Passage 37 (37/63)

(This passage was excerpted from material written in 1990.)

As the economic role of multinational, global corporations expands, the international economic environment will be shaped increasingly not by governments or international institutions, but by the interaction between governments and global corporations, especially in the United States, Europe, and Japan.// A significant factor in this shifting world economy is the trend toward regional trading blocs of nations, which has a potentially large effect on the evolution of the world trading system. //Two examples of this trend are the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and Europe 1992, the move by the European Community (EC) to dismantle impediments to the free flow of goods, services, capital, and labor among member states by the end of 1992. However, although numerous political and economic factors were operative in launching the move to integrate the EC’s markets, concern about protectionism within the EC does not appear to have been a major consideration. This is in sharp contrast to the FTA; the overwhelming reason for that bilateral initiative was fear of increasing United States protectionism.// Nonetheless, although markedly different in origin and nature, both regional developments are highly significant in that they will foster integration in the two largest and richest markets of the world, as well as provoke questions about the future direction of the world trading system.

1.e The primary purpose of the passage as a whole is to

(A) describe an initiative and propose its continuance

(B) chronicle a development and illustrate its inconsistencies

(C) identify a trend and suggest its importance 暗示它的重要性

(D) summarize a process and question its significance（C）

(E) report a phenomenon and outline its probable future

最近topic老是出现问题，很异常的情况。可能有进步了吧－－自我鼓励一下。

这题老也看不明白，我选的e，主要是根据文中最后一句话来的。about the future direction of the world trading system.正确答案是c，从哪能确定它讲到过的重要性呢？请指点

A significant factor in this shifting world economy is the trend toward regional trading blocs of nations,

我笨，我努力

谢谢，robert仔细有读了一遍，体会了一遍。

一个是suggest 暗示，一个是outline 强调。因该是suggest更确切。

我开始也错选E，但我觉得问题出在report(本文不是在report什么）和 future（只有末尾略提到future啊,一直在说现在是什么状况嘛）。

至于3楼说suggest是暗示，我觉得不妥哎。“表明“怎么样？

2、定位错误

应定位于：A significant factor in this shifting world economy is the trend toward regional
                trading
                blocs of nations,..........还有前面一句：gobal corporations expands, the international economic environment will be shaped increasingly not by  governments or international institutions ut by the
                interaction between governments and global corporations,表明corporation的范围。

(A) an alteration in the role played by governments 对应黑体字governments内容

(B) an increase in interaction between national governments and international regulatory institutions

(C) an increase in the formation of multinational trading alliances      对应trading blocs of nations

(D) an increase in integration in the two richest markets of the world 对应后面所举例子

(E) a fear of increasing United States protectionism 此选项对应的是FTA形成的原因，错

还有一个疑问：B选项是对应黄色部分吗？难道不和菊色部分冲突吗？难道是把or换成了and就对了？

"跟governments/international institutions单独没关系，但和interaction有关，所以只要interaction就好了” 

对吗？

还有，此题是从哪里得出要选E的？最后一句？提干中的corporation是文章中的所指corporation吗？
