During the last thirty years, the international economy has experienced a basic change. Im¬provements in the Internet and other communications have had important effects on world mar¬kets. Faster methods of transport from one place to another have made the world seem smaller to the businessmen. As a result, the world no longer consists of a number of separate economies un¬der the control of different nations. Instead, the nations have been integrated into a single econo¬my, and the integration is becoming more and more complete every year. For the first time in his¬tory, we can truly speak of a global economy.
The most dramatic example of this integration was the oil crisis of 1973 and 1974. It came as a great surprise to the public in the industrial nations to discover that they depended so heavily on imported oil. However, the best evidence for the growing integration is the rapid expansion in the volume of world trade. It went up by about 7% a year during the decade from 1990 to 2000, and in several quasi-industrial (半工业的) countries the growth was even more rapid. As a result, some imported products have become as common as domestic commodity. Some of them are too common for the public to any more realize they are foreign.
Production has also become international, which is manifested by the large corporations step¬ping across national borders and established branches and subsidiaries in several different coun¬tries. As an example, U. S. companies are building automobiles in Canada, Germany, Britain and Japan. In some cases, components of an automobile are produced abroad and shipped to the Unit¬ed States, where it is then finished with the imported parts. When even the United States has the largest number of such corporations, it is not the only. Other multinationals, for instance, are based in Japan, France, Germany, the UK and Italy.
Labor, too, is much more mobile than in the past. Both skilled and unskilled workers can now readily migrate from one country to another. In Europe, for example, there are large num¬bers of Turkish workers employed in the Germany Economy. Doctors, lawyers, and other professionals are also finding it easier to work in foreign countries. The labor market has become in¬ternational, and the number of expatriate workers is continuing to grow.
We learn from the passage that______.
选项
A、some less developed countries maintain a faster growth rate
B、the United States has more international corporations than other countries
C、the U. S. automobile industry is collapsing under competitive pressure from Japan and other industrialized countries
D、skilled workers and professionals find it easier to work abroad than unskilled workers
答案
A
解析
细节题。此题答案可在第二段中找到线索。第二段谈到国际贸易增长时有一句:在1990年到2000年这10年间,在一些半工业化国家(quasi—industrial countries)增长甚至更快一些(the growth was even more faster)。半工业化国家与工业化国家相比,显然是不太发达。B与文章第三段所讲的不符合。第三段说美国在世界上拥有最多的跨国公司,但并不是说比其他所有国家跨国公司的总和还要多。C文章中没有谈到这一点。D在文章中没有这种比较。
