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 violent physical struggle. 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 o-verall global rising living standards we have — the freedom of trade and movement of people and goods between nations.
The 135-members WTO is composed of sovereign governments wishing to further this goal and ease the settlement of international trade disputes. From the sounds emanating from Seattle, though, it would now seem the WTO has now replaced the Trilateral Commission and the Freemasons as candidate No. 1 to take o-ver the world.
Everybody has his favorite Seattle story. The city’s police chief will have plenty of time to think about his, 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 a-gainst cheap imports when those same imports are all over your house?
No, the real reason for the disaster in Seattle is political, and reports coming out of the meeting point to President Clinton as a major culprit Which may be both good and bad. 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.
By saying that "It’s an image that will boggle the mind for years to come, " (the last sentence in Paragraph 3) the author means that______
选项
A、the WTO is likely to have a negative image in people’s mind in the future,
B、the WTO will have trouble changing people’s way of thinking in the future.
C、the startling scene will probably linger in people’s mind in the years to come.
D、people will lose whatever confidence they hold in the future of the WTO.
答案
C
解析
题干问:“作者在第3自然段最后一句中说道‘It’s an image that will boggle the mind for years tocome’,作者的意思是……”。正确选项为C“这个令人吃惊的场景在未来的几年里将可能萦绕在人们心中”,此处“boggle”意为“使困惑,使不知所措”,“it”指本段上文提到的各种混乱现象,以及失败给各种人带来的得失。而选项A“世界贸易组织将来在人们的心目中可能是一种负面的形象”,选项B“世界贸易组织在将来很难改变人们的思维方式”和选项D“将来人们会失去他们对世界贸易组织拥有的任何信心”都不是作者的写作意图。
