The euro zone, which has adopted the euro as its sole legal currency, is now 15 members large and has a combined population of around 320 million. However, many more people are directly affected by the euro, from would-be members whose currencies are already nailed to it, to countries like Montenegro and Kosovo whose effective national currency is the euro. France’s former African colonies also nail their common currency to Europe’s. That means around 500 million people rely on the euro or euro-nailed currencies.
The euro’s tenth anniversary will see the euro zone take on a 16th member, Slovakia. A further eight other central and eastern European countries have set themselves the goal of joining within the next six years, including Poland, whose political establishment dropped its longtime opposition after a recent run (挤兑) on the Polish zloty (the basic unit of money in Poland). The euro has found some other unexpected converts, too, thanks to the financial crisis. The Danes voted against joining the euro zone in 2000, but they are set to hold another referendum in March. Iceland—not even an E.U. member—is pondering "unilateral euroization" (单边欧元化) after seeing its krona plunge nearly 80% against the euro between September and October.
And the biggest prize of all, Britain, is said to be warming to the euro. Barroso recently claimed that London is "closer than ever before" to euro zone entry and that "the people who matter in Britain" think it should join. That may be overstating things a bit, but a report by research group Chatham House warns that as the euro zone grows, the U.K. risks being excluded from "deeper intra-E.U. (欧盟内部的) economic consultation and coordination, including in areas of significant national interest, such as financial market regulation."
It doesn’t help that the pound is losing its energy. Two years ago, one euro was worth just 0.65. Now, humbled by bank crashes, government aids and a collapsing housing market that has forced massive interest rate cuts, Europe’s currency is within a pence or two of difference from the pound. "The debate has changed from a total fantasy in the U.K.," says Jean Pisani-Ferry, director of Brussels-based think tank Bruegel. "The political obstacles still remain strong, but it has changed the perception of the U.K as the perfect system." [br] What has happened to the Polish political establishment?
选项
A、The opposition party has become the ruling party.
B、The government used to be unconfident of the euro.
C、The ruling party had to take the blame for the run on the Polish zloty.
D、The government used to refuse to replace its currency with the euro.
答案
D
解析
第2段第2句中Poland后的定语从句中的dropped its long time opposition表明波兰政府曾经反对加入欧元区,但现在政府放弃了这种立场。而根据第1段第1句对欧元区的定义可以知道加入欧元区就是接受欧元作为其国内唯一的法定货币。据此可推断波兰政府以前反对用欧元代替它原有的法定货币,由此可见,本题应选D。
