Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.
Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death—as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.
The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.
The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep—and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.
The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.
In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states: “We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people.” The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.
Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.
1、21. According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?
A Physical beauty would be redefined.
B New runways would be constructed.
C Websites about dieting would thrive.
D The fashion industry would decline.
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的the first paragraph可定位至第一段。根据第一段第一句可知，法国已决定剥夺其时尚行业对女性形体美的绝对定义，随后提及禁止使用过瘦的模特。由此可知，过去以瘦为美的定义要发生改变，形体美将会被重新定义。因此选择A项。
错项排除：B项“将会建造新的时装T台”和D项“时尚产业将会衰落”在文章中未提及，故排除。C项“关于节食的网站将会蓬勃发展”与原文意思相反，故排除。
长难句分析：France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women.
本句为复合句，句子主干为France has decided…；which引导非限制性定语从句，对France进行说明；decided后为省略引导词that引导的宾语从句，该宾语从句的主干为its fashion industry has lost an absolute right，句末的不定式结构to define physical beauty for women为right的定语。
句意为：法国曾以自己是全球时尚的创新者而引以为豪，但是现在已经决定剥夺其在时尚产业对女性体型美的绝对定义权。
2、22. The phrase “impinging on” (Line 2, Para 2) is closest in meaning to ________.
A heightening the value of
B indicating the state of
C losing faith in
D doing harm to
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干可定位至原文第二段第二行。该短语位于修饰looks的定语从句中，表明此种外形对健康的影响。再根据beauty should not be defined by looks可知，划线短语应为消极、负面的影响，因此选择doing harm to，意为“对……有害”。
错项排除：根据前面的分析可知，题干的短语应表示负面的意思，A项为积极的意思，B项为中性的意思，都可排除。而C项与lose和health不能搭配，“对健康失去信心”不合逻辑，故排除。
3、23. Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?
A The French measures have already failed.
B New standards are being set in Denmark.
C Model are no longer under peer pressure.
D Its inherent problems are getting worse.
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的fashion industry可知，该题涉及的内容在第三至六段。根据第五段第二句可知，在丹麦、美国和一些其他国家，时尚行业正在尝试为模特和时尚人士设定自愿性质的标准，这些标准更加依赖时尚从业人员之间的同行压力来实行。而第六段中具体介绍了新标准的情况，因此选择B项。
错项排除：文章第四段指出了法国措施的不足，但并未说明法国的措施已经失败了，故排除A项。第五段中提及这些标准更加依赖时尚从业人员之间的同行压力来实行，因此可排除C项“模特们已经没有同行压力了”。第五段首句提及，这个行业很清楚自己的固有问题，并未说明问题变得更加严重，因此排除D项。
4、24. A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for ________.
A setting a high age threshold for models
B caring too much about models’ character
C showing little concern for health factors
D pursuing perfect physical conditions
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的A designer和CFW可定位至第六段第三句。该句指出，该宪章通过拒绝设计师和模特经纪人参加哥本哈根时装周来落实措施。再根据上文可知，推行的法规就是关注模特的年龄、健康等。由此可推知，不关注模特健康的设计师会被哥本哈根时装周拒绝。因此选择C项。
错项排除：文章虽然提及年龄，但没有具体的说明，故排除A项。新规定对模特的年龄、健康和其他特性提出要求，由此可知，模特对个性的关注不会成为被时装周拒绝的原因，原文未指出个性与资格的关系，故排除B项。D项在文章中未提及，故排除。
5、25. Which of the following may be the best title of the text?
A The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry
B Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty
C A Dilemma for the Starving Models in France
D A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
答案解析：
答案精析：通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了法国颁布法令，还介绍了包括丹麦在内的国家正尝试为时尚产业设置新的标准。这些都是对时尚产业的挑战，因此选择A项。
错项排除：A项“时尚行业面临的巨大威胁”属于推理过度，与作者的观点态度不符，故排除。B项“美学的又一轮斗争”过于宽泛，文章并未从美学角度进行阐述，故排除。C项“法国饥饿的模特面临的两难境地”只是文章的一个细节，不足以概括全文，故排除。
Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
For the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country. In Britain this has had a curious result. While polls show Britons rate “the countryside” alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political support.
