Business Consultant: Some corporations shun the use of executive titles because they
fear that the use of titles indicating position in the corporation tends to inhibit
communication up and down the corporate hierarchy. Since an executive who uses a
title is treated with more respect by outsiders, however, use of a title can facilitate an
executive’s dealings with external businesses. The obvious compromise is for these
executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally, since even if it is
widely known that the corporation’s executives use executive titles outside their
organization, this knowledge does not by itself inhibit communication within the
corporation.
In the consultant’s reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following
roles?
A. The first presents an obstacle to achieving a certain goal; the second presents a
reason for considering that goal to be undesirable.
B. The first is a consideration that has led to the adoption of a certain strategy; the
second presents a reason against adopting that strategy.
C. The first describes a concern that the consultant dismisses as insignificant; the
second is a consideration that serves as the basis for that dismissal.
D. The first is a belief for which the consultant offers support; the second is part of
that support.
E. The first is a belief against which evidence is offered; the second is part of the
evidence offered against that belief.
MINE E
ANS B
请指教
我选B。最吻合题目思路,先说因为担心使用头衔影响上下级交流(consideration)而禁止使用头衔称呼(strategy),但是这样会影响与外部交往便利(reason against strategy), 最后提出一折中方案(solution没提到)。
E中的evidence 是没有在题中有体现的吧?
不好意思
刚才BOLDFACE没标出来
The obvious compromise is for these executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally
compromise 折衷、妥协
C中dismisses as insignificant完全错误
同意B.
支持B. 两者矛盾后妥协compromise, 问两者的作用,应该一个赞成,另一个反对是合乎原逻辑的表述.
C 我觉得主要是 insignificant,是个无关选项.
关于CONSIDERATION 是指需要考虑的事项, 这个词在这里非常符合BF1, 于是我锁定B.
而C中出现的CONSIDERATION与BF2不符, 排除.
