Passage 1
Greater Wealth of Nations
Conclusion of the Uruguay Round is truly a triumph in adversity. Securing agreement among so many countries on such a complex raft of trade agreements frequently seemed an insuperable challenge in the past seven years. Whatever the shortcoming of the result, the original vision of a broad expansion of international trade law is now much closer to fulfillment. More remarkable still so is the dream that drove the founding fathers of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade: that of a liberal rule-based international trading system overseen by an authoritative world trade organization.
The Final Act of the Uruguay Round promise to bring farm products within GATT discipline. Inclusion of farm trade, though incomplete, will reduce the danger of international conflict over dumping of subsidized surpluses, reinforce market-based agricultural reforms that are gradually being introduced in the developed world, and give developing countries a better chance of exploiting theircomparative advantage as food producers. In textiles, gradual phasing out of the protectionist Multifibre Arrangement will eventually allow greater international competition and force overdue restructuring of textile industries in the developed world. The agreement provides for significant elaboration of rules designed to ensure that trade is fair as well as free. It promises greater clarity concerning when and for how long countries will be permitted to resort to"safeguard"measures against imports, to impose anti-dumping duties and to subsidize domestic industries.
A liberal and rules-based international trading system is completely fulfilled after the Uruguay Round
A、正确
B、错误
【正确答案】：B
【名师解析】:题目中提到了乌拉圭回合的结束是一个逆境中的胜利，它标志着国际贸易法的广泛扩展愿景更接近实现。然而，尽管取得了进展，但题目中也提到了“无论结果的缺陷如何”，这暗示了最终协议并非完美，还有一些未解决的问题。此外，题目中还提到了“一个自由和基于规则的国际贸易体系”的实现，但紧接着使用了“完全”这个词，这与题目中提到的“无论结果的缺陷如何”相矛盾。因此，选项A“正确”是不准确的，选项B“错误”是正确的答案。
题目的结论部分指出，尽管乌拉圭回合取得了一些成就，但并没有完全实现一个自由和基于规则的国际贸易体系，因为还存在一些缺陷和需要改进的地方。这与选项A的表述不符，因此选项B是正确的。
