MBA英语历年真题及答案详解

MBA考试《英语》历年真题精选及详细解析0809-71、I wish( )to Stockholm when I was in Sweden.I hear it's a beautiful city.【单选题】A.I wentB.I had goneC.I have goneD.having gone正确答案:B答案解析:【译文】我听说斯德哥尔摩是座美丽的城市。

真希望在瑞典时去过那里。

【解析】wish后面的宾语从句常用虚拟语气，以表示与事实相反的情况，针对现在时间段的愿望，宾语从句常用“过去时”的虚拟形式，针对将来时间段的愿望，宾语从句常用“过去将来时”的虚拟形式，而针对过去时间段的愿望，宾语从句则常用“过去完成时”。

本题根据“I was in Sweden”可以看出是最后者，表示与过去事实相反的情况，故选B。

A项是针对“现在时间段”的虚拟形式；C项不是虚拟形式，不能与前面I wish形成对应搭配；D项是现在分词短语，属于非谓语形式，不能直接与wish连用。

2、( )the fog, we should have reached our destination.【单选题】A.Because ofB.In spite ofC.In case ofD.But for正确答案:D答案解析:【译文】若不是因为大雾，我们应该早就抵达我们的目的地了。

【解析】根据后半句的should have done结构可看出这是一个虚拟语气，but for意为“要不是”“倘若不是因为”的意思，常用于虚拟语气，符合下文语义和形式的要求，选D。

A项：“因为大雾”对应的语义应是“所以我们（结果）无法到达”，但下文reached ourdestination却语义相反；此外，because of引导的原因状语所对应的句子主干不用虚拟语气。

B项：“尽管有雾”对应的语义应是“但是（事实上）我们仍然到达”，但下文should have reachedour destination (应早已抵达目的地）表述的却是一种虚拟的“遗憾”；此外，in spite of引导的让步状语所对应的句子主干不用虚拟语气。

