阅读理解第四篇

Since the end of World War II, a broad consensus in support of global economic integration as a force for peace and prosperity has been a pillar of the international order. From global trade agreements to the European Union project; from the work of the Bretton Woods institutions to the removal of pervasive capital controls; from the vast expansion in foreign direct investment to major increases in the flow of people across borders, the overall direction has been clear. Driven by domestic economic progress, by technologies such as containerized shipping and the Internet that promote integration, and by legislative changes within countries and international agreements between countries, the world has gotten smaller and more closely connected.

第一段的主题句也就是第一句话Since the end of World War II, a broad consensus in support of global economic integration as a force for peace and prosperity has been a pillar of the international order,指出了二战后全球经济一体化的发展历程和影响,并不涉及文章主旨内容。

This broad program of global integration has been more successful than could reasonably have been hoped. We have not had a war between major powers. Global standards of living have risen faster than at any point in history. And material progress has coincided with even more rapid progress in combating hunger, empowering women, promoting literacy and extending life. A world that will have more smartphones than adults within a few years is a world in which more is possible for more people than ever before.

第二段同样不涉及核心内容,仍然是列举global integration造成的深远影响,可以大略阅读。

Yet a revolt against global integration is underway in the West. The four most prominent candidates for president of the United States all oppose the principal free-trade initiative of this period: the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Trump’s proposals to wall off Mexico, abrogate trade agreements and persecute Muslims are far more popular than he is. The Brexit movement in Britain commands substantial support and could prevail. Whenever any aspect of the E.U. project is submitted to a popular referendum, it fails. Under pressure from a large influx of refugees, the European commitment to open borders appears to be crumbling. In large part because of political constraints, the growth of the international financial institutions has not kept pace with the growth of the global economy.

第三段段首的YET是我们在讲解阅读技巧时提醒大家注意的一个逻辑标记,引出了文章探讨的核心——a revolt against global integration is underway in the West。

One substantial part of what is behind the resistance is a lack of knowledge. Everyone who loses a job because a factory moves abroad knows it; many who lose their jobs for local reasons blame globalization. But no one thanks international trade for the fact that their paycheck buys twice as much in clothes, toys and other goods as it otherwise would. Those who succeed as exporters tend to credit their own prowess, not international agreements. So there is certainly a case for our leaders and business communities to educate people about the benefits of global integration. But at this late date, with the trends moving the wrong way, it is hard to be optimistic about such efforts.

本段首句还是段落的主题句,探讨了经济一体化遭到反对的一部分原因在于缺少了解,所以需要leaders和business communities来宣扬其益处,尽管当前对此难以保持乐观。
