Whoever said that victory has many fathers and defeat is an orphan, surely had never heard of the World Trade organization (WTO). In the case of the hapless multilateral trade body and its long suffering representatives, the total failure of the opening meeting of the so-called Millennium trade round has lots of people boasting of their role in the violent physical struggle. Well. That’s just brilliant. They are proud of being part of a movement that wants to wreck the most important engine of economic growth, prosperity and overall global rising living standards we have--the freedom of trade and movement of people and goods between nations.
The 135-members WTO is composed of sovereign governments wishing to further this goal and ease the settlement of international trade disputes. From the sounds emanating from Seattle, though, it would now seem the WTO has now replaced the Trilateral Commission and the Freemasons as candidate No. 1 to take over the world.
Everybody has his favorite Seattle story. The city’s police chief will have plenty of time to think about his, having now resigned in disgrace over the loss of control of downtown Seattle. The Seattle business community may be more inclined to brood over theirs; the poor fools invested $ 9 million to attract the meeting to their fine city. What stands out more? I would nominate the union of steel workers who were marching in protest. It’s an image that will boggle the mind for years to come.
The debate now is over just how effective this anti-globalist coalition will turn out to be. In the heat of the moment, it always looks as though the world as we know it is coming to an end. But the overwhelming likelihood is that we have not actually seen a replay of the anti-Vietnam War movement, which had much clearer focus, obviously, though its consequences were far-reaching. How long, after all, can you protest against cheap imports when those same imports are all over your house?
No, the real reason for the disaster in Seattle is political, and reports coming out of the meeting point to President Clinton as a major culprit. Which may be both good and bad. Taking the long view, other trade rounds have had difficult beginnings, too. It took years to get the Uruguay Round under way, which finally happened in 1986. Thankfully, we will soon be electing another president, and it should be someone whose actions match his rhetoric.
Still, it is a disgrace that the world’s greatest trading nation, i. e. the United States, is currently led by a man whose motivations are so narrowly political and egocentric that he has now wrecked any chance of entering the history books as a champion of free trade. [br] one of the WTO’s goals as mentioned in the passage is to______
选项
A、serve as arbiters in international trade disputes.
B、ensure cheap export and import of goods unnecessarily.
C、bring about the globalization of world’s trades.
D、encourage free trade and goods exchanges worldwide.
答案
D
解析
题干问:“如文中所提到的,世界贸易组织的一个目标是……”。此题定位于第1自然段的最后一句,归纳得出正确选项为D“鼓励自由贸易和国际间货物的交换”。而选项A“作为国际贸易争端的仲裁者”和选项C“促进世界贸易的全球化”在文中没有提及。选项B“没有必要确保商品的便宜出口和进口”是原文信息的编造。
