【答案】【参考译文】

46.这篇论文认为，与赫胥黎在《美丽新世界》或《星球大战》中预测的一群低智商克隆工人或一支战斗的军队不同，克隆将带来越来越多的高技能熟练工人。

47.最近，芭芭拉•基维亚特写了两篇文章，论述收入不平等是如何成为金融危机的主要促成因素。让我们来考虑一下。如果克隆导致收入不平等，而收入不平等导致金融危机，那么我们就发现了问题的症结。

48.金融改革受到的批评之一是，这是每次都是通过“后视镜”进行监管。议员们的重点是阻止导致最近金融危机的原因。因此，在科技泡沫破灭后，新的规则出台以阻止华尔街利用分析师推销毫无价值的股票。

49.我们现在都知道，所有这些改革都对阻止最新的金融危机收效甚微。这场危机的驱动因素不是股市，而是房价、宽松的贷款和华尔街不健全的冒险行为。

50.由法国图卢兹经济学院的教授吉勒斯•圣保罗撰写的这篇论文对克隆人这一课题做了大量研究，据我所知，克隆人还不存在。

【考查点】动词辨析。

【解题思路】根据so…that可知，此处是结果状语从句，根据前半句句意“那位年轻女子是如此漂亮”可推知，she______everyotherwoman是指“她令其他女子黯然失色”，故该题选择D项符合句意。

【干扰项排除】A、B、C项都不符合句意。

【句意】那位年轻女子太漂亮了，使舞会上的其他妇女黯然失色。
