问题     A  Through political dialogue and confidence building, no tension has escalated into armed confrontation among ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member countries since its establishment more than three decades ago. To build on what has been constructed over the years in the field of political and security cooperation, the ASEAN leaders have agreed to establish the ASEAN Security Community (ASC). The ASC aims to ensure that countries in the region live at peace with one another and with the world in a just, democratic and harmonious environment. The members of the Community regard their security as fundamentally linked to one another and bound by geographic location, common vision and objectives.
    B  EU (European Union) countries account for a small percentage of the world’s population. They must therefore continue pulling together if they are to be able to compete on the world stage with other major economies。No individual EU country is strong enough to go it alone in world trade. The European single market provides companies with a vital platform for competing effectively on world markets. Half a century of European integration has shown that the EU as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts: it has much more economic, social, technological, commercial and political clout than if its member states had to act individually.
    C  NAFTA (The North American Free Trade Agreement) has substantially liberalised trade in services and has opened government procurement markets, including procurement in services and construction markets. The agreement makes it illegal for the parties to discriminate between national and foreign producers in the trading of services, government markets and investment. One prime benefit of NAFTA is that the NAFTA agreement encourages greater immigration between the three countries.
    D  WTO (World Trade Organisation) rules, agreed by member countries, limit the role that governments can play in their national economies. These include the level of taxes charged on goods coming into a country, goods quotas, support for national industry, and subsidies for farmers, Virtually any economic policy (and some social policies) that a government can make is restricted by what is agreed at the WTO. This means that elected governments do not have a full range of policy options open to them—their range is narrowed by the WTO.
This international organisation has existed for more than 30 years.
选项
答案A
解析 题目意为：该国际组织存在了30多年了。A段指出，通过政治对话和彼此间建立互信，东盟成员国之间的紧张关系自从东盟成立三十多年来从未升级成武装冲突。其中，文中的more than three decades ago与题干中的for more than 30 years相对应。因此，可推断出A段符合题意。
