Trump returns with a barrage of orders, pardons
【The Week USA (January 31, 2025)】
Donald Trump vowed to end“America’s decline”this week, as he was sworn in as the 47th U.S. president and issued a blizzard of executive orders aimed at radically overhauling the federal government, rewarding his most loyal supporters, and reversing the work of President Biden’s administration. In a 29-minute inaugural address, Trump declared a mandate from God, who he said saved his life during an assassination attempt last summer so he could“make America great again.”With Biden seated nearby, he said voters had given him a mandate to“reverse a horrible betrayal”by a“radical and corrupt establishment.” He vowed to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, said the U.S.“is taking back”the Panama Canal, and declared the federal government would recognize “only two genders: male and female.”The nation’s“sovereignty will be reclaimed,”said Trump.“Our golden age has just begun.”
Trump promptly began delivering on his pledges, signing several executive actions before a roaring crowd at Washington’s Capital One Arena, and dozens more as the day progressed. He ordered the U.S. to exit from the Paris climate agreement and the World Health Organization; proclaimed an end to birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the Constitution; eased regulations on oil and gas extraction; and repealed a Biden order allowing transgender troops to serve in the military. Trump placed all federal staff working on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs on paid administrative leave, and overturned a 1965 order by President Lyndon Johnson setting affirmative action standards for federal contractors. He also established a“Department of Government Efficiency” advisory group to be run by billionaire ally Elon Musk, who in a giddy arena speech twice thrust out his right arm toward the crowd---a gesture many critics likened to a Nazi salute.
Later that evening, Trump pardoned or commuted sentences for the nearly 1,600 people convicted or charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Among those pardoned were hundreds of rioters convicted of assaulting police with bats, pipes, hockey sticks, bear spray, and other weapons. Trump called them“patriots” who’d been railroaded by federal prosecutors. Top Republicans, Vice President JD Vance, and Trump himself had
previously said those who committed violence would not be pardoned. But Trump reportedly shifted gears at the last minute. He“just said: ‘F--- it, release’ em all,’”an adviser told Axios.
With his opening blitz, Trump aims for“shock and awe,”said William Kristol in The Bulwark. But don’t buy in. Despite his bluster, he won the popular vote in November by a mere 1.5 percentage points—Biden won by 4.5 points in 2020—and“is not as strong as everyone seems to think.” He’s“overconfident and overreaching,” and it won’t end well. Democrats’ task now is to“shove the presidency down Trump’s throat,” said Jason Linkins in The New Republic. He faces“a planet’s worth of problems,”from rising grocery prices to the war in Ukraine. Democrats must“make him responsible”for solving them and hammer him when he doesn’t.
What kind of “golden age” would Trump prefer according to the passage
The U.S. federal government system will be completely changed by his executive orders
America’s decline caused by President Biden’s administration will be stopped by his loyal supporters
American sovereignty will be reclaimed by his voters
The federal government will acknowledge only two sex categories: male and female.
What would Elon Musk potentially do after Trump became the 47th U.S. president
He would permit transgender troops to serve in the military
He would extend his right arm out toward the crowd at Washington’s Capital One Arena
He would make recommendations for Trump in Department of Government Efficiency
He would put an end to a Nazi salute by overturning the Constitution
What does the underlined word “railroad” in paragraph 3 refer to
force someone to do something unfairly
press something firmly
get through with difficulty
stretch something out
What can we learn from the comments in the last paragraph
Trump just gained a narrow victory in November and was too confident
Republicans should make Trump remember the presidency by repeating it many times
C. Many of trump’s executive orders are efficient and just hit the mark
D. Trump will tackle the rising grocery prices and the war in Ukraine smoothly

TikTok: Why Trump blocked the shutdown
【The Week USA (January 31, 2025)】
President Trump“doesn’t want to ban TikTok,” said Nick Catoggio in The Dispatch, “he wants to exploit it.” ___1___ The Supreme Court last week affirmed that the law was a constitutional response to the national security threat posed by foreign ownership of a major media outlet and the data it collects on 170 million U.S. users. But Trump signed an executive order delaying the law’s enforcement for 75 days. __2___ He said he’d try to negotiate a deal in which an American would buy half of ByteDance’s ownership. __3____ It has proved that TikTok “isn’t about profit. It’s about influence.” Trump just wants to share in that influence. “Forced to choose between national security and his own vanity, it’s no contest.”
During his first term, Trump tried to ban TikTok. In issuing an executive order that was later blocked by federal courts, Trump argued then that the site could enable“China to track the locations of federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage.” What changed ____4____Disinformation“is Trump’s main stock in trade.”As a highly addictive propaganda tool, TikTok“is a dream.
As “a 17-year-old TikTok junkie,” said Juliet Weisfogel in The New York Times, “I actually hope the government severs me forever from my fix.” Like most of my peers, I spend hours a day endlessly scrolling on the app and talking about what we see; ___5____ An intervention is necessary. “I cannot imagine a life without it. And yet I desperately need a life without it.”
A.So far, the Chinese company has refused to sell the site.
B.He said he developed “a warm spot” for TikTok, which was filled with young Trump supporters’ posts during the campaign.
C.Trump has since learned that“TikTok is a shockingly efficient disseminator of disinformation.”
D.One of Trump’s first acts in office was to override a law that Congress passed to force ByteDance to sell it to an American company or shut it down.
E.Trump will be making“a grave mistake”if he lets China continue to control this app
F. TikTok “has pervaded every corner of our consciousness.”
G.Under Chinese law, its government can demand users’ data from ByteDance
III. 语法填空
Trade: Trump readies tariffs on rivals and allies
【The Week USA (January 31, 2025)】
President Trump refrained from immediately imposing new tariffs on his first day in office, but ___1___(start) a short countdown _____2__(make) good on his campaign threats. ____3____(claim) that Canada and Mexico were allowing“mass numbers of people”into the U.S., Trump said that he planned a 25 percent levy on imports from those countries on Feb. 1, as well as ___4___ 10 percent hike in tariffs on China. The timing leaves just a short window for negotiations with Chinese president Xi Jinping and other leaders over a“move __5____ could throw American diplomatic relationships and global supply chains into disarray.
Despite the tough talk, Trump “stopped short of firing the opening shots of a promised worldwide trade war,” said Gabriel Rubin in Reuters. Stepping back from the brink of the tariffs he _____6____(promise) on Day 1, he signaled that an “economy-wrecking battle over imports and exports is on pause, at least ___7___ more preparation is complete.” Markets reacted ___8____ some relief. “Astute observers” have learned to be skeptical of “Trump’s most extreme bluster,” and Trump is likely _____9___(little) interested in imposing the tariffs than in “squeezing out some concessions.” Still, ____10____ is clear that “the stomach-churning volatility of his governance has returned.”
