The increased incidence in这种供求矛盾似乎很讽刺,因为 recent years of mismatches between消费者购买模式的数据趋于精确, production and demand seems ironic,弹性生产又允许小量商品的生产。 since point-of-sale scanners have (10) improved data on consumers’ buying patterns and since flexible manufacturing has enabled companies to 24 produce, cost-effectively, small quantities of goods. This type of弹性生产导致美国每年新产品 (15) manufacturing has greatly increased大量增加。但是频繁引入新产品 the number of new products introduced有两个消极的副作用。 annually in the United States. However, frequent introductions of new products have two problematic side effects. For 一方面产品平均寿命缩短;它 (20) one, they reduce the average lifetime of们既不处于初期(难以预计), products; more of them are neither at the也不处于末期(库存昂贵)。 beginning of their life (when prediction is difficult) or at the end of their life (when keeping inventory is expen- (25) sive because the products will soon become obsolete). For another, as另一方面,随着新产品泛滥, new products proliferate, demand is需求在增加的库存单位内分配 divided among a growing number of stock-keeping units (SKU’s).

A. To cite a situation in which the aggregate demand is more important than the distribution of demand among SKU’s B. To refute an assertion about the side effects of flexible manufacturing C. To illustrate an assertion about companies’ ability to forecast demand D. To provide an example of ways in which companies address the difficulties offorecasting demand E. To note an exception to the author’s assertion about distributing demand am-ongSKU’s Q24: The passage suggests which of the following about divided demand among a growingnumber of SKU’s? A. It has increased the average lifetime of products. B. It has resulted from retailer’s attempts to predict demand more accurately andavoid both understocks and overstocks. C.
