9、 1. (40 points)BText 1/BSeptember 11th 2001 drew the transatlantic alliance together; but the mood did not last, and over the five years since it has pulled ever further apart. A recent poll for the German Marshall Fund shows that 57% of Europeans regard American leadership in world affairs as “unde
10、sirable“. The Iraq war is mainly to blame. But there is another and more intractable reason for the growing division: God.Europeans worry that American foreign policy under George Bush is too influenced by religion. The “holy warriors“ who hijacked the planes on September 11th reintroduced God into
11、international affairs in the most dramatic of ways. It seems that George Bush is replying in kind, encouraging a clash of religions that could spell global catastrophe.Dominique Moisi, a special adviser at the French Institute for International Relations, argues that “the combination of religion and
12、 nationalism in America is frightening. We feel betrayed by God and by nationalism, which is why we are building the European Union as a barrier to religious warfare.“ Josef Braml, of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, complains that in America “religious attitudes have mor
13、e of an influence on political choices than in any other western democracy.“The notion that America is too influenced by religion is not confined to the elites.Three in five French people and nearly as many Dutch think that Americans are too religiousand that religion skews what should be secular de
14、cisions. Europeans who think that America is “too religious“ are more inclined to anti-Americanism than their fellow countrymen. 38% of Britons have an unfavourable view of America, but that number rises to 50% among people who are wary of American religiosity.Is America engaged in a faith-based for
15、eign policy? Religion certainly exerts a growing influence on its actions in the world, but in ways more subtle and complicated than Europeans imagine. It is true that America is undergoing a religious revival “Hot“ religions such as evangelical Protestantism and hardline Catholicism are growing rap
16、idly while “cool“ mainline versions of Christianity are declining. It is also true that the Republican Party is being reshaped by this revival. Self-identified evangelicals provided almost 40% of Mr. Bushs vote in 2004; if you add in other theological conservatives, such as Mormons and traditional C
17、atholics, that number rises closer to 60%. All six top Republican leaders in the Senate have earned 100% ratings from the Christian Coalition.It is also true that Mr. Bush frequently uses religious rhetoric when talking of foreign affairs. On September 12th he was at it again, telling a group of con
18、servative journalists that he sees the war on terror as “a confrontation between good and evil“, and remarking, “It seems to me that theres a Third Awakening“ (in other words, an outbreak of Christian evangelical fervour, of the sort that has swept across America at least twice before). And Christia
19、n America overall is taking a bigger interest in foreign policy. New voices are being heard, Such as Sam Brownback, a conservative senator from Kansas who has led the fight against genocide in Darfur, and Rick Warren, the author of a bestseller called The Purpose-Driven Life, who is sending 2 000 mi
20、ssionaries to Rwanda.Finally, it is true that religious figures have done some pretty outrageous things. Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela. Lieu- tenant-General William “Jerry“ Boykin, deputy under-secretary of defence for intelligence, toured the
21、country telling Christian groups that radical Muslims hate America “because we re a Christian nation and the enemy is a guy named Satan“. He often wore uniform.（分数：10.00）(1).The increasing transatlantic schism, according to the text, results from _.（分数：2.00）A.terrorist attacksB.American reliance on
22、deityC.intractable reasonD.multiple factors(2).The phrase “in kind“ in the last sentence of the second paragraph most probably denotes _.（分数：2.00）A.“with something tender“B.“with kindness“C.“out of charity impulse“D.“with something similar“(3).The view mentioned in the third paragraph at least preva

But that influence is much more complex
24、than its critics suppose.B.In the world of good and evil American foreign policy is bound to be fruitless.C.The growing disparity which is created by God has been existing. But the gulf of the transatlantic alliance will be bridged.D.Religious figures have made some pretty outrageous things that cou

26、collar service jobs, which used to be considered safe from foreign competition. Telecoms charges have tumbled, allowing workers in far-flung locations to be connected cheaply to customers in the developed world. This has made it possible to offshore services that were once non-tradable. Morgan Stanl
27、eys Mr. Roach has been drawing attention to the fact that the “global labour arbitrage“ is moving rapidly to the better kinds of jobs. It is no longer just basic data processing and call centres that are being outsourced to low-wage countries, but also software programming, medical diagnostics, engi
28、neering design, law, accounting, finance and business consulting. These can now be delivered electronically from anywhere in the world, exposing skilled white-collar workers to greater competition.The standard retort to such arguments is that outsourcing abroad is too small to matter much. So far fe
29、wer than lm American service-sector jobs have been lost to off-shoring. Forrester Research forecasts that by 2015 a total of 3.4m jobs in services will have moved abroad, but that is tiny compared with the 30m jobs destroyed and created in America every year. The trouble is that such studies allow o
30、nly for the sorts of jobs that are already being off-shored, when in reality the proportion of jobs that can be moved will rise as IT advances and education improves in emerging economies.Alan Blinder, an economist at Princeton University, believes that most economists are underestimating the disrup
31、tive effects of off-shoring, and that in future two to three times as many service jobs will be susceptible to off-shoring as in manufacturing. This would imply that at least 30% of all jobs might be at risk. In practice the number of jobs off-shored to China or India is likely to remain fairly mode
32、st. Even so, the mere threat that they could be shifted will depress wages:Moreover, says Mr. Blinder, education offers no protection. Highly skilled accountants, radiologists or computer programmers now have to compete with electronically delivered competition from abroad, whereas humble taxi drive
33、rs, janitors and crane operators remain safe from off-shoring. This may help to explain why the real median wage of American graduates hat fallen by 6% since 2000, a bigger decline than in average wages.In the 1980s and early 1990s, the pay gap between low-paid, low-skilled workers and high-paid, hi
34、gh-skilled workers widened significantly. But since then, according to a study by David Autor, Lawrence Katz and Melissa Kearney, in America, Britain and Germany workers at the bottom as well as at the top have done better than those in the middle-income group. Office cleaning cannot be done by work
35、ers in India. It is the easily standardised skilled job? in the middle, such as accounting, that are now being squeezed hardest. A study by Bradford Jensen and Lori Kletzer, at the Institute for International Economics in Washington D. C., confirms that workers in tradable services that are exposed
36、to foreign competition tend to be more skilled than workers in non-tradable services and tradable manufacturing industries.（分数：10.00）(1).To offshore services that were once non-tradable results from _.（分数：2.00）A.the blue-collar job marketB.the geographic location of the Underdeveloped worlc1C.the fi

38、off-shoring.D.Outsourcing abroad has no significant impact.(3).According to the text, Forrester Research Prediction might be different if _.（分数：2.00）A.outsourcing abroad is large enough to matter muchB.the proportion of jobs that can be moved will riseC.more comprehensive factors are taken into acco
