A、B、C选项且不去讨论其表述正确与否，只需从In both East and West，Zoë Zysman，companies' names这样的字词中即可判定出其源自论据的出生，他们一开始就注定了不能成为正确答案的宿命，无需步步惊心。
段落性的推理题在按照常规的解题思路完成后，和主题相关选项大于和细节相关的选项，和结论相关的选项大于和论据相关的选项。这就是又一考研的特色。因此在解题的过程中一定要关注观点和结论，和观点表达相关的动词在必杀技一中已经列出。

[A]the townsfolk deny the RSC‘s contribution to the town’s revenue
[B] the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage
[C] the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms

答案为A选项，解题思路就是第一段是事实的论述，而第二段第一句就出现了观点，对应A选项。

We may infer from the second paragraph that____________.
[A] DNA technology has been widely applied to history research
[B] in its early days the U.S. was confronted with delicate situations
[C] historians deliberately made up some stories of Jefferson’s life

答案为B选项，正是对应于历史学家们著作中的结论，而其他几个选项都是从论据入手的，且是错误的表述。
