The new aircraft represents a $ 250m bet by Bombardier that Mexico could provide not just routine labour but manufacturing that depended on high-tech materials. It placed the bet, according to Michael McAdoo, head of global strategy, because it was seeing old European rivals go bust and new ones emerging in low-cost countries such as China and India. Workers in Wichita and Montreal complained. But Mr McAdoo says they came to realise that if outsourcing some manufacturing to Mexico ensured Bombardier’s future, it would
safeguard
their own jobs for years to come.
A shared concern with employment is one of the reasons that politicians are starting to pay more attention to NAFTA(North American Free Trade Agreement), which in recent years has been failing to live up to its early promise. Rebooting the agreement tops the agenda at the meeting of the leaders of the three countries scheduled to take place in Mexico this February. " There’s a joint willingness among all three countries to relaunch the idea of North America, not just in terms of manufacturing, but in innovation and design," says Sergio Alcocer, under-secretary for North America in Mexico’s foreign ministry.
In May 2013 Barack Obama—who in 2007, on the campaign trail, called NAFTA a "mistake" —trumpeted cross-border trade on a visit to Mexico, noting that the United States exports more to Mexico than to the BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India and China—combined. On a visit in September his vice-president, Joe Biden, dwelt on NAFTA’s untapped potential. The trade agreement was beginning to look out of date. There needed to be freer movement of "goods, people and information" across the borders, despite security worries. More shared infrastructure investment was necessary. He acknowledged that politicians had held up such improvements: " Make us do it," he urged business people and the public.
In the United States, the potential of closer integration has been outweighed—at least in the eyes of politicians—by the fear of job losses, as well as illegal drugs, crime and immigration from Mexico. Canada, however, long ago started seeing Mexico as a rival in its relationship with the United States, rather than a partner. Mexico, in which almost half of the population lives in poverty, much the same level as 20 years ago, has mixed feelings.
We can learn from the last paragraph that______.
选项
A、Canada sees Mexico and United States as its competitors
B、NAFTA brings only benefits to all three North American countries
C、American politicians have anticipated concerns after closer integration
D、Mexicans feel optimistic about their future when they integrate with the U. S
答案
C
解析
选项[A]对应第四段第三行:Canada,however,long ago started seeing Mexico as a ri—val in its relationship with the United States,rather than a partner.可见加拿大是把墨西哥看作了对手,而不是该项说的把墨西哥和美国当作竞争对手。该项中Mexico and United States一处与原文不符,故错误。选项[B]对应第一句,尽管第四段未提到NAFTA一词,但我们知道该段提到的美国、加拿大和墨西哥都是北美国家,而该项说NAFTA为北美三个国家带来的只有好处,这与该句提到的the fear of job losses,illegal drugs,crime and immigration from Mexico完全相悖,故该项错误。选项[C]同样对应第一句,意思为:美国政治家预测到了北美国家紧密结合后可能出现的问题,这与原文提到的fear of job losses等内容相符合,故该项正确。选项[D]对应最后一句:Mexico,in which almost half of the population lives in poverty,much the same level as 20 years ago,has mixed feelings.其中“mixed feelings复杂的情感”与该项的feel optimistic不符合,故该项错误。
