    Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960’s and 70’s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly. A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining. In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (区分) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States. In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline. Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period. The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected. Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute. The authors of the Ambio study have found that（）

    • A、forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expected

    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.

    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。

    问答题
    Practice 4　　Europeans have long aspired to end American dominance as the world’s economic leader. The single market and the euro are widely seen as essential steps in this direction. But is Europe ready to lead? Do Europeans understand what it would take?　　Despite a budding recovery, the United States is hardly the model of economic health that it once was. On several issues—from steel tariffs to the resurgent deficit to shady corporate practices—America has demonstrated a growing failure of leadership. Over the past two decades the United States has shown what it takes to be an economic superpower—a strong currency, openness to imports, concessions in trade negotiations and articulating an economic philosophy for the rest of the world. Now that it’s apparently fading on so many counts, the question becomes: is Europe willing and prepared to do what the United States once did, in order to supplant it?　　First the exchange-rate issue. The euro will probably continue strengthening against the dollar, if only because of America’s huge and growing $400 billion-a-year current-account deficit. This means that, every year, the United States borrows about 4 percent of its GDP on world markets. If international investors lose confidence in the U.S. economy, fewer people will want to hold dollar assets. The dollar will fall—and the euro will appreciate.　　This may be a normal market cycle, but there will be consequences. Among others, European companies will see their U.S. profits erode. What happens if the dollar falls farther and faster than anticipated? Are European industrial companies ready to compete with a euro worth $1.10, $1.15 or $1.25? The flip side of the much-desired strong euro would almost certainly be a surge in imports from the United States and the rest of the world. Exports might fall, resulting in job losses—perhaps even a trade deficit for the European Union.　　Europeans are rightfully angry at new U.S. steel tariffs. But given the sheer size of America’s trade deficit, Washington’s policies are actually relatively moderate. The question remains: if Europe were in a similar position, would its voters and politicians be equally sensitive to what’s best for the global economy? Would European politicians be able to face the incredible pressures that would build for protectionist measures if it were Europe, and not the United States, that ran a persistent trade deficit? Not likely, I fear.　　America’s retreat from its leading role presents an opportunity for the European Union. Trouble is, its political institutions have yet to mature to the point where they can resolve trade disputes, say, by looking beyond the immediate and narrow self-interests of its member states.　　Europe’s chance for economic leadership may come sooner than expected. But too many Europeans haven’t yet grasped the basic secret of America’s leadership—the hard work and tough choices that are involved. That’s what Europeans now face, in this season of elections and decision making that will shape their future. Let’s hope they recognize that such sacrifices will pay off for them, as well as for the rest of the world.

    欧洲人长久以来就渴望结束美国作为世界经济头领的主宰地位。单一市场和欧元的确立被广泛视为朝此方向采取的必要步骤。但欧洲做好了领头的准备吗?欧洲人知道怎样才能达到这一步吗?
    美国虽然出现了复苏的迹象,但它已不是它以前所代表的健康经济的典型了。在几个问题上——从钢材进口关税,到再次出现的赤字,到大公司不正当的运作——美国表现得越来越缺乏领导资格了。在过去的20年间,美国显示了作为一个经济超级大国需要具备什么条件——坚挺的货币,对进口商品开放市场,在贸易谈判中肯于让步,向世界各地阐明经济哲学。既然美国明显地在这么多方面渐渐失去光彩,问题是:欧洲是否愿意、是否做好准备去做美国曾经做过的事,以便取代美国呢?
    首先是汇率问题。欧元可能对美元继续坚挺,即使仅仅是因为美国每年有4000亿美元的往来账户赤字。这就是说,美国每年有4%的国内生产总值是从国际市场上借来的。如果国际投资者对美国经济失去信心,想持有美元资产的人数就会减少。美元会贬值——而欧元则会增值。
    这也许是正常的市场周期,但是这会产生影响。其中之一,欧洲公司会看到他们在美国的利润削减。如果美元进一步下跌,而且跌得比预料的还快,那会怎么样呢?如果l欧元价值1.10美元,1.15美元,或l.25美元,欧洲的工业公司还准备竞争吗?虽然许多人都希望欧元坚挺,但坚挺的结果,几乎肯定会引起来自美国和世界各地进口的激增。出口可能下跌,造成就业岗位减少——也许甚至会给欧盟带来贸易赤字。欧洲人对美国新实施的钢材进口关税感到愤怒是有道理的。但是,鉴于美国贸易赤字数额巨大,华盛顿的政策实际上还是相当温和的。问题是:如果欧洲处于相似的情况,其选民和政治家能同样敏感地意识到怎样做对世界经济最为有利吗?如果是欧洲,而不是美国出现持续的贸易赤字,欧洲的政治家们能够面对要求采取保护主义政策而形成的令人难以置信的压力吗?恐怕不可能吧。
    美国从其领导角色上退下来,这给欧盟提供了一个机会。麻烦的是,欧盟的政治体制还需要进一步完善,以使其成员国能超越眼前狭隘的自身利益,来解决贸易争端。
    欧洲获取经济领导权的机遇可能比预料的来得快。但是,众多的欧洲人还不知道美国享有领导权的主要秘诀——其中包含艰苦奋斗和艰难抉择。在这行将决定他们未来的选举和决策的时节里,这正是欧洲人所面临的。让我们期待欧洲人认识到这样的牺牲不仅对他们自己有好处,而且对全世界都有好处。

    Practice 4　　For much of the past year, Europe has been divided over America and its war in Iraq. Now it is divided against itself. The chief culprits: France and Germany. The worm has turned. France and Germany assailed the United States for riding roughshod over other countries in the war on Iraq. Now they stand accused of being the America of Europe—a two-headed superpower that has the rest of the European Union lunging at its throat. Their supposed crimes: flouting EU economic rules, scripting to their design a constitution that was meant to be a Magna Carta for all of Europe and generally hijacking the great European project.　　Will the power of the Franco-German axis ebb? Only a year ago, the pair were at odds, largely for reasons of poor personal chemistry between Schroder and Chirac. Moreover, some European politicians expect their influence to wane as Europe expands and alliances begin to reknit in new configurations, often around specific issues—Iraq, say, or matters of trade and commerce. But that may be wishful thinking on the part of rivals. If anything, many Europeans believe, the changes in Europe will drive France and Germany closer together—precisely because their traditional nexus of power is threatened.

    法德为轴心的影响力是否会减弱?仅在一年前,法德两国互相抵触,主要原因是施罗德和希拉克彼此不和。另外,一些欧洲的政界人士也希望随着欧洲的扩张、联盟的重组,法德的影响力会日益减弱,尤其是在一些具体问题上,譬如说伊拉克问题、商贸问题等。然而那可能只是法德竞争对手单方面的希望。不管怎样,许多欧洲人认为,欧洲的变革会使法国和德国的关系更为紧密,其原因正是法德一直以来的核心地位受到了威胁。

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.

The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining. In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (区分) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States. In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline. Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period. The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected. Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute. The study published in the journal Nature indicates that （）

    • A、the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired results
    • B、lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increase
    • C、lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expected
    • D、the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow

    Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960’s and 70’s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly. A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland.
