问题     President Arling has put his long awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress. It provides a coordinated program of investment credits, research grants, education reforms, and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.
    The most liberal wing of the President’s party has called for stronger and more direct action.
    They want an incomes policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.
    The Republicans, however, decry even the modest, graduated tax increases in the President’s program.
    They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy, let it through defence spending.
    Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it.
    But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances, then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this, no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long.
    Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest, that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors.
    So the crux is the technology and that is where the President’s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed; it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact.
    If we fail to restructure our economy now, we may not get a second chance.
The danger to the plan lies in________.
选项 A、the government protectionism
B、disagreement between the two parties about the plan
C、distortion
D、the two parties’ objection
答案C
解析 事实细节题。根据The danger定位于倒数第二段第二句。该句指出，目前的危险不是方案通不过，而是左右两派会做出修正，扭曲法案，模糊对技术的关注。由此可知，方案存在的危险是会被扭曲，故答案为C项，同时排除B项和D项。倒数第四段第二、三句提到，一个产业如果不能在技术上处于领先地位，就不能充分竞争，也就不能长久盈利。政府保护主义是为了强调技术的重要性，不是总统计划的危险点，故排除A项。
