二、Text
I would like to tell you something
I would like to tell you something about what veterans are doing in this country,and about our feelings now that we've come back from a war we didn't really want to fight.
1.now that=since 既然
A little over a week ago we held an investigation in Detroit where over 150 honorably discharged veterans,many of them highly decorated,testified to war crimes committed in Indochina—not isolated incidents,but crimes committed on a day to day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.
2.hold an investigation: look into 调查
3.testify to 证明,证实
https://www.360docs.net/doc/7418867353.html,mit a crime 犯罪
commit a mistake/error 犯错误
Questions:
1)．Who took part in the Detroit investigation?
Over 150 honorably discharged veterans.
2)．What did the participants tell at the investigation?
Testified to war crimes committed in Indochina.
The investigation was not staged so that veterans could spill out their hearts or purge their souls; it was done to prove that the policy of the United States in Indochina is tantamount to genocide,and that not only the soldiers are responsible for what is happening,but that everyone here in America who has allowed the brutalization and depersonalization to go on is responsible.It was done also to show that you don't start making things right by prosecuting William Calley,no matter how guilty he may be; you also prosecute the men who encouraged the situation.It was done to show that there is not just one Mylai but countless Mylais and they are continuing every single day.There was an almost total press blackout on the testimony of those veterans.
5.be tantamount to: be equal to 等同于
6.stage an investigation 展开调查
7.spill out 散出
8.be responsible for 为...负责,形成...的原因
9.press blackout 新闻封锁
3)．What was the purpose of their telling about the war crimes in Vietnam?
To prove that the policy of the United States in Indochina is tantamount to genocide
4)．Who should be held responsible for the war crimes,according to the author? Do you agree with him?
The soldiers and everyone here in America.
But this isn't new to those of us who were in the war.I can remember traveling to Saigon and trying to talk to the admiral who commanded the naval forces to tell him that what we were doing was wrong.I remember going to a writer for a national magazine and telling him this was a story the America people should hear.He agreed,but said it would never get by his desk because the Army would rescind the magazine's accreditation to cover the war,and if you don't cover the war you don't sell magazines,and if you don't sell magazines then nothing happens because that's the American way.
10.cover the war 涉及/报导战争
But the press isn't the only party in this country that's guilty of this rampant insensitivity.When I went to the chairman of the board of a large New York-based firm and asked him for money to help us get transcripts of the testimony to present to each member of Congress so that we can press our demands for open hearings,I was told in seriousness: ”I don't think you can market war crimes— it's a marketing question,you know.”And then in th e next breath to his executive vice-president: “Hell,we used to do that in World War II .Christ,what's new? ”
11.be guilty of sth. 有...之罪，对…感到内疚
12.open hearings 公开听证会
P6.Why did the chairman of the large firm refuse to give financial aid to the
veterans?
We all know that this de-sensitizing started a long time ago in this country,but it is carried out in a far more vicious way with the soldier.At boot camp he's presented with a poster in his barracks of a crucified Vietnamese and underneath it says,“Kill the gooks.”The message begins to sink in.During
training,calisthenics are done to a four-count,and at the end of the four –count everybody jumps up and yells “Kill!”For the Marines at Camp Pendleton,before they depart for Vietnam,there's a very special treat; the sergeant takes a live rabbit and skins it,tearing it open,pulling out the entrails to throw at the assembled soldiers,“That's how it's done in Nam; go get'em,Marines!”
13.sink in 渗入
14.depart for: leave for
15.pull out
And so we're suddenly faced with a sickening situation in this country.There's no longer any moral indignation.And if there is,it comes from people who are almost exhausted from past indignities inflicted on them.The country seems to be lying down and accepting something as serious as Laos,just as before we dismissed the loss of 700,000 lives in Pakistan,the so-called greatest disaster of all time.Well,I think we're in the midst of the greatest disaster of all time right now,because they are still dying over there every day.And I don't just mean American boys.
16.be faced with
17.inflict sth.on sb 使某人饱受…
18.in the midst of
And the mass of people in this country literally don't give a damn.After all,you can switch off the TV news and put on Dick Van Dyke.We're not on food rationing; people can still charge prostitutes on credit cards; so what if a few lives are used to save American face in an unsaveablesituation? It should not be hard for people in this country to admit there is no difference between a ground troop and a helicopter troop; yet we have accepted a differentiation fed us by the Administration.No ground troops are in Laos,so it's all right to kill Laotians as long as it's done by remote control.Believe me,the helicopter crews fill the same body bags as the ground troops,and they do the same damage to the Vietnamese countryside and the Laotian people.It's absolutely incredible that this country is ready to accept this kind of hypocrisy.
