Transnational cooperation among corporations is experiencing a modest renaissance[c1] 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)[c1] Transnational cooperation involves projects too big for a single corporation to handle.
(B) [c2]Transnational cooperation results in a pooling of resources leading to high-quality performance.
(C)[c3] 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[c4] enough to be worth undertaking.
(E) Joint projects between United States
and foreign corporations benefit only those who commission the projects[c5].
[c1]无关
[c2]无关
[c3]Correct，说明全盛期的时候比现在more common，低谷期的时候比现在less common
[c4]题目要的是支持，这是削弱
[c5]没有相关信息，无法判断。太绝对

Some airlines allegedly reduce fares on certain routes to a level at which they lose money, in order to drive competitors off those routes.However, this method of eliminating competition cannot be profitable in the long run.Once an airline successfully implements this method, any attempt to recoup the earlier losses by charging high fares on that route for an extended period would only provide competitors with a better opportunity to undercut the airline's fares.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
(A) In some[c1] countries it is not illegal for a company to drive away competitors by selling a product below cost.
(B)[c2] Airline executives generally believe that a company that once underpriced its fares to drive away competitors is very likely to do so again if new competitors emerge.
(C)[c3] As part of promotions designed to attract new customers, airlines sometimes reduce their ticket prices to below an economically sustainable level.
(D)[c4] On deciding to stop serving particular routes, most airlines shift resources to other routes rather than reduce the size of their operations.
(E)[c5] When airlines dramatically reduce their fares on a particular route, the total number of air passengers on that route increases greatly.
感觉B像加强、我的理解原文的结论是：通过降价，暂时赶跑竞争者，但一旦要升高价格，那只会提供给竞争者再来抢夺份额的机会。而B，一旦降价赶跑竞争者，当新的消费者出现时，还会这样做。若理解为削弱，是因为与原文说赶跑竞争者后升高价格矛盾吗？？求解释
而我错选的E选项：好像是无关的。。。。
[c1]部分情况不影响结论
[c2]Correct
[c3]具体说明原文的降价而已，不影响
[c4]无关
[c5]无关
At present the Hollywood Restaurant has only standard-height tables.However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood
, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities.Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables.Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase.
The argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that
(A) some celebrities come to the Hollywood
to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available
(B) the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood
compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals
(C) a customer of the Hollywood
who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering
(D) a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer
(E) with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood
's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables
选D对吗？这个题做过的，忘记了
The imposition of quotas limiting imported steel will not help the big American steel mills.In fact, the quotas will help "mini-mills" flourish in the United States
.Those small domestic mills will take more business from the big American steel mills than would have been taken by the foreign steel mills in the absence of quotas.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the claim made in the last sentence above?
(A)[c1] Quality rather than price is a major factor in determining the type of steel to be used for a particular application.
(B) Foreign steel mills have long produced grades of steel comparable in quality to the steel produced by the big American mills.
(C) American quotas on imported goods have often induced other countries to impose similar quotas on American goods.
(D)[c2] Domestic "mini-mills" consistently produce better grades of steel than do the big American mills.
(E)[c3] Domestic "mini-mills" produce low-volume, specialized types of steel that are not produced by the big American steel mills.
E]Correct。强调了小钢厂和大钢厂竞争的不是同样的市场。所以不存在小钢厂抢大钢厂市场份额的事情
