Passage

The rise of globalization has sparked debates about whether it leads to cultural homogenization. While multinational corporations spread similar products worldwide, local cultures demonstrate remarkable resilience. A UNESCO report reveals that 73% of young people actively blend global and traditional elements in their lifestyles. For instance, Japanese anime incorporates American jazz music, while Swedish designers fuse minimalist aesthetics with African patterns.

However, the dominance of English as a lingua franca raises concerns. Linguistic diversity is declining at an unprecedented rate—every two weeks, a language disappears. To address this, countries like Iceland digitally document endangered dialects, and Canada’s "Language Nest" program immerses preschoolers in indigenous languages. These efforts, though costly, reflect a growing awareness: cultural diversity, like biodiversity, requires conscious preservation.

Questions

  1. What is the main idea of the passage?

  2. According to UNESCO, how do most young people handle cultural influences?

  3. What example is given to show cultural blending in design?

  4. What does the underlined word "lingua franca" (Para.2) probably mean?

  5. Why does the author mention "biodiversity" in the last sentence?

  2. 偷换概念陷阱

    • 干扰项:用resistance替换resilience(前者主动对抗,后者强调适应力)

  3. 时态误导

    • 原文:"countries like Iceland digitally document..."(现在进行)

    • 干扰项可能使用过去时(如documented)

延伸训练建议

  1. 长句复述:将文中复杂句简化成简单句(例:拆分同位语从句)

  2. 思维导图:用"globalization vs. culture"为中心词绘制论证逻辑图

  3. 真题拓展:练习近五年高考卷中"全球化"相关主题文章(如2022年全国甲卷AI主题)
