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] The author discusses the FTA and Europe 1992 most likely in order to
选项 A、point out the similarities between two seemingly disparate trading alliances.
B、illustrate how different economic motivations produce different types of trading blocs.
C、provide contrasting examples of a trend that is influencing the world economy.
D、identify the most important characteristics of successful economic integration.
E、trace the history of regional trading blocs.
答案 C
解析 作者讨论FTA和“欧洲1992”是为了：A．指出其相同点。作者未强调此点。B．易混。描述不同经济运动造就出不同联盟。文中确实比较了两者的区别，但这不是作者主要目的所在。C．正确。为一影响世界经济的潮流提供对比的例证。此潮流即原文L9—13的叙述。D．成功经济联合体的最重要特点。无。E．追寻发展轨迹。无。
