Arboria is floundering in the global marketplace, incurring devastating losses in market position and profits. The problem is not Arboria's products, but Arboria's trade policy. Arboria faces the prospect of continuing economic loss until Arborian business and political leaders recognize the fundamental differences between Arborian and foreign economic systems. Today the key trade issue is not free trade versus protectionism but diminishing trade versus expanding trade.

Arboria is operating with an obsolete trade policy, an artifact of the mid-1940s when Arboria and Whorfland dominated the global economy, tariffs were the principal obstacle to trade, and Arborian supremacy was uncontested in virtually all industries. In the intervening decades, economic circumstances have shifted radically. Arborian trade policy has not.

Today, Arboria's trade policy seems paralyzed by the relentless conflict between proponents of “free” and “fair” trade. The free traders argue that Arborian markets should be open, and the movement of goods and services across national borders unrestrained. The fair traders assert that access to Arborian markets should be restricted until Arborian businesses are granted equal access to foreign markets. They contend that free trade is impossible while other nations erect barriers to Arborian exports.

Both are correct: fair trade requires equal access and equal access leads to free trade. But both sides base their positions on the same two outdated premises:

1. Global commerce is conducted under the terms of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and dominated by Arboria and similar economic systems abroad.

2. Multilateral negotiations are the most effective way to resolve pressing trade issues.

Both assumptions are wrong. The 40-year-old GATT now covers less than 7 percent of global commerce. World trade is no longer dominated by the free-trade economies; nearly 75 percent is conducted by economic systems operating with principles at odds with those of Arboria. Forging a multilateral trade policy consensus among so many diverse economic systems has become virtually impossible. And while multilateral talks drag on, Arboria misses opportunities for trade expansion.

In presenting the argument in the passage, the author uses all of the following EXCEPT:

statistical information about global commerce definitions of terms concerning world trade generalizations about Arboria's economic system historical background of Arborian trade policy an example of an economic system whose principles differ from those of Arboria

文章大意逻辑
Arboria在全球市场陷入困境，亏损严重。问题出在贸易政策而非产品。其面临持续经济损失，除非商界和政界领导人认识到本国与外国经济体系的根本差异。如今关键贸易问题是贸易萎缩与贸易扩张，而非自由贸易与保护主义之争。Arboria的贸易政策过时，源于20世纪40年代中期，当时Arboria和Whorfland主导全球经济，关税是贸易主要障碍。此后经济形势巨变，但Arboria贸易政策未变。现在其贸易政策因“自由”和“公平”贸易支持者的冲突而陷入瘫痪，双方基于两个过时前提。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型为问题分析型。逻辑简图： Arboria's problem: floundering in global marketplace due to trade policy Historical background: trade policy from mid 1940s, economic dominance then Current situation: paralyzed by "free" and "fair" trade conflict, both based on outdated premises 做题方法及问题类型
问题类型为细节排除题，做题方法是通过逐一核对选项，在原文中查找是否提及相关内容来排除。 选项分析
A选项：文章未提及任何关于全球商业的统计信息，符合题意。 B选项：文中讨论“free trade”“fair trade”等属于对世界贸易术语的定义，该选项被使用，排除。 C选项：文章对Arboria经济系统有概括性描述，如贸易政策过时等，该选项被使用，排除。 D选项：文中提到Arboria贸易政策源于20世纪40年代中期，属于历史背景介绍，该选项被使用，排除。 E选项：文章只是说Arboria要认识到与外国经济体系差异，但未给出其他经济体系原则不同的例子，符合题意。综上，答案是E。
