67.   (34143-!-item-!-188;#058&007613)

 

Transnational cooperation among corporations is experiencing a modest renaissance among United States firms, even though projects undertaken by two or more corporations under a collaborative agreement are less profitable than projects undertaken by a single corporation.  The advantage of transnational cooperation is that such joint international projects may allow United States firms to win foreign contracts that they would not otherwise be able to win.

 

Which of the following is information provided by the passage?

C

(A) Transnational cooperation involves projects too big for a single corporation to handle.

(B) Transnational cooperation results in a pooling of resources leading to high-quality performance.

(C) Transnational cooperation has in the past been both more common and less common than it is now among United States firms.

(D) Joint projects between United States and foreign corporations are not profitable enough to be worth undertaking.

(E) Joint projects between United States and foreign corporations benefit only those who commission the projects.

为什么选C？？过去常见于不常见与profitable有什么关系？

我觉得应该选E呀，因为joing projects只有利于那些承担了项目的公司，所以跨国合作是必要的。否则将失去这个项目，但来profit的损失。

in this question, understanding the word "modest"  is the key ,it means not very big/great and that is exactly what"both more common and less common " refers to

既更普遍了 但是有还是没有那么那么的普遍 就是modest的另一种说法  翻译这个句子的问题

说起来很绕  仔细想想就体会了

至于E 题干直说怎么怎么profit invovled company  但是并不能就直接说出了他们什么都不能benefit 这样太绝对了

这题关键还是C的翻译

这是个推导题啊，你对于E的想法是你自己的，推不出来的。

向楼上说的，modest是适中的意思，正好就是more and less，并且还有个renaissance，说明以前有过
