参考答案

　　21．A。

细节题：

原文第1段，倒数第3行的howcould…?

直接提到了bonuspayouts就是说profits。

　　22．C。

细节题：

最后一句weatheredtheirowncrises对应forecasters。

　　23．C。

细节题：

原文是若干个并列，stockislikelytoperformworse对应答案，迷惑选项是B，但是主语不一致20%是probability不是earnings。

　　24．A。

推理题：

原文对应firmswhowantto…..说想留住outsidedirector就是增加incentive。

　　25．B。

态度题：

文章各个段落都说outsidedirector的方面。

因此是positive。
