Professor A: We must make a strong moral
statement against Country X’s policies. Only total divestment—the sale of all
stock in companies that have factories or business offices in X—can do this. Therefore,
the university should divest totally.
Professor B: Our aim should be to encourage X
to change its policies. Partial divestment is the best way to achieve this aim.
Therefore, the university should sell its stock only in companies that either
sell goods to X’s government, or do the majority of their business in X, or
treat their workers in X unfairly.
17. Professor
A’s and Professor B’s arguments differ in which of the following ways?
(A) They state

(B) They state
different goals but propose the same way of achieving them.
(C) They state
different goals and propose different ways of achieving them.
(D) They
disagree about whether the university should sell any stock at all.(C)
(E) They
disagree about whether X’s policies are objectionable.
18. Which
of the following, if true, would be evidence that the university would not be
harmed economically if it followed Professor A’s recommendation.
(A) Very few of
the companies in which the university owns stocks sell goods to X’s government.
(B) Most
companies that have factories or business offices in X and in which the
university owns stock actually do little of their business in X.
(C) Some
companies that have factories or business offices in X and in which the
university owns stock have instituted fair treatment policies for their workers
in X at very little additional cost to the companies.
(D) The
expected financial return to the university from stocks that the university
could own under a policy of total divestment is approximately the same as the
expected financial return from the same as the expected financial.(D)
(E) If the university
sold large blocks of stock under a policy of total divestment, the prices of
the stocks of the companies whose stocks were sold would probably decrease somewhat.

尤其是divest无法理解,以前有人教我不认识的动词就翻译成“搞”,不过这次似乎行不通。。 |
