67.    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?

(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.
为什么答案是C. 题目是没有提过in the past的情况呀?

68.Leaders of a miners' union on strike against Coalco are contemplating additional measures to pressure the company to accept the union's contract proposal.  The union leaders are considering as their principal new tactic a consumer boycott against Gasco gas stations, which are owned by Energy Incorporated, the same corporation that owns Coalco.

The answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly revelant to the union leaders' consideration of whether attempting a boycott of Gasco will lead to acceptance of their contract proposal?

(A) Would revenue losses by Gasco seriously affect Energy Incorporated?
(B) Can current Gasco customers easily obtain gasoline elsewhere?
(C) Have other miners' unions won contracts similar to the one proposed by this union?
(D) Have other unions that have employed a similar tactic achieved their goals with it?
(E) Do other corporations that own coal companies also own gas stations?
这个题我在C,E徘徊还是选了C. 哪位大侠可以帮忙解释一下为什么选E不选C?
多谢指教

刚好做到这道题，这个leader要通过抵制G加油站（题目说到是和他们同一个公司下的），来作为给公司压力接受他们建议（也就是跟总公司谈判啦）的战略，题目问，哪个选项对这个leader来说，在考虑谈判能否成功的因素中，关系是最小的一个。
C选项说的是：以前是否有类似成功的案例，如果有的话，那么这次成功的概率更大（即加强），没有，就更小（即削弱）

举个例子，你嫌自己的工资太低，想和领导argue一下，那在你考虑这个argue是否会成功的过程中，可能会考虑：以前是否有同事argue成功了，如果有，那肯定是增强了你argue的信心的。所以这个选项，肯定是很有关的

68的E更明显嘛。