A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save “the beauty of natural places for everyone forever.” It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience “a refreshing air.” Hill’s pressure later led to the creation of national parks and green belts. They don’t make countryside any more, and every year concrete consumes more of it. It needs constant guardianship.
At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment. The Conservatives’ planning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conservation, even authorising “off-plan” building where local people might object. The concept of sustainable development has been defined as profitable. Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planning where councils oppose development. The Liberal Democrats are silent. Only Ukip, sensing its chance, has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using green land. Its Campaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local Consecutive parties.
The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people are, in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million houses in the London are alone, with no intrusion on green belt. What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.
The idea that “housing crisis” equals “concreted meadows” is pure lobby talk. The issue is not the need for more houses but, as always, where to put them. Under lobby pressure, George Osborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets. This is not a free market but a biased one. Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their character. We do not ruin urban conservation areas. Why ruin rural ones?
Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands, Britain is Europe’s most crowded country. Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence, while still permitting low-density urban living. There is no doubt of the alternative—the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.
6、26. Britain’s public sentiment about the countryside ________.
A didn’t start till the Shakespearean age
B has brought much benefit to the NHS
C is fully backed by the royal family
D is not well reflected in politics
答案解析：
答案精析：根据第一段可知，民意调查显示，英国人把乡村与王室、莎士比亚以及英国医疗保险制度联系在一起，但段末指出this has limited political support（英国政府对此支持有限），由此可知D项正确。
错项排除：文章提及莎士比亚，但只是说莎士比亚与乡村一样，都令英国公众感到骄傲，A项与原文不符，故排除。文章中未提及英国王室和国民医疗保健制度与乡村有什么益处或支持关系，故排除B、C。
长难句分析：While polls show Britons rate “the countryside” alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political support.
本句为复合句，主句为this has limited political support，从句为While引导的状语从句，该状语从句中包含宾语从句Britons rate “the countryside” alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country以及名词性从句what makes them proudest of their country作as的宾语。
句意为：尽管民意调查显示，英国人将“农村”与英国皇室、莎士比亚以及英国国民健康保险制度一起看作是英国最值得骄傲的事物，但这种观点在政治上所获得的支持是有限的。
7、27. According to Paragraph 2, the achievements of the National Trust are now being ________.
A gradually destroyed
B effectively reinforced
C largely overshadowed
D properly protected
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的Paragraph 2和the National Trust可定位至第二段。根据第二段最后两句可知，国民托管组织所致力保护的英国乡村正在被混凝土建筑侵蚀。由此可推断出国民托管组织所取得的成就正在被逐渐破坏，因此选择A项。
错项排除：根据前面的分析可知，国民托管组织保护农村的成就遭到了破坏而不是强化，因此B项错误。C项在原文中未提及。文章指出乡村绿地已被混凝土建筑侵占，D项与原文意思相悖，故排除。
8、28. Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A Labour is under attack for opposing development.
B The Conservatives may abandon “off-plan” building.
C The Liberal Democrats are losing political influence.
D Ukip may gain from its support for rural conservation.
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的Paragraph 3可定位至第三段。根据第三段最后两句可知，英国独立党察觉到有利可图，于是与呼吁合理开发绿地的人统一战线。它发起的运动让很多保守党感到心惊胆战。由此可知，英国独立党可能因支持乡村而受益，因此选择D项。
错项排除：根据文章第三段第三句和第四句可知，工党也想在地方委员会反对乡村开发的地方停止地方规划，转而进行有利可图的（profitable）可持续发展。由此可知，工党并未反对发展，因此A项错误。文章第三段第二句指出，保守党的规划改革明确将优先开发农村，然后再考虑农村保护问题，甚至批准（authorising）“计划外”的建设，因此B项错误。文章第三段第五句提及，自由民主党对此问题不置一词，但未提及该党是否丧失政治影响力，故排除C项。
9、29. The author holds that George Osborne’s preference ________.
