4.8 第二次考试失败，提供一些考试信息

爱热的冰1021

语文里有一篇阅读是  工厂的选址问题 说是以前只注重 QUANTITIVE 例如交通和原料等等 但是这通常会被政府的政策所影响 例如利率的高低变化会使得原有的优势消失 第二段说要注重qualitative 例如当地人的素质和工作技能。
数学有道题目是 GWD类似的  是一共250个人 让他们选两个类型  有三种情况 一种是选一 一种选二 最后是选不确定  类型是DS

确认是这篇GWD的，我今天也考了，正在整理狗，回头送上。话说是我的最后一段阅读，没时间了，看了个大概就做题了。 Q14一样的，Q13不确定，好像差不多

谢谢~~~

已经通知NTY童鞋修改了阅读狗狗了

是TN23套的第三篇文章~~
我查过GWD整理版和翻译版本里都没有这篇，应该是新题了~~

GWD32-Q13-Q14
Manufacturing site location is an important consideration in determining the optimal deployment of a firm’s production resources, but one that is usually given only limited attention. Decisions about location are often based purely on quantitative analyses that trade off transportation costs, economies of scale, and other cost-based variables. This practice, however, can lead to suboptimal results, as decision-makers tend to focus only on easily quantifiable factors. A further disadvantage of strictly cost-based methods is that they tend to focus on cost advantage factors, which are often transitory Government regulations, tax systems, and exchange rates can quickly change. Strategies based on such parameters may eventually be rendered obsolete by the very factors that first created an advantage.
       In contrast, qualitative issues, which are frequently neglected in choosing manufacturing site locations, are often central to creating and supporting a competitive advantage. For example, the level of skill possessed by the local workforce varies with location; consequently, location can affect the ability of firms to implement skill-based process technologies. When formulating a site location strategy, companies should therefore emphasize qualitative factors to ensure that the chosen strategy supports the company’s overall business strategy. Only after establishing a set of desirable location options should companies refine choices using cost-based factors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q13. The passage suggests which of the following concerning qualitative methods used in choosing manufacturing sites?
A.    They are more likely than are quantitative methods to identify issues crucial to maintaining a competitive advantage
B.    They are least useful to companies with relatively low levels of manufacturing technology
C.    They have little value when applied to decisions other than choice of site
D.    They are more risky for decision makers than are quantitative methods
E.    They are used more frequently by multinational corporations than by companies with strictly domestic operations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q14. According to the passage, analysis of quantitative factors is best used for which of the following?
A.    Determining strategies for offsetting qualitative disadvantages in manufacturing site locations
B.    Evaluating manufacturing site-location parameters affecting long-term competitive advantage
C.    Choosing manufacturing site locations that have access to optimal workforce populations
D.    Narrowing manufacturing site location options arrived it through qualitative analysis
E.    Making decisions about business considerations other than location of manufacturing sites

先谢谢MM。大致看了一下，我觉得应该不错……因为有提到关键词~~~QUALITATIVE......没仔细研究……我再好好看看……

期待LZ回来确认
