“The La Brea Tar Pits” in paragraph 4 probably signifies things that _____.
A

can be traced back to the prehistoric age

B

are traps for those who want to inquire

C

are located in one place forever

D

don’t deserve full investigation

参考答案和解析
正确答案: D
解析:
最后一段第一句作者提到许多关于领导艺术的理论流行一段时间就消失了。第四句起作者提到这些理论没有一个能经得住时间的检验。有了这样的记录我们就不难理解为什么关于领导艺术的研究和理论这样令人沮丧,以至于人们把它说成是组织研究的“死亡陷阱”。这里所说的“死亡陷阱”是在位于洛杉矶的一处沥青坑里发现了不同纪的史前动物的遗址,这些动物来到此处是想探个究竟,结果就回不去了。

[A] instant [B] trivial [C] simple [D] negligible


正确答案:D

[精解] 本题考查词义理解。passing一词出现在第一段第四句。其上文提到,“债券交易员得到的两条建议有两处细微的缺陷。第一点是要从现任联邦储备局主席的嘴里听到精确而有分量的话不只是……的困难(more than passing difficulty)”。显然这一内容是针对上文第二条建议(即,美国联邦储备局前主席说的话都是金玉良言)而讲的。由“缺陷”(drawbacks)一词可知,从现任联邦储备局主席那听到金玉良言是非常困难的,这种困难不是“微不足道的”,因此[D]正确。
