1、Financial regulators in Britain have imposed a rather unusual rule on the bosses of big banks. Starting next year, any guaranteed bonus of top executives could be delayed 10 years if their banks are under investigation for wrongdoing. The main purpose of this "clawback" rule is to hold bankers accountable for harmful risk-taking and to restore public trust in financial institution. Yet officials also hope for a much larger benefit: more long term decision-making not only by banks but by all corporations, to build a stronger economy for future generations.（节选自2019年考研英语一Text 1）
【题目】
According to Paragraph 1, one motive in imposing the new rule is the___.
[A]. enhance bankers' sense of responsibility
[B]. help corporations achieve larger profits
[C]. build a new system of financial regulation
[D]. guarantee the bonuses of top executives
【解析】根据题干关键词“paragraph 1”和“one motive in imposing the new rule”回文定位在*一段第三句“The main purpose of this ‘clawback' rule is to hold bankers accountable for harmful risk-taking and to restore public trust in financial institutions.”（这个规则主要目的是让银行家为不良风险负责以及修复公众对金融机构的信任），对比所给四个选项，只有[A]项 enhance banks' sense of responsibility（增加银行的责任感）与原文表述一致，故为正确答案。
2、"Short-termism"or the desire for quick profits, has worsened in publicly traded companies, says the Bank of England's top economist. Andrew Haldane. He quotes a giant of classical economics, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financial impatience as acting like "Children who pick the plums out of their pudding to eat them at once"rather than putting them aside to be eaten last.（节选自2019年考研英语一Text 1）
【题目】
Alfred Marshall is quoted to indicate___.
[A]. the conditions for generating quick profits
[B]. governments' impatience in decision-making
[C]. the solid structure of publicly traded companies
[D]."short-termism"in economic activities
【解析】引用例子，是为了论证论点，所以解题关键在于找到论点。根据题干中的
“Alfred Marshall”定位在第二段最后一句“Alfred Marshall，in describing this financial impatience as acting like..…”（Alfred Marshall描述这种财政上急功近利的行为就像.…），其中this financial impatience根据代词指代原则，回上文找指代对象，发现指代第二段开头的“short-termism”，financial对应选项中的economic，acting对应activities，故[D]项为正确答案。