19.on food rationing
20.charge sb.on credit card
21.save/lose face
22.remote control
23.do damage to sth.
But what this country doesn't know is that America has created a monster in the form of millions of fighting men who have been taught to deal in violence,and who have been given a chance to die for the biggest nothing in history.We have returned to this country with a sense of anger and betrayal which nobody has yet grasped.We're anger about the same things you are in terms of policy-a little angrier because our
lives were the things used to test those policies.
24.biggest nothing: the most meaningless thing
25.in terms of sth.
But we're angry also because of statements like the one Vice President Agnew made when he spoke at West Point it 1970.He spoke of how some people glamorize the criminal misfits of society while the best men die in Asian rice paddies to preserve the freedoms that those misfits abuse.Support the boys in Vietnam.But for us,those boys in Vietnam whom the country is supposed to support,this is a terrible distortion from which we draw only the deepest revulsion.
26.make statements
27.at West Point
28.preserve the freedom
It's a distortion because we in no way considered ourselves the “best men”in this country,because those he called misfits were standing up for us in a way nobody else in this country dared to,because we know that so many who died would have come back to join the misfits,and because so many of us have actually returned to this country to demand an immediate withdrawal from Vietnam.And because so many of those “best men ”have returned as amputees and quadr iplegics to lie in rancid hospitals which fly the flag that Mr.Agnew holds so close.
29.withdraw from
And one can't consider us “best men”when we were ashamed of and hated what we were called on to do in Asia.And to attempt to justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam,Cambodia,Laos or anywhere in Indochina,or anywhere in the world,or even here in America,by saying that that kind of loss of life is linked to the preservation of freedom,is to play exactly the kind of criminal hypocrisy that has torn this country apart.
30.call on sb.to do sth.
31.be ashamed of sth.
32.be linked to sth.
33.tear sth.apart
Our anger goes beyond the simple policy matters.It goes into the fact that all the things we were told about Vietnam we found untrue when we got there.We found that too often American men were dying in those rice paddies from want of support from our so-called allies.We saw first hand the money—your taxes—squandered by a corrupt dictatorial regime.We saw that Agnew had a one-sided idea of who was kept free by the flag,as blacks provided the highest percentage of casualties.
34.one-sided idea片面的想法
We saw Vietnam ravaged equally by America bombs and search-and –destroy missions and by Viet Cong terrorists,and we listened while America blamed it all on the Viet Cong.We watched while we rationalized destroying villages to save them,while we saw America lose her sense of morality as she coolly accepted a Mylai and refused to give up the image of America soldiers handing out chewing gum and chocolate bars.
35.blame sth.on sb.
We watched while pride allowed unimportant battles to be escalated into the most important stands of the war—because we couldn't lose and we couldn't retreat and because it didn't matter how many American bodies were provided to prove that point.Now we are told that we have to watch quietly while the American lives are lost so that we can exercise the incredible arrogance of Vietnamizing the Vietnamese.
36.be escalated into sth.
37.exercise the arrogance
The problem of the veteran doesn't just end with his anger.One out of every 10 of the unemployed in this country today is a Vietnam veteran.That's 22.5 percent of all the veterans who are unemployed.33percent of these are black.We have veterans who practically have to sue the Veterans Administration to get their artificial limbs.57percent of those entering hospitals have thought about suicide and 27percent have tried it.68percent of the troops in Vietnam are on dope,and the addicts who return receive little if any care.
38.end with
39.artificial limb 假肢
We're going to do something about this situation.On April 19,members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War,now numbering 7,000 men and growing,are marching on Washington—in uniform,wearing medals.We are paying homage to the dead in Arlington.We are then marching with veterans of other wars,with families of the deceased,families of prisoners of war,whoever will join us,on the capitol.And we are camping and we are staying there to demand that our needs be met.But more important,we won't move until they set a date for withdrawal of troops from Vietnam.
40.in uniform
41.on dope 吸毒
42.pay homage to sth./sb.
