Disagreement marks historical appraisals of America’ s emergence as a great power at the turn of the twentieth century. On the one hand, historians have praised the maturing of the Republic, which was now able to take its place among the arbiters of the world’ s destinies. On the other hand, many writers have tried to define America’ s new floe indistinctive terms. They argue that the United States did not enter the great power game as just another player but introduced a new style of diplomatic play and perhaps even a new set of rules.
Judgments clash about these innovations. An older school of thought stresses the idealism that America brought to the world arena. More recently, "New left" revisionists have charged that America’ s contribution to international life was the self-serving notion of "informal empire," typified by a worldwide Open Door doctrine. This strategy avoided formal territorial possession but sought economic dominance of foreign raw materials, markets, and investments.
Historians disagree further about the motivating impulses of American diplomacy. Recent "revisionists" have tended almost exclusively to emphasize domestic economic factors in explaining American foreign policy, the United States sought foreign markets, the argument goes, to solve the problems of domestic overproduction and constant business depressions. Other scholars respond that international politics can only be properly understood in an international con- text. They argue that Theodore Roosevelt, for example, acted not for narrow domestic reasons but because he realistically perceived that if the United States did not hold its own against the other powers, it would soon risk being eclipsed on the world stage, and even being pushed around in its own hemisphere, despite the Monroe Doctrine. [br] The expression "risk being eclipsed on the world stage"(the last sentence in paragraph 3) means______.
选项
A、risk being overpowered by other nations
B、risk being invaded by other countries
C、risk being left behind other countries economically
D、risk being many colonies
答案
A
解析
eclipse愿意为:“日(月)蚀”,原用于描述日月蚀时日月被遮蔽现象,这里用来指“被盖过”或“被压倒”。文章最后一句指出,罗斯福对外政策的制定不是基于狭隘的国内原因。他很实际地看到:如果美国不用自己的政策来对抗其他强国,它很可能被挤出世界舞台,而且,尽管有门罗主义政策的存在,它在美洲也会仰人鼻息、被人左右(being pushed around)。C意为:“冒着经济上落后于他国的危险”。
