【文都教育2018考研大纲名师解析汇总(文字+视频)】
今天的句子：
Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could recreate the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the U.S., when the Standard Oil trust was broken up. The mergers of telecom companies, such as WorldCom, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress. On the contrary, the price of communications is coming down fast. In cars, too, concentration is increasing -- witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissan -- but it does not appear that consumers are beinghurt.
65. From Paragraph 4 we can infer that ________.
the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumers
WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs
the costs of the globalization process are enormous
the Standard Oil trust might have threatened competition
“终于做了这个决定，让你看到了这个题，只要你也一样的肯定，我愿意ABCD都随你去，我知道一切不容易，我的心一直温习说服自己，最怕你忽然说要放弃，选择真需要勇气，来面对一切干扰，只要你一个替换模糊，我的课就有意义，我的真心！”
今天题目的解析：
1. Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty.
Concentration=merger=acquisition=consolidation 合并兼并
Benefits 好处
Costs 代价（害处）
Scanty 稀少
主干：Examples are scanty.
关于现在的兼并浪潮的好处和害处的例子还不多。
2.Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could recreate the same threats to competition/
但是很难想象今天几家石油公司的合并就会再次造成对于竞争的同样的（same）威胁.
that were feared nearly a century ago in the U.S.
一个世纪以前在美国（人们）就担心过这种威胁
when the Standard Oil trust was broken up.
那个时候标准石油托拉斯破产了。
3. The mergers of telecom companies, such as WorldCom, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress.
电信公司的合并，比如世界电信公司，并没有为消费者造成来更高的价格或者造成技术进步的减缓。
4. On the contrary, the price of communications is coming down fast.
相反，通讯费用降低的很快。
5. In cars, too, concentration is increasing -- witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissan -- but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.
在汽车行业，合并也在增多，比如（witness）戴米尔 和克莱斯勒的合并，雷诺和尼桑的合并，但是看起来消费者并没有受到伤害；
65. From Paragraph 4 we can infer that ________.
段落推理题就是需要把四个选项分别和原文比对；
the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumers
（合并的增加一定会伤害消费者。）
这和最后一句是明显相反的。所以排除！
WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs
（ 世界电信是好处和坏处的好例子）
第三句很明明确的表示：woirld com 表明了合并的好处；
the costs of the globalization process are enormous
全球化过程的代价是巨大的。
文中没有提到，排除！
the Standard Oil trust might have threatened competition
标准石油托拉斯可能曾经对竞争造成过威胁；
it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could recreate the same threats to competition
造成当初人们担心过得（same）的威胁；
那么意味着曾经有过对竞争的威胁，而且后面谈到了那个时候标准石油托拉斯破产了；
所以这里是有依据的，只是如果直接让大家选这个选项确实有难度，用排除法就会发现这个选项是无比的可爱，而且这个选项中还有might 再次让我们确定这个选项是正确的！
