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

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 The trade agreement was beginning to look out of date.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.
The underlined word "safeguard"(Para 1 , Line 6)most probably means______.
选项
A、prevent
B、protect
C、hinder
D、convince
答案
B
解析
词义题的答案一般来自上下文,需要在上文或者下文中寻找相同词性的近义词,与safeguard位置上最接近的一个动词是上文ensured Bombardier’s future中的“ensure确保,保证,使安全”,故可以确定safeguard与其意思接近。而四个选项中,[A]prevent“阻止”与[C]hinder“阻碍”互为同义词,可以先排除。剩余两个选项中,与ensure或safeguard接近的是[B]protect,故为答案。
