问题     Billions of people across the world are in need of and demanding a better globalisation—one that puts the economy to work for people and not the other way round. The financial crash exposed just how detached the global economy has become from our values—a misalignment that is most pronounced in the world’s response to the global epidemic of youth unemployment.
    The impact is also felt closer to home, with industrialised countries experiencing large spikes in worklessness among young people; in both Europe and the US, one young person in five is looking for a job.
    But it doesn’t need to be this way. In developing and developed countries alike, education is the key to giving young people the skills they need to be successful in a modern economy. As Nelson Mandela wrote in his autobiography: "Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor." For that reason, I was delighted to accept an invitation from the Global Campaign for Education—an organisation that brings together some of the world’s leading NGOs, trade unions and campaigners in this field—to convene, in the company of the activist Graca Machel, Mandela’s wife, a "high-level panel" to promote the cause of education throughout the world. In that capacity, I have authored a report on education and growth to argue the case for a global push on education.
    The case, I believe, is compelling. It is built on the twin pillars of ethics and economics: ethics because it is unfair that so many young people are being denied—through no fault of their own—the opportunity to develop their talents and are condemned to poverty, and economics because this waste of human capital is grossly economically inefficient.
    New research presented in the report shows that a renewed push towards the Millennium Development Goal of quality basic primary education for all the world’s children by 2015 could increase per capita income growth in the poorest countries by 2 per cent over projected levels. That would be good news for developing countries and would make a big difference to the fight against global poverty—but it would be good news, too, for western economies. People are often surprised to learn that sub-Saharan Africa is now a trillion-dollar economy and that it grew faster than India and Brazil between 2000 and 2010. In an era when both Europe and America appear set for sluggish growth in the short term, we need to do everything we can to support the development of alternative poles of growth in the global economy—poles that can boost global demand for our goods and services. Tackling youth unemployment in developing countries and addressing it in the developed nations are, therefore, two sides of the same coin.
The current globalization is probably one that______.
选项 A、exposes the misalignment between economy and values
B、enables economy to become a servant to ordinary people
C、constrains ordinary people’s life with economy
D、causes the world epidemic of youth unemployment
答案C
解析 属信息推断题。选项A犯了移花接木的错误，文章提到金融危机(而非全球化本身)暴露了全球经济与人们价值观的不对等性，故选项A错误。选项B犯了答非所问的错误，题目问的是现行的全球化是怎样的，但选项B回答的是人们所希望的全球化的样子，故错误。文中讲到人们希望有～种更好的全球化模式，即经济能够服务于人，而非与之相反；故可推测，现行的全球化模式很可能就是这种反过来的模式，即经济牵制人的生活，故选项C正确。选项D犯了无中生有的错误，文中并未提及青年失业是由全球化所引起，故错误。