43.meet the needs of
We will also be returning our war medals to Congress and be demanding that the judiciary of this country rule on the Massachusetts bill which calls for the declaration that the Vietnam war is unconstitutional.We are asking for the support of all sections of the peace movement because we do not feel that this is a time to be dormant.The war is part and parcel of everything that we are trying to communicate to people of this country.The problem of Vietnam is not just the problem of war and diplomacy; it's a problem of the very basic American idealism that we are trying to question.
44.call for the declaration
45.part and parcel of sth 重要部分
An American Indian friend of mine,a veteran,a member of the Indian Nation of Alcatraz,put it to me very succinctly: he told me how,as a boy on the Indian reservation,he had watched television and cheered the cowboys who killed the Indians in an ambush.Then suddenly one day he woke up in Vietnam and he found himself doing to the Vietnamese exactly what had been done to his people and what he had been conditioned by America to applaud.I think that says it all.The veteran has been used horribly.
46.in an ambush
But now he's going to do something about it.He's going to take all the goodness of his uniform,all the apple pie and motherhood and medals in the service of his country,and he's going to place it before the people of this country,telling it like it really is.

学位英语考试作文范文精选
学位英语考试作文范文精选 The place of Science and Technology in Modern Life. Human life can not continue without science and technology. For many years, human society has developed with the advance of science and technology while the development of science and technology has in turn brought the process to mankind. So the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our fore fathers. The development of science and technology have brought about many changes in people's life. for example, the invention of television and space rocket have opened a new era for mankind. Through the use of TV people can hear the sound and learn the events happening thousands of miles away. Owing to the invention of spaceship and rocket, the dream of man's landing on the moon has now come true. Science and technology also play an important role in our socialist construction. We may say, our socialist construction is just like a skyscraper, while science and technology are its base. Without the base, the skyscraper can't be built. Therefore, we should try our best to contribute to the development of science and technology so as to provide a more solid base to build our country. Importance of Education China, as a developing country, is determined to catch up with and even surpass the developed ones. I think that one of the best possible ways to do so is to give first priority(优先）to the development of culture, science and especially education. In modern times, when science and technology are making great progress, the education of the work force is of primary importance. Moreover, many of the success in advanced countries have demonstrated that a nation 's prosperity mainly depends on the quality of its labour force, namely those who have been well educated. In a developing country such as China, our investment in culture, education and science, and especially elementary education, must enjoy top priority. This is crucial(决定性的）for China to catch up with the developed nations in today's surging(汹涌的) waves of technological revolution. Otherwise, the gap between China and advanced countries will be widened rather than bridged. Air Pollution Air pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world. A great deal of energy is needed to run the factories of modern industrial nations. Automobile, trains, planes and busses need energy, too. Nearly all of this energy is produced by burning fuels. The burning produces wastes, some of which remain in the air, causing air pollution. Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution especially in big industrial areas and densely-populated cities. They are studying new ways of generating electricity that may be less damaging to the environment. In the meantime, many power plants are being modernized to give off less polluted material. Also, engineers try to design and locate new power plants to do minimum damage to the environment. However, it may be that we still have a long way to go before we have a "clean" world. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and control air pollution. There indeed seems to be no end to tasks that environmentalists will be required to do. People will continually find new ways to control pollution. Environmental Protection Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve(保存）our natural resources and recycle（再循环）our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future. Automobiles Automobiles, as a product of modern civilization, have been playing a vital part in the daily activities of human society. Industry needs automobiles for farming as well as transportation. Every day, automobiles drive people to and from work. On weekends automobiles take families for joyful outings. And during holiday seasons, automobiles fill the highways everywhere, even in remote areas. It could be said that the wheels of automobiles move society forward. But automobiles have also given rise to a series of problems. For example, cities are overcrowded with automobiles. They create a lot of noise and traffic accidents which disable（伤残）or kill many people each year. Worst of all perhaps is the air pollution caused by the exhaust gases produced by automobiles. Some of the gases are highly toxic(有毒的）and a serious health hazard. 学位英语考试重点语法串讲-被动语态 考试重点：感官动词和使役动词的被动语态；动词短语的被动语态；情态动词的被动语态；用主动表示被动的含义。 一、感官动词及使役动词（如：see，feel，hear，watch，make，bid）在主动语态中用无to不定式做宾补，改为被动语态时要加to。 1、The middle-aged man was seen _____ out of the house on the afternoon of the murder.
