阅读理解 United Nations A major segment of the Untied Nations is the General Assembly, which consists of representatives from all governments that have ratified the UN Charter. As of 1995,185 states had membership in the general Assembly. Additionally, the Vatican, Switzerland, and the Palestine Liberation Organization have nonvoting observer status in the General Assembly. The General Assembly approves the UN''s budget, acts with the Security Council to select the Secretary-general and judges of the International Court of Justice, and passes resolutions on issues ranging from self-determination and colonialism to women''s rights and the global distribution of wealth. The General Assembly can meet and vote on any subject, unless the Security Council is dealing with it (or at least pretending to). However, its decisions only carry moral force—unlike the Council''s. They''re not binding in international laws. But the Assembly votes are an important opinion poll on how and what the majority of the world thinks about issues. " Important questions" need a two-thirds vote of the Assembly to pass. The question of what is an important question isn''t important. Its decided by the delegates themselves—by a simple majority. Although the General Assembly has not recognized authority to enforce its conclusions on anything other than internal UN matters, it makes its viewpoints on issues that are brought before it is known in one of the three ways. A General Assembly declaration is a broad statement of general principle such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, passed in 1948. Declarations are often put forward as an expression of an ideal, in practice they are regularly ignored. A General Assembly resolution is essentially a document that recommends that member states take a particular policy action. States claim sovereignty and make their own decisions as to whether they will follow a General Assembly resolution. In some cases, however, if many states implement a particular resolution, other states that may not wish to act on the resolution may feel themselves pressured to do so anyway. At the very least, a resolution has the effect of legitimizing the policies of those states that wish to comply with the resolution. Finally, a General Assembly convention, or treaty, has two meanings. The more comprehensive convention refers to multilateral treaties voted on by the General Assembly that, upon passage by the General Assembly, are carried back to the capitals of member states for ratification by whatever means each state uses domestically. In other cases, a General Assembly convention refers specifically to a treaty signed between the United Nations and the government of a nation-state, as when in 1956 Egypt agreed to allow United Nations peacekeeping forces to enter Egyptian territory.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】由第一段的第四句“The General Assembly approves the UN's budget，cuts with the Security Council to Select the Secretary-General and judges of the International Court of Justice and passes resolutions on issues，ranging from self-determination and colonialism to women's rights and the global distilbution of wealth．”我们可以知道，联合国大会批准联合国的财政预算，和安理会一道选出秘书长和国际法庭的法官，并对许多事务诸如自主权，殖民主义，妇女权利和全球财产分配等通过决议，文章第二段的第二句(however its decisions only carry moral force…)告诉我们，联合国大会只具有道德约束力，而没有权力去执行这些决议，所以处理国际事务不在大会权力范围之内，因此本题错误。
