Until January 1st, Congress and the President have to agree on the plan to______.
US government is getting closer to the edge of the fiscal cliff.(23)Congress and the President have until January 1st to agree on the plan to lower the country’s debt. If they don’t come up with a deal, we know that taxes will go up for all Americans, and government spending will also get cut. Ted Rowlands looks at what that might mean for one city.
(24)First and foremost, if Congress doesn’t act, defense spending will be slashed by 55 million next year and 450 billion over ten years. Next, is healthcare. If Congress doesn’t act, medicare payment will initially drop by two percent. There is a cut to public education, which the National School Board Association said could have a profound effect if Congress doesn’t act. And there are potential cuts to social services. More than 12 percent of Rock Island’s population lives below the poverty line. And of course, there are the tax hikes.
选项
A、Medicare payment will drop sharply by 10%.
B、Many cities will be able to pay its debts.
C、Defense spending will be decreased.
D、More families will go hiking.
答案
C
解析
本题考查对新闻细节的捕捉。由句(24)可知,如果国会和总统不采取有效措施的话,首当其冲受到影响的就是国防开支,下一年度美国的国防开支将减少550亿美元。因此C为正确答案。
