26. Barnes: The two newest employees at this company have salaries that are too high for the simple tasks normally assigned to new employees and duties that are too complex for inexperienced workers. Hence, the salaries and the complexity of the duties of these two newest employees should be reduced.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which Barnes’s argument depends?
A. The duties of the two newest employees are not less complex than any others in the company.
B. It is because of the complex duties assigned that the two newest employees are being paid more than is usually paid to newly hired employees.
C. The two newest employees are not experienced at their occupations.
D. Barnes was not hired at a higher-than-average starting salary.
E. The salaries of the two newest are no higher than the salaries that other companies pay for workers with a similar level of experience.
答案是C。解释:
A: 不是假设
B: 这似乎在为两个新雇员拿高工资找理由，所以不能支持结论。
C: 正确。因为原文中说对于不熟练的员工来说，工资太高了; 并且要降低工作的复杂程度。如果员工胜任的话，why bother? 所以，重要假设就是这些员工在岗位上不胜任。
D: 这个选项太离题了，而且似乎有贬低Barnes人格之嫌。
E: 这个起到了削弱结论的作用，所以不是assumption。
我觉得答案应该选B
原因：
1 材料结尾the salaries and the complexity of the duties of these two newest employees should be reduced. 说salary和complexity都应该减少，前提就是这两者成正比
2 文中已经提及工人没经验： duties that are too complex for inexperienced workers 这里inexperienced workers 是指代 并不是假设
请大家讨论下 谢谢
唉
问了半天都没人搭理
不知道谁整天吹牛比说CD好人一堆
不要生气，不要着急！
我是觉得结论说了两个部分，一个是complexity of the duty,一个是salary,所以答案要能包含这两方面的因素。。
将B选项取非，无论你是将因为部分取非，或者将结果部分取非，你会发现B取非后对结论只有一部分是削弱的，要么是comoplexity，要么是salary...
B答案是客观事实，和原文阐述的是一样的，可是要推出结论，RELAY ON C 答案啊。
因为如果没有C 的话，即便他们的PAY 是TOO HIGH 和DUTY TOO HIGH 也不能推出他们可以REDUCE。因为他们可以是EXPERIENCED 的。
也就是说还差一个必要条件，就是他们一定要是 NOT EXPERIENCED 的
