问题    As one of the 20th century’s most skillful political leaders, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected for an unprecedented four terms. His New Deal Program, in response to the Great Depression, utilized the federal government as an instrument of social and economic change in contrast to its traditionally passive role. He said in his inaugural address(就职演说), "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." And he helped American people regain confidence in themselves. Then in World War II, he led the Allies in their defeat of the Axis Powers.
   Born in Hyde Park, New York, on January 30, 1882, he was the only child of James Roosevelt and Sara Delano Roosevelt. His father was a cousin of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the .U.S. After graduation from Harvard University in 1904, Roosevelt attended Columbia University Law School without taking a degree and was admitted to the New York State Bar (律师业) in 1907. In 1905, he married a distant cousin, Eleanor Roosevelt, in a society wedding at which President Theodore Roosevelt gave his bride away.
   Franklin Roosevelt’ s political career began with his election to the New York State Senate as a Democrat in 1910. He quickly gained attention as the leader of an upstate coalition (联盟)that fought the influence of New York City’s Democratic Machine. His support of Woodrow Wilson’s candidacy as the Democratic presidential nominee(被提名的候选人) in 1912 resulted in his appointment to the post of assistant secretary of the navy, which he held during the World War I. In 1920 he was chosen as the Democratic nominee for Vice President.

D、Regarded.
答案C
解析 词汇题。第一段中“His New Deal Program，in response to the Great Depression，utilized the federal government as an instrument of social and economic change in contrast to its traditionally passive role．”意思是“针对大萧条，他颁布了新的法案，利用了联办政府作为社会和经济变化的工具，并与过去传统被动角色形成对比。”因此，utilize意为“利用”。
