Nowadays, a standard for measuring power has changed. These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer will a nation’s political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It’s often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.
America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess (威力) over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic (有讽刺性的) that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.
The competitiveness of America’s industrial base is an issue bigger than the department of defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society, government, industry, and education. That is not to say that the defense department will not be a strong force in the process. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior(救星) of American industry.
The purpose of writing this article is_______.
选项
A、to draw the readers’ attention to a new standard for measuring power
B、to demonstrate America political influence in the world
C、to emphasize that effort must be made to strengthen the declining U. S. industrial base
D、to show American industrial prowess
答案
C
解析
主旨题。本题可以根据整篇文章的结构判断。作者先讲到新标准的两个内容:military和economic competitiveness,然后谈到过去40年美国工业威力使美国成功的例子,最后指出美国潜在威胁在于工业基础。故C正确。
