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] Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the European Community prior to the adoption of the Europe 1992 program?

选项 A、There were restrictions on commerce between the member nations.
B、The economic policies of the member nations focused on global trading issues.
C、There were few impediments to trade between the member nations and the United States.
D、The flow of goods between the member nations and Canada was insignificant.
E、Relations between multinational corporations and the governments of the member nations were strained.

答案 A

解析 从文中可推断出,欧洲1992运动实施之前有何情况?实施之前的情况,将此运动的目标取非即可。∴A正确。成员国之间贸易存在限制。B、C、D、E均不合原文论述。
