Another 12 round trips will be added to the schedule every day starting Jan 10.
17. An improvement in Beijing’s air quality last year compared with 2014 may have had more to do with weather patterns than with a decline in emission, environment experts say. The Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau said Beijing’s " number of days of most serious PM2. 5 pollution is failing each year. Its air quality appeared to improve in the first 10 months of 2015 compared with the same period a year earlier". The deterioration in air quality in the final two months of the year "was due to wind and humidity". Beijing’s air quality "is affected more by that of nearby regions than before".
18. The bunch of documents passed to the BBC and Buzzfeed News include the findings of an investigation set up in 2007 by the ATP. Secret files expose evidence of widespread suspected match fixing at the top level of world tennis. Over the last decade 16 players who have ranked in the top 50 have been repeatedly flagged to the tennis integrity unit over suspicions they have thrown matches. In a confidential report for the tennis authorities in 2008, the enquiry team said 28 players involved in these games should be investigated. About 10 players were the most common perpetrators that were at the root of the problem.
19. Numerous studies have attempted to find a clear link between pay practices and performance, but have largely failed. It’s not that people don’t respond to financial incentives. They clearly do. The problem, however, is that today’s jobs generally involve teamwork. Success is less due to an individual’s effort, and measurement of individual effort becomes more complex, if not impossible. In these situations, pay for performance can often seem unfair and arbitrary, and the result can demotivate, rather than motivate employees. Resentment can fester, and significant time and energy can be wasted.
20. WASHINGTON—The Justice Department sued the German automaker Volkswagen in federal court Monday, saying that the company installed illegal devices in nearly 600,000 diesel engine systems to impair emission controls. The government is seeking an array of penalties against the company, including fines and further actions to mitigate the emission of harmful pollutants. The complaint does not specify actions the company must take to further reduce emissions, nor does it name a dollar figure for the penalty. The complaint represented the first step in legal action against Volkswagen and did not preclude a criminal charge.

选项 A、People don’t respond to financial incentives as readily or enthusiastically as before.
B、Workers do different jobs, and it’s hard to make comparisons among them.
C、Employers don’t want to dampen anybody’s enthusiasm by paying them less.
D、Today’s jobs often involve teamwork and it’s no longer easy to measure individual effort.

答案 D

解析 根据新闻可知,许多研究都试图找到薪酬措施与绩效之间的明确联系,但多数都以失败告终。原因在于当今的工作大多都涉及团队合作,单纯的衡量个人努力不再是一件容易的事情。因此选择D项。
