參考答案【正確答案：B】
細(xì)節(jié)題。最后一段最后一句提到, Straiford公司為其獨(dú)立的聲音而感到自豪。由最后一段可知, Straiford公司具有“局外人”的地位，不對(duì)官方的腔調(diào)隨聲附和, 可以獨(dú)立地宣稱自己的主張, 因此它給人的印象是“不隨大流的”，這也就是它引以為豪的地方。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

- 分析下述論證中存在的缺陷和漏洞，選擇若干要點(diǎn)，寫一篇600字左右的文章，對(duì)該論證的有效性進(jìn)行分析和評(píng)論。（論證有效性分析的一般要點(diǎn)是：概念，特別是核心概念的界定和使用是否準(zhǔn)確并前后一致，有無各種明顯的邏輯錯(cuò)誤，論證的論據(jù)是否成立并支持結(jié)論，結(jié)論成立的條件是否充分等） 養(yǎng)老體制改革再起波瀾，延遲退休爭(zhēng)議成焦點(diǎn) 《華夏時(shí)報(bào)》記者近日采訪獲悉，已有多個(gè)專家團(tuán)隊(duì)向人社部提交了各自的改革方案和意見。不過，盡管傳言不斷，方案版本也層出不窮，養(yǎng)老體制改革近期依然不會(huì)有較大動(dòng)作。爭(zhēng)議的焦點(diǎn)之一是延遲退休制度。 一位不愿具名的相關(guān)部門人士對(duì)本報(bào)記者稱：“官方對(duì)待延遲退休慎之又慎，所以，延遲退休很難有實(shí)質(zhì)性突破。”某專業(yè)人士在接受記者采訪時(shí)表示，我國(guó)的老齡化已經(jīng)非常嚴(yán)重。歐美等西方經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家很多都實(shí)行了延遲退休的制度，我們國(guó)家GDP已經(jīng)排名世界前列，也可以現(xiàn)在就實(shí)行延遲退休制度。 不過，有人擔(dān)心延遲退休對(duì)廣大勞動(dòng)者生產(chǎn)、生活的影響。對(duì)此有專家現(xiàn)身說法：“你看我們這些老教師，很多都是退休后返聘的，在家閑著也是沒事，還不如繼續(xù)回來發(fā)揮余熱。所以說延遲退休對(duì)勞動(dòng)者也是有好處的。” 記者從上述相關(guān)部門人士處了解到，提高法定退休年齡對(duì)大學(xué)生就業(yè)的影響比較嚴(yán)重，就業(yè)問題不解決，延遲退休就無法實(shí)現(xiàn)，所以，我國(guó)尚不到考慮延遲退休問題的時(shí)候。 事實(shí)上，“延遲退休說”甚至一度有了堅(jiān)實(shí)的理論依據(jù)：偏低的法定退休年齡已威脅到制度長(zhǎng)期的財(cái)務(wù)可持續(xù)性和支付能力。通過提高法定退休年齡來調(diào)整我國(guó)養(yǎng)老金制度中的各項(xiàng)參數(shù)勢(shì)在必行。養(yǎng)老制度說到底，就是養(yǎng)老金制度。就此，有人曾測(cè)算出這樣一組數(shù)據(jù)：我國(guó)退休年齡每延遲一年，養(yǎng)老統(tǒng)籌基金可增長(zhǎng)40億元，減支160億元，因此養(yǎng)老基金的支付壓力可以減少120億。 但是，即便如此，“先解決就業(yè)，后考慮養(yǎng)老”的呼聲一直當(dāng)屬最高。青年是國(guó)家的未來，青年就業(yè)的順利與否至關(guān)重要，所以先解決就業(yè)是順理成章的。
