It started small. Just a political slogan, pasted onto a poster in a back office somewhere; NO EURO in 1999. Germany’s main opposition party, the Social Democrats, planned to print the poster by the thousands for the state elections, and exposed the party’s jingoist(极端爱国主义的)tune. On March 24 the Social Democrats gathered just 25 percent of the vote, their lowest postwar result. The party did almost as poorly in the two other state elections the same day. The big winner; Helmut Kohl and his pet project, the European monetary union, the plan to give the continent a single currency by 1999 and further enclosed Germany into a greater Europe.
Only a few months ago, many Europeans were attacking the EMU. But the day after the state e-lections, Holger Schmieding, senior strategist in Frankfurt, reverses his prognosis(预测)on the EMU’s likelihood from 40-60 against to 60-40 in favor.
At an intergovernmental conference in Italy, the Kohl government gave up some demands for speedy political and diplomatic integration in the interest of pushing the EMU through. French President Jacques Chirac threw in his lot with the German chancellor. Other countries like Spain, Sweden and Italy have recently changed governments and showed a new willingness to introduce EMU-in-spired principles.
The result; the markets have now lined up behind the EMU, driving Europe’s long-term bond yields closer together and pushing other currencies higher against the German mark. All this has supplied a nice tail wind(顺风)for the prospective Euro, the new currency supposed to replace the cash of the first group of "core" countries. "You can trace the changed mood to one clear source— those state elections," says John Lipsky, chief economist in New York. " Before, the working assumption had been that the German public was distrustful of EMU. But this was viewed as the first time it was tested on the ground rather than in public opinion polls. " The EMU, clearly, won.
What is suggested about the reliability of estimates of public opinions in the last paragraph?
选项
A、The results of elections are more reliable than public opinion polls.
B、Public opinion polls are more reliable than the results of elections.
C、Investigations are more reliable than public opinion polls.
D、Public opinion polls are the single accurate estimate of public opinions.
答案
C
解析
根据最后一段“Before,…public was distrustful of EMU.…on the ground rather than inpublic opinion polls.”可知,以前公众不相信EMU(经济和货币联盟)是因为其测验的方式为public opinion polls(民意测验),而非on the ground,即“当场调查”,也就是C项意思,“investigations要比public opinion polls更加可信”。
