On the President‘s Program

President Arling has put his long awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress. It provides a coordinated program of investment credits， research grants， education reforms， and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment， lack of growth， and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.

The most liberal wing of the President‘s party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an incomes policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.

The Republicans， however， decry even the modest， graduated tax increases in the President‘s program. They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy， let it through defence spending.

Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances， then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this， no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest， that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors.

So the crux is the technology and that is where the President‘s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed， it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now， we may not get a second chance.

答案詳解

1. C 　工藝技術。最後一段第一句“問題的癥結就在於工藝技術，這就是總統計劃的要點所在。”第四段：“對掌握新技術的人來説，新技術使他們大大增產，而新技術對不能掌握它的人來説，在世界經濟中他們面臨淪為永久性的二等公民的危險。如果不能做到這一點，那麼任何政府保護主義，進入國際市場都不能有效地競爭。如果不能有技術優勢的'利潤和經驗再投資，工業只能進一步落後於國外競爭對手。”這些都説明總統計劃的重點再工藝技術。

A.投資。

D.税收。只是總統計劃的涉及面。

B.經濟。太籠統了。

2. A 　更直接行動。第二段“總統的黨內幾段自由翼要求更強硬、更直接行動。他們要求用收入(税收)政策來制止通貨膨脹;聯邦財政在關税保護下，幫助重建工業。”

B.他們需要制止通貨膨脹。C.重建工業。D.保護關税牆。都只是他們要求中的不分內容，不完整。

3. A　支持。第四、五段集中了評論者的觀點，支持的理由和論點。

B.厭惡。

C.不贊成。

D.調和妥協。

4. D　歪曲。最後一段第二句：“其危險不在於計劃將不被通過，而在於左和右的思想理論家們用修正案來歪曲提案，使計劃要點蒙塵模糊不清，經濟重建計劃應原封不動地通過。”這是作者的態度，也是他所擔心之處。

A.兩黨的反對。

B.兩黨對計劃的不同看法。

C.它的通過。
