问题 According to paragraph 1, the insider’s attitude towards Google IPO can be said to be
By the phrase "raised eyebrows within the industry"(Paragraph 2), we can learn that Google has

选项 A、irritated its rivals.
B、surprised its counterparts
C、been praised by its counterparts.
D、been resented by its rivals.

答案B

解析 本题问"raised eyebrows within the industry"的意思。第二段提到"At the top of the suggested price range,Google would be valued not far short of its rival internet firm Yahoo!..."Google最高的估价竟然可能与它的对手Yahoo!不相上下。这无疑会"令同行感到惊讶"。实际上可以看出surprise跟全文整体上doubt的基调颇为相近,所以做题中要认识到"符合中心思想的容易是解"这个解题技巧。激怒了它的对手、受到对手的憎恨:"raised eyebrows"从表面来看有瞪大眼睛的意思,这或许让人觉得有"憎恨"或"激怒"之意。但文中并没有谈到Google的过高估价会使对手遭受什么危害。所以"憎恨"或者"愤怒"放在这里不合逻辑。实际上如果文中没有明确说明,像这种具有严重消极感情色彩的选项一般都不会是正确选项。受到同行的赞赏:由该句的上下文来看,作者是在论述Google的估价很高。前面(第二段首句)已经谈到专家质疑Google的估价。可见这种估价的后果很难说,因此说Google受到同行赞赏比较牵强。实际上全文显然是在阐述各界对Google IPO的质疑,而本项说Google受到同行的赞赏,显然背离了中心,不可能是正确选项。