A highlights his firm stand against lobby pressure
B shows his disregard for the character of rural areas
C stresses the necessity of easing the housing crisis
D reveals a strong prejudice against urban areas
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的George Osborne可定位至第五段第三句。此句说到，在游说的压力下，乔治·奥斯本支持了乡村的新建计划而不是市区的整修和重建计划。由此可见，他主张乡村开发而非保护，反映出他对乡村特点的漠视，因此B项正确。
错项排除：文章第五段第三句表明乔治·奥斯本的选择是Under lobby pressure（在游说的压力下），由此可知，他与游说团体的观点一致，而非反对游说团体，故排除A项。C项在文章中未提及。D项与文章意思相悖，故排除。
10、30. In the last paragraph, the author shows his appreciation of ________.
A the size of population in Britain
B the political life in today’s Britain
C the enviable urban lifestyle in Britain
D the town-and-country planning in Britain
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的the last paragraph可定位至最后一段。根据文章最后一段可知，半个世纪的城镇和乡村规划使乡村发展得以保持令人羡慕的一致性，同时能允许低密度的城市生活。由此可推断，作者欣赏英国的城市规划，因此选择D项。
错项排除：文章开头提及英国的城市人口已经超过农村，但未对英国的人口规模做出评价，因此A项错误。B项在文章中未提及，故排除。文章第三句提及“低密度的城市生活”和“令人羡慕的乡村一致性”，但未对英国如今的城市生活方式表示欣赏，故排除。
Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
“There is one and only one social responsibility of businesses,” wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel prize-winning economist, “That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.” But even if you accept Friedman’s premise and regard corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies as waste of shareholders’ money, things may not be absolutely clear-cut. New research suggest that CSR may create monetary value for companies—at least when they are prosecuted for corruption.
The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a year on CSR, according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses in three ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a “signal” that a company’s products are of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company’s products as an indirect way to donate to the good causes it helps. And third, through a more diffuse “halo effect”, whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.
Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three. A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under America’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company’s products as part of their investigations, they could be influenced only by the halo effect.
The study found that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties. Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firms’ political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency: Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.
In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR. “We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern, such as child labour, or increasing corporate giving by about 20% results in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials,” says one researcher.
Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much businesses ought to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than the other possible benefits, when they decide their do-gooding policies. But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them a less costly punishment.
11、31. The author views Milton Friedman’s statement about CSR with ________.
A tolerance
B skepticism
C uncertainty
D approval
答案解析：
答案精析：根据Milton Friedman可定位至第一段第一句。文章开头引用诺贝尔获奖者、经济学家米尔顿·弗里德曼的话，指出商业机构的天职是关注利益。按照这种说法，企业社会责任（CSR）政策是浪费股东的钱。但作者接着提到，事情可能并不是明确的（not be absolutely clear-cut）：企业社会责任可能会为公司创造货币价值。由此可知，作者对尔顿·弗里德曼的言论持怀疑态度。
错项排除：A项与原文意思相悖，故排除。C项曲解文意，文章并未提及态度不确定。文章第三句提及accept Friedman’s premise，但文章的even if引导转折，具有否定的含义，因此D项有误。
12、32. According to Paragraph 2, CSR helps a company by ________.
A winning trust from consumers
B guarding it against malpractices
C protecting it from being defamed
D raising the quality of its products
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的Paragraph 2可定位至第二段。第二段介绍了企业社会责任的好处：消费者认为这样的企业的产品质量好；消费者愿意购买该企业的产品；“光环效应”能为企业赢得消费者和其他人更多的好感。A项是对这三项好处的概括。
错项排除：文章未提及有“不当行为”和“诋毁”，故排除B项和C项。文章虽然提及“high quality”，但只是说明消费者因为该企业的良好形象而认为它的产品质量好，并未提“提高品质”，故排除D项。
13、33. The expression “more lenient” (Line 2, Para. 4) is closest in meaning to ________.
