阅读下面文字，完成下列小题。

在“全球化”的历史语境笼罩之下，在“后殖民”的文化思潮侵袭之中，我们固有的汉语传统正在面临着种种怵目惊心的变化，这已是一个不争的事实。面对这一事实，不少人文学者开始了认真的反思，甚至掀起了一场“汉语保卫战”。保卫者疾呼，捍卫母语的纯洁就是捍卫自身文化的纯洁。回眸世界上的四大古老文明，而今只剩下华夏文明尚在全球独放光彩，作为这种文化的继承者，我们守土有责。激进者扬言，任何文化都是以开放的姿态向前发展，我们的母语同样也需要不断地除旧布新，以适应现代文明的发展步伐，变则通，不变则僵。

这个看似两难的问题，其实并非是“变与不变”的简单对立。事实上，我们的母语从最初的甲骨文一直发展到今天的白话文，无时无刻不处于变革之中。但是，这些变革并没有颠覆我们固有的精神思维，也没有阻断我们传统文化的自然沿续，而是丰富和发展了我们的文化传统，并使之卓立于世界文化之林而不败。而我们当下的汉语变化，尤其是那些掺和了各种洋泾浜式的杂交语言，似乎已溢出了那种“适应现代化要求”的正常变革范围，因为我们从中所感受到的，已经不是对某个词语的合理借用和创造，而是对汉语语法的随意践踏和颠覆；不是对自身文化的自觉尊重，而是对异域文化的盲目崇拜；不是科学化的求新思维，而是猎奇式的求异心态。

惟因如此，我个人以为，“保卫汉语”是一次颇有意义的文化行动。它的背后，其实包含了我们对自身传统文化的自觉维护，包含了我们对西方霸权话语进行后殖民文化渗透的抵制和消解，也意味着我们对种种盲动的“拿来主义”开始了有效的梳理。当然，在进行有效梳理之前，我们有必要细致地审视一下汉语之所以出现种种“过度变异”的根源和途径——为了表述的便捷，我们姑且称之为“污染源”吧。

    “Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the concept that image is everything, but an appealing image isn't enough when there's no substance behind it.

    First of all, one should consider how important image is in selling products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. But if the product or service doesn't live up to it, customers will be very dissatisfied. The recent scandal (丑闻) about the Arthur Andersen accounting firm showed that behind that image, it had unfair business practices under the table. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to its downfall.

    Similarly, personal consultants(顾问) can build up a very positive public image for politicians and movie stars in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both that fell from grace (体面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind it, failure is close.

    To conclude, it's clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person. But image is only half of the equation(等式). What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself — the person or product must live up to that image or there's little chance for long-term success.

    What is a big dream? Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.

The Self

    Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It's there for protecting and should be listened to. Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That's why only a handful of people make their dream come true.

    Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won't come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.

The World

    If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.

    The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.

A. Family and Friends.

B. How big Dreams Die.

C. Does a big dream show one's future?

D. They simply fail until they succeed.

E. it is the last and the most terrible barrier.

F. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.

G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

阅读下面的材料，完成下面小题。

材料一

北斗卫星导航系统（BDS）是我国自行研制的，继美国GPS、欧盟GALILEO、俄罗斯GLONASS之后又一较为成熟的卫星导航系统。北斗卫星导航系统不仅具有定位、导航和授时功能，还具有短报文通信等功能。其建成标志着我国拥有了独立自主的全球卫星导航系统，我国重要基础设施的时空基准自此不再依赖国外的卫星导航系统。

北斗卫星导航系统由空间、地面、用户三部分构成。其定位工作流程是：地面控制站发射信号到空间卫星，空间工作卫星接收信号后，运用转发器传输信息到用户端，服务区用户对工作卫星所发出的信号进行回应；地面控制站接收到用户信号并对该信号进行数据解析，将处理得到的数据发送给空间卫星，空间卫星接收用户坐标资料，将数据返回给用户，从而完成整个定位过程。“定位”“导航”经常并提，但二者的概念并不相同。定位是导航的基础，导航是定位的应用。定位是“告诉你在哪”，导航是“告诉你如何从现在所处的位置，去你想要去的地方”。导航需要在定位之后，再结合地图和算法来规划到达目的地的路线。

