问题 You can not go forward by going backward．Take the current debate about trade and globalization，for instance，while the impulse to erect trade barriers is understandable given the pain experienced in recent years，it is not the way to create lasting growth and shared prosperity．
    Over the past three decades，global flows of trade and investment have accelerated dramatically，creating enormous economic value．However，trade and globalization have also brought wrenching job losses．The financial crisis and weak recovery have made matters worse，intensifying the backlash against trade and globalization．
    Part of the problem is that the benefits of trade and investment go largely unrecognized，while the job losses are often overstated．Another significant problem is that participation in trade and investment is limited to a relatively small set of firms．In the U．S．，large firms account for three-quarters of total exports，and the vast majority of small and medium-size businesses do not export．This means firms have a great opportunity to boost growth and productivity through wider participation in trade．
    That leaves the question of how to help those hurt by trade and globalization．Too often we talk about re—training as a panacea(万能药)．And yes，it helps．But it needs to take into account the different requirements of each workforce and needs to be part of a wider set of support for affected workers and communities．
    Above all，it is important to recognize that our economic transition to a global and digital economy is an irreversible trend．Only by broadening participation in the global economy，ratherthan by trying to turn back the clock，will we discover answers to today’s most vexing economic problems．
    请回答下列问题。
According to the seeond paragraph，where does the backlash against globalization mainly stem from?
选项 A、Blocked flow of trade and investment．
B、Loss of economic value．
C、Declining worker mobility．
D、Distressing job losses．
答案D
解析 细节题。通过题干关键词the second paragraph可定位到第二段。问题问的是“抵制全球化主要来自哪里?”，根据第二段“trade and globalization have also brought wrenching job losses”可推断出全球化造成很多人失业，D项中的distressing是wrenching的同义词，意为“令人痛苦的”，故本题选D。A项属于无中生有，原文讲的是“global flows of trade and investment，have accelerated dramatically”，而不是blocked“阻碍”，故错误。B项与原文相反，原文讲的是“creating enormous economic value”，而不是“loss of economic valLie”，故错误。C项无中生有，原文只提到了“wrenching job losses”而没有提到mobility“流动性”的问题，故错误。故本题选D。
