Text 4 Will the European Union make it?The question would have sounded strange not long ago.Now even the project's greatest cheerleaders talk of a continent facing a“Bermuda triangle”of debt,population decline and lower growth.As well as those chronic problems,the EU faces an acute crisis in its economic core,the 16 countries that use the single currency.Markets have lost faith that the euro zone's economies,weaker or stronger,will one day converge thanks to the discipline of sharing a single currency,which denies uncompetitive members the quick fix of devaluation.Yet the debate about how to save Europe's single currency from disintegration is stuck.It is stuck because the euro zone's dominant powers,France and Germany,agree on the need for greater harmonization within the euro zone,but disagree about what to harmonies.Germany thinks the euro must be saved by stricter rules on borrow,spending and competitiveness,backed by quasiautomatic sanctions for governments that do not obey.These might include threats to freeze EU funds for poorer regions and EU megaprojects and even the suspension of a country's voting rights in EU ministerial councils.It insists that economic coordination should involve all 27 members of the EU club,among whom there is a small majority for freemarket liberalism and economic rigour;in the inner core alone,Germany fears,a small majority favour French interference.A“southern”camp headed by French wants something different:“European economic government”within an inner core of eurozone members.Translated,that means politicians intervening in monetary policy and a system of redistribution from richer to poorer members,via cheaper borrowing for governments through common Eurobonds or complete fiscal transfers.Finally,figures close to the France government have murmured,eurozone members should agree to some fiscal and social harmonization:e.g.,curbing competition in corporatetax rates or labour costs.It is too soon to write off the EU.It remains the world's largest trading block.At its best,the European project is remarkably liberal:built around a single market of 27 rich and poor countries,its internal borders are far more open to goods,capital and labour than any comparable trading area.It is an ambitious attempt to blunt the sharpest edges of globalization,and make capitalism benign.The debate over the EU's single currency is stuck because the dominant powers_____A.are competing for the leading positionB.are busy handling their own crisesC.fail to reach an agreement on harmonizationD.disagree on the steps towards disintegration
选项
A.are competing for the leading position
B.are busy handling their own crises
C.fail to reach an agreement on harmonization
D.disagree on the steps towards disintegration
答案
C
解析
细节题【命题思路】这是一道局部细节题,需要对文章第三段的信息进行锁定,从而判断得出答案。【直击答案】根据题干信息定位到第三段第二句“It is stuck…what to harmonies.”根据这句话可知“the dominant powers”,即“德国和法国”虽然认为有必要在欧元区进行更多的协调,但就协调内容却无法达成共识。由此可判断主导国家未能就协调内容达成共识,C项正确。【干扰排除】原文并未提及德国和法国具体的国情及情况,只是说它们无法就协调内容达成共识,故A项和B项原文均未提及,属于无中生有,不选。第三段首句“Yet the debate…is stuck.”谈的是欧盟货币统一问题,并非D项的“瓦解步骤”,故D项是对原文的曲解,错误。
