问题 Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
As Asia-Pacific leaders gather in the coming days for the annual summit under this region’s premier economic cooperation framework, hopes are running high that they will inject fresh vigor into regional economic integration.
    Particularly, all eyes are on the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific, FTAAP for short, an all-encompassing free trade vision for which the 21-member APEC forum is expected to hash out a roadmap.
    It is undeniable that to craft a free trade zone out of a region as vast and diverse as the Asia-Pacific is extremely cumbersome and time-consuming, yet the current trend of fragmentation and incoordination has turned the region’s trading system into a spaghetti bowl.
    The recent decade has witnessed a mushrooming of small and medium-sized Free Trade Agreements (FTA for short) in the Asia-Pacific. From the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) , it is evident that Asia-Pacific economies are truly eager to open up to each other for the sake of mutual benefit and common development.
    However, due to a lack of information-sharing and transparency, such a multitude of varying and overlapping free trade mechanisms might eventually generate a myriad of complex or even contradictory rules governing regional trade, thus creating an even larger barriers for traders and investors.
    Thus it is high time that serious attention was paid to the FTAAP idea, which has been around for almost a decade. The overarching arrangement is intended to be open, inclusive and flexible, so as to accommodate all economies in the region and bridge trade deals both in being and in the making.
    As such a grand vision draws closer to reality, it is only natural for suspicions and noises to kick in. Some Western media have rushed to hype up a "China-U.S. rivalry" for leadership in the region’s mounting free trade drive. Allegations of this sort are groundless and betray their advocates’ obsession with confrontation or sensation. The FTAAP is by no means a "solo show" of China. Rather, it is the shared aspiration of all APEC members that will bring them a wealth of benefits.

选项 A、The summit is expected to promote regional economic integration.
B、The APEC forum has 21 members.
C、A roadmap has been sketched for the FTAAP.
D、The FTAAP vision entails much endeavor.

答案 C

解析 事实细节的找寻与判断。根据原文“hopes are running high that they will inject fresh vigor into regional economic integration”可知,人们对峰会能为区域经济融合注入新动力抱有很高的期望,选项A与之相符。“the 21-member APEC forum”表明APEC论坛共有21个成员国,选项B正确。“extremely cumbersome and time consuming”表明要实现FTAAP的愿景十分困难并且要花费很长时间,内含需要投入很大的努力的意思,选项D与之相符。“APEC forum is expected to hash out a roadmap”说明路线图并未制定完成,选项C错误,故本题应选择选项C。本题考查听者对细节信息的把握。
