No longer will a nation“s political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of cours
33、e, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It“s often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third- world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now
34、 places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world. America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advant
35、age of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess (杰出才能 ) over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just the prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper (繁荣) and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership. The compe
36、titiveness of America“s industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society not be a strong force in the process because we will.

41、eryone knows how the story of Cinderella ends, but did you ever really think about how she spent her days before she met the prince? Her daily routine was not fascinating. She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals. If someone had asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of househ
42、old work that you particularly hate?“ She probably would have answered,“ Why, none, of course. Housework is my duty!“ In the real world, however, most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes. Ironing clothes is most
43、 hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled individually, so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours! After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution, which requires smoothing out the fabric, and following the seams,
44、you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible. If you do not follow these directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end. Another household job
45、 that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don“t come out as clean as they do when washed by
46、hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes by hand, but we are not necessarily happy doing it. Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usua
47、lly must be done every day. I don“t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.（分数：10.00）(1).For Cinderella, doing household work is _.（分数：2.00）A.all obligationB.a compulsionC.an assignmentD.a burden(2).Most people hate to do clothes-i
48、roning because _.（分数：2.00）A.it has to be done by one personB.it is time-consumingC.it involves careful planningD.it must be handled skillfully(3).To avoid ironing the clothes over again, one should _.（分数：2.00）A.know how to iron certain clothes materialB.spare no care through all the proceduresC.find
49、 some proper hangers for the ironedD.pay special attention to the seams(4).Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _.（分数：2.00）A.hand-washed dishes are cleanerB.dishwashers are not so easily handledC.some dishes cannot be machine-washedD.washing dishes by hand is cheaper(5).Ironing is different from dishwashing in that _.（分数：2.00）A.it requires patienceB.it is not a daily routineC.it is not laboriousD.it demands less care十、Part B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Mark Lilla: Young consumers often have not
