这道题的答案似乎争议很大，我选择的E。网友说enforce是“加强”不对。这里是讲做“执行”。题目原题agreements that they中估计they是多余的，应该是属于网友的回忆差错。如果选E，逻辑是：既然保护大学的利益条款都被执行了，他们还能大发横财，令人惊讶。隐含的前提是，大学的利益和供货商利益的冲突。C的问题在于generally scrutinized好像有点搭配不对。当然，我对这道题只有7成把握，大家鉴别吧。下面是网友的很长的分析：*7、公司从与大学们签定的高级供应协议中挣得的利润是可以预料的，因为协议中保护大学利益的条款们被普遍仔细审查过了。

A无法说明的。。。蔑视

B 不清楚的。。。宣扬C可预言的。。。细察、挑剔地检查

D下降的。。。忽视E令人惊讶的。。。加强主干简化：利润是空格。多还是少？不清楚，那就往后看。Because同义重复，协议的条款被空格了，在这里，协议不是利润的同义重复，所以光看主干无法做，只好找细节找同义重复的地方。利润来自于与大学签定的协议，后面说协议的条款保护大学，显然利润与协议的关系应该相反。也就是说第二空填增强等正评价词，利润就减少，那么第一空就填负评价词，反过来也一样。有人选了E，那就应该是“协议中保护大学的条款被增强了，所以公司从协议中挣得的利润减少了”，但是第一空“令人惊讶的”显然没有“减少的”这个意思。有的同学将E理解成“协议中保护大学的条款被增强了，所以公司从协议中居然挣得大量利润是令人惊讶的”，但是本题中没有任何线索表示利润是“大量的”的。所以此题很难！我认为答案是C，predictable是正评价词，scrutinized（inspect critically）在这里是负评价词，满足于题目的逻辑关系分析。事实上也与商业事实相符合，在协议中我们发现经常发现条款是不对等的，合同双方一方特别详细一方特别粗线条（比如电信、银行等部门的霸王条款），这样导致条款详细的一方制约因素特别多，经常处于被动地位，稍有变化就可以告你违约。在本题中，保护大学的条款被挑剔地仔细研究过了，自然公司能知道大学确切的从合同当中得到的好处，反而关于自己的条款没有详细说明，这样水分会很大，在供货协议的时间、材料、服务方式等所有不明确的弹性条款上完全取决于公司的做法，自然公司的利润是可以预料的了。除了你的，就是我的，所以在你的情况我已经确定的情况下，自然我的利润我做主，可以预期。值得争议的是B，“协议中保护大学的条款被普遍宣扬了，所以公司的利润是不清楚的。”逻辑关系成立，但是与常理似乎欠妥，读不通顺。既然协议中保护大学的条款被普遍宣扬了，也就是说大学的利润大家都知道了，公司的利润大家都不知道，所以第一空填“不为人所知的”，但是未必就是不清楚啊！
