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.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
选项 A、Rents in France were tightly controlled.
B、France was flooding the international market with inferior products.
C、French workers were prohibited from going abroad to find jobs.
D、The migration of French workers would hinder the improvement of quality in industrial production.
答案B
解析 细节题。文章第二段第三句提到Rents were tightly controlled，故A符合文意，可排除。尽管导致了通货膨胀，政府仍然通过其他措施保障工人的生活，并没有大量生产劣质产品，故B与文意不符，为本题答案。文章最后一段首句提到The government was unwilling to let workers leave the country，故C与文意相符。文章最后一段提到，工人大量的涌出会导致高质量产品的产量下降，而国外来的工人也不会帮助提高产品的质量，故D符合文意。由此可知，B为本题答案。