Federal regulators tried hard to find a sound bank that could take over Continental-a common way of rescuing failing banks.But Continental was just too big for anyone to buy.By July,all hope of a private sector rescue was dashed.Regulators faced a stark choice:Let Continental collapse,or take it over themselves.Letting the bank fail seemed too risky.It was estimated that more than 100 other banks had placed enough funds in Continental to put them at risk if Continental failed.Thus,on a rainy Thursday at the end of July,the FDIC in effect nationalized Continental Illinois at a cost of .5 billion.This kept the bank s doors open and prevented a chain reaction.However,in all but a technical sense,Continental had become the biggest bank failure in U.S.history.31.In the spring of 1984,Continental experienced------.A a fast growth period.B a stability periodC a run.D an oil price decrease.32.By July,all hope of a private sector rescue was------.A destroyed.B absurdC desperate.D damaged.33.The nationalizatin of Continental------.A saved itB made"hot money"owners continue to pull their funds out of Continental.C almost brought down the banking systemD fired many high ranking officers.34.Banking panics may be prevented by means of------.A deposit insurance.B growth strategyC long term borrowing.D warning memo.Questions 35 to 38 are based on the following passage:If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work force skills,American firms have a problem.Human resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States.Skill acquisition is considered as an individualbor is simply another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw materials or equipment. The lack of importance attached to human resource management can be seen in the corporation hierarchy.In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command.The post of head of human resource managements is usually a specialized job,off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy.The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO).By way of contrast,in Japan the head of human resource management is central-usually the second most important executive,after the CEO,in the firm s hierarchy.While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces,in fact they invest less in the skill of their employees than do the Japanese or German firms.The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees.And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result,problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive.If American workers,for example,take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany(as they do),the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United Stated.More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity,and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed.The result is a slower pace of technological change.And inthe end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half.If the bottom half can t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated,the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.35.Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?A.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.B.They see the gaining of skills as their employees own business.C.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment..D.They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition.36.What is the position of the head of human resource management in an American firm?A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm..B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.C.He is directly under the chief financial executive.D.He has no authority in making important decisions in the firm..37.The money most American firms spend in training mainly goes to----.A workers who can operate new equipment B technological and managerial staffC workers who lack basic background skillsD top executives.38.What is the main idea of the passage?A.American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human resource management.B.Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human resource man agement.C.The head of human resource management must be in the central position in a firms hierarchy..D.The human resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity...Questions 39 to 42 are based on the following passage:Internet is a vast network of computers that connects many of the world s businesses,institutions,and individuals.The internet,which means interconnected network of networks,links tens of thousands of smaller computer networks.These networks transmit huge amounts of information in the form of words,images,and sounds.The Internet was information on virtually every work users can search through sources ranging from vast databases to small electronic"bulletin boards ,"where users formdiscussion groups around common interests.Much of the Internet s traffic consists of messages sent from one computer user to another.These messages are called electronic mail or email.Internet users have electronic addresses that allow them to send and receive e mail.Other uses of the network include obtaining news,joining electronic debates,and playing electronic games.One feature of the Internet,known as the World Wide Web,provides graphics,audio,and video to enhance the information in its documents.These documents cover a vast number of topics.People usually access the Internet with a device called a modem.Modems connect computers to the network through telephone lines.Much of the Internet operates through worldwide telephone networks of fiber optic cables.These cables contain hair thin strands of glass that carry data as pulses of light.They can transmit thousands of times more data than local phone lines,most of which consist of copper wires.The history of the Internet began in the 1960s.At that time,the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA)of the United States Department of Defense developed a network of computers called ARPAnet.Originally,ARPAnet connected only military a nd government computer systems.Its purpose was to make these systems secure in the event of a disaster or was.Soon after the creation of ARPAnet,universities and other institutions developed their own computer networks.These networks eventually were merged with ARPAnet to form the Internet.By the 1990s,anyone with a computer,modem,and Internet software could link up to the Internet.In the future,the Internet will probably grow more sophisticated as computer technology becomes more powerful.Many experts believe the Internet may become part of a larger network called the information superhighway.This network,still under development,would link computers with telephone companies,cable television stations,and other communication systems.People could bank,shop,watch TV,and perform many other activities through the network.39.This passage is about the------of the Internet.A future.B general introductionC use.D history.40.Which of the following statements about the Internet is true?A.ARPA was the first net used by American universities and institutions.B.The history of the Internet can be traced back to fifty years ago.C.The purpose of the Internet is to protect the world in the event of war.D.ARPAnet formed the foundation of the Internet nowadays...41.The Internet enables people to do all the following things EXCEPT----.A sending e mail.B obtaining newsC exchanging modem.D internet related chat(IRC).42.According to the last paragraph,in the future------.A.in may be hard to predict the development of the Internet.B.the Internet will become an indispensable superhighway.C.the Internet will be applied more.D.the Internet will combine cable stations.Questions 43 to 46 are based on the following passage:Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny.According to this ideology,basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes.These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life.Women are the weaker sexboth physically and emotionally.Thus,they are naturally suited,much more so than men,to the performance of domestic duties .A woman s place,under normal circumstances,is within the protective environment of the home.Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles,such as wife and mother and homemaker.On the other hand,men are best suited to go outsintosthe competitive world of work and politics,where serious responsibilities must be taken on.Men are to be the providers;women and children are"dependents."The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.It is thus appropriate for women,not men,to be employed as nurses,social workers,elementary schoolteachers,household helpers,and clerks and secretaries.These positions are simply an extension of women s domestic rmal distinctions between"women s work"and"men s work"in the labor force,according to the ideology,are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes. Finally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way.For the human species to survive over time,its members must regularly reproduce.Thus,women must,whether at home or in the labor force,make the most of their physical appearance.So goes the ideology.It is,of course,not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex defined roles in social life.There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society,and those role differences that to exist are largely learned.But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society,sex defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.43.Women s place,some people think,is within the protective environment of the home because------.A.women can provide better care for the children.B.women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all.C.women are biologically suited to domestic jobs.D.women can not compete with men in any field.44.According to the author,sex roles------.A are socially determinedB.are emotionally and physically determined.C.can only be determined by what education people take.D.are biologically and psychologically determined.45.The author points out that the assignments of women s roles in work------.A.are determined by what they are better suited to.B.grow out of their position inside the home.C.reflect a basic difference between men and women.D.are suitable to them,but not to men.46.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The division of sex defined roles is completely unacceptable..B.Women s roles in work are too limited at present..C.In one society,men might perform what is considered women s duties by another.D.Some of the women s roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by men. Questions 47 to 50 are based on the following passage:In a sense,the new protectionism is not protectionism at all,at least not in the traditional sense of the term.The old protectionism referred only to trade restricting and trade expanding devices,such as the tariff or export subsidy.The new protectionism is much broader than this;it includes interventionssintosforeign trade but is not limited to them.The new protectionism,in fact,refers to how the whole of government interventionsintosthe private economy affects international trade.The emphasis on trade is still there,thus came the term"protection."But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affect international economic relations.The emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory of the interventionist,or welfare economy over the market economy.Jab Tumiler writes,"The old protectionism…coexisted,without any apparent intellectual difficulty with the acceptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution mechanism-indeed,protectionists as well as (if not more than)free traders stood for laissez faire(放任政策).Now,as in the 1930s,protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies satisfaction."It is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism.In a market economy,economic change of various colors implies redistribution of resources and incomes.The same opinion in many communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper.There fore,the government intervenes(干涉；干预)to bring about a more desired result.The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe.InSweden ,Norway,Finland,Denmark,and the Netherlands,government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal.In Great Britain this is only somewhat less ernment traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so.Only West Germany dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe.It also happens to be the most successful Western European economy.The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe.Social security,unemployment insurance,minimum wage laws,and rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene.47.This passage is primarily concerned with discussing------.A.the definition of the new protectionism.B.the difference between new and old protectionism.C.the emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world.D.the significance of the welfare state.48.Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare state mentioned in this passage?A Free education is available to a child.B Laws are made to fix the minimum wage.C A jobless person can be insured.D There are regulations for rent.49.Which of the following inferences is true,according to this passage?A.The economy developed faster in welfare states than in non welfare states.B.In the 1930s,protectionism began to rise.C.The new protectionism is so called mainly because it is the latest.ernment plays a more active role in economic life in Northern Europe than in Great Britain...50.The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions?A When did the new protectionism arise?B.Why is the new protectionism so popular in northern European countries?.C.Does the American government play a more active role in economic life than the British government?.D.Why does the government intervene in economic life?.Section BDirections:.Read the following passage carefully and then give short answers to the five questions.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet..In a television interview,Mr.Daniel Brummage,President of the International Olympics Committee,is defending his Committee s decision to hold the Games again in four years time.Ever since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896,they ve had their critics.Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble.But part of the aim of the Games ,when they were first held in ancient Greece,was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.My Committee and I intend to see that they go on doing this.The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy that could be more harmfully employed.In my opinion,it does a lot of good,getting people to forget their differences in a communal activity.Any competitor or spectator at the Games or in the Olympic Village will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable:as if the world were one big family.And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate,only exist in a few quarters.What we suffer from is bad publicity,not had sportsmanship. These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world.Not only do they bring sportsmen together,but they unite a world public.Isn′t this a sufficient reason for continuing then?Of course,a few people are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda(宣传)，but this is no reason why the Games should be canceled.Why should every harmless activity be spoiled for the majority by the minority?No!As long as the majority wants it,these Games will continue.This is sport,sir,not politics,and I intend that it should remain so.51.Is that right that all the people in the world agree to hold the Olympic Games?.52When did the modern Olympic Games begin?53.What is the purpose of the Olympic Committee to hold the Games?54.What does Mr.Daniel Brummage criticize in his speech and Why?.55Will the Games continue?Why?PARTⅣTranslation (15%)Directions:.In this part there is a passage in English.Translate the five sentences underlinedsintosChinese and write your translation on the Answer Sheet . .(56)The types of daydreams,whether they are pleasant and hopeful or filled with despair take shape in childhood when everyone develops one of three basic daydreaming styles:positive negative and scattered American Health reports.Although everyone lapses occasionallysintoseach of these types,positive daydreamers are more likely to imagine happy,playful or entertaining of these types, positive daydreamers are more likely to imagine happy,playful or entertaining scenarios.(57)Negative daydreamers tend to dwell on life s darker side.imagining dangerous and/or life threatening situations,such as the appearance of afatal or weakening disease or becoming a victim of violence.Scattered day dreamers are easily bored and distracted."Theirmental images tend to be fleeting,repetitive and shallow,like variations on the same fairy tales,"explains Yale psychologist Roni Tower.(58)While all three types are common,positive imaginations are likeliest to serve as springboards(跳板)for problem solving,while negative and scattered daydreams may leave a person feeling anxious.Negative daydreamers are waiting for the other shoe"to fall."Their imaginations are often guilt ridden or obsessive.There are times when drifting away can cause problems,according to Blodin."If daydreaming gets in the way of daily function because the person is doing it all day,the person won t be very productive,"she says."The amount of time and the frequency that a person daydreams is what s important.It should not take up all of your time.(59)If people find their daydreaming is becoming excessive(过多的)，they should take a realistic look at what s going on in their life and ask themselves what they are trying to avoid.Then they can assess what steps they need to take to correct the situation."(Anyone who has a hard time discriminating between reality and imagination or starts replacing real life family and friends with imagined people should seek professional help.)(60)Professor Singer sums up the advantages of daydreams to the average person:"by sitting quietly and letting your daydreams emerge instead of squelching(抑制)them,you may find there are parts of yourself you haven t been listening to.Instead of fearing them,you ll gain access to tremendous range of interesting,creative ideas."PARTⅤWriting (15%)。

