McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run.It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations.And McGee isnt alone.In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post.As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure，executives who dont get the nod also may wish to move on.A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.

他说在离开的时候并没有找好后面的职位(下家)，使他有时间去反思他到底想去经营一家什么样的公司。这同时也就他的激情和决心，给了外界一个清晰的信号。这样做的并不只是McGee一个人。最近几周，Avon 和American Express的一些高级经理离职并解释说想找一个CEO的职位。当董事会迫于股东的压力对一系列的计划进行审查的时候，那些计划被否定掉的经理们也会想离开。激烈的商业环境同样使得高级经理很小心，模糊的表态可能会破坏他们的声誉。

 

27.According to Paragraph 2，senior executives quitting may be spurred by .

 

根据第二段，高级管理人员的辞职是由  促使的。

 

［A］their expectation of better financial status

他们期望有更高的收入

 

［B］their need to reflect on their private life

他们需要反思自己的人生

 

［C］their strained relations with the boards

他们与董事会之间的紧张关系

 

［D］their pursuit of new career goals

他们想要追求新的职业目标

 

细节题（和因果相关）

 

根据题干中的关键词senior executives quitting（结果），以及spurred by可知寻找原因：文章中很明确的with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post为原因。

 

包含有因果的细节题需要明确地定出哪个是原因，哪个是结果。

 

D选项和原文使用了上下义词的替换。new career goals=CEO post，也是上下义词的替换。干扰性最大的就是C选项了，后文确实提到了和board 之间的关系，但是是讲在计划不被批准的时候，并不是和董事会关系紧张，并且董事会的审查是在股东的压力下才执行的。
