To add to the problems facing the entire north-eastern seaboard, winds across the region have been gusting at up to 96 kilometers an hour, causing serious localized drifting. The road network in many places then is impassable. Most of the airports in the region have been closed, with hundreds of flights cancelled.

Since then, the fund has helped improve the health of millions of people in developing countries.

"We the people of the U. N. determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war which twice in our lifetime has brought untold suffering to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations, large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, and for these ends, to practise tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of economic and social advancement of all peoples, have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims."
The name "United Nations" is accredited to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the first group of representatives of member states met and signed a declaration of common intent on New Year's Day in 1942. Representatives of five powers worked together to draw up proposals, completed at Dumbarton Oaks in 1944. These proposals, modified after deliberation at the conference on International Organization in San Francisco which began in April 1945, were finally agreed on and signed as the U. N. charter by 50 countries on 26 June 1945. Poland, not represented at the conference, signed the Charter later and was added to the list of original members. It was not until that autumn, however, after the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the U. S. S. R. U., the U. K. and the U.S. and by a majority of the other participants that the U. N. officially came into existence. The date was 24 October, now universally celebrated as United Nations Day.
The essential functions of the U. N. are to maintain international peace and security, to develop friendly relations among nations, to cooperate internationally in solving international economic, social, cultural and human problems, promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and to be a centre for co-ordinating the actions of nations on attaining these common ends.
No country takes precedence over another in the U.N. Each member's rights and obligations are the same. All must contribute to the peaceful settlement of international dispute, and members have pledged to refrain from the threat or use of force against other states.
Under its Charter, the first stated aim of the U.N. was ______.
A．to promote social progress
B．to prevent a third world war
C．to revise international laws
D．to maintain international peace

听力原文： One winter day in 1891 a class at a training school in Massachusetts U. S. A. , went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of the young men felt they were in for a boring time. But their teacher, James Nesmith had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on a new game that would have the excitement of American football. Nesmith showed the men a basket he had hung at each end of the gym and explained that they were going to use a round European football. At first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing. "Pass! Pass!" Nesmith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly they began to understand what was wanted of them.
The problem with the new game, which was soon called basketball, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary food baskets with bottoms and the ball of course stayed inside. At first someone had to climb up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then and basketball has become one of the world's most popular sports.

Since Davos gathers together a sample of global leaders, business executives and social activists, it's a good place to take the world's pulse. Last year's Davos was dominated by three big ideas. The first was put forth by Bush officials that the U. S. not only was ready to invade Iraq largely on its own, but could also pull off regime change there without the help of either the U. N. or major al- lies—France, Germany and Russia.
This year, Vice President Dick Cheney, who, more than any Bush official resisted cooperation with the U.N. in the Iraq war, made a firm, low-key defense of the U. S. policy. But alter Mr. Cheney spoke, a senior administration official privately told reporters that the Bush team was ready to give the U.N. pretty much whatever authority it wanted to help oversee Iraq's transition to elections—and the only thing standing in the way was whether the U. N. would assume the risks. It turns out that while there is no regime in the world the U.S. can't destroy on its own, there is also none that it can rebuild on its own.
Last year, France was indulging its illusion that it could galvanize all the antiwar, anti-U. S. sentiment to make itself the great global Uncola to America's Coca-Cola—the new balancer to America. It would be a win—win for President Jacques Chirac. He would enhance his political stature at home by opposing America and make France the supreme power in Europe, marginalizing Britain.
A year later, France was not only unable to stop the war, but it paid a big price in Europe. It turned out to be a lose—lose for France, remarked Peter Schwartz, head of the Global Business Net- work. By going to such lengths to oppose the U. S. , and by denouncing those Europeans who sided with America, France drove pro-U. S. Europeans, like Poland and Spain, deeper into the U. S. camp, noted Mr. Schwartz. This, in turn, gave Poland and Spain more backbone to resist German and French demands for greater control over E. U. affairs.
The author write this passage mainly to______.
A．bring up some interesting facts.
B．criticize some irresponsible words.
C．introduce some political figures.
D．point out the future of the world's political situation.

B. McDonald' s CEO has new surgery
The chief executive of McDonald's Corp. is recuperating after another surgery, the world's largest fast-food company said Saturday.

C. Google governance flawed
Google Inc. ranks lower in corporate governance than any company in the Standard Poor's 500 stock index, according to influential proxy adviser Institutional Shareholder Services, said a newspaper report published Monday. ISS, which advises shareholders on how to vote, found 21 weaknesses in the governance practices of Mountain View, Calif.- based Google, which is expected to join the S＆P 500, said the Financial Times. These flaws, it said, include a dual-class capital structure that gives effective control to insiders, too few outside directors and a lack of stock ownership guidelines for executives and independent directors. The adviser also found problematic of the company's compensation plan that lets Google reprice stock options if the stock price falls, as well as loans to company insiders.
D. US Airways talks with pilots collapse
Negotiations between US Airways and its pilots union over a new round of steep concessions collapsed on Monday, heightening pressure on the carrier as it tries to avert insolvency. Jack Stephan, a spokesman for the company's chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association, said more than a week of discussions between the two sides at the airline's Arlington, Va. , headquarters yielded little progress. "Since the beginning of these talks, we have witnessed a disturbing trend by the company to seemingly dismiss several significant proposals from our pilot negotiators," Stephan said. "Instead, management has responded by 'piling on' additional demands to their counterproposals."
