The new aircraft represents a $ 250m bet by Bombardier that Mexico could provide not just routine labour but manufacturing that depended on high-tech materials. It placed the bet, according to Michael McAdoo, head of global strategy, because it was seeing old European rivals go bust and new ones emerging in low-cost countries such as China and India. Workers in Wichita and Montreal complained. But Mr McAdoo says they came to realise that if outsourcing some manufacturing to Mexico ensured Bombardier’s future, it would

A shared concern with employment is one of the reasons that politicians are starting to pay more attention to NAFTA(North American Free Trade Agreement), which in recent years has been failing to live up to its early promise. Rebooting the agreement tops the agenda at the meeting of the leaders of the three countries scheduled to take place in Mexico this February. " There’s a joint willingness among all three countries to relaunch the idea of North America, not just in terms of manufacturing, but in innovation and design," says Sergio Alcocer, under-secretary for North America in Mexico’s foreign ministry.
In May 2013 Barack Obama—who in 2007, on the campaign trail, called NAFTA a "mistake" —trumpeted cross-border trade on a visit to Mexico, noting that the United States exports more to Mexico than to the BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India and China—combined. On a visit in September his vice-president, Joe Biden, dwelt on NAFTA’s untapped potential. The trade agreement was beginning to look out of date. There needed to be freer movement of "goods, people and information" across the borders, despite security worries. More shared infrastructure investment was necessary. He acknowledged that politicians had held up such improvements: " Make us do it," he urged business people and the public.
In the United States, the potential of closer integration has been outweighed—at least in the eyes of politicians—by the fear of job losses, as well as illegal drugs, crime and immigration from Mexico. Canada, however, long ago started seeing Mexico as a rival in its relationship with the United States, rather than a partner. Mexico, in which almost half of the population lives in poverty, much the same level as 20 years ago, has mixed feelings.
According to Paragraph 3, which one is NOT true?
选项
A、America exports more to Mexico than to China.
B、There may be security concerns across the borders.
C、American government now values much on the trade with Mexico.
D、Statesmen have greatly improved constructions across the borders.
答案
D
解析
选项[A]对应第三段第二行:the United States exports more to Mexico than to theBRIC countries Brazil,Russia,India and China combined.根据这句话我们知道该项是正确的,非题干所问的NOT true对应的答案。选项[B]对应There needed to be freer movement of“goods,people and information”across the borders,despite security worries一句。其中despitesecurity worries意为“尽管存在安全问题”,说明该项表述也是正确的,故不是答案。选项[C]对应该段首句:In May 2013 Barack Obama—who in 2007,on the campaign trail,called NAFTA a“mistake”—trumpeted cross-border trade on a visit to Mexico.(2013年5月,巴拉克·奥巴马在访问墨西哥时倡导跨国贸易。而在2007年竞选游说过程中,他称北美自由贸易协定是一个“错误”。)通过这句话我们知道该项说“美国政府如今更重视与墨西哥的贸易”是正确的。选项[D]对应最后一句:He acknowledged that politicians had held up such improvements.其中“held up阻碍”与该项的“greatly improved大大促进”完全相反,故该项是错误的。
