To take advantage of this tool,some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonialprejudices with respect to foreign investment. Countries that still thinkforeign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study thehistory of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) inthe United States.When the United Statesbuilt its industrial infrastructure, it didn’t have the capital to do so. Andthat is why America’s Second Wave infrastructure — including roads, harbors,highways, ports and so on — were built with foreign investment. The English,the Germans, the Dutch and the French were investing in Britain’sformer colony. They financed them. Immigrant Americans built them. Guess whoowns them now? The Americans. I believe the same thing would be true in placeslike Brazilor anywhere else for that matter. The more foreign capital you have helping youbuild your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronicinfrastructure, the better off you’re going to be. That doesn’t mean lying downand becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. But itdoes mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy andtelecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.

要想利用互联网，某些贫困国家必须克服对国外投资所持的过时了的反殖民的种种偏见。那些认为外国投资是对本国主权的侵犯的国家最好还是研究一下美国的基础设施(社会的基本结构基础)建设历史。当初美国建设自己的工业基础设施时，缺乏必要的资金，因此美国的第二次浪潮基础设施——包括公路、港口，高速公路、港口城市等等——都是用国外资金建造的。英国人、德国人、荷兰人和法国人都在前英国殖民地投资。他们提供资金，美洲移民建造。想想看，现在谁拥有这一切?美国人。我想，在这件事上，像巴西或其他任何地方同样也该这样。你拥有的去建造第三次浪潮基础设施(今天主要指电子基础设施)的外国资金越多，那么你的情况就越好。这并不是说卑躬屈膝，任人愚弄，也不是对外国公司不加控制。但这的确意味着你已认识到外国公司对本国能源及通信基础设施建设的重要性，这些基础设施是充分利用互联网所必要的。

题型识别：例证题

题干定位：定位到文中最后一段

思路解析：例子是为主题服务的关键，是要找到例子所对应的观点和结论。

文章前两句话的理解非常重要：

To take advantage of this tool, someimpoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreigninvestment. Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion oftheir sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basicstructural foundations of a society) inthe United States.

要想利用互联网，某些贫困国家必须克服对国外投资所持的过时了的反殖民的种种偏见。那些认为外国投资是对本国主权的侵犯的国家最好还是研究下美国的基础设施(社会的基本结构基础)建设历史。

解释一下：这两句的观点就是表明，应该使用外资。美国的例子就是说明应该使用外资。所以后面关于美国人是怎么样使用外资的就不重要了。

选项分析：当明确了观点之后，选项就没有干扰性了。

[D] accepting foreign investment 为正确选项。

特别提醒：例证题的答案一定源自于例子所对应的观点。
