32、points) Directions: In this section, there are three passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer and write the letter of your choice on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage 1 Since 1992, the U.S. has offered Israel an a

33、dditional $ 2 billion annually in loan guarantees. Congressional researchers have disclosed that between 1974 and 1989, $ 16.4 billion in U. S. military loans were converted to grants and that this was the understanding from the beginning. Indeed, all past U.S. loans to Israel have eventually been f

34、orgiven by Congress, which has undoubtedly helped Israels often-touted claim that they have never defaulted on a U.S. government loan. U.S. policy since 1984 has been that economic assistance to Israel must equal or exceed Israels debt repayment to the United States. Unlike other countries, which re

35、ceive aid in quarterly installments, aid to Israel since 1982 has been given in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year, leaving the U.S. government to borrow from future revenues. Israel even lends some of this money back through U.S. treasury bills and collects the additional interest. In a

36、ddition, there is more than $ 1.5 billion in private U.S. funds that goes to Israel annually in the form of $ 1 billion in private tax-deductible donations and $ 500 million in Israeli bonds. The ability of Americans to make what amounts to tax-deductible contributions to a foreign government, made

37、possible through a number of Jewish charities, does not exist with any other country. Nor do these figures include short-and-long term commercials loans from U. S. banks, which have been as high as $ 1 billion annually in recent years.Total U. S. aid to Israel is approximately one-third of the Ameri

38、can foreign-aid budget, even though Israel comprises just 0.001 percent of the worlds population and already has one of the worlds higher per capita incomes. Indeed, Israels GNP is higher than the combined GNP of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza. With a per capita income of abou

39、t $ 14,000, Israel ranks as the sixteenth wealthiest country in the world; Israelis enjoy a higher per capita income than oil-rich Saudi Arabia and are only slightly less well-off than most Western European countries.AID does not term economic aid to Israel as developmental assistance, but instead u

40、ses the term “economic support funding”. Given Israels relative prosperity, U.S. aid to Israel is becoming increasingly controversial. In 1994, Yossi Beilen, deputy foreign minister of Israel and a Knesset member, told the Womens International Zionist Organization, “If our economic situation is bett

41、er than many of your countries, how can we go on asking for your charity?”1. According to the passage, American economic assistance to Israel took all the following forms EXCEPT_.A. private fundsB. commercial loans from U. S. banksC. government grantsD. government donations2. What is the writers att

42、itude towards American economic aid to Israel?A. Appreciative.B. Disapproving.C. Ambiguous. D. Difficult to tell.3. What is the main reason why U.S. aid to Israel is becoming controversial? A. The large sum of loans to Israel.B. American financial situation. C. The relative prosperity of Israels eco

45、ic assistance to Israel was successful.Passage 2 What might driving on an automated highway be like？The answer depends on what kind of system is ultimately adopted.