授时就是给出准确的时间，对一些仪器设备来说就是进行时间校准。北斗的授时精度可达到10纳秒级，与GPS相当。时间基准是一个国家安全的保障，如高铁、电网、股市、网络通信等，都需要时间同步。时间同步是指设备都工作在同一时间下，不能有毫秒甚至微秒级的差异。这样便于记录事件发生的时刻，在出问题时可以追根溯源，找到问题的发生点。

短报文通信使北斗成为首个通信一体化的全球定位导航系统。它将数据经由北斗的空间站进行中转，具有覆盖范围广、无通信盲区和数据传输加密等优势，可作为紧急情况下的通信手段使用。北斗具有双向通信的功能，具体来说就是点对点的信息交互，用户在知道自己位置的同时也能够告诉别人自己的位置。另外，用户能够将信息传递给多人，为各种平台应用提供了极大便利。该功能可以在灾区移动通讯中断、电力中断或移动通信无法覆盖的情况下，实现与现场人员的信息交互。不仅能显示位置信息，还能快速传递调度信息。据统计，在2008年汶川地震救援期间，救援队伍通过北斗发送了70多万条信息，抢在“72小时黄金救援时间”结束前，成功搜救出大量人员，体现了北斗的技术优势。

满江红·送李御带珙^①

吴潜^②

红玉阶前，问何事、翩然引去？湖海上、一汀鸥鹭，半帆烟雨。报国无门空自怨，济时有策从谁吐？过垂虹、亭下系扁舟，鲈堪煮。

拼一醉，留君住。歌一曲，送君路。遍江南江北，欲归何处？世事悠悠浑未了，年光冉冉今如许！　　试举头、一笑问青天，天无语。

注：①李珙：字开伯，吴郡人，历官御带国子司业(武臣的荣誉性官衔)，是作者的友人。②吴潜：南宋诗人，曾任参知政事、拜右丞相兼枢密使，主张积极抗金，清除奸倭，却受谗被贬。③红玉阶：红色玉石砌成的台阶，这里代指宫殿朝堂。④垂虹：指江苏吴江县垂虹桥上为纪念晋代吴江人张翰而修的鲈乡亭，也叫垂虹亭。

Saving money while traveling

    There are a lot of matters to think on before going out on a trip.  If you fail to plan the trip properly, then money will simply let itself loose from your pocket. Moreover, if you haven't planned a road map of your tour,  then confusion is quite inevitable (必然的).

    Package tours. Tours and travel agencies have attractive offers for tourists wanting to spend a couple of days on trips. Once you have accepted the package tour, all your expenses during the travel will be greatly reduced. You can save a lot in lodging(住宿 ) and traveling.

    Inexpensive lodging. Never choose expensive lodging if your tour is a low-budget one. People tend to spend a lot booking luxury hotels (豪华旅馆),  and save little to enjoy other activities during the trip. This idea is absolutely not wise when spending limited money on the trip is your main aim. Moreover, the expenses increase quickly when your kids are with you. You can use the money saved on good food and amusement.

    The peak season is the time when rates are sky high due to the increase of millions of tourists who can afford to spend a lot of money. You, not being amongst this crowd that can spend generously, must book your holidays during the off season.

    A guide map. Make a guide map about the places to visit, expenses of travel and the activities to try. While planning you should also estimate (估计) your total expenses. Calculate the maximum amount and try to spend less than that. Refer to the guide map while traveling and follow the money-saving travel tips as much as possible.

A. Reduce shopping.

B. Off season travel.

C. You must keep yourself updated with such offers.

D. This will help you to keep actual expenses below the estimated.

E. You can save lots of dollars when you don't have a credit card.

F. Therefore, book a fairly low-price lodge to save a few dollars.

G. So knowing some money-saving travel tips becomes necessary for you. 

It was _____ impossible for anyone to get admitted without the password.
