OG－VERB-43 请教

43．Which of the following is information provided by the passage above?

(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．

答案是C

不明白C选项在说什么，

个人理解：曾经很流行也曾经很落魄

现在又开始复兴

后来看了下解释，逐渐理解了。

Argument Construction

Situation When U．S．corporations share projects with other corporations，those projects yield less profit，but there is a decided benefit nonetheless．By participating in joint transnational projects，U．S．corporations can win(and participate in the profits of)foreign contracts they otherwise could not．(The same as the item above．)

Reasoning Whet information can be inferred from the passage? Answering this question requires careful attention to the words used in the passage．The first sentence states that the United States is experiencing a modest renaissance of transnational cooperation．The word renaissance，meaning the revival of a former state of affairs or the resurgence after an intervening lull，indicates that transnational cooperation was once well established among American firms；it further implies that the practice once died out and now is making a comeback．The use of the word modest in describing this comeback suggests that transnational cooperation is not currently as widespread as it had been at one time．

A  The passage does not indicate that the shared projects are too big for one corporation．

B  The passage makes no claims about the quality of the performance．

C  Correct．This statement properly identifies information provided in the first sentence of the passage．

D  The passage indicates that the joint projects are indeed sufficiently profitable to be worth undertaking．

E  The passage does not suggest that benefits go only to those who commission projects．

The correct answer is C．

文章中仅仅提示适度的复兴，但是并不知道以前是more or less common

进一步的理解：过去1<现在<过去2

过去1，过去2都是过去，所以有more 有less
