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?

(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.

 答案：C

 past been both more common and less common 怎么推出来的呢？？

 我选的a 又怎么错了呢？

  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.  我是从这句话推出A的

你举证A的这句话并不能直接指向A，因为造成would not otherwise be able to win的原因可能有很多，such as policy barrier（往往是主要原因），local knowledge, special resources, etc.,A所说的原因甚至排不上号，因为跨国项目并不一定就比国内项目大（不要想当然哦），而且现实一点说，比实力的话，没有多少外国公司比得上美国公司吧；C：先看前半句——in the past been more common,因为题干有提到“renaissance”，没话说，再看后半句——依据就在于你所举的would not otherwise be able to win，因为这块市场之前没有涉足或涉足不多，仅此而已。

  看来归纳就是不能随便乱想 哈

还有更好的解释吗？
