Text 1
A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap, but, if
properly handled, it may become a driving force. When the United States entered just
。 - 9 -
such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War, it had a market eight
times larger than any competitor, giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.
Its scientists were the world’s best, its workers the most skilled. America and
Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose
economies the war had destroyed.
It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew
richer. Just as inevitably, the retreat from predominance proved painful. By the
mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial
competitiveness. Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had
shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition. By 1987 there was only one
American television maker left, Zenith. (Now there is none: Zenith was bought by
South Korea’s LG Electronics in July.) Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping
into the domestic market. America’s machine-tool industry was on the ropes. For a
while it looked as though the making of semiconductors, which America had invented
and which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.
All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped taking prosperity for
granted. They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing, and that
their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought
one inquiry after another into the causes of America’s industrial decline. Their
sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing
competition from overseas.
How things have changed! In 1995 the United States can look back on five years
of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely
to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle.
Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride. “American industry has changed its structure,
has gone on a diet, has learnt to be more quick-witted,” according to Richard
Cavanagh, executive dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. “It makes
me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their
productivity,” says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, a think-tank in Washington,
DC. And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will
look back on this period as “a golden age of business management in the United
States.”
51. The U.S. achieved its predominance after World War II because ________.
[A] it had made painstaking efforts towards this goal
[B] its domestic market was eight times larger than before

[D] the unparalleled size of its workforce had given an impetus to its economy

in the fact that the American ________.
[A] TV industry had withdrawn to its domestic market
[B] semiconductor industry had been taken over by foreign enterprises
[C] machine-tool industry had collapsed after suicidal actions
[D] auto industry had lost part of its domestic market
53. What can be inferred from the passage?
[A] It is human nature to shift between self-doubt and blind pried.
[B] Intense competition may contribute to economic progress.