MBA英语真题和答案解析Section I Use of EnglishDirections：Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered black and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)The Internet affords anonymity to its users, a blessing to privacy and freedom of speech. But that very anonymity is also behind the explosion of cyber-crime that has 1 across the Web.Can privacy be preserved 2 bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly 3 ?Last month, Howard Schmidt, the nation’s cyber-czar, offered the federal government a 4 to make the Web a safer place-a “voluntary trusted identity” system that would be the high-tech 5 of a physical key, a fingerprint and a photo ID card, all rolled 6 one. The system might use a smart identity card, or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer .and wouldauthenticate users at a range of online services.The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems. User could 9 which system to join, and only registered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems. The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet driver’s license 10 by the government.Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these“single sign-on”syst ems that make it possible for users to 11 just once but use many different services.12.the approach would create a “walled garden” n cyberspace, with safe “neighborhoods” and bright “streetlights” to establish a sense of a 13 community.Mr. Schmidt described it as a “voluntary ecosystem” in which “individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with 14 ,trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure 15 which the transaction runs”.Still, the administration’s plan has 16 privacy rights activists. Some applaud the approach; others areconcerned. It seems clear that such a scheme is an initiative push toward what would 17 be a compulsory Internet “drive’s license” mentality.The plan has also been greeted with 18 by some computer security experts, who worry that the “voluntary ecosystem” envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet 19 .They argue that all Internet users should be 20 to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads.1．A.swept B.skipped C.walkedD.ridden2．A.for B.within C.while D.though3．A.careless wless C.pointlessD.helpless4．A.reason B.reminder promiseD.proposal5 rmation． B.interferenceC.entertainmentD.equivalent6．A.by B.into C.from D.over 7．A.linked B.directed C.chainedpared8．A.dismiss B.discover C.createD.improve9．A.recall B.suggest C.selectD.realize10．A.relcased B.issued C.distributed D.delivered11．A.carry on B.linger on C.set inD.log in12．A.In vain B.In effect C.In return D.In contrast13．A.trusted B.modernized c.thriving peting14．A.caution B.delight C.confidenceD.patience15．A.on B.after C.beyond D.across16．A.divided B.disappointed C.protected D.united17．A.frequestly B.incidentallyC.occasionallyD.eventually18．A.skepticism B.releranceC.indifferenceD.enthusiasm19．A.manageable B.defendableC.vulnerableD.invisible20．A.invited B.appointed C.allowed D.forced完形填空参考答案1~5 ACBDD 6~10 BACCB 11~15 DBACA 16~20 ADACD。

