122. Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from anindependent supplier a product or service that a company has previouslyprovided for itself. Since a company’s chief objective is to realize thehighest possible year-end profits, any product or service that can be obtainedfrom an independent supplier for less than it would cost the company to providethe product or service on its own should be outsourced.
Which of the following, if true, mostseriously weakens the argument?
(A) If a company decides to use independent suppliers fora product, it can generally exploit the vigorous competition arising amongseveral firms that are interested in supplying that product.
(B) Successful outsourcing requires a company to provideits suppliers with information about its products and plans that can fall intothe hands of its competitors and give them a business advantage.
(C) Certain tasks, such as processing a company’spayroll, are commonly outsourced, whereas others, such as handling the company’score business, are not.
(D) For a company to provide a product or service foritself as efficiently as an independent supplier can provide it, the managersinvolved need to be as expert in the area of that product or service as thepeople in charge of that product or service at an independent supplier are.
(E) When a company decides to use an independent supplierfor a product or service, the independent supplier sometimes hires members ofthe company’s staff who formerly made the product or provided the service thatthe independent supplier now supplies.
问，B怎么就是正确答案呢？无法理解，泄露商业秘密，给对手机会，并不表示会减少自己的成本吧？？（相对于outsourcing，成本是否降低是本题的argument？）那D也应该对，应为要求经理懂这个懂那个，岂不是也增加了人力成本？
115.Guidebook writer: I have visited hotels throughout the country and have noticedthat in those built before 1930 the quality of the original carpentry work isgenerally superior to that in hotels built afterward. Clearly carpentersworking on hotels before 1930 typically worked with more skill, care, andeffort than carpenters who have worked on hotels built subsequently. which of the following, if true, mostseriously weakens the guidebook writer’s argument? (A) The quality of original carpentry inhotels is generally far superior to the quality of original carpentry in otherstructures, such as houses and stores.
(B) Hotels built since 1930 cangenerally accommodate more guests than those built before 1930.
(C) The materials available tocarpenters working before 1930 were not significantly different in quality fromthe materials available to carpenters working after 1930.
(D) The better the quality of originalcarpentry in a building, the less likely that building is to fall into disuseand be demolished.
(E) The average length of apprenticeshipfor carpenters has declined significantly since 1930.
问，虽然ABCE我知道肯定不对，但是D还是无法理解，怎么就weeken了呢？ |
