问答题Power and Cooperation: An American Foreign Policy for the Age of Global Politics The age of geopolitics in American foreign policy is over; the age of global politics has begun. Throughout the twentieth century, traditional geopolitics drove U. S. thinking on foreign affairs: American security depended on preventing any one country from achieving dominion over the Eurasian landmass. That objective was achieved with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now the United States finds itself confronting a new international environment, one without a peer competitor but that nonetheless presents serious threats to American security. The terrorists who struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon neither represented a traditional state-based threat nor were tied to a specific geographical location. Nevertheless, nineteen people with just a few hundred thousand dollars succeeded in harming the most powerful nation on earth. For more than three centuries, the dynamics of world politics was determined by the interplay among states, especially the great powers. Today, world politics is shaped by two unprecedented phenomena that are in some tension with each other. One is the sheer predominance of the United States. Today, as never before, what matters most in international politics is how—and whether—Washington acts on any given issue. The other is globalization, which has unleashed economic, political, and social forces that are beyond the capacity of any one country, including the United States, to control. American primacy and globalization bring the United States great rewards as well as great dangers. Primacy gives Washington an unsurpassed ability to get its way in international affairs, while globalization enriches the American economy and spreads American values. But America’s great power and the penetration of its culture, products, and influence deep into other societies breed intense resentment and grievances. Great power and great wealth do not necessarily produce greater respect or greater security. American leaders and the American people are now grappling with the double-edged sword that is the age of global politics.正确答案： 【参考译文】
权力与合作:全球政治时代美国的外交政策 美国外交政策的地缘政治时代已经结束,全球政治的时代已初露端倪。整个20世纪,传统的地缘政治是美国外交事务的基点:美国的安全在于阻止任何其他国家在亚欧大陆上取得主导地位。这一目标随着苏联的解体而最终得以实现。如今,美国人发现,自己所处的国际新环境中虽然没有可以与之匹敌的国家,但是却存在着对美国安全的严重威胁。袭击世贸中心和五角大楼的恐怖分子,既不是传统的基于国家的威胁,也不能被锁定在某个特定的地理区域。然而,19个人用了区区几十万美元,便成功地对这个世界上最强大的国家造成了伤害。
三个多世纪以来,世界政治动态始终取决于国家间、尤其是大国间的互动关系。今天,主导世界政治格局的则是两大前所未有、且彼此间保持着某种张力的现象。其一是美国不容置疑的主导作用。国际政治从来没有像今天这样,取决于华盛顿对任何问题的反应。其二是全球化。全球化在经济、政治及社会领域所释放出的力量,没有任何一个国家——包括美国——能将之置于自己的控制之下。
美国的老大地位和全球化给美国带来了巨大的利益,也带来了重大的危险。老大地位给了华盛顿无可超越的能力,在国际事务中为所欲为;而全球化使美国经济更加强大,并使美国的价值观得以传播。然而美国的强大、文化产品的渗透,及对其他国家的深入影响却招致了政体强烈的憎恨和不平。大国地位和巨大的财富并不一定能带来更多的尊敬或更多的安全感。美国的领导者和美国人民正在为如何使用全球政治时代这把双刃剑而费神。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 3 What today’s global market economy teaches many of us who are involved in political life, is that even when they are inconvenient, the laws of economics, like the laws of physics, cannot be repealed for the convenience of governments. The economic principles for national success are as difficult to implement as they are easy to state. There is a paradox in all our countries at this moment. Just as a new global economy creates more to look forward to than ever before, it also brings more uncertainty and more change to worry about than ever before. That is why the challenge of crafting economic policy in your country as in mine is one of balance. A balance between moving toward necessary objectives and maintaining stability. A balance between responding to global realities and upholding domestic traditions. And a balance between the virtues of competition as the best known motivator and driver of success, and the importance of cohesion and cooperation as sources of strength for our societies. These balances will have to be struck and calibrated every year in every country in this new global economy. These measures are what one might call the intangible infrastructure of a modern market economy.正确答案： 【参考译文】
