X6. The amount of time it takes for most of a worker’s occupational knowledge and skills to become obsolete has been declining because of the introduction of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT). Given the rate at which AMT is currently being introduced in manufacturing, the average worker’s old skills become obsolete and new skills are required within as little as five years.

Which of the following plans, if feasible, would allow a company to prepare most effectively for the rapid obsolescence of skills described above?

(A) The company will develop a program[to offer selected employees the opportunity to receive training six years after they were originally hired.

(B) The company will increase its investment in AMT every year for a period of at least five years.

(C)The company will periodically survey its employees to determine how the introduction of AMT has affected them.

(D Before the introduction of AMT, the company will institute an educational program to inform its employees of the probable consequences of the introduction of AMT.

(E) The company will ensure that it can offer its employees any training necessary for meeting their job requirements.E

疑问：文中的结论ATM、题目中的obsolescence of skills和选项中的training有和必然联系？

13.In Swartkans territory, archaeologists discovered charred bone fragments dating back one million years. Analysis of the fragments, which came from a variety of animals, showed that they had been heated to temperatures no higher than those produced in

experimental campfires made from branches of white stinkwood, the most common tree around Swartkans.

Which of the following, if true, would, together with the information above, provide the best basis for the claim that the charred bone fragments are evidence of the use of fire by early hominids?

(A) The white stinkwood tree is used for building material by the present-day nhabitants of

Swartkans.

(B) Forest fires can heat wood to a range of temperatures that occur in campfires.

(C) The bone fragments were fitted together by the archaeologists to form the complete skeletons of several animals
(D) Apart from the Swartkans discovery, there is reliable evidence that early hominids used fire as many as 500,000 years ago.

(E) The bone fragments were found in several distinct layers of limestone that contained primitive cutting tools known to have been used by early hominids. E

疑问：怎么感觉文章、题目、和选项几乎没有联系？

100. One way to judge the performance of a company is to compare it with other companies. This technique, commonly called “benchmarking,”permits the manager of a company to discover better industrial practices and can provide a justification for the

adoption of good practices.

Any of the following, if true, is a valid reason for benchmarking the performance of a company against companies with which it is not in competition rather than against competitors EXCEPT:
(A) Comparisons with competitors are most likely to focus on practices that the manager making the comparisons already employs.

(B) Getting “inside” information about the unique practices of competitors is particularly difficult.

(C) Since companies that compete with each other are likely to have comparable levels of efficiency, only benchmarking against noncompetitors is likely to reveal practices that would aid in beating competitors.

(D) Managers are generally more receptive to new ideas that they find outside their own industry
(E)Much of the success of good companies is due to their adoption of practices that take

advantage of the special circumstances of their products or markets. E

文章引入benchmark，题目提问comprtitor，正确选项确是 take
advantage of the special circumstances，不懂逻辑关系啊，亲们~

advantage of the special circumstances，不懂逻辑关系啊，亲们~

疑问：正确选项和竞争者，非竞争者有何关系？

以上几道题目都不是很清楚他的逻辑链，亲们！谁能求解一下啊！小的在此谢过了！~

第一题：
讲的是ATM的引入使得工人的职业知识过时的时间变短，就是越来越容易被淘汰（大概这个意思，我翻译中文不好哈），然后由于ATM机在近期被逐渐引入，工人的旧技术过时与新技术的习得要在5年内完成，问公司如何才能应对这一变化~这样一来E的答案就很显然，training就是提供培训，使得工人require new skill

第二题：
conclusion是CBF是人类早期用火的证据
然后上面的内容里已经提供了一些support，需要从下面的选项中选出一个也能support这个conclusion的
所以，按照本人愚见，其实只要看懂问题就可以做选择，上面的reading部分跟下面的正确答案其实是个并列关系，并非需要一定的太严密的联系
E选项说CBF是和tools一起发现的~就可以证明CBF跟人类使用工具的时代是同时代的~
其他选项更加离谱

第三题：
第三题先是引进了一个概念，意思是company要从other companies那里取经
问的是事实上B是针对非竞争者而言的~注意是except
其实呢，可以从两个方面来找答案
一个是support：支持从非competition那里取经的 c,d选项
一个是weaken：从competition那里取经是negative的 A,B选项
剩下就是E~无关的啦

(E) The company will ensure that it can offer its employees any training necessary for meeting their job requirements.