A more effective
B less controversial
C less severe
D more lasting
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的“more lenient”和Line 2, Para. 4可定位至文章第四段第一句。根据定位句可知，在受到指控的企业中，那些拥有最全面的企业社会责任计划的企业往往会受到more lenient的惩罚。再根据第二句可知，那些政治活动投入更多的公司并没有被判处较低的罚金，而投入社会公益则可获得leniency。由此可知lenient意为“宽大的”，因此C项符合题意。
错项排除：A项的more effective与penalties不搭配，故排除。文章未提及惩罚的争议性和持久性，因此排除B项和D项。
14、When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company’s CSR record ________.
A has an impact on their decision
B comes across as reliable evidence
C increases the chance of being penalized
D constitutes part of the investigation
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的evaluate a case和CSR可定位至第五段第一句。根据定位句可知，尽管检举人在评估案件时应只基于案件本身，但他们似乎也受到公司的企业社会责任记录的影响。接着，一位研究人员的话论证了社会责任记录良好的企业可以获得轻罚。因此选择A项。
错项排除：文章第五段第一句指出，检察官们应该只就案件本身评估一个案例，而企业的社会责任记录或许（seem to）会影响案件评估，但不是“可靠的证据”，故排除B项和D项。文章第五段第二句提到，企业社会责任记录可以帮助减轻处罚力度而非增加被处罚的可能性，选项C与此相悖，故排除。
15、35. Which of the following is true of CSR, according to the last paragraph?
A Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.
B The necessary amount of companies’ spending on it is unknown.
C Companies’ financial capacity for it has been overestimated.
D It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的the last paragraph和CSR可定位至最后一段。根据最后一段可知，研究人员承认，他们的研究并不能解答企业应在企业社会责任上投入多大的问题。“投入”与“花销”为同义替换，由此可知，B项正确。
错项排除：文章未提及企业社会责任的负面影响，故排除A项。文章第六段第一句说明企业应在企业社会责任上投入的数额不确定，并不是说企业的财务能力被高估了，因此排除C项。第六段第二句提及banking一词，但bank on为动词词组，意为“指望；依赖”，与bank industry这一概念无关，故排除。
长难句分析：Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than the other possible benefits, when they decide their do-gooding policies.
本句为倒装句，Nor does it reveal…与前一句中的does not answer构成“既不……也不……”。本句中reveal后是由how much引导的宾语从句，主干为companies are banking on…, rather than…，在此句中bank on意为“依靠；依赖”；后半句是由when引导的时间状语从句。
句意为：也没有表明当公司决定要施行“行好事”的政策时，他们对光环效应，而非其他可能的好处，有多大的信赖。
Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
There will eventually come a day when The New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future,” the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.
Nostalgia for ink on paper and the rustle of pages aside, there’s plenty of incentive to ditch print. The infrastructure required to make a physical newspaper—printing presses, delivery trucks—isn’t just expensive; it’s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don’t have the same set of financial constraints. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print ad sales still dwarf their online and mobile counterparts, revenue from print is still declining.
Overhead may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.
Peretti says the Times shouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. “Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them,” he said, “but if you discontinue it, you’re going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you.”
Sometimes that’s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming. “It was seen as a blunder,” he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. And if Peretti were in charge at the Times? “I wouldn’t pick a year to end print,” he said. “I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product.”
The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they’d feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you’re overpaying for print, you could feel like you were helping,” Peretti said. “Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue.” In other words, if you’re going to make a print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it, which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year—more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.
“It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a legacy business,” Peretti remarked. “But we’re going to have questions like that where we have things we’re doing that don’t make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it’s better to be more aggressive than less aggressive.”
16、36. The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to ________.