Even then you can never recover the real value you place upon your possessions. But you can’t insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if our homes are seriously damaged by some stranger，our windows and doors smashed， our precious possessions ruined.“It won‘t happen to me.’‘Won‘t it？ A home is broken into almost every minute of the day. Thefts of all kinds， including cars and property stolen，happen twice as frequently.“I ‘ve nothing worth stealing.”You may think not. But in fact every one has something worth a thief‘s attention. And we a ll have things of special value to us even if they’re` worth little or nothing in cash terms.“I‘m only a tenant（房客）here.”The thief doesn‘t care whether you’re a tenant or an owner-occupier. You‘re just as likely to be robbed. Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra locks and fastenings are necessary.“They‘ll get in any way.”Most thieves are always looking for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they can‘t get into quickly and easily. So it’s worth taking care.This booklet will help you——it‘s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country.

This advertisement for a booklet aims to influence people who_______ .A. have had their houses broken intoB. are not properly insuredC. are afraid of what thieves might doD. have not thought much about securityQuestions 3I to35 are based on the following passage：One silly question I simply cannot tolerate is ``How do you feel？‘’ Usually the question is asked of a man in action——a man walking along the street， or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say？He‘ll probably say， ``Fine，I’m all right.“ But you have put a bug in his ear - maybe now he is not sure. If you are his good friend ， you may have seen something on his face， or in his walk， that he overlooked that morning. It makes him worrying a little. He looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right， while you go merrily on your way asking someone else， ``How do you feel？‘’Every question has its time and place. it‘s perfectly acceptable， for instance， to ask ``How do you feel？’‘ if you are visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs， hurrying to take a train or sitting at his desk working，it’s no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw， the famous British writer of plays was in his eighties， someone asked him ``How do you feel？‘’ Shaw put him in his place. ``When you reach my age，“ he said，``either you feel all right or you are dead.”3I. According to the writer， greetings， such as ``How do you feel？‘’_____ .A. show one‘s consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in action ……D. generally make one feel uneasy .32. The question ``How do you feel？‘’ seems to be correct and suitable when asked ofA. a friend who is illB. a person who has lost a close friend.C. a stranger who looks somewhat worriedD. a man who is working at his desk33. Gorge Bemard Shaw‘s reply in this passage shows his______ .A. sillinessB. clevernessC. carelessnessD. politeness34. ``You have put a bug in his ear“ means that you have______ .A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warning35 . This passage can be entitled .A. A silly QuestionB. Don‘t Trouble a Busy ManC. What Are Good GreetingsD. Gerge Bemard Shaw‘s ReplyQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied （我种多样的）。

MBA英语历年真题阅读理解及参考答案详解Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs's board as an outside director in January 2000; a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much criticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on GoLd man's compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. Theposition was taking up too much time, she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpfuL, yet less biased, advisers on a firm's board.Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive's proposals. If the sky, and the share price, is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from Ohio University used a database that covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most LikeLy reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those "surprise" departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increases by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors arealways jumping off a sinking ship. Often they "trade up," leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easiertime of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough time may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.21. According to Paragraph 1, Ms. Simmons was criticizedfor_______.A. gaining excessive profitsB. failing to fulfill her dutyC. refusing to make compromisesD. leaving the board in tough times22. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be _______.A. generous investorsC. share price forecastersB. unbiased executivesD. independent advisers23. According to the researchers from Ohio University, after an outside director's surprise departure, the firm i8 likely to _______.A. become more stableB. report increased earningsC. do less well in the stock marketD. perform worse in lawsuits.24.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors_______.A. may stay for the attractive offers from the firmB. have often had the records of wrong doings in the firmC. are accustomed to stress-free work in the firmD. will decline incentives from the firm25. The author's attitude toward the role of outside directors is _______.A. permissiveB. positiveC. scornfulD. critical参考答案21.答案 B.本题信息点是Ms. simmons was criticized (Simmons 受到批评)，该信息出现在第一段第三句话…simmons was under fire. . 中，其中under fire 意为“受到攻击”，即“受到批评”之意。
