Now a nation’s political influence depends on
A standard for measuring power has changed. These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer will a nation’s political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It’s often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.
America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.
The competitiveness of America’s industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society—government, industry, and education.
选项
A、other countries
B、the declining U. S. industrial
C、a new standard for measuring power
D、less advanced technology
答案
B
解析
语义理解题。由原文最后部分“The competitiveness of America’s industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense...”可以推断出增强美国工业竞争力是比美国国防还重要的事务,它需要社会、政府、工业、教育等机构的共同努力。可见,美国工业的衰落已经到了危机阶段,对于美国的政治影响力产生了威胁,选项B为正确答案。
