)目標(biāo)不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)，目前關(guān)塔那摩灣的設(shè)施依然在運(yùn)行。④兩黨人士都對(duì)奧巴馬很不滿，覺(jué)得他沒(méi)有采取行動(dòng)，沒(méi)有信守諾言，或是當(dāng)初就不該提出這個(gè)建議。（三）雖然尋求不可捉摸的目標(biāo)有諸多缺陷，但是如果大家都同意，就應(yīng)該去追求這個(gè)目標(biāo)：1）如果這個(gè)目標(biāo)達(dá)成了，將給社會(huì)造福。2）但是在追求這個(gè)目標(biāo)之前，政治家必須保證大家都贊同這個(gè)做法。①例如，美國(guó)社會(huì)保障署的建立。②羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)建立它是為了給退休工人提供幫助。③有人反對(duì)，認(rèn)為會(huì)造成失業(yè)，但是最終基本達(dá)成一致。第三部分：[總述]總結(jié)并重申論點(diǎn)。1）政治家應(yīng)該尋求一致，避免冒險(xiǎn)追求難以捉摸的目標(biāo)。2）有時(shí)兩個(gè)目標(biāo)可以同時(shí)實(shí)現(xiàn)。2、Thesurestindicatorofagreatnationisrepresentednotbytheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists,butbythegeneralwelfareofitspeople.Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththestatementandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldconsiderwaysinwhichthestatementmightormightnotholdtrueandexplainhowtheseconsiderationsshapeyourposition.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：Greatnessexistsinmyriadforms,andcanthereforebejudgedinanumberofways.Tobegreat,anentitymustexcelatitscallingorpurpose.Inthecaseofindividualspastandpresent,itisfittingtoascribegreatnessbasedonachievementsinleadership,arts,andsciences.Fornations,however,thereisonlyonewaytoachievegreatness.Becauseanationshouldonlyexistforthewelfareofitspeople,thegreatnessofanationhingesonthisindicatoralone.Hence,Iagreewiththestatementthatthesurestindicatorofagreatnationisrepresentednotbytheachievementsofitsrulers,artists,orscientists,butbythegeneralwelfareofitspeople.Thedefiningargumentinsupportofthestatementisthatinordertobeconsideredgreatatsomethingthenonemustachievegreatnessinthatspherealone.Aspreviouslystated,nationshavebeenformedsinceantiquityforonereasonalone:generalwelfareisincreasedwhenindividualsbandtogether.Inthepast,justastoday,theburdensomestruggleforlifeislessenedwhengroupsofindividualsworktogetherforthecommongood.Onthecontrary,itwouldbeabsurdtoinsinuatethatnationswereformed,ratherthanforgeneralwelfare,inordertoallowindividualartistsorscientiststhefreedomtochurnoutnoteworthyachievements.Accordingly,itshouldthenbeconsideredequallyabsurdtojudgethegreatnessofanationprimarilyonindividualachievementwhennurturingindividualachievementhasalwaysbeensecondarytowelfare.What’smore,athoroughexaminationoftheissuerevealsthatindividualachievementsareonlyconsideredgreatfortheirabilitytosupportthegeneralwelfareofthepeople.Considerthatforeachtypeofindividualachievementlistedabove,onlythoserulers,artists,andscientistswhoseachievementsadvancethegeneralwelfareofthenationalpublicareconsideredgreat.Forrulers,greatnesscanbeattainedbyadvancingpublicwelfarethroughimprovedpolicies,victoryinwar,andthesecuringofnecessaryresources.Similarly,artistsareonlyconsideredtrulygreatwhentheirworkreachesalargeportionofthepublic,whereartiscapableofimprovingpublicwelfarebyprovidinginspirationandcomfort.Thetruthinthisassertionismadeevidentbythenumerouscasesofartistsonlyachievinggreatnessposthumouslyuponthewidedisseminationoftheirwork.Equally,scientistsmustalsofurtherthewelfareofanation’spublicinordertobecalledgreat.Forinstance,BenjaminFranklinisahouseholdnameforhisscientificworkwithelectricity,aswellashisinventionsfurtheringpublicwelfareasaleader.Eachofthesecasesmakesitabundantlyclearthatunderlyingindividualgreatnessissupportforthegeneralwelfareofthepublic,whichisthetrueindicatorofthegreatnessofanation.Theexamplesaboveeffectivelycountercommonlyperceivedoppositiontotheargument.Forinstance,disagreementwiththestatementmaybeexpressedintheviewthatnationssuchastheUnitedStatesorRussiaachievedgreatnessbecauseofachievementsinspaceexploration.Asmentionedabove,therealachievementinspaceexplorationwaspublicinspirationaswellasincreasedscientificknowledgeofbenefittopublicwelfare.Detractorsofthestatementmayalsocontendthatnationscanbeconsideredgreatfortheachievementsofitsrulers.However,therearefew,ifany,greatleaderswhoachievedgreatnessbyanymeansotherthanadvancingthewelfareofthepublic.Certainly,leaderslikeKimJong-ilofNorthKoreaandFidelCastroofCubahaveachievedgreatpersonalsuccess,buttheircontributionstothegeneralwelfareoftheirnations’peoplehavebeenfew.Therefore,despitetheirpersonalsuccessesineffectivelyholdingpowerfordecades,fewpeopleconsiderthenationstheyruleasgreat.Incontrast,WinstonChurchillwillforeverbeconsideredasagreatleaderforhisdefenseofthepeopleofEnglandandcontinentalEuropeinthesecondWorldWar.Toconclude,greatnessrequiresanentitytosucceedinitspurpose.Itfollowsthatbecausenationsshouldexistonlytofurtherthewelfareofthegeneralpublic,publicwelfareistheonlyindicatorofthegreatnessofanation.Allothertypesofachievement,whetherleadership,arts,orscience,areonlyconsideredgreatfortheirroleinsupportingtheprimaryroleofprovidingforpublicwelfare.知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：暫無(wú)解析3、Criticaljudgmentofworkinanygivenfieldhaslittlevalueunlessitcomesfromsomeonewhoisanexpertinthatfield.Writearesponseinwhichyoudiscusstheextenttowhichyouagreeordisagreewiththestatementandexplainyourreasoningforthepositionyoutake.Indevelopingandsupportingyourposition,youshouldconsiderwaysinwhichthestatementm
