标题: 请教一道题。T-4-Q21

T-4-Q21


  The OLEX Petroleum Company has recently determined that it could cut its refining costs by closing its Grenville refinery and consolidating all refining at its Tasberg refinery. Closing the Grenville refinery, however, would mean the immediate loss of about 1,2000 jobs in the Grenville area. Eventually the lives of more than 10,000 people would be seriously disrupted. Therefore, OLEX’s decision, announced yesterday, to keep Grenville open shows that at OLEX social concerns sometimes outweigh the desire for higher profits.

  Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument given?


A.The Grenville refinery, although it operates at a higher cost than the Tasberg refinery, has nevertheless been moderately profitable for many years.


B.Even though OLEX could consolidate all its refining at the Tasberg plant, doing so at the Grenville plant would not be feasible.


C.The Tasberg refinery is more favorably situated than the Grenville refinery with respect to the major supply routes for raw petroleum.


D.If the Grenville refinery were ever closed and operations at the Tasberg refinery expanded, job openings at Tasberg would to the extent possible be filled with people formerly employed at Grenville.


E.Closure of the Grenville refinery would mean compliance, at enormous cost, with demanding local codes regulating the cleanup of abandoned industrial sites.

E is the answer

Conclusion drawn above indicates that OLEX’s decision is due to the social concern instead of profit desire.

E says that if OLEX close the factory in G, it have to deal with the abondoned factory which will have OLEX pay high cost.  So the social concern is not the reason and conclusion is weakened if E stands.

d为什么错

同上问

D 说明就算关掉G工厂,员工也并不会下岗只是从这个工厂换到另个工厂,那么就不存在social concerns的问题。

原文要削弱不关厂是social concerns大于profit gains,也就是说关了的话就是更关注profit gains而非social concerns了,D只是指出关厂也不是social concerns的表现,是不是就不能直接削弱原文?

E

It is the cost of existing industry

it happened to an American Steel factory in 1980s when it had to  pay humongous compensation and benefits to its employees, which resulted in the go-on of the production even though it sufferred lose in revenue.

如果G关了,刚好把这些人安放到T,所以关不关对他们不存在social concern问题。所以说明不了什么问题。

要虚弱,我们还是要找到一个点,就是因为profit(or cost)的问题没有关,而不是social concern问题。资本家还是关心钱的问题,才不会因为社会影响不做这些决定,何况关不关都不会引起社会问题。

这个题答案选E。大家某些人认为D对。。我也选了D。。
而且E Closure of the Grenville refinery would mean compliance, at enormous cost, with demanding local codes regulating the cleanup of abandoned industrial sites.
虽然这个 at enormous cost蛮煞有其事的。。可是说的是abandoned industrail sites..原文什么时候说过这个Grenville refinery 要abandoned呢。。明明是functioning的好好的嘛。。所以此选项极度无关

大家怎么认为的?

我觉得abandoned是没有问题的,因为要关厂,理解为不要这个厂似乎也无所谓吧
E的问题在于没有说清理费用不足以被新方案的高利润弥补啊,如果清理费足以被弥补,那么新方案还是会产生higher profits的,那么公司决定不关厂就是因为重视社会问题超过利润,就算不是因为重视社会问题而且其他什么问题吧,至少这个问题的重要性超过了利润,所以E至少是不能削弱原文的
而D说其实员工会被安排到扩大的厂里,社会问题其实根本不存在,而公司还是决定关掉这个厂,那得出“公司因重视社会问题重于利润而不关厂”的这个结论显然是站不住脚的,这不就削弱原文了吗
请各位指教

http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=24&ID=395054&page=1   这个解释的还是很清楚的。。D只是说明了关注social,但是文中问的是为什么不关,以及profit和social之间孰重孰轻。D没有比较。
