第1题
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: "Like any negotiation, this involved give and take, and if you don't mind my saying so that is an understatement."
The agreement drops the total to $789 billion, while both Senate and House-passed measures exceeded $800 billion.
A combination of low and middle income tax cuts, making up about 35 percent of the bill, and domestic spending, its supporters say it meets President Barack Obama's goal of creating or saving as many as 4 million jobs.
Susan Collins of Maine was among only 3 moderate Senate Republicans who joined the Democratic majority there. She says money trimmed from the bill reflects an effort to focus it more sharply to help the economy.
"It is a fiscally-responsible number that reflects our efforts to truly focus this bill on programs, and policies and tax relief that will help turn our economy around, create jobs and provide relief to the families of our country," she said.
Collins said the agreement increases spending on infrastructure projects, more than $150 billion in the proposed measure.
Republican opponents kept up their criticisms, primarily that the measure contains untargeted spending and not the right level of tax relief.
House Republican leader John Boehner voiced disappointment with the agreement, repeating his assertion that the measure will not create jobs quickly enough.
"It appears that they have made a bad bill worse by reducing the amount of tax relief for American families and small businesses, and adding more wasteful Washington spending," he said.
But Senator Arlen Specter, another moderate Republican who worked with Democrats, said action was required.
"This is obviously a very difficult vote in view of the large deficit and national debt which we have, but I believe it is indispensable, that strong action be taken," he said.
White House aides, including Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, joined in the negotiations on Capitol Hill.
Lawmakers behind the agreement hope a final conference report will be ready in the next 2 clays that the House and Senate will vote on. Approval would send the legislation to President Obama for signature.
An eventual Senate vote is expected to mirror earlier results in which majority Democrats, with help from the 3 Republicans, achieved the 60 votes needed to overcome any procedural block.
It remains to be seen how a vote will turn out in the House, where no Republicans supported a House-passed measure, but where Democrats hold a strong enough majority to pass measures easily.
House Republican leaders declined to predict Wednesday how many in their party might support final legislation.
"The agreement" (Line 2, Para. 1) is most probably a bill about ______.
A．stimulus for the economy
B．reform. of the legal system
C．funding for the educational system
D．expenditure on the national defence
第2题
听力原文：W: Does the Motor Voter Law cover all the states？
M: No.
W: Which ones？ Why not？
M: Six states are not covered by the provisions of the National Voter Registration Act. They are: North Dakota (because this state does not have voter registration); and Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho, New Hampshire and Wyoming (because they have election-day registration). The Washington, D.C. coalition which was working to pass this legislation had to compromise in order to get sufficient U.S. Senate votes to pass the bill.
W: Will the Motor Voter Law help disadvantaged groups？ If yes, how？
M: Of course. This law helps to reach disadvantaged people in several ways: It requires that all covered states offer voter registration whenever anyone applies for services at state-funded agencies primarily involved in serving people with disabilities. It also requires that all covered states offer voter registration by mail, which means that you don't have to travel long distances at inconvenient times to find someone who has been certified to be able to register you to vote.
W: What do you think is the greatest challenge faced by our democracy today in terms of voting？
M: One of the biggest challenges is putting a limit on the amount of money which goes into campaigns. Campaign finance reform. Too much money is allowing the candidates to run their campaigns with 30 second TV spots. They never have to meet people and really address what's on their minds. People then get frustrated, because the issues are narrow and the candidates don't speak to their interests.
W: What else？
M: Another major issue is third-party access. Other parties in addition to the Democrats and the Republicans need to be able to get candidates onto ballots more easily. Third parties will increase competition, increase quality, and increase substance of debates.
