The energy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the reckless despoiling(掠夺)of the earth’s resources has brought the whole world to brink of disaster. The overdevelopment of motor transport, with its spiral of more cars, more highway, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting , has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities, the disintegration of the family, and the pollution not only of local air, but also of the earth’s atmosphere. The catastrophe has arrived in the form of the energy crisis.
Our present situation is unlike war, revolution, or depression. It is also unlike the great natural catastrophes of the past. Worldwide resources exploitation and energy use have brought us to a state where long-range planning is crucial. What we need is not a continuation of our present perilous state, which endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.
This country has been reeling under the continuing exposures of loss of moral integrity and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in the land. There is a strong demand for moral reinvigoration and for some commitment that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the loyalty of all. In the past it has been only in a war in defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to invoke a total commitment.
This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reas-sess our present course, to change that course, and to devise new methods through which the world can survive. This is a priceless opportunity.
To grasp it, we need a widespread understanding of nature of the crisis confronting us — and the world — a crisis that is no passing inconvenience, nobly-product of the ambitions of the oil-producing countries, no figment(虚构的事物)of environmentalists’ fears, no byproduct of any present system of government. What we face is the outcome of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed lifestyle. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on an overriding commitment to a higher quality of life for the world’s children future generation. [br] What’s the similarity between the defense for countries and our own ideals in the past and this defense for ourselves?
选项
A、Both of them need a total commitment.
B、Both of them need cooperation with others.
C、Both of them need moral reinvigoration
D、Both of them need fund support.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。由第三段最后两句话可知,应对这场危机时以及在过去保卫国家和理想的战争中都需要所有人都能承担义务。第四段首句说到我们第一次被要求保卫我们自己,即应对这场危机是为了保卫我们自己。因此为国家和理想以及为自己的保卫战的共同点在于都需要a total commitment,故答案为[A]。其他三项均不是两者的共同之处。
