问题         Europe’s world status had drastically changed. Its individual nations, once great powers, were dwarfed—politically and militarily by the United States and the former Soviet Union, numerically by India and China, economically by the United States, Japan, and any new economic powers that might emerge. Europe’s empires had been widely separated; and yet, like the rest of the world’ s rich Northern Hemisphere, it could not shrug off the poor and hungry millions in the South. It is all the more reasonable, therefore, for European countries to come together—not merely to hold their own political and economic superpowers but also to maximize their power to meet their wider responsibilities in the world.
        20th-century Europe had witnessed and shared in extraordinarily rapid technological change. Computers, industrial robots and genetic engineering are only its most obvious recent examples. The splitting of the atom had vastly multiplied human’ s power to destroy itself. Jet aircraft, space travel and electronic telecommunications had revolutionized the sense of distance and scale. Radio and television, still more than the cinema, had become truly "massmedia",with satellites giving all broadcasts in the global range.
        But economic progress had not kept pace with technology; in a world of potential plenty and well-being, there were still both poverty and pollution. Political progress had been slower still. International cooperation was increasing, but the basic political unit remained the nation-state. That dated from an age when the fastest means of travel had been a galloping horse.
        This was why the founders of the EC, as Monnet said, were not concerned to make coalitions of states but to unite people. A united Europe along these lines, with common rules and democratic institutions, was in his eyes a pilot plant for a united world.
One of the problems for the present Europe is____________.
选项 A、its economy is developing too fast
B、its technology is developing too fast
C、its economic system is too old to be of any use
D、its politics does not keep pace with its technology
答案D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段前两句话可以得知，欧洲目前的问题之一是政治没有跟上技术发展的步伐。因此本题选D。
