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 expoas,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,rather than by trying to turn back the clock,will we discover answers to today’s most vexing economic problems.
Which of the following is true of the third paragraph?

选项 A、The participation in the trade globalization is not broad enough.
B、Job losses are often under-estimated.
C、Domestic firms are problematic with productivity.
D、Globalization hinders growth of small and medium-size firms.

答案A

解析 细节题。根据题干可定位到第三段。从Anothet significant problem is that participation in trade and investment is limited to a relatively small set 0f firms.In the U.S.,1arge firms account for three-quarters of total exports,and the vast majority of small and medium-size businesses do not export.可知,参与贸易全球化的只有一小部分公司,在美国,大企业占据总出口的四分之三,绝大多数中小型企业没有出口业务,故A项“贸易全球化的参与度不够”为正确答案。B项“失业经常被低估”与原文意思相反,原文讲的是job losses are often overstated“失业经常被夸大”,故错误。C项“国内企业在生产力方面存在问题”在原文并没有提及,原文只是说This means firms have a great opportunity to boost growth and productivity through wider participation in trade.“这意味着企业有机会通过更广泛的贸易参与来促进发展,提高生产力”,故错误。D项“全球化阻碍了中小型企业的发展”,属于无中生有,原文没有提及,故错误。故本题选A。
