问题     While U.S. companies are worrying about how to recruit talent from abroad in the face of increasingly rigorous immigration rules, a different and far more significant challenge is quietly building. When young knowledge workers look for a job today, they seriously consider companies half a world away. Homegrown American talent is moving abroad, in what could become a huge shift in the world economic order.
    Early warning signs abound. Look at Singapore’s success in recruiting top U.S. academics to its universities and research centers: It lured the world’s leading seismologist (a geologist who studies earthquakes and the mechanical characteristics of the Earth) away from the California Institute of Technology and the number two scientist at the National Institutes of Health away from that organization. Silicon Valley expatriates have been moving to China in a small but steady stream. Farmers from the Midwest are using their high-tech methods to make a new start in Brazil, where real estate is cheap.
    The United States’ current economic woes are accelerating this trend. The trickle that has started at the top will become a flood as mid-career executives look for new opportunities abroad. Of course, even the best manager will struggle if he or she doesn’t speak the local language. But one can get by in India with English only, and Spanish is relatively easy to learn. Moreover, when the children of today’s expatriates enter the workforce, they’ll reap a huge advantage from knowing the second language—Chinese, Portuguese, Hindi—they learned to speak at home as youngsters. More and more parents are discovering that a multilingual education can help in guaranteeing lifelong employ ability for their offspring.
    Government policy will be crucial in determining how well U.S. companies respond to the increasing outflow of American talent. Lawmakers must not resort to knowledge protectionism—for instance, by requiring people who attend state-funded universities to spend a certain amount of their working life in the United States. Rather, they must ensure that America remains the most favorable place for high-tech enterprises and continues to attract foreign students to its universities and foreign workers to its companies.
    The U.S. monopoly on leading-edge opportunities is at an end. The world’s best and brightest no longer assume that their future lies exclusively in the United States, and America’s best are coming to agree: Their path to a dream career may well lead them overseas.
Which of the following could be the most appropriate title for the text?
选项 A、Economy and American Immigration
B、A Looming American Talent’s Outflow
C、An Alerting Reverse in Immigration
D、American Immigration Past and Present
答案B
解析 本文讨论了美国人才外流的现象及其原因，并提出相应的对策。第一段先指出美国本土人才不断流向外国的现象；第二段以例证显示美国人才外流的事实；第三段分析造成这一现象的原因；第四段提出应对人才外流的关键在于政府政策；最后一段谈及美国结束了对领先优势机遇的垄断，并借此现状表达出美国人才外流问题的重要性。B项很好地概括了全文的主旨。其他三项均把重点放在“美国移民(移人)”上，但本文的关注点是美国人才外流，而非人才或移民的迁入。
