考研英语重在基础，建议广大考生在了解考研英语大纲的前提下，首先积累英语词汇量，并通过做阅读理解、翻译、写作等练习在词义方面加以提升，然后再考虑学习掌握答题技巧。当然，我们知道英语知识的复习是一个长期积累的过程。让我们跟随何凯文老师的每日一句。所谓：不积跬步，无以至千里;不积小流，无以成江海。坚持就是胜利!阅读中的同意替换!

If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition — wealth,distinction, control over one’s destiny — must be deemed worthy of thesacrifices made on ambition’s behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated not least among them. In ano dd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have give up on ambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited fromambition — if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents.There is a heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped — with the educated themselves riding on them.

68. The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that it is________.

[A]customary of the educated to discard ambition in words

[B] too lateto check ambition once it has been let out

[C]dishonest to deny ambition after the fulfillment of the goal

[D]impractical for the educated to enjoy benefits from ambition

题型识别：句子推理题

解题思路：不能关注句子本身，答案应该来自句子所在段落的信息或主题。

具体讲：第一句。But 第二句。

问第一句implies 什么，答案应该是对第二句的同意替换。

问第二句implies什么，答案依然是对第二句的同意替换;只是可以通过第一句推出第二句是什么意思。今天就是问的转折后的句子implies什么所以就不扭曲了。

选项分析：首先理解之前两句：In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have give up onambition as an ideal. What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition — if notalways their own then that of their parents and grandparents. (受教育的人从ambition 中获益后却声称放弃了ambition 作为一个理想。)

最后一句开头写的是：this is …说明是对前两句的总结。

因此知道最后一句是对于前两句话的总结。就是段落主题了，就可以不和昨天一样纠结了。答案就应该是一句能概括前面这种现象的句子：

四个选项中能很好概括前两句话的选项只能是：[C] dishonest to deny ambition after the fulfillment of the goal

这本就是一种不诚实(dishonest)，也就是原文中所说的虚伪(hypocrisy)。

其他选项都不能起能起到这个作用，并且即使是就选项论选项，也有表述的错误。

A选项的：customary D选项的impractical都是文中没有谈及的。