疑问：文中的结论ATM、题目中的obsolescence of skills和选项中的training有和必然联系？

这个文章premise说AMT这个高新技术的介入造成了workers‘current skills的降低，即无用武之地。conclusion说：由于ATM的介入，workers’ current skills会不能再继续使用，所以需要在五年内具备新的技术才能与ATM抗衡。那么怎么样才能让这些workers有更新的skills，那无非是training，只要是可以达到new skills的要求，那么他们的skills也就不会obsoleted了。
E选项说the company will offer its employees any training necessary for meeting the job requirements正好support了这个conclusion，而且是将所有的可能性都涵盖了，只要是new skills且能够避免skills obsolete的skills都可以。

Analysis of the fragments, which came from a variety of animals, showed that they had been heated to temperatures no higher than those produced in experimental campfires made from branches of white stinkwood, the most common tree around Swartkans.

Which of the following, if true, would, together with the information above, provide the best basis for the claim that the charred bone fragmentsare evidence of the use of fire by early hominids?

(A) The white stinkwood tree is used for building material by the present-day nhabitants of

Swartkans.

(B) Forest fires can heat wood to a range of temperatures that occur in campfires.

(C) The bone fragments were fitted together by the archaeologists to form the complete skeletons of several animals

(E) The bone fragments were found in several distinct layers of limestone that contained primitive cutting tools known to have been used by early hominids.

疑问：怎么感觉文章、题目、和选项几乎没有联系？

Background：The charred bone fragments dated back 1M years.
Premise: The fragments indicated that it was heated at temperature no higher than those stink wood.
Conclusion：Charred bond fragments are used by earlier hominids.
这样的话，我在没有看选项之前，我会想到一定会有个什么联系是关于早期人类和fragments的，以为他们要用火的嘛！然后看选项：
(A) The white stinkwood tree is used for building material by the present-day nhabitants of Swartkans.
--〉无关！这种stinkwood tree是不是用来做buidling material和我们的结论无关！
(B) Forest fires can heat wood to a range of temperatures that occur in campfires.
--〉forest fires可以烧木头，这不就是说和fragments没关系了吗？
(C) The bone fragments were fitted together by the archaeologists to form the complete skeletons of several animals
--〉这些fragments最后可以拼成动物的骨架也无关！
(D) Apart from the Swartkans discovery, there is reliable evidence that early hominids used fire as many as 500,000 years ago.
--〉早期人类使用火在50万年前，和我们的1M years时间不吻合，而且基本上不起到任何support作用。
(E) The bone fragments were found in several distinct layers of limestone that contained primitive cutting tools known to have been used by early hominids.
--〉这些bone fragments被发现在大理石的好几层layer中，而这个大理石显示了早期人类利用cutting tools的痕迹。这个结论明显将conclusion和premise直接联系起来了。

疑问：正确选项和竞争者，非竞争者有何关系？

这个CR的问题比较绕，Any of the following, if true, is a valid reason for benchmarking the performance of a company against companies with which it is not in competition rather than against competitors EXCEPT:实际上就是说以下哪个选项是关于against companies with which it is in competition的？因为有两个否定。not和except~~
premise：最好的可以判断一个公司的方法就是将他本身和其他公司比较
Conclusion：公司引入benchmarking，即1. 公司管理阶层要发掘更好的practice,并且2. 要懂得如何判断去接纳一个practice。
问题让你找出一个可以利用这种benchmarking performance to against competitive company的原因，所以我的第一个反应就是要扣主题，either 1 or 2,都可以support。
(E)Much of the success of good companies is due to their adoption of practices that take advantage of the special circumstances of their products or markets.
这个选项说很多成功的公司都是因为他们采纳了practice,什么practice呢？就是很好的利用了他们的产品或市场的practice.所以在这里算是support了观点2。

谢谢各位，我先看一下哈

Roxas605 · 发表于 2011-10-30 22:55:01

谢谢亲啦~

貌似这几道题目确定有点怪异呢，楼上的意思是

第100题题目就是support原文观点1或者2就行了嘛？
