Passage 37 结论解释型（贸易集团的趋势） As the economic role of multinational， global corporations expands， the international economic environment will be shaped increasingly*2C not by governments*2A or international institutions， but by the interaction between governments and global corporations， especially in the United States， Europe， and Japan.（判断句） A significant factor in this shifting world economy is the trend*1C toward regional trading blocs of nations， which has a potentially large effect on the evolution of the world trading system. （也是判断句，这句才是主题句）Two examples of this trend*4C*6C are the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement and Europe 1992*5， the move by the European Community to dismantle impediments*5A消除壁垒 to the free flow of goods， services， capital， and labor among member states by the end of 1992. However（之前讲的是相同点，之后很可能讲不同点——形成原因不同）， although numerous political and economic factors were operative in launching the move to integrate the EC’s markets， concern about protectionism within the EC does not appear to have been a major consideration. This is in sharp contrast to（强对比，接着讲不同点） the FTA; the overwhelming reason for that bilateral initiative was fear of increasing United States protectionism*2E. Nonetheless（转折，又讲相同点）， although markedly different in origin and nature， both regional developments are highly significant*3E in that they will foster integration in the two largest and richest markets of the world*2D， as well as provoke questions about the future direction of the world trading system.
