l 22. In 1992, a major newspaper circulated throughout North American paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters. An executive of the newspaper argued that this practice was justified, since any shortfall that might exist in the reporters’ salaries is fully compensated by the valuable training they receive through their assignments.
Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermines the justification offered by the executive?
A. Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper’s principle competitors.
B. Most of the newspaper’s reporters had worked there for more than ten years.
C. The circulation of the newspaper had recently reached a plateau, after it had increased steadily throughout the 1980s.
D. The union that represented reporters at the newspaper was different from the union that represented reporters at the newspaper’s competitors.
E. The newspaper was widely read throughout continental Europe and Great Britain as well as North America.
l 23. On a certain day, nine scheduled flights on Swift Airlines were canceled. Ordinarily, a cancellation is due to mechanical problems with the airplane scheduled for a certain flight. However, since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day, some of the nine cancellations were probably due to something else.
The argument depends on which one of the following assumptions?
A. More than one or two airplanes were scheduled for the nine canceled flights.
B. Swift Airlines has fewer mechanical problems than do other airlines of the same size.
C. Each of the canceled flights would have been longer than the average flight on Swift Airlines.
D. Swift Airlines had never before canceled more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day.
All of the airplanes scheduled for the canceled flights are based at the same airport.
没人知道?不会吧.
高手们,帮帮忙呀!
22. B,10年工龄以上的员工很难再说公司给他们的training可以抵工资。
23：A, flight和airplane不同，one airplane can fly 9 flights and make 8 stops.因此作者的assumption是这9个flights是由不同的飞机来完成的，这样在9个flights同时被cancel，说明不是一架而是若干架飞机停飞，从而推论可能不是mechanical problem
