In recent decades, there is a phenomenon which makes us give some attention, the so-called Southeast Asian “tigers” have rivaled the western" lions" for stock clich6s that make economic headlines. The myth of American economic hegemany(霸权) over Asia in the imposing and patriarchal figure of Uncle Sam has pro vided frequent political grist (政治上可利用的资本) for Southeast Asian political leaders, particularly Malaysia’s Prime Minister Mahathir. He has attempted to forge an international reputation as a snarling tiger, but lately sounds more like a barnyard dog groaning at shadows. Without demeaning in any way the re markable achievements of the newly developing economies of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, these nations at times appear to be their own worst enemies. This is often exemplified by Dr. Maflathir, who rails at Wes tern evil whenever an international or domestic crisis provides an opportunity.
To be more specific, the recent devaluation of the Philippine and Thai currencies, and the subsequent pres sure on the Malaysian currency has inspired Dr. Mahathir to launch an all-out attack on the West as the source of the problem: He even alleges that the United States has deli-berately destabilized Southeast Asian economies in revenge for these nations, supporting the brutal military rule in Myanmar, an action which the United States seems to want inspected rather than rewarded. But by resorting to such scapegoat(替罪羊), instead of accepting even a bit responsibility, the Prime Minister may undermine the future success of the region and Malaysia in particular.
Upon further questioning, Dr. Matlathir narrowed his attack to one wealthy individual, the well-known philanthropist (慈善家), Mr. George Sores, whose opposition to Myanmar’s admi-ssion to ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Mahathir found particularity, irritating. The logical mistakes that underlie such conspiracy theories do not help Malaysia address the serious issues of economic overheating that experts have been warning about for all these difficult periods, which include large deficits and low savings to debt ratios. In fact, the recent dramatic drop in Malaysia’s stock market and currency has led Dr. Mahathir to re verse his initial approach to the crisis. He even announces measures that at least imply he is quite aware of excesses in his own administration’s spending policies that have contributed to this crisis of confidence. In the end, this kind of reaction undermines the esteem that Dr. Marathi’s enlightened leadership has justly earned.
Which of the following is the tone of this essay?
选项
A、Sarcastic and prejudiced.
B、Objective and detached.
C、Piercing and indifferent.
D、Impassive and hostile.
答案
A
解析
态度题 。文章第一段中,作者就指出马哈蒂尔经常利用抨击美国为自己赢得政治利益.在第三段中指出他认为美国是东南亚货币贬值的根源这一说法其实是在为自己找替罪羊,同时指出,马哈蒂尔此举不但不会为他赢得声誉,反而会损害他的声誉,由此可见作者对马哈蒂尔抱有自己的偏见,语气中充满讽刺意味,故A项正确。
