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 The trade agreement was beginning to look out of date.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.
According to Paragraph 2, which one is true about NAFTA?
选项
A、Politicians always pay much attention to NAFTA.
B、NAFTA has reached its original anticipation in recent years.
C、One aim that politicians stress NAFTA is to boost employment.
D、All countries except Mexico wish to reboot the idea of North America.
答案
C
解析
选项[A]对应原文第二段第一句politicians are starting to pay more attention to NAF—TA,其中选项中的always与原文的are starting to明显不符,故该项错误。选项[B]对应原文的…NAFTA,which in recent years has been failing to live up to its early promise.其中“failing tolive up to没有做到”与该项的“has reached已经达到”相悖,故错误。选项[C]对应A sharedconcern with employment is one of the reasons that politicians are starting to pay more attention toNAFTA(政客开始注重NAFFA,原因之一是因为他们共同关注就业问题)。这与[C]项“政客重视NAFTA的目的之一在于促进就业”的表述一致,故该项为答案。[D]选项对应第二段最后一句,其中all countries except Mexico是原文未提到的,故该项错误。
