"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 respet 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 practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, 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 later and was added to the list of original members. It was not until that autumn, however, after the Charter had been rarified by China, France, the U.S.S. R, the U.K. and the U.S. and by a majority of the other participants that 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 center 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

"We the peoples 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 (重申) faith in fundamental rights, in the dignity (尊严) and worth of 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 (义务) arising from treaties (条约) and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote (促进) social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, and for these ends to practise tolerance (宽容) and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the instruction 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 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 coordinating (协调) the actions in attaining these common ends.
No country takes precedence (优先) over another in the U. N. Each member's rights and obligations are the same. All must contribute to the peaceful settlement of international disputes (争端), and members have pledged (保证) to refrain from the threat or use of force against other states. Though the U. N. has no fight to intervene (干预) in any state's internal affairs, it tries to
ensure that non-member states act according to its principles of international peace and security. U.N. members must offer every assistance in an approved (经核准的) U.N. action and in no way assist states against which the U. N. is taking preventive or enforcement action.
The first stated aim of U. N. was______.
A.to watch and direct peace treaties
B.to revise international law
C.to prevent a third world war
D.to assist the developing countries

Housing, even in the richest countries, is often disastrously inadequate. This could be remedied by a tiny fraction of what is being spent on missiles. Education everywhere, but especially in the newly liberated countries of Africa and Asia, demands an expenditure many times as great as that Which it receives at present. But it is not only greater expenditure that is needed in education. If the terror of war were removed, science could be devoted to improving human welfare, instead of to the invention of increasingly expensive methods of mutual slaughter(屠杀), and schools would no longer think it a part of their duty to promote hatred of possible enemies by means of ignorance tempered by lies.
By the help of modern techniques, the world could enter upon a period of happiness and prosperity far surpassing anything known in previous history. All this is possible. It requires only a different outlook on international affairs and a different state of mind toward those nations which are now regarded as enemies. This is possible, I repeat, but it cannot be done all at once. To reverse the trend of affairs in the most powerful nations of the world is no light task and will require a difficult process of re-education.
The problem of undernourishment will become more critical because ______.
A.the world has spent a great deal on preparations for war
B.wealthy nations such as America would rather let surplus grain being uselessly destroyed than use it in relief of famine
C.poor irrigation system constitutes a great barrier to the agricultural development of regions of scarcity
D.the population is multiplying rapidly
