Question

Even before World War Ⅱ ended in 1945,many world leaders dreamed of a new organization that would keep international peace and safety,and encourage international cooperation（合作）.An organization was formed.The United Nations was to work to this ideal of mankind.
When the UN was founded in 1945,it was made up of fifty members.Fifteen members sat on the Security Council（安理會）.Five members—the United States,the Soviet Union,Great Britain,France and China—were given,not changing membership on the Council.The Council was given the power to settle fights among nations by persuasion,mediation（調(diào)解） or other means.A General Assembly（聯(lián)合國大會）,which included every UN member,was also set up.The Assembly could consider,discuss,and pass resolutions（決議案）.
As the UN passed its fortieth birthday in 1985,it came under increasingly sharp attack by Americans.It declared that the UN is unfit as a peace keeper and cited（援引） 130 wars since 1945 as a proof（證據(jù)）.
The UN’s supporters say that the organization is the world’s best hope for peace.The UN provides,supporters also point out,much needed economic and technical help to less developed nations.

Answer 1

CAAA
1.安全理事會的作用見第一段倒數(shù)第三句。
2.從第三段可知美國說UN不適合作為和平護衛(wèi)者，并且用130場戰(zhàn)爭來證明。
3.最后一段supporters指出聯(lián)合國提供了經(jīng)濟和技術(shù)幫助給予不發(fā)達的國家。
4.這是一個常識性試題，往往得到聯(lián)合國經(jīng)濟援助的是第三世界國家。一般來講，得到聯(lián)合國援助的人肯定也支持它。
