问题 According to the passage, all of the following were benefits of privatizing state-owned industries in the United Kingdom EXCEPT______
The quotation in line 39 is most probably used to______
选项 A、counter a position that the author of the passage believes is incorrect
B、state a solution to a problem described in the previous sentence
C、show how opponents of the viewpoint of the author of the passage have supported their arguments
D、point out a paradox contained in a controversial viewpoint
E、present a historical maxim to challenge the principle introduced in the third paragraph
答案A
解析 The best answer is A. Paine’s saying asserts that people do not hold in high esteem something that comes to them too easily; in this case, the author of the passage is applying the maxim to workers in privatized industries. The author of the passage states that Paine’s point is missed by those economists who believe that giving away, rather than selling; company shares to the employees of a privatized company would spur the privatization process. Thus, the author of the passage believes that the position taken by these economists is incorrect, and that the opposing position as represented y Paine’s maxim is correct-that workers will value the shares more if the shares have a cost.
