问题 The primary purpose of the passage is to ______
The passage suggests which of the following about the majority of United States manufacturing industries before the high-technology development era of the 1980’s?

选项 A、They lost many of their most innovative personnel to small entrepreneurial enterprises.
B、They experienced a major decline in profits during the 1960’s and 1970’s.
C、They could provide real economic benefits to the areas in which they were located.
D、They employed workers who had no specialized skills.
E、They actively interfered with local entrepreneurial ventures.

答案C

解析 The best answer is C. The final sentence of the first paragraph suggests that, during the 1960’s and 1970’s, a town that attracted a manufacturer thereby achieved a “triumph” (line 9), whereas a town losing one of these industries suffered a “tragedy” (line 10). It is thus suggested that the majority of these industries prior to the 1980’s could provide real economic benefits to the areas in which they were located. Choice D can be eliminated, because although the last sentence of the second paragraph suggests that manufacturing industries prior to the 1980’s did not limit their employment to a specially trained fraction of manufacturing workers, it does not suggest that the majority of these industries employed workers who had no specialized skills. Nothing in the passage suggests any of the statements made in A, B, and E.
