32、s 21-25 参考答案及解析: 21.【A】enhance bankers sense of responsibility;细节题。题目中明确出题段落(According to Paragraph 1)及相应的信息点(one motive in imposing the new rule),因此,答案来源句则为第一段的第三句(The main purpose of this “clawback” rule is to hold bankers accountable for harmful risk-taking and to restore public trust in financia
33、l institution这个规则主要目的是让银行家为不良风险负责以及修复公众对金融机构的信任) ,那么答案基本就很容易提取出来。选项中的“sense of responsibility”则对应到句中的 “enhance bankers sense of responsibility (增加银行的责任感) ” ;而其他的选项则与最佳选项无缘,在定位区间中没有相应的对应信息。 欢迎您阅读并下载本文档,本文档来源于互联网,如有侵权请联系删除!我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档! 22.【D】 short-termism in economic activities;细节题。题干中的定位信息在“Alfre
34、d Marshall ”上,直接定位到第二段的第二句“He quotes a giant of classical economies, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financial impatience as acting.”,定位信息里的“this financial impatience”则是回指第二段首句的“Short-termism”,故信息点则为“Short-termism”,所以最佳选项则为 short-termism in economic activities ,而其他选项在定位信息中未提及; 23. 【B】 adverse ;
35、细节题。 此题的定位信息为题干的 “transient investment” ,直接定位到第三段的第二句“Transient investors, who demand high quarterly profits from companies, can hinder a firms efforts to invest in long-term research or to build up customer loyalty”,从四个选项的褒贬正负来看indirect、minimal 和 temporary 为中性的表述,只有 B 选项的 adverse 为明确的负面表达,意思为“不利的”,
36、与原文中的“hinder” (阻碍打扰)对应上。 24.【C】the approaches to promoting long-termism ;例证题。根据题干的具体信息定位,美国和法国的例子是用来支撑什么论点。原文的第五、六段则提供了具体的信息,第五段中美国延迟发放才上任一年左右的高管绩效津贴,继而促进缓解“短期主义”盛行的现状;第六段则提及在法国持股两年以上者拥有更大的选票权。所以,最佳选项应为“促进长期主义的方法”,与原文一致; 25.【B】Patience as a Corporate Virtue;主旨题。题干中的 title 为标题题的信息,所以此题考查的是文章的主旨大意; B
37、选项里的 patience 可以对应到全文中反复出现的主题词“short-termism”和“long-termism”,corporate本身在文章中出现多次,所以 B 选项则为最近标题,体现主旨大意;其余选项均不能概括全文,故排除。 Text 2 Grade inflation-the gradual increase in average GPAs(grade-point averages) over the past few decadesis often considered a product of a consumer era in higher education, in wh

Grade forgiveness allows students to retake a course in which they received
39、a low grade, and the most recent grade or the highest grade is the only one that counts in calculating a student s overall GPA. The use of this little-known practice has accelerated in recent years, as colleges continue to do their utmost to keep students in school (and paying tuition) and improve t
40、heir graduation rates. When this practice first started decades ago, it was usually limited to freshmen, to give them a second chance to take a class in their first year if they struggled in their transition to college-level courses. But now most colleges save for many selective campuses, allow all
41、undergraduates, and even graduate students, to get their low grades forgiven. College officials tend to emphasize that the goal of grade forgiveness is less about the grade itself and more about encouraging students to retake courses critical to their degree program and graduation without incurring
42、a big penalty. “Untimely,” said Jack Miner, Ohio State Universitys registrar,“we see students achieve more success because they retake a course and do better in subsequent contents or master the content that allows them to graduate on time. ” That said, there is a way in which grade forgiveness sati
43、sfies colleges own needs as well. For public institutions, state funds are sometimes tied partly to their success on metrics such as graduation rates and student retentionso better grades can, by boosting figures like those, mean more money. And anything that raises GPAs will likely make studentswho

Indeed, grade forgiveness is just another way that universities are responding to consumers expectations for higher education. Since students and paren

50、considered a product of a consumer era in higher education.” 题干中的 be regarded as 对应原文中的 is considered,题干中的 the cause of(后边接结果)与原文中的 a product of (前边接结果)都表示因果关系。选项 D 中 consumer 是原文中的复现,其他选项都不具备干扰性,因此答案选择 D。 27.【A】To help freshmen adapt to college learning;细节题。根据题干中的关键词, 我们只能定位到文章的第二段, 但是第二段讲的是 grade
51、forgiveness具体是什么,并没有提及它的目的,然后接下看第三段的首句,出现了 this little-known practice 指的就是 grade forgiveness。而且题干中的 the original purpose 对应原文中的在第三段第二句话: “When this practice first started decades ago, it was usually limited to freshmen, to give them a second chance to take a class in their first year if they struggl
52、ed in their transition to college-level courses.”选项 A 中的 freshmen 是原词复现,help 是对应原文中的 give them a second chance ,adapt to 对应原文中的 struggled in their transition to ,college learning 对应原文中的college-level courses。因此答案为 A。 28. 【A】 obtain more financial support; 细节题。 根据题干中的关键词 paragraph 5、grade forgiveness
53、和 colleges 可以定位到第五段的第一句,即 grade forgiveness 能够满足学生的需求,但是对应选项并没有对应的答案,所以接着往下看,提到了国家基金与他们的成功有关,得到更好地分数意为这拿到更多的钱。选项 A 中的 financial support 指的就是 state funds。因此答案为 A。 29.【C】to be identical with each other;猜词题。根据题干,可以定位到第六段最后一句话:“On this, students and colleges incentives seem to be aligned.”所以解题的关键是找到 thi
54、s 指代的内容。This 指代的是前一句话,即:因为学生和家长都希望通过大学学历来找工作,所以学校的最佳利益是尽可能地把学生培养成有能力胜任的人,或者至少看起来是那样。由此可以的欢迎您阅读并下载本文档,本文档来源于互联网,如有侵权请联系删除!我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档! 出学生和学校的目标是一致的,选项 C 中的 be identical with 表示的是与相同,因此答案为 C。 30.【B】analyzing the causes behind it;主旨题。题干的字面意思是作者是通过什么样的方式来检验 grade forgiveness 的实践操作,但是是考查文章的主旨,属于主旨题。阅
55、读每段的段落大意句,可以得出文章主要讲解的是 grade forgiveness 的原因。因此答案为 B。 Text 3 This year marks exactly two countries since the publication of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, by Mary Shelley.
