题文
On Sept. 11, an unseen enemy launched an attack on economic, military and governmentalLandmarks(标志) of the United States.
Beyond the tremendous(巨大的) loss of innocent lives and physical property, the attack was clearly aimed at the ideals of America—our values and the economic system that has made the U.S. economy the envy of the world.
Those responsible for these acts portray(描绘)the United States as the embodiment(化身)of all that is evil
With globalization and the worldwide economy it has spawned. They use the failures of globalization as an excuse to exploit their millions of constituents in the underdeveloped world.
Sometime soon, the U.S. military will strike back against those who it is determined have committed these acts. A military response is appropriate – some would say overdue(期待已久). But even if the military objective is achieved, that alone will not get to the heart of the matter.
It is crucial that the U.S. economy return to full speed ahead and continue to be the driving force behind expansion of the global economy.
Globalization, or at least the present phase of it, generally is viewed as having started with the end of the Cold War in 1989. And for all its shortcomings, the free flow of goods, services, capital and labor across the borders of the world’s trading nations — the process that has come to be called globalization—still offers the best chance to fulfill the dreams of so many of the world’s poor.

解析
9.11事件带来的远不止是无辜的生命和实际的财产损失，袭击目标还有美国这个国家。--- 我们的价值观和使美国的经济成为世界人羡慕的经济制度。因为他们认为一切罪恶的东西都被认为与美国有关联。军队的反应是恰当的---尽管有人认为为时已晚。但是即使军队的目标实现了，仅仅这些也不会触及问题的核心。经济全球化是全球贸易国之间进行免费的货物流动，服务，资本和劳动力在世界的贸易国边界进行。全球化还给许多世界上的穷人完成梦想的绝佳机会。由此会带动世界经济的膨胀发展。
小题1:细节理解题。第二段意为：远不止是无辜的生命和实际的财产损失，袭击目标在美国这个国家。--- 我们的价值观和使美国的经济成为世界人羡慕的经济制度。由此判断九·一一袭击给美国造成了各方面的巨大损失。B项可以包括其他选项的内容。故选B。
小题2:细节理解题。第三段意为：那些对此事负责的人把美国看作是一切罪恶的化身。相当于说：看不见的敌人发动袭击是因为：他们认为一切罪恶的东西都被认为与美国有关联。故选C。
小题3:推理判断题。第五段意为：很快，美国军队就回击那些承认犯下对这些行为负责的人。军队的反应是恰当的---尽管有人认为为时已晚。但是即使军队的目标实现了，仅仅这些也不会触及问题的核心。由此判断作者认为军队的回应对事情的解决没有意义。故选B。
小题4:细节理解题。最后一段介绍经济全球化是全球贸易国之间进行免费的货物流动，服务，资本和劳动力在世界的贸易国边界进行。全球化还给许多世界上的穷人完成梦想的绝佳机会。由此会带动世界经济的膨胀发展。故选A。
小题5:段落归纳题。本段主要讨论了经济因素在世界经事物中起着很重要的作用。通读全文尤其是最后一段可知本文的核心词是经济。故选A。
