Many United States companies have, unfortunately, made the search for legal protection from import competition into a major line of work. Since 1980 the United States International Trade Commission(ITC)has received about 280 complaints alleging damage from imports that benefit from subsidies by foreign governments. Another 340 charge that foreign companies "dumped" their products in the United States at "less than fair value." Even when no unfair practices are alleged, the simple claim that an industry has been injured by imports is sufficient grounds to seek relief.
Contrary to the general impression, this quest for import relief has hurt more companies than it has helped. As corporations begin to function globally, they develop an intricate web of marketing, production, and research relationships. The complexity of these relationships makes it unlikely that a system of import relief laws will meet the strategic needs of all the units under the same parent company.
Internationalization increases the danger that foreign companies will use import relief laws against the very companies the laws were designed to protect. Suppose a United States-owned company establishes an overseas plant to manufacture a product while its com- petitor makes the same product in the United States. If the competitor can prove injury from the imports—and that the United States company received a subsidy from a foreign government to build its plant abroad—the United States company’ s products will be uncompetitive in the United States, since they would be subject to duties.
Perhaps the most brazen case oc- curred when the ITC investigated allegations that Canadian companies were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt, used to deice roads. The bizarre aspect of the com- plaint was that a foreign conglomerate with United States operations was crying for help against a United States company with foreign operations. The "United States" company claiming in- jury was a subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate, while the "Canadian" companies included a subsidiary of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt. [br] The last paragraph performs which of the following functions in the passage?
选项
A、It summarizes the discussion thus far and suggests additional areas of research.
B、It presents a recommendation based on the evidence presented earlier.

D、It introduces an additional area of concern not mentioned earlier.
E、It cites a specific case that illustrates a problem presented more generally in the previous paragraph.
答案
E

最后一段的功能:A.总结至此的讨论并提示研究新领域。无。B.提出一基于前面的证据的建议。无。C.讨论特例,在其中作者所预期的结果未出现。正好说反,最后一段例子是符合作者前面的论述的。D.“an additional area”文中无。E.正确。给出一例,此例说明了一个已在上一段概括说明的问题。问题在L28—32已经点明,这里给出一个例子。
