of a Web－based Encyclopedia of Life(EOL)．The project aims to catalogue every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide．

　　To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist．And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientists with specialized knowledge will join．Gardeners, for example, will be able to record the dates that their flowers first bloom each year．Bird-watchers will be able to input which birds they’ve seen and where．The technology for this kind of tool has only recently become available．

　　As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects．The site will have special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods．To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it．People who visit the site will be able to choose to skip pages that haven’t been reviewed．

　　Another convenient characteristic of the EOL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you see to match your interests, age, and current knowledge．If you wanted to learn about polar bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the“novice”setting to get basic information about the animals．On the“expert”setting, on the other hand．you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature, and exploration of polar bears．

　　It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species．The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed that process．

　　Keep an eye on www.eol.org．Pages will begin to go up sometime next year, and you might find them useful for your school reports．The EOL team might have the basics for all 1.8 million entries online as early as 2017．Someday, you might add your own notes．

(1)

What is implied in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
[　　]
A．	No one can become an expert on spiders and birds．
B．	So many spiders have crawled up your leg
C．	There are far more than 1.8 million living species．
D．	Scientists have named a lot of living species

(2)

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
[　　]
A．	You can find information of all living species online in 2017．
B．	Nonscientists will be able to add their own notes to the website．
C．	The kids preparing school reports can not have access to the informat’0 n’
D．	You are not free to choose the amount of detailed information．

(3)

What does the underlined word“novice”probably mean in Paragraph 5?
[　　]
A．	Beginner．
B．	Specialist．
C．	Scientist．
D．	Pupil．

(4)

Who are the intended readers of this passage?
[　　]
A．	Students．
B．	Researchers．
C．	Bird watchers or Gardeners．
D．	People in general

(5)

What is the best title for the passage?
[　　]
A．	Exploring Polar Bears
B．	Visit Our Website Now
C．	How to Do School Projects
D．	E-book of Life．
