The combined sales of the 100 largest foreign investing companies in the U. S. increased by a 40% in the two years between 1977 and 1979, and the number has continued to increase steadily. In 1980 South Africa proved to be the largest financial investor in the U. S. controlling about $19. 2 billion in sales. The Netherlands and the U. K. follow as second largest investors--and Germany next. New to the list of the top 100 foreign investors are 12 banking and finance and insurance companies--the largest, the Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corp. , from Hong Kong. The number of Latin American companies engaged in business here is growing steadily, often through third country holding companies.
Why are so many firms coming to the U. S. ? There are many reasons. One of the greatest attractions, of course, is a market of over 200 million consumers with a high average per capital income. In addition, with the devalued dollar the cost of American labor has declined significantly, relative to many foreign labor costs.
Some firms seeking to avoid economic and/or political pressures at home find the U. S. a politically stable environment in which to work.
Many hope to be able to continue selling to the American market even if the U. S. government restricts imports further, or if major price changes occur due to currency fluctuations (波动).
Many foreigners are attracted by U.S. technology, its modem management methods, its labor saving and mass production techniques.
Which of the following reasons for many firms coming to the U.S. is not mentioned in the passage?
选项
A、Skillful labor force in the U.S.
B、Advanced management method.
C、Rich consumers.
D、Mass production techniques.
答案
A
解析
本题为细节综合判断题。文章第二、三两段分析了为什么有众多外国公司进驻美国:广阔的市场和高收入的消费人群(a market of over 200 million consumers with a high average per capital income.)、美元贬值所带来的劳动力成本下降(the cost of American labor has declined)、稳定的政治环境(a politically stable environment)、先进的技术、现代化的管理方法以及有关节约劳动力和大规模生产的经验(…attracted by U.S. technology,its modern management methods,its labor saving and mass production techniques.)。唯独 A 没有提到。
