Radio stations with radio data system (RDS) technology broadcast special program information that only radios with an RDS feature can receive. Between 1994 and 1996, the number of RDS radio stations in Verdland increased from 250 to 600. However, since the number of RDS-equipped radios in Verdland was about the same in 1996 as in 1994, the number of Verdlanders receiving the special program information probably did not increase significantly.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
【坐稳】JJ有的,细节有点点出入,说Crow‘s XX Clothes 公司一直都在连锁的retail outlet卖衣服,连续5年sell都是增长状态/业绩很好,而且每次上架都是销售一空,是the hotest line among young people。所以他们准备开150家自己的won retail stores all over the city,根据趋势,一旦店铺开张,manager建议人们尽快去采购,因为库存stock很快就木有了(我当时都笑出来了看到这句,臭美)。另外,他们的CEO是一个former rock star,所有人都recognize his name,所以说有这个名人的人气撑场,一定会保证公司的success。
【逻辑】我竟然遇到了两道prep原题,在最后,大概是掉库了,哎……
1)题面一样,但问的不是assumption,而是问以下哪项能加强结论。换汤不换面
Radio stations with radio data system (RDS) technology broadcast special program information that only radios with an RDS feature can receive. Between 1994 and 1996, the number of RDS radio stations in Verdland increased from 250 to 600. However, since the number of RDS-equipped radios in Verdland was about the same in 1996 as in 1994, the number of Verdlanders receiving the special program information probably did not increase significantly.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) Few if any of the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994 broadcast to people with RDS-equipped radios living in areas not previously reached by RDS stations.
(B) In 1996 most Verdlanders who lived within the listening area of an RDS station already had a radio equipped to receive RDS.
(C) Equipping a radio station with RDS technology does not decrease the station's listening area.
(D) In 1996 Verdlanders who did not own radios equipped to receive RDS could not receive any programming from the RDS radio stations that began broadcasting in Verdland after 1994.
(E) The RDS radio stations in Verdland in 1996 did not all offer the same type of programming.
2)还有一道找不到题了,但我确定以前做过。就是R和V镇,R比去年的犯罪率增长了60%,V比去年增长了5%,所以说R镇的居民比V镇更容易成为victim of crime。问如何evaluate?
选项大概有:R和V镇居民人数是否稳定;R镇的这些crime是否没有V镇那么严重;R和V去年的犯罪率(个人认为这个正确,因为如果R去年1%,V去年20%,那么R今年1.6%,V今年21%,还是V的犯罪率高);V镇是否提高了警察执勤度;其他镇如何如何
V2:1.Two managementapproach in the company第一段:Technocenter-approach, the traditional model is top-down. Such approach was raised with the intent to reduce the labor cost and increase the productive efficiency. However this is not the case, such approachis not that efficient. It fails to increase the productivity, arouse the problem of employee’s moral and hierarchy, and lacks the participation.Ex: banking industry. At present, the organization need to decentralize the power to emphasize worker's participation, thus making the organization more efficient.
第二段: Recommended by the author, organization-approach,which is preferable, decentralized the power in the organization. Theadvantage is that such approach will encourage employees’ participation. Though organization-approach is based on the assumptionthat the employees and the manager share the same goal, the worker's participation do improve the productive efficiency. (最后这句话的逻辑关系是这样的,之前JJ里面的说法有瑕疵)
2. 介绍一种新的organization-centered的战略,就是倡导在implement new system时加强员工的参与,尤其是使用系统的员工的参与,以增强沟通。而且新的战略强调decentralization。但是这个模式也有局限,比如assumption是建立在employee participation,并和manager share the same goal。虽然有这个缺陷,但是这种新战略还是对企业更有好处。
Para2第二段提出应该decentralization(非集权化),讲了几个优点,encourage employee participation等。文章最后说这个方法之所以能efficient是建立在不同级别员工share the same goal的assumption上。
V5:我来补充Technocentric 这一篇,至今印象深刻
第一段作者给technocentric 这个名词做了定义,然后说了这个理论的假设是top-down structure based upon(考题一:作者提到这个假设的意义是什么我选择为后面的一个提供一个challenge 的base因为后面的一个理论假设是encourage employee participation) 然后作者举例banking industry,说这个理论fail, 然后作者提出另外一个理论,是decentralization approach, 他强调的是employee participation,还有两道出题点一个是说为什么banking industry,technocentric will fail, 我选择他没有encourage employee particpation.
文章脉络
P1:讲了一种叫technocentric implementation的策略,是传统的,就是在implement new system时以技术人员为核心,然后由公司管理层from top to bottom的进行决策的模式【这种模式是作者批判的】。当初是为了提高产量和节约人力资本, 但是后来有很多问题:缺乏员工的参与、影响员工的士气morale、hierarchy,产量没提高。举了个banking industry里面的例子。
P2:作者着力推荐另外一种叫organizational implementation的策略,就是倡导在implement new system时加强员工的参与,尤其是使用系统的员工的参与,以增强沟通。【这种模式是作者欣赏和推荐的】。但是这个模式也有局限,比如assumption是建立在employee participation,并和manager share the same goal
