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.

正确答案是C。我不懂C, 我知道renaissance在起作用，但是这个highlight部分有点自相矛盾啊。求解。

我的理解是，renaissance是复兴，就是之前曾经兴盛的文化，后来衰落了，现在再兴起。那个more common就是说有一段时间兴盛，less common是说后来衰落了。~~这两个指的都是过去，但不是过去的同一个时间点

这选项用词实在怪。

copy来的

first, the word “renaissance” (rebirth) implies that transnational cooperation is now on the rise, after previously having a lower level. so that takes care of the “lower in the past” part of the correct answer.

second, the renaissance is described as “modest”. the only way this description would be reasonable is if transnational cooperation has not re-achieved its previous levels; there's the “higher in the past” part.

"renaissance" implies that the level has gone up; "modest" implies that it hasn't gone all the way back up to previous levels.
