[D] 没有反映出经济的真实状况
57. The author raises the question “what about pain without gain?” because _____ .
[A] he questions the truth of “no gain without pain”
[B] he does not think the productivity revolution works
[C] he wonders if the official statistics are misleading
[D] he has conclusive evidence for the revival of businesses
[答案] B
[解题思路]
本题可以采用排除法。题干提到的这句话出现在文章的第一句,是作者用来引出话题的,而并不是文章的主题,因此A选项首先可以排除。关于C选项,文章第二段的开头说到“The official statistics are mildly discouraging”(官方的统计数字却有点不容乐观),但是discouraging并不代表misleading,所以C选项也错误。关于D选项,第二段第五句话认为“The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is due to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business cycle, and so is not conclusive evidence of a revival in the underlying trend”,因此D选项与原文意思相反,是错误选项。文章最后一句指出“He dismisses a lot of the work of re engineering consultants as mere rubbish - “the worst sort of ambulance cashing.””(BBDO的艾尔•罗森夏恩更加直率,他把许多重组咨询专家所做的工作视为垃圾——“典型的劳而无获”),可见作者对于生产力革命是持否定态度的,因此正确选项为B。
