One hundred boats bearing one million desperate uninvited immigrants set sail from the Ganges (恒 河)for the fabled coast of the French Riviera. They are totally destitute and have decided that their only chance of survival is in a country with a conscience that traditionally welcomes refugees from the Third Word. Their journey will take 50 days.
In France,the news is trumpeted with pride by the liberal media,churchmen and left-wing activists. Favorable media echoes are heard all over Europe. Political leaders and the armed forces fumble for common policies. Publicly,French authorities praise the intrepid voyagers. Privately,they exchange ideas on how they can divert one million hungry souls to other shores.
A trendy French Radio journalist,Albert Dufort, sees the makings of a historical redistribution of wealth between the First and Third Worlds. "We’re all from the Ganges now. "he proclaims. Schoolchil-dren write essays eulogizing latter day"sans culottes". The theme is picked up and sweeps across the continent.
As the armada makes it through the Straits of Gibraltar, panic sets in. The inhabitants of the French Riviera begin to flee north. The president of France orders the armed forces deployed along the coast. They are told their mission is to defend the country against the now imminent invasion of one million poverty-stricken people from the Ganges. But with ears glued to their transistor radios,they heed Dufort’s call not to oppose the landings. They desert en masse. Police open jail cells before shedding their uniforms and hotfooting it home to take care of their families.
Terrified by what he has wrought, Dufort heads for Switzerland in his expensive sports car,but he js recognized en route and murdered. As hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of coastal towns and the surrounding Provence country move north,tens of thousands of revolutionary students travel south to greet their Ganges brothers.
Unbeknownst to the welcoming throngs of idealists,the Ganges multitudes are coming to settle scores with the wealthy West that has kept them subjugated without hope of a better life. They hate the West their leaders said had robbed them of the higher standard of living they are entitled to.
The one million Ganges folk are not alone. Millions of others are monitoring their progress from all over the Third World and plan to follow them to the promised Land. Thus the Third World conquers mod-em industrialized societies, but not before much mayhem and unspeakable carnage and atrocities.
From the last paragraph it can be concluded that____.
选项
A、the author of the passage believes that the Third World will conquer the modem industrialized societies in the near future
B、the author of the passage reveals his doubtful attitude toward the historical move of the Indian emigrants
C、the author of the passage thinks that there won’t be any more large-scaled move from the Third World to the industrialized countries
D、the author of the passage thinks highly of what France has done in receiving the one million desperate uninvited immigrants
答案
B
解析
题目问:从最后一段可以得出什么结论?通过文章最后一段可知,其他第三世界国家的人们也在虎视眈眈,希望有一天能够占领发达国家。据此判断,文章作者对印度移民这一历史性的迁移表示怀疑。所以,答 案是B。
