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。
What does the author think of re-training as a solution?

选项 A、It iS a one-size-fit-all solution.
B、It is not helpful to those hurt by trade and globalization.
C、It should meet the different needs of affected workforee.
D、It should not be talked about SO often.

答案C

解析 细节题。通过题干关键词re-training可定位到原文第四段。从原文“But it needs to take into account the different requirements of each workforce and needs to be part of …”可知,再培训需要考虑到每种劳动力的不同需求,故C项为正确答案。A项属于过度推断,原文讲的是“Too often we talk about re-training as a panacea”“我们经常说再培训是万能药”,但并不等于它就是万能药,故错误。B项“对被贸易和全球化伤害的人没有帮助”与原文相反,原文讲的是“And yes,it helps.”“是的,它有帮助”,故错误。D项“它不应该经常被谈论”原文没有提及,原文只是提到“我们经常谈论”而没有讲“我们应不应该谈论”的问题,故错误。故本题选C。
