　 21*. 高管的收入

　　by 乱舞菊花

　　有人批评高管不应拿那么高的工资，作者持反对态度，然后第二段就是作者为自己的理由辩护。

　　参考文献(重要，原文，原题!)

　　Although recent censure of corporate boards of directors as “passive” and “supine” may be excessive, those who criticize board performance have plenty of substantive ammunition. Too many corporate boards fail in their two crucial responsibilities of overseeing long-term company strategy and of selecting, evaluating, and determining appropriate compensation of top management. At times, despite disappointing corporate performance, compensation of chi executive officers reaches indensibly high levels, nevertheless, suggestions that the government should legislate board rorm are premature. There are ample opportunities for boards themselves to improve corporate performance.

　　Most corporate boards’ compensation committees focus primarily on peer-group comparisons. They are content if the pay of top executives approximates that of the executives of competing firms with comparable short-term earnings or even that of executives of competing firms of comparable size. However, mimicking the compensation policy of competitors for the sake of parity means neglecting the value of compensation as a means of stressing long-term performance. By tacitly detaching executive compensation policy from long-term performance, committees harm their companies and the economy as a whole. The committees must develop incentive compensation policies to emphasize long-term performance. For example a board’s compensation committee can, by carully proportioning straight salary and such short-term and long-term incentives as stock options, encourage top management to pursue a responsible strategy.

　　22*. 拉美文学

　　本篇考古很多，信息点是经过总结的，答案1-4都由790大牛提供，后面答案分数不祥，另外关键是第二段，读文请注意这两部作品的关系。

　　by jacinth17

　　Latino American 文学，讲的大概是拉丁美洲的作者出书比较困难，还举了两本书，一本是V打头的，讲的是女作者在墨西哥和美国边境战争中做随行医护人员的经历

　　考古

　　第一段是说1960年代以来，拉丁文学得到了很大重视。但是很多美国的作家对这个的发展的影响却没有被大家所了解。第一段结尾讲到了那些60年代以前的作家的贡献被人们忽略了，从而引出了第二段。

　　第二段讲那两个作家了女作家morgan先用spanish根据自己亲身经历写的书没受重视，翻成英文还是不受重视，后来到了1994(当时看到这里忍不住笑了)，出于为了重视拉丁文学，她的作品终于发表了。同样地，有一个诗人Williams用拉丁文写诗，不被学者认为是什么美国文学史的一部分，也都没有被归到什么里面(类似荣誉称号之类的)，有人在1994年出了个不知道是research还是study的名字叫“…Williams…”使得他的诗引起了重视，才广获好评。

　　PS：有细节题问两本书的关系，有JJ里提到唯一的关键语句是：L show evidence of revolutionary .. about W&aposs **(作品名)，and W is viewed as a famous poet in the 20&aposs Century. 这个描述比较模糊，并且与参考答案有点出入请考生考试时多加注意

　　版本三、robbiesun790巨牛

　　Q1：问的是这两个作家有什么共同点，正确答案应该是他们的贡献都被忽略了

　　Q2：有个题目问1994年出版的两个作品的本质：前者是自传，后者是对诗的评论分析;有错误选项是说第二部作品是翻译诗的，注意千万不要选错

　　Q3：问以下哪个关于女作家的描述正确：有两个错误选项是女作家不是bilingual的，女作家对作品是否发表持indifference的态度;我选的是女作家对某件事持的不是中立的态度，因为原文说她的书challenge了某件事，定位描述女作家作品的那几行就能找到答案了

　　Q4：问关于60-70年代的拉丁文作家那个为真：因为是细节题我记不清了，答案在第一段开头那几行里面。

　　Q5：第二题问那个女作家的作品有什么特点。我选了说，里面描述了一些事实性的内容(某个革命战争吧)

　　Q6：有题目说1960，70，80拉丁文学发展的情况是什么，好像就是说得到了很大发展吧。

　　Q7：2.第二段总共介绍了女作家(暂且用L代替)和叫W的诗人，问他们各自出版两本书(1994)的关系：

　　A: L&aposs work is a history 著作, and W&aposs is the translation of L.

　　B: L&aposs work is a history work, and W&aposs is the poet of translated of L.

　　C: L&aposs work is a history work ,and W&aposs is a poet of revolutionary...(我选了这个)

　　DE不记得了
