It is the staff of dreams and nightmares. Where Tony Blair’s attempts to make Britain love the Euro have fallen on deaf ears, its incarnation as notes and coins will succeed. These will be used not just in the Euro area but in Britain. As the British become accustomed to the’ Euro as a cash currency, they will warm to it — paving the way for a yes note in a referendum.
The idea of Euro creep appeals to both sides of the Euro argument According to the pros, as Britons become familiar with the Euro, membership will start to look inevitable, so those in favor are bound to win. According to the antis, as Britons become familiar with the Euro, membership will start to look inevitable , so those opposed must mobilize for the fight.
Dream or nightmare, Euro creep envisages the single currency worming its way first into the British economy and then into the affections of voters. British tourists will come back from their European holidays laden with Euros, which they will spend not just at airports but in high street shops. So, too, will foreign visitors. As the Earn becomes a parallel currency, those who make up the current two-o-one majority will change their minds. From there, it will be a short step to decide to dispense with the pound.
Neil Kinnock, a European commissioner and former leader of the Labor Party, predicts that the Euro will soon become Britain’s second currency. Hans Eichel, the German finance minister, also says that it will become a parallel currency in countries like Switzerland and Britain. Peter Hain, the European minister who is acting as a cheerleader for membership, says the Euro will become " a practical day-to-day reality and that will enable people to make a sensible decision about it". As many as a third of Britain’s biggest retailers, such as Marks and Spencer, have said they will take Euros in some of their shops. BP has also announced that it will accept Euros at some of its garages.
But there is less to this than meet the eye. British tourists can now withdraw money from cashpoint from European holiday destinations, so they are less likely than in the past to end up with excess foreign money. Even if they do, they generally get rid of it at the end of their holidays, says David Southwell, a spokesman for the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
According to the writer, once the British get used to the Euro, ______
选项
A、there will be no obstacle for it to be a currency in Britain.
B、it will take the place of pound in whatever aspects in Britain.
C、the British will accept it as a cash currency gradually.
D、it will become a symbol of reunification for European countries.
答案
C
解析
题干问:“根据作者,一旦英国人适应了欧元……”。此题可以定位于文章的第1自然段,归纳和参看第4句,正确选项为C“英国人将会渐渐把欧元接受成为一种流通货币”。而选项A“欧元在英国成为流通货币将不会有任何障碍”,选项B“它将在英国的方方面面取代英镑”和选项D“会成为欧洲各国重新结盟的一种象征”都是对原文第1自然段的错误曲解。
