考研人數(shù)逐年增加，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)之激烈使得我們不得不加急復(fù)習(xí)的日程。眾所周知，閱讀理解占據(jù)了考研英語(yǔ)二100分試卷的一半分值，而考研英語(yǔ)閱讀文章大多來(lái)自英美國(guó)家的主流報(bào)刊雜志，所以如果能在日常就多多閱讀這些文章，對(duì)以后讀懂文章做對(duì)題目來(lái)說(shuō)會(huì)大有裨益。
學(xué)習(xí)步驟如下：
1.不看漢語(yǔ)譯文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看漢語(yǔ)譯文比對(duì)自己理解的意思與之出入
3.強(qiáng)化記憶重點(diǎn)單詞（以記憶其漢語(yǔ)意思為主）
But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.
短文翻譯
但研究人員認(rèn)為,如果外部董事在壞消息傳出之前就離開(kāi)公司,他們便可輕松地避免自己的名譽(yù)受損,哪怕有記錄表明每次公司發(fā)生壞事時(shí),他們?nèi)栽诠揪吐殹９疽朐诶щy時(shí)期留住這些外部董事,就必須建立一些獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)機(jī)制。否則外部董事將會(huì)效仿西蒙斯女士,離開(kāi)董事會(huì),在校園重獲歡迎。

題目解析
24.【解析】根據(jù)題干定位到文章最后一段。文章最后兩句指出“如果公司想在艱難時(shí)期留住獨(dú)立董事，就必須建立激勵(lì)制度。否則，獨(dú)立董事都將效仿Simmons女士”，由此，可以推斷，獨(dú)立董事如果有激勵(lì)制度刺激的話，就可能留在公司，選項(xiàng)A“可能由于誘人的條件而留在公司”是對(duì)這個(gè)意思的同義替換，其中的關(guān)鍵詞attractive offer就等同于原文中的incentives，故選 A。B項(xiàng)“通常在公司有不良行為的記錄”，與最后一段首句邏輯相反；C項(xiàng)在本段中根本沒(méi)有涉及到，屬于無(wú)中生有；D項(xiàng)與文章最后兩句意思相反，故排除。
25.【解析】首先根據(jù)題干信息“the role of outside directors”可以回文定位到第二段首句“Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased, advisers on a firm’s board”，講述獨(dú)立董事所扮演的角色是“helpful”和“l(fā)ess biased”的，這是對(duì)獨(dú)立董事作用的積極評(píng)論；其次，文章最后一段指出“如果公司想在艱難時(shí)期留住獨(dú)立董事，就必須建立激勵(lì)制度”這說(shuō)明獨(dú)立董事對(duì)于一個(gè)公司確實(shí)是有用的，否則不會(huì)特意建立針對(duì)他們的激勵(lì)制度。因此，綜合全文而言，作者認(rèn)為獨(dú)立董事所起的作用是積極的，答案選B。