A the high cost of operation
B the pressure from its investors
C the complaints from its readers
D the increasing online ad sales
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的ending its print可定位至文章第二段首句（ditch print意为“放弃印刷”）。第二段第二句指出，制作一份报纸所需的基础设施太过昂贵（The infrastructure… isn’t just expensive; it’s excessive），excessive表示“过多的”，由此可知，终止印刷版本的原因是运营成本过高，A项正确。
错项排除：文章未提及报刊投资者的信息，因此B项（投资者施压）错误。文章提及读者逐渐远离阅读印刷报刊的方式，并未提及读者对印刷报纸的怨言，故排除C项。文章第二段第四句中指出，纸质印刷广告的销售仍高于在线和手机端，并未说明在线广告销售增加，因此排除D项。
17、37. Peretti suggests that, in face of the present situation, the Times should ________.
A seek new sources of readership
B end the print edition for good
C aim for efficient management
D make strategic adjustments
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的Peretti suggests和Times可定位至第四段。第四段指出，只要《纽约时报》经营方式正确，它就不应该在取消纸质版业务上浪费时间，应该想办法加速转型。再根据第五段中首句提到，改变有时是值得的。由此可知，佩雷蒂建议《纽约时报》应该改变思路，做出战略调整，因此选择D项。
错项排除：A项和C项在文章中未提及，故排除。文章提及佩雷蒂不取消报纸的建议，B项与此意思相悖，故排除。
18、38. It can be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that a “legacy product” ________.
A helps restore the glory of former times
B is meant for the most loyal customers
C will have the cost of printing reduced
D expands the popularity of the paper
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干提示以及“legacy product”可定位至第五、六段。第五段末句提到，佩雷蒂要把印刷报纸做成“legacy product”，并提高印刷版报纸的价格。第六段第一句提到，最为忠实的消费者不管价格是否上涨都会购买这种刊物，可见这种产品的目标人群为忠实的顾客，因此B项正确。
错项排除：文章第六段提及“遗产类产品”由有限的读者群维持，努力创造额外收入，并不能由此推断出遗产类产品能够帮助恢复往日的荣耀，故排除A项。C项在文章中未提及，故排除。文章第六段第四句指出，这种纸质印刷的产品应面向忠实的用户，即目标人群是固定的，所以并不能提高报纸的受欢迎程度，因此排除D项。
长难句分析：The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they’d feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in.
本句为and连接的并列复合句，they favor是省略了引导词的定语从句，修饰前面的product；句子中的the idea goes是一个插入成分，起补充说明作用。第二个分句中feel like后为省略引导词that的表语从句；句末的they believe in为定语从句。
句意为：他的设想是，最忠实的读者仍会购买所喜爱的纸质版，并且他们会觉得在为维持所信赖的某种东西的质量出一份力。
19、39. Peretti believes that, in a changing world, ________.
A legacy businesses are becoming outdated
B cautiousness facilitates problem-solving
C aggressiveness better meets challenges
D traditional luxuries can stay unaffected
答案解析：
答案精析：根据题干中的a changing world可定位至原文的最后一段倒数第二句。文章最后一段介绍了佩雷蒂面对世界变化的态度——锐意进取比消极被动更好。因此C项正确。
错项排除：文章第七段首句虽然提及“legacy business”，但并未说明遗产类生意正在变得过时。第七段末尾提及在遇到问题时采取积极进取的态度，但并非要保持警惕的态度，因此B项错误。D项在文章中未提及，故排除。
20、40. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?
A Shift to Online Newspapers All at Once
B Cherish the Newspaper Still in Your Hand
C Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good
D Keep Your Newspapers Forever in Fashion
答案解析：
答案精析：通读全文可知，文章开篇介绍了《纽约时报》因为种种原因可能会停发纸质报纸，之后介绍了佩雷蒂给《纽约时报》在转型期的建议，即把价格抬高，做成遗产类产品。最后一段总结全文——锐意进取比反其道而行之更好。因此C项更符合文章大意。
错项排除：文章前两段提及“转向在线报纸”，但与文章的主题不符，故排除。文章大篇幅建议把报纸做成奢侈品，并未暗示人们珍惜手中的报纸，故排除B项。D项在文章中未提及，故排除。
