"The land of the free and the home of the brave," these closing words of the U.S. national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" (星条旗歌), sum up the ideals that many citizens of the United States have for their country. Ideals and values play an important role in the cultural life of the United States, just as they do in any country.
One of the most important ideals of the United States -- and an important part of the way many people in the United States see themselves -- is that of freedom. From the time of the American Revolution, when the colonists declared independence from England, the Untied States has attracted people seeking freedom.
A second ideal of great importance in the United States is that of role by the people. The framers of the Constitution of he United States strove to ensure that political power would lie in the hands of the voters, not a king or dictator. So they created a federal government composed of three branches -- legislative, executive, and judicial -- to prevent any one part of the government from becoming too powerful.
Another key value in the United States is that of the rights of the individual. The Bill of Rights is intended to safeguard the fights of the individual and guarantee protection from unjust treatment by the government or the majority. The importance of this protection is reflected in newspaper articles about violations of individual fights. Family, minority group, worker, student, and professional issues often center on questions of individual rights.
However, individuals and groups together struggle for prominence in the United States of today. For all of the importance of individualism, group identity also plays an important role in people’s cultural values.
What’s the American ideal of ruling a country?
选项
A、The ruling power should lie in the hands of the people.
B、Important decisions should be made by voters.
C、Either a king or a dictator should have a part in ruling the country.
D、The Legislative part of the government should be above the other two.
答案
A
解析
此题问在美国管理国家的理想观念是什么。根据第三段第一句“A second ideal of great importance in the United States is that of rule by the people.”可以得知,A项是答案。B项内容文章里并没有提到;C项内容与文章意思相反;D项内容与文章意思不符,原文的意思是立法、执法和审判机构同等重要。
