During the last thirty years, the international economy has experienced a basic change. Im¬provements in the Internet and other communications have had important effects on world mar¬kets. Faster methods of transport from one place to another have made the world seem smaller to the businessmen. As a result, the world no longer consists of a number of separate economies un¬der the control of different nations. Instead, the nations have been integrated into a single econo¬my, and the integration is becoming more and more complete every year. For the first time in his¬tory, we can truly speak of a global economy.
The most dramatic example of this integration was the oil crisis of 1973 and 1974. It came as a great surprise to the public in the industrial nations to discover that they depended so heavily on imported oil. However, the best evidence for the growing integration is the rapid expansion in the volume of world trade. It went up by about 7% a year during the decade from 1990 to 2000, and in several quasi-industrial (半工业的) countries the growth was even more rapid. As a result, some imported products have become as common as domestic commodity. Some of them are too common for the public to any more realize they are foreign.
Production has also become international, which is manifested by the large corporations step¬ping across national borders and established branches and subsidiaries in several different coun¬tries. As an example, U. S. companies are building automobiles in Canada, Germany, Britain and Japan. In some cases, components of an automobile are produced abroad and shipped to the Unit¬ed States, where it is then finished with the imported parts. When even the United States has the largest number of such corporations, it is not the only. Other multinationals, for instance, are based in Japan, France, Germany, the UK and Italy.
Labor, too, is much more mobile than in the past. Both skilled and unskilled workers can now readily migrate from one country to another. In Europe, for example, there are large num¬bers of Turkish workers employed in the Germany Economy. Doctors, lawyers, and other professionals are also finding it easier to work in foreign countries. The labor market has become in¬ternational, and the number of expatriate workers is continuing to grow.
The passage is mainly about______.
选项
A、the dependence of the industrial countries on imported oil
B、the fundamental change in world economy
C、the expansion of international corporations
D、the Internet and world economy
答案
B
解析
主旨题。文章一开头就点明了主题:在过去30年中,世界经济发生了根本变化(basic change)。然后从几个方面讲述这些变化:第二段讲了全球经济一体化,第三段讲了生产国际化,第四段讲了劳动力流动性增大。A、C、D都在文章中提到,但只是一个细节,不能概括全文的大意。故B是正确答案。
