Whoever said that victory has many fathers and defeat is an orphan, surely had never heard of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In the case of the hapless multilateral trade body and its long-suffering representatives, the total failure of the opening meeting of the so called Millennium trade round has lots of people boasting of their role in the melee. Well. That’s just brilliant. They are proud of being part of a movement that wants to wreck the most important engine of economic growth, prosperity and overall global rising living standards we have--the freedom of trade and movement of people and goods between nations.
The 135-member WTO is composed of sovereign governments wishing to further this goal and ease the settlement of international trade disputes. Form the sounds emanating from Seat tie, though, it would now seem the WTO has now replaced the Trilateral Commission and the Freemasons as candidate No. 1 .to take over the world. Everybody has his favorite Seattle story. The city’s police chief will have plenty of time to think about this, having now resigned in disgrace over the loss of control of downtown Seattle. The Seattle business community may be more inclined to brood over theirs; the poor fools invested $ 9 million to attract the’ meeting to their fine city. What stands out more? I would nominate the union of steel workers, who were marching in protest. It’s an image that will’ boggle the mind for years to come.
The debate now is over just how effective this anti-globalist coalition will turn out to be. In the heat of the moment, it always looks as though the world as we know it is coming to an end. But the overwhelming likelihood is that we have not actually seen a replay of the anti-Vietnam War movement, which had much clearer focus, obviously, though its consequences were far reaching. How long, after all, can you protest against cheap imports when those same imports are all over your house?
No, the real reason for the disaster in Seattle is political. Taking the long view, other trade rounds have had difficult beginnings, too. It took years to get the Uruguay Round under way, which finally happened in 1986. Thankfully, we will soon be electing another president, and it should be someone whose actions match his rhetoric.
Still, it is a disgrace that the world’s greatest trading nation, i.e. the United States, is currently led by a man whose motivations are so narrowly political and egocentric that he has now wrecked any chance of entering the history books as a champion of free trade.
From the first paragraph, we learn______.
选项
A、many people were proud of their presence at the Millennium trade round of the WTO
B、many nations were proud of the failure of being members of WTO
C、different forces contributed to the failure of the Millennium trade round
D、there were violent debates as to the prospects of the WTO
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。本题关键是正确理解文章第一段的内容。该段第二句指出:对这个不幸的多国贸易团体(世界贸易组织WTO)及其备受煎熬的代表们来说,这次所谓的千年贸易会谈开场的彻底失败使得许多人夸耀他们(导致其失败)的功劳。这些人引以为豪的不是成为WTO的成员国或参加了这次会议,而是因为他们参加了旨在击败这台最重要的机器(WTO)的运动。所以选项 A和B都不对。这么多人的努力使会议失败说明选项C“各种力量导致了千年贸易会谈的失败”是正确答案。
