问题     More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty. Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister. He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production. It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international markets to compete with those produced in other countries. The French economy needed a larger share of international market to balance its import and export trade.
    French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people, let alone long-ranged developments. Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point. Rents were tightly controlled, but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of food. Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the worker’s income. Wages, it is true, had risen. Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state, and there was full-time and overtime employment. Taken together, these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security. In this discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.
    The government was unwilling to let workers leave the country. It was feared that migration of workers would reduce the labor force. The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced. Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries. Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries.
The purpose of the passage is to_____.
选项 A、explain the French government’ s emphasis on quality products
B、discuss Charles Deschanel’s contribution to the French industrial development
C、compare the quality of French goods with that of foreign goods
D、show French workmen’s enthusiasm to seek well-paid jobs in foreign countries
答案A
解析 主旨题。文章开篇便指出在Rene Coty时期，法国政府很重视产品的质量，并且认为高质量产品是国际市场竞争中取胜的必要因素，接下来论述了只重视质量对法国工人生活的影响，在最后一段指出合格工人涌入国外，法国生产高质量产品的数量不能增加。整个文章体现了法国政府对质量的重视。故A为答案。
