问题 We can learn from the passage that ______.
The phrase "hits the jackpot" (Line 6, Para. 4) probably means"______".

选项 A、get out of business suddenly
B、be discovered accidentally by foresighted businessman
C、make a lot of money unexpectedly
D、prove to be very useful in daily life by chance

答案C

解析 由原文“hits the jackpot”(Line 5,Para.4) probably means定位到原文最后一段第三、四、五句Since 1998 it has been pumping funds into a private company called ISIS Innovation,set up to commercialize researchers’ discoveries.Of a total of 28 fledging spin-offs,all are still in business. While big payoff are still a long way off,“that could quickly change”,says managing director Tim Cook,“if one of them hits the jackpot.”语义题。该短语出现在最后一段,其含义可以通过上文来加以理解。前文说,牛津大学创办了一家公司,这样研究者的成果可以商业化,从而解决费用问题。接着本短语所在的句子说,虽然要解决巨额的工资问题还要很长时间,但是如果其中的一个项目hits the jackpot,那么这种状况很快就会有改观,(即工资问题可以得到一定的解决,这就说明有了一笔资金,hit the jackpot在此处的意思应该和钱有关,所以答案C)“意外获得一大笔钱”是正确答案。[避错]A)“突然脱离商业”、B)“被国外商人偶然发现”和D)“偶然被证明在日常生活中非常有用”,均不符合题意。
