Many people believe that because wages are lower in developing countries than in developed countries, competition from developing countries in goods traded internationally will soon eliminate large numbers of jobs in developed countries. Currently, developed countries' advanced technology results in higher productivity, which accounts for their higher wages. Advanced technology is being transferred ever more speedily across borders, but even with the latest technology, productivity and wages in developing countries will remain lower than in developed countries for many years because developed countries have better infrastructure and better-educated workers. When productivity in a developing country does catch up, experience suggests that wages there will rise. Some individual firms in developing countries have raised their productivity but kept their wages (which are influenced by average productivity in the country's economy) low. However, in a developing country's economy as a whole, productivity improvements in goods traded internationally are likely to cause an increase in wages. Furthermore, if wages are not allowed to rise, the value of the country's currency will appreciate, which (from the developed countries' point of view) is the equivalent of increased wages in the developing country. And although in the past a few countries have deliberately kept their currencies undervalued, that is now much harder to do in a world where capital moves more freely.

The passage suggests that if the movement of capital in the world were restricted, which of the following would be likely?

(A) Advanced technology could move more quickly from developed countries to developing countries.
(B) Developed countries could compete more effectively for jobs with developing countries.
(C) A country's average wages could increase without significantly increasing the sophistication of its technology or the value of its currency.
(D) A country's productivity could increase without significantly increasing the value of its currency.
(E) Workers could obtain higher wages by increasing their productivity.

答案D
楼主选了B，后来仔细看了看，D确实有道理，
但脑子有点乱，麻烦各位帮忙理一下啊这道题的思路，谢谢各位~

重点在最后两句话上“Furthermore, if wages are not allowed to rise, the value of the country's currency will appreciate, which (from the developed countries' point of view) is the equivalent of increased wages in the developing country. And although in the past a few countries have deliberately kept their currencies undervalued, that is now much harder to do in a world where capital moves more freely.”
这里指出即便是发展中国家的工资不上涨（if wages are not allowed to rise），它的货币也会增值（the value of the country's currency will appreciate），所以如果从发达国家的角度来看也相当于工资上涨（which (from the developed countries' point of view) is the equivalent of increased wages in the developing country）。然后又说过去有些国家故意控制货币价值不让其上涨（And although in the past a few countries have deliberately kept their currencies undervalued），然而在现今资本流动性强的时候这个很难做到了（that is now much harder to do in a world where capital moves more freely）。这里说明了货币价值和资本流动性的 关系，即强资本流动性时如果不涨工资，其国货币价值会增加。
所以题目问当资本流动性弱的时候会发生什么，这时就应该去找什么和资本流动性相关。
A技术，题目中没有体现出技术和资本流动性的关系
B即便是对比竞争力，也应该是发展中国家的低工资更有竞争力而不是发达国家的高工资更有竞争力，因为第一句就说了because wages are lower in developing countries than in developed countries, competition from developing countries in goods traded internationally will soon eliminate large numbers of jobs in developed countries
C平均工资和资本流动性无关
D低资本流动性导致低货币价值增长，和题目里出现的相关性一致
E说的是工资和生产力的关系，和资本流动性无关
