As a word it has existed since the 1960s, but the protests against this allegedly new process, which its
7、opponents condemn as a way of ordering people“s lives, brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the business model called the “globalized“ financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more th
8、an just an economic impact on the parts of the world it touched. Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business, or running financial marketsit became a process. From then on the word took on a life of its own. So how does the globalized market work? It is modern communica
9、tions that make it possible; for the British service sector to deal with its customers through a call centre in India, or for a sportswear (运动服) manufacturer to design its products in Europe, make them in southeast Asia and sell them in north America. But this is where the anti-globalization side ge
10、ts stuck in (关注). If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled from overseas. Then the creation of a globalized economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations, or a means of ke
11、eping poorer nations in their place. Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil, or that globalized corporations are running the lives of individuals or are more powerful than nations. Some say that the spread of globalization, free markets and free trade into the developing world is
12、 the best way to beat povertythe only problem is that free markets and free trade do not yet truly exist. Globalization can be seen as a positive, negative or even marginal process. And regardless of whether it works for good or ill, globalization“s exact meaning will continue to be the subject of d

16、s visited our school library to work on a “holidays around the world“ project. The children created pictures showing holiday customs and then created voice recordings explaining what they drew. The incident showed very clearly the effectiveness of student-created voice recordings. Now imagine taking
17、 things one step further and creating Podcasts in a classroom setting. The term Podcast (播客) refers to an audio recording, linked to the Web, that can be downloaded to a personal MP3 player. The word is created from broadcast and from iPodthe wildly popular MP3 player from Apple. Using audio with st
18、udents isn“t new, of course. Teachers have used audiobooks at listening centers and recorded student voice on tape or CD. Voice and music are the original media for teaching. Podcasts, however, can reach a much wider audience in a time frame outside the school days. Booktalking, an old way of gettin
19、g kids excited about books, gets a tech assistance with Podcasting. Students can do some booktalking themselves; book review Podcasts seem to be another natural way for students to share what they know, providing an alternative to the book report. There are a number of excellent reasons for using Po

Some teachers have begun to record themselves teaching important concepts; this creates an account of information online for kids to access when they“re stuck on a homework assignmen

Imagine being a classroom teacher in September who can actually hear how his or her students were reading in June the school year before. You don“t need an iPod to make a Podcast.

25、isibility RingScientists can“t yet make an invisibility cloak like the one that Harry Potter uses. But, for the first time, they“ve constructed a simple cloaking device that makes itself and something placed inside it invisible to microwaves. When a person “sees“ an object, his or her eye senses man
26、y different waves of visible light as they bounce off the object. The eye and brain then work together to organize these sensations and reconstruct the object“s original shape. So, to make an object invisible, scientists have to keep waves from bouncing off it. And they have to make sure the object
27、casts no shadow. Otherwise, the absence of reflected light on one side would give the object away. Invisibility isn“t possible yet with waves of light that the human eye can see. But it is now possible with microwaves. Like visible light, microwaves are a form of radiant energy. The yare part of the
28、 electromagnetic spectrum, which also includes radio waves, infrared light, ultraviolet rays, X rays, and gamma rays. The wavelengths of microwaves are shorter than those of radio waves but longer than those of visible light. The scientists“ new “invisibility device“ is the size of a drink coaster a
29、nd shaped like a ring. The ring is made of a special material with unusual ability. When microwaves strike the ring, very few bounce off it. Instead, they pass through the ring, which bends the waves all the way around until they reach the opposite side. The waves then return to their original paths
30、. To a detector set up to receive microwaves on the other side of the ring, it looks as if the waves never changed their paths as if there were no object in the way! So, the ring is effectively invisible. When the researchers put a small copper loop inside the ring, it, too, is nearly invisible. How
31、ever, the cloaking device and anything inside it do cast a pale shadow. And the device works only for microwaves, not for visible light or any kind of electromagnetic radiation. So, Harry Potter“s invisibility cloak doesn“t have any real competition yet.（分数：15.00）(1).Harry Potter is mentioned in the
32、 passage, because scientists _.（分数：3.00）A.can now make an invisible cloak of the same kind as he usesB.try to make an invisible cloak of the same kind as he usesC.try to invent a device similar in idea to the invisible cloak he usesD.know that it is possible to make an invisible cloak of the same ki

37、the way their ancestors didwithout electricity. That“s because it“s too expensive to string power lines to the remote mountain areas where they live. To help support themselves, the Huichol create beautiful artwork. They sell their art in cities hundreds of miles away from their villages. And withou
38、t electricityat home or on the road, they can only Work during daylight hours. When it gets dark, they must stop whatever they“re doing. Now, a team of scientists, designers, and architects is using new technologies to provide the Huichol with light after the sun sets. The scientists“ technique invo
39、lves weaving tiny electronic crystals into fabrics that can be made into clothes, bags, or other items. By collecting the sun“s energy during the day, these lightweight fabrics provide bright white light at night. Their inventors have named the fabrics “Portable Lights.“ Portable Lights have the pot
40、ential to transform the lives of people without electricity around the world, says project leader Sheila Kennedy. “Our invention,“ Kennedy says, “came from seeing how we could transform technology we saw every day in the United States and move it into new markets for people who didn“t have a lot of
41、money.“ At the core of Portable Light technology are devices called high-brightness light-emitting diodes, or HB LEDs. These tiny lights appear in digital clocks, televisions, and streetlights. LEDs are completely different from the light bulbs. Most of those glass bulbs belong to a type called inca
42、ndescent lights. Inside, electricity heats a metal coil to about 2,200 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, bulbs give off light we can see. Ninety percent of energy produced by incandescent lights, however, is heatand invisible. With all that wasted energy, bulbs burn out quickly. They are also ea
43、sily broken. LEDs, on the other hand, are like tiny pieces of rock made up of molecules that are arranged in a crystal structure. When an electric current passes through an LED, the crystal structure produces light. Unlike incandescent bulbs, they can produce light of various colors. Within an LED,
44、the type of molecules and their particular arrangement determines what color is produced.（分数：15.00）(1).To make a living, the Huichol create artwork and _.（分数：3.00）A.sell it to tourists in their villagesB.sell it in cities far away from their villagesC.display it in their village museumD.keep it in t

49、 the road. The car“s sensors check odors inside the car and monitor a driver“s sweat for traces of alcohol. An in-car computer system can issue an alert or even lock up the ignition system if the driver seems over-the-limit. The air odor sensors are fixed firmly and deeply in the driver and passenger seats, while a detector in the gear-shift knob measures perspiration from the driver“s palm. Other carmakers have developed similar detection systems. For example, Sweden“s Volvo has developed a breathalyzer attached to a car“s seat belt that drivers must blow into befor
