单选题 Cet-6-1.16-Exercise 02 Consider Paul Krugman writing breathlessly in the New York Times about the "rising incidence of extreme events," He claims that global warming caused the current drought in America's Midwest, and that supposedly record-high corn prices could cause a global food crisis. But the United Nations climate panel's latest assessment tells us precisely the opposite. For "North America there is medium confidence that there has an overall slight tendency toward less dryness". Moreover, there is no way that Krugman could have identified this drought as being caused by global warming without a time machine; climate models estimate that such detection will be possible by 2048, at the earliest. What is the author's comment on Krugman's claim about the current drought in America's Midwest

Cet-6-1.20-Exercise 02 "The grim economy seems to make the participants keener than ever to think 'out of the box' in the way poetry encourages," he told me. I'm not suggesting that poetry will guide our legislators to wisdom any more than prayer has. Just that it might make them a little more human.

Poetry serves as a spur to creative thinking, a reproach to dogma and habit, a remedy to the current fashion for pledge signing. What was the impact of the poetry session on the program participants according to Professor FilreisA. It inspired them to view things from broader perspectivesB. It can help to locate profitable nichesC. It is noted for its detailed data analysisD. It led them to think poetry indispensable to management

Cet-6-1.19-Exercise 02 Across the board, American colleges and universities are not doing a very good job of preparing their students for the workplace or their post-graduation lives. This was made clear by the work of two sociologists, Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa. In 2011 they released a landmark study titled "Academically Adrift," which documented the lack of intellectual growth experienced by many people enrolled in college.

What is Arum and Roksa's finding about higher education in AmericaA. It fails to prepare students to face the challenges of modern timesB. It has experienced dramatic changes in recent yearsC. It is a simple solution to a tangled problemD. It helps fill the executive board with talents
