问题     As the economic role of multinational, global corporations expands, the international economic environment will be shaped increasingly not by govern- ments or international institutions, but by the interaction between governments and global corporations, especially in the United States, Europe, and Japan. A significant factor in this shifting world economy is the trend toward regional trading blocs of nations, which has a potentially large effect on the evolution of the world trading system. Two examples of this trend are the United States- Canada Free Trade Agreement(FTA)and Europe 1992, the move by the European Community(EC)to dismantle impediments to the free flow of goods, services, capital, and labor among member states by the end of 1992. However, although numerous political and economic factors were operative in launching the move to integrate the EC’s markets, concern about pro- tectionism within the EC does not appear to have been a major consideration. This is in sharp contrast to the FTA, the overwhelming reason for that bilateral initiative was fear of increasing United States protectionism. Nonetheless, although markedly different in origin and nature, both regional developments are highly significant in that they will foster integration in the two largest and richest markets of the world, as well as provoke questions about the future direction of the world trading system. [br] According to the passage, one similarity between the FTA and Europe 1992 is that they both
选项 A、overcame concerns about the role of politics in the shifting world economy.
B、originated out of concern over unfair trade practices by other nations.
C、exemplify a trend toward regionaliza-tion of commercial markets.
D、place the economic needs of the trading bloc ahead of those of the member nations.
E、help to ensure the continued economic viability of the world community.
答案 C
解析 根据原文，FTA和“欧洲1992”的一个共同点是：A．克服了对政治在不断变化的世界经济情况中的作用的关切。文中无，实际上这两个运动也都离不开政治的影响。B．起源于对其他国家不公正贸易的关切。据文L27—30，只有FTA有此担心。C．正确。代表了商业市场区域化的潮流。原文FTA和“欧洲1992”都是为了证明L9—13的观点而举的例子。D．将联盟的利益置于成员国利益之上。无。E．能保证世界共同体持续经济变化。无。
