问题     Permit me first to thank our Chinese hosts for your extraordinary arrangements and hospitality. My wife and I, as well as our entire party, are deeply grateful. In the short period of six days, we have gone a longer distance than the Long March. We have acquired a keen sense of the diversity, dynamism, and progress of China under your policies of reform and opening to the outside world.
    More than eight years have passed since vice premier Deng Xiaoping and I joined hands to establish full diplomatic relations between our two great nations. Our hope and vision was to forge a Sino-American relationship which would contribute to world peace and the welfare of our two peoples. I personally looked upon the forging of firm Sino-American ties as a historically significant experiment.
    We faced the question in 1978, as to some extent we still do today: Can two nations as different as ours—yours one of the oldest civilizations on earth, mine one of the youngest; yours a socialist state and mine committed to capitalism; yours a developing country and mine a developed one—can two nations surmount and indeed draw upon these differences to build an unprecedented and distinctive relationship in world affairs? If we are successful, in one great step our two nations will have been able to ease one of the greatest sources of tension in international affairs: that between the developing and developed worlds. We still have a long way to go, and it is still too early to conclude that our experiment will culminate in success, but certainly the results of the first ten years are promising. Sino-American ties have become extensive, affecting all aspects of our national lives: commerce, culture, education, scientific exchange and our separate national security policies.
    I’m most proud of the large number of Chinese students being educated in our country—now about 18000. I teach some of them and see the benefits that come from this exchange. At the same time, we are learning valuable lessons from you. Nonetheless, problems remain in our economic, educational and strategic relations.
    As a private American citizen I recognize that many of the burdens and opportunities of our relationship have now passed to the non-governmental sectors of our two societies: to individuals, our corporations, universities, research institutes, foundations, and so on. There is no doubt that Sino-American relations have reached a new stage. In this context, it is important for our two societies to search for areas of cooperation which clearly add to our mutual benefit.
    In that regard, I’m delighted that Global 2000-BCCI is launching two projects in the area of public health. Although ours is relatively quite small, such activities, when combined with our common foreign policy interests and a growing commercial relationship, should help to remove the lingering fragility in Si- no-American relations.
选项 A、show that their visit is more important than the Long March
B、show that they are very busy during the visit
C、inform the audience of his tiresome feeling of his long distance travel
D、emphasize the success his visit to China
答案D
解析 细节题。本题虽为细节题，但答案很容易推出，文章大意在于卡特总统在欢迎会的致词以及对中美关系建立八年来的回顾，可见只有D符合。
