      Since the end of World War II, international trade has developed dramatically. All countries in the modern world join in worldwide trade, through which various sorts of merchandise and  (51)   materials arc exported in  (52)   for foreign currency, which means income wealth from  (53)   and job opportunity at home, and in the meantime, foreign goods are imported to provide consumers with  (54)   and welcome merchandise. Today, economic interdependence among countries is so  (55)   that no country can close its doors to the outside world, and the more prosperous the national economy, the more developed the foreign trade. Economic globalization is now a  (56)   in the world.
      But in the past when old and new colonialism ruled the world there was no free and fair trade at all. Powers,  (57)   the British empire, the United States, Russia, Japan, divided the world into their spheres of influence—their colonies or dependencies, where their businessmen  (58)   their merchandise at high prices and bought  (59)   raw materials and labor at low prices.  (60)   of wealth flowed to these powers which then grew prosperous,  (61)   the colonies were driven into destitution (贫困). The national economy of colonies was innately defective. Their industries could not survive the overwhelming  (62)   of imports from the powers. Their monotonous national economy  (63)   in production of one or two agricultural crops or  (64)   products or minerals, to be sold in international market, for example, orange and sugarcane in Cuba, banana and coffee in South-America, coal in Poland, all  (65)   to supply-demand relation in world market under control of the powers. Even their customs were governed by officials from the powers, whose exported goods thus could enter the colonies nearly duty-free. It was after the collapse of colonialist system all over the world that free and fair international trade, at least theoretically, could be possible.  
选项 A、when
B、as
C、since
D、while
答案D
解析 此题属于语篇连接题。文中上句讲大国越来越富，下句讲殖民地越来越穷(destitution)，两者是对比关系。选项D while可引导时间状语从句，也可用于表示对比，意为“然而”，是正确答案。选项A when引导时间状语从句，选项B as可引导时问状语或原因状语从句。选项C since引导原因状语从句。全句可译为：大量财富源源不断地流入大国，它们因此越来越繁荣，而殖民地却陷于贫困的境地。
