问问大全III-18，zzzzzzz~~~~

18.   Corporate Officer: Last year was an unusually poor one for our chemical division, which has traditionally contributed about 60 percent of the corporation’s profits. It is therefore encouraging that there is the following evidence that the pharmaceutical division is growing stronger: it contributed 45 percent of the corporation’s profits, up from 20 percent the previous year.

On the basis of the facts stated, which of the following is the best critique of the evidence presented above?

(A) The increase in the pharmaceutical division’s contribution to corporation profits could have resulted largely from the introduction of single, important new product.

(B) In multidivisional corporations that have pharmaceutical divisions, over half of the corporation’s profits usually come from the pharmaceuticals.

(C) The percentage of the corporation’s profits attributable to the pharmaceutical division could have increased even if that division’s performance had not improved.

(D) The information cited does not make it possible to determine whether the 20 percent share of profits cited was itself an improvement over the year before.（C）

(E) The information cited does not make it possible to compare the performance of the chemical and pharmaceutical divisions in of the percent of total profits attributable to each.   E====C

题目意思：chemical 部门做得不够好，只贡献了60%的公司利润，而pharmaceutical部就很好，贡献了45%公司利润，之前只是20%，提高了，所以 growing stronger。问批评以上的证据。

答案C。The percentage of the corporation’s profits attributable to the pharmaceutical division could have increased even if that division’s performance had not improved.，支持了pharmaceutical部做的更好的证据呀，怎么是批评呢？》而D什么问题？就是怀疑了pharmaceutical 20%来历不明。。。。所以会引起争议。

另外这道题目很奇怪，明显60%比45%多，怎么说chemical 部门做得不够好呢？不明白的

which has traditionally....

也就是说chem的部门今年比前年的做的差， 相对的， 即便ph没有做的比去年好， 只是维持的话， 有余总数的减少， 它所占的比重也会增加的。 PS 我理解的20％是ph去年所占的份额， 所以和D一点关系都没有

C本身就是一个评价的说

不是这样的么？

"另外这道题目很奇怪，明显60%比45%多，怎么说chemical 部门做得不够好呢？不明白的".----60%和45% 的基数可以不一样.100万的60%,200万的45%...// 60%是去年的数据,和45%相关的是今年数据.

C: P从20% 增加到45%,是有可能其他部分的数量下降造成的.所以P的profit不一定有改善.

啊，明白了：）原来是要反驳P的对公司利润造成的疑点。

A）有支持P的对公司利润贡献的成分。

B）同上

C）是答案，说P的业绩并不好，但是利润上升了，对其他方面的情况就有怀疑而profit不一定有改善。

D）无关。20%是什么不大影响，关键是45%中有提高。

E）是无关么？文章不是说compare C和P。。。。

E需要做些确认

ing?这个题目含有内在的意思，令人难以察觉？？

看清题目就好

C 业务以前都有60％，但是去年做的不好。

P业务有很大增长，因为数据反应，其为公司贡献的利润从20％涨到45％

选项C在说，有种情况，业务本身不发展，数据也依然会很漂亮。所以从数字来判断业务表现，不合适。
