For nearly a generation after World War II, American historians generally agreed that the suspicious and grasping Soviets were almost sol
41、ely responsible. This “ Orthodox“ (正统的) appraisal fitted comfortably with the traditional view of the United States as a God-blessed land with an idealistic foreign policy. But in the 1960s another interpretation began to flower, powerfully reinforced by an objection against what Americans were doin
42、g in Vietnam. People who held this view attempted to reverse the orthodox view. They argued that the Soviets had understandably defensive intentions at the end of World War II and that the United States had behaved aggressively and irresponsibly. Some of these critics pointed an accusing finger at T
43、ruman. They declared that he had abandoned Roosevelts conciliatory (调和的) approach and adopted a bullying attitude, emboldened by Americans atomic monopoly. The more radical of those people like the Kolkos found the roots of American aggression before Trumans time in long-standing policies of economi
44、c expansion.In the 1970s a “neoorthodox“ interpretation emerged. Historians of this school, like John L. Gaddis, still place most of the blame for the Cold War on the Soviet Union, but they admit that American policies helped worsen the conflict. They also note how the constraints of domestic politi
45、cs and the miscalculations of American leaders led a nation in search of international security into dangerous Cold War.This historical debate over the origins of the Cold War has compelled the recognition that the United States did have vital interests at stake in postwar diplomacy, and that policy
46、makers pursued those interests with eagerness. But is self-interest necessarily immoral? Is security a one-way street? Can the blame ever be exclusively with one side in a complex international dispute?82 A title that would best express the main idea of the passage would be_.（A）The Origins of the Co
47、ld War（B） Who Should be Blamed（C） A Complex International Dispute（D）American Foreign Policy83 People of the “orthodox“ view placed blame for starting the Cold War on the Soviet Union because（A）they didnt want America to take sole responsibility（B） they supported America in its foreign policy in Viet
48、nam（C） they believed that America was always right in its foreign policy（D）they could find peace of mind in such a belief84 By saying that “people who held this view attempted to reverse the orthodox view“ (in Lines 56, paragraph 1), the author means that those people_.（A）didnt quite agree to the “o
49、rthodox“ view（B） held an opposite view to the “orthodox“ one（C） considered the “orthodox“ view unworthy of notice（D）were faithful supporters of the Soviet foreign policies85 The “neoorthodox“ view held that_should take responsibility for the Cold War.（A）the former Soviet Union（B） the United States（C） neither of those two countries（D）both of those two countries86 In the last pa
