S. citizens to take Americas of
11、ficial citizenship test, 29 percent couldnt name the vice president. Seventy-three percent couldnt correctly say why we fought the Cold War. Forty-four percent were unable to define the Bill of Rights. And 6 percent couldnt even circle Independence Day on a calendar.Dont get us wrong: civic ignoranc
12、e is nothing new. For as long as theyve existed, Americans have been misunderstanding checks and balances and misidentifying their senators. And theyve been lamenting the ignorance of their peers ever since pollsters started publishing these dispiriting surveys back in Harry Trumans day. According t
13、o a study by Michael X. Delli Carpini, dean of the Annenberg School for Communication, the yearly shifts in civic knowledge since World War II have averaged out to “slightly under 1 percent. “But the world has changed. And unfortunately, its becoming more and more inhospitable to incurious know-noth
14、ingslike us. To appreciate the risks involved, its important to understand where American ignorance comes from. In March 2009, the European Journal of Communication asked citizens of Britain, Denmark, Finland, and the U.S. to answer questions on international affairs. The Europeans outdid us. It was
15、 only the latest in a series of polls that have shown us lagging behind our First World peers.Most experts agree that the relative complexity of the U. S. political system makes it hard for Americans to keep up. In many European countries, parliaments have proportional representation, and the majori
16、ty party rules without having to “share power with a lot of subnational governments,“ notes Yale political scientist Jacob Hacker. In contrast, were saddled with a nonproportional Senate; a tangle of state, local, and federal bureaucracies; and near-constant elections for every imaginable office (ju
17、dge, sheriff, school-board member, and so on). “Nobody is competent to understand it all, which you realize every time you vote,“ says Michael Schudson, author of The Good Citizen. “You know youre going to come up short, and that discourages you from learning more. “It doesnt help that the United St
18、ates has one of the highest levels of income inequality in the developed world, with the top 400 households raking in more money than the bottom 60 percent combined. As Dalton Conley, an NYU sociologist, explains, “its like comparing apples and oranges. Unlike Denmark, we have a lot of very poor peo
19、ple without access to good education, and a huge immigrant population that doesnt even speak English. “ When surveys focus on well-off, native-born respondents, the U. S. actually holds its own against Europe.For more than two centuries, Americans have gotten away with not knowing much about the wor
20、ld around them. But times have changedand theyve changed in ways that make civic ignorance a big problem going forward. We suffer from a lack of information rather than a lack of ability. Whether thats a treatable affliction or a terminal illness remains to be seen. But nows the time to start search
21、ing for a cure.(分数:10.00)(1).Back in Trumans day, AmericansA were well aware of what was going on around them.B already showed much ignorance about public affairs.C did not know as much about civil rights as they do now.D lamented the ignorance of the pollsters involved in surveys.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(

26、here to tell me what to do. You are here to tell me why I have done what I have already decided to do,“ Montagu Norman, the Bank of Englands longest-serving governor (1920-1944), is reputed to have once told his economic adviser. Today, thankfully, central banks aim to be more transparent in their d
27、ecision making, as well as more rational. But achieving either of these things is not always easy. With the most laudable of intentions, the Federal Reserve, Americas central bank, may be about to take a step that could backfire.Unlike the Fed, many other central banks have long declared explicit in
28、flation targets and then set interest rates to try to meet these. Some economists have argued that the Fed should do the same. With Alan Greenspan, the Feds much-respected chairman, due to retire next yearafter a mere 18 years in the jobsome Fed officials want to adopt a target, presumably to mainta
29、in the central banks credibility in the scary new post-Greenspan era. The Fed discussed such a target at its February meeting, according to minutes published this week. This sounds encouraging. However, the Fed is considering the idea just when some other central banks are beginning to question whet
30、her strict inflation targeting really works.At present central banks focus almost exclusively on consumer-price indices. On this measure Mr. Greenspan can boast that inflation remains under control. But some central bankers now argue that the prices of assets, such as houses and shares, should also
31、somehow be taken into account. A broad price index for America which includes house prices is currently running at 5.5%, its fastest pace since 1982. Inflation has simply taken a different form.Should central banks also try to curb increases in such asset prices? Mr. Greenspan continues to insist th
32、at monetary policy should not be used to prick asset-price bubbles. Identifying bubbles is difficult, except in retrospect, he says, and interest rates are a blunt weapon: an increase big enough to halt rising prices could trigger a recession. It is better, he says, to wait for a housing or stock ma
33、rket bubble to burst and then to cushion the economy by cutting interest ratesas he did in 2001-2002.And yet the risk is not just that asset prices can go swiftly into reverse. As with traditional inflation, surging asset prices also distort price signals and so can cause a misallocation of resource
34、sencouraging too little saving, for example, or too much investment in housing. Surging house prices may therefore argue for higher interest rates than conventional inflation would demand. In other words, strict inflation targetingthe fad of the 1990sis too crude.(分数:10.00)(1).The word “minutes“ (Li

40、tbeat, and is a dramatic but mysterious climate system that periodically rages across the Pacific.El Nino means “the little boy“ or “the Christ child“ in Spanish, and is so called because its warm current is felt along coastal Peru and Ecuador around Christmas. But the local warming is just part of
41、an intricate set of changes in the ocean and atmosphere across the tropical Pacific, which covers a third of the Earths circumference. Its intensity is such that it affects temperatures, storm tracks and rainfall around the world.Droughts in Africa and Australia, tropical storms in the Pacific, torr
42、ential rains along the Californian coast and lush greening of Peruvian deserts have all been ascribed to the whim of EI Nino. Until recently it has been returning about every three to five years. But recently it has become more frequent-for the first time on record it has returned for a fourth conse
43、cutive year-and at the same time a giant pool of unusually warm water has settled down in the middle of the Pacific and is showing no signs of moving.Climatologists dont yet know why, though some are saying these aberrations may signal a worldwide change in climate. The problem is that nobody really
44、 seems sure what causes the El Nin o to start up, and what makes some stronger than others. And this makes it particularly hard to explain why it has suddenly started behaving so differently.In the absence of EI Nino and its cold counterpart, La Nina, conditions in the tropical eastern Pacific are t
45、he opposite of those in the west. the east is cool and dry, while the west is hot and wet. In the east, its the winds and currents that keep things cool. It works like this. Strong, steady winds, called trade winds, blowing west across the Pacific drag the surface water along with them. The varying
46、influence of the Earths rotation at different latitudes, known as the Coriolis effect, causes these surface winds and water to veer towards the poles, north in the northern hemisphere and south in the southern hemisphere. The surface water is replaced by colder water from deeper in the ocean in a pr
47、ocess known as upwelling.The cold surface water in turn chills the air above it. This cold dense air cannot rise high enough for water vapor to condense into clouds. The dense air creates an area of high pressure so that the atmosphere over the equatorial eastern Pacific is essentially devoid of rai