我们许多从政者可以从当今全球市场经济中得到这样的启示,那就是经济学法则就像物理学法则一样,有一定的规律,即使当它们会引起诸多不便的时候,也不能为了政府的一时之便而朝令夕改。促进国家繁荣的经济原则,说起来容易,做起来难。此时此刻,我们所有国家都面临一个矛盾。新的全球经济创造的产物之多前所未有,让人期盼。同样,它带来的不确定性和变化也超越以往,令人担忧。和我国一样,贵国的经济政策也要量身定制,所面临的挑战是如何保持平衡:朝着必要的目标前进和保持稳定之间的平衡,顺应全球实际趋势和维护国内传统之间的平衡,以及竞争的裨益和团结、合作的重要性之间的平衡,竞争是最为人熟知的成功的动力,团结合作是我们社会力量的源泉。在这个新的全球经济中,各国每年都必须做一些适当的调整,以保持平衡。我们可以将这些措施称为一个现代市场经济的无形基础设施。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 4 The other kind of bank—the Bank of the United States was simultaneously a commercial bank and a quasi-public central bank. The First Bank of the United States, chartered by the Congress in 1791, owed its existence to Alexander Hamilton who, shortly after becoming Secretary of the Treasury, showed remarkable insight into the financial problems of the young country and the economic implications of banking. The First Bank of the United States operated much like a private bank. But unlike a regular commercial bank, it had the federal government as a partner and number one customer. The Bank served as the fiscal agent for the government, holding government tax receipts, paying government bills, performing various financial housekeeping tasks. In return, the government kept its cash as deposits with the First Bank of the United States, giving it a huge financial base. The First Bank’s federal charter, moreover, allowed it to operate branches in all states, giving it a big competitive edge over regular state-chartered banks, which could operate only in the states that chartered them. Gradually the First Bank of the United States evolved into a sort of banker’s bank, gaining the power to police lesser commercial banks.正确答案： 【参考译文】
另外一种银行为美利坚银行,它既是商业银行又是准公共性质的中央银行。1791年,美利坚第一银行经国会特许成立,它的成立应归功于亚历山大·汉密尔顿。他就任财政部长后不久就对新生的美国面临的财政问题以及银行业的经济意义显示出极强的洞察力。美利坚第一银行在运作上很像是一家私人银行。与通常的商业银行不同的是,它拥有联邦政府为其合伙人和头号客户。它充当了联邦政府的财政代理:为政府保管税收收入、替政府办理账单支付以及为政府执行各种金融保管任务等。作为回报,政府将现金存入美利坚第一银行,从而使该银行有了巨大的金融基础。由于美利坚第一银行经联邦特许可在各州设立分行,而由各州特许成立的普通银行只能在其州内经营,所以相比之下,美利坚第一银行有很大的竞争优势。美利坚第一银行因而逐渐演化为某种“银行家的银行”,把握着监督较小的商业银行的权力。解析： 暂无解析 -

第13题：
In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at an alarming rate． Most acts of violence were committed by young people． 57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age．
Everyone agrees that crime is partly a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education,living without a settled home,being parentless,sufferings from other kinds of misfortune, etc．
There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate． In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some not．Secondly, the Constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection． It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the country to get a gun． Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crime, the details of which are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read．
All these have resulted in a high frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones in murder, drug smuggling, robbery, etc．
?The author intends to tell the readers that__________．A.the United States is a wealthy country although poverty and crime exist there
B.crime has become a serious problem in the United States, although it is said to be a prosperous one

问答题Practice 8 The United States has long been known as a “melting pot”, because many of its people are descended from settlers who came from all over the world to make their homes in the new land. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Attracted by reports of great economic opportunities and religious and political freedom, immigrants from many other countries flocked to the United States in increasing numbers, reaching a peak in the years 1880—1914. Between 1820 and 1980 the United States admitted almost 50 million immigrants. Some 1,360,000 American Indians, descendants of North America's first inhabitants, now reside in the United States. Most live in the West, but many are in the south and north central areas. Of the more than 300 separate tribes, the largest is the Navaho in the Southwest. Black people were first brought to America from Africa as slaves. Their descendants now make up nearly 12 percent of the population. They once lived mainly in the agricultural South but now are scattered throughout the nation.正确答案： 【参考译文】
美国历来以“民族熔锅”著称,因为许多美国人是移民的后裔,当年这些移民从世界各地来到这块新土地上安家落户。美国历史上首批移民来自英国和荷兰。许多其他国家的人听说在美国经济上有很大的发展机会,还有宗教自由和政治自由,于是便纷纷移居美国,移民人数越来越多,1880年至1914年达到了顶峰。在1820年到1980年间,美国接纳了近5000万移民。
现在约有1360000名印第安人居住在美国,他们是北美土著的后裔。大多数印第安人住在西部,也有许多住在中部的南北地区。美国印第安人分属300多个不同的部落,其中最大的是西南部的纳瓦霍部落。
