T-4-Q18
        天山-7-17(D)

    

As a large corporation in small country, Hachnut wants its
managers to have international experience, so each year it sponsors
management education abroad for its management trainees. Hachnut has found,
however, that the attrition rate of graduates from this program is very high,
with many of them leaving Hachnut to join competing firms soon after completing
the program. Hachnut doe use performance during the program as criterion in
deciding among candidates for management positions, but both this function
and the goal of providing international experience could be achieved in other
ways. Therefore, if the attrition problem cannot be successfully addressed,
Hachnut should discontinue
the sponsorship program.

    

 

    

In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

    

 

    

1. The first describes a practice that the argument seeks
        to justify; the second states a judgment that is used in support of a
        justification for that practice.
2. The first describes a practice that the argument seeks
        to explain; the second presents part of the argument’s explanation of that
        practice.
3. The first introduces a practice that the argument seeks
        to evaluate; the second provides grounds for holding that the practice cannot achieve its objective.
4. The first introduces a policy that the argument seeks
        to evaluate; the
        second provides grounds for holding that the policy is not needed.
5. The first introduces a consideration supporting a
        policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides evidence
        for concluding that the policy should be abandoned.

    

 

    

1）
                结论：if the attrition
problem cannot be successfully addressed, Hachnut should discontinue the sponsorship
program. （therefore）

    

2）
                逻辑图：该公司为了让管理层有国际经验每年把他们扔到国外培训教育——》但是，公司发现受教育的同志大批背叛——》该公司的目标完全可以由其他方式实现——》因此，如果叛徒不减少的话，最好中断这个费力不讨好的项目

    

3）
                CD最为相似。看看program的同义词有policy，因此policy接近原意。

    

另外，作者说两个方面可以由其他方式实现，没有说这个program不能实现目标，问题是，这个方式有其副作用：制造叛徒。因此，作者的结论（结论再次强调很重要！）是如果问题不能解决，就中断（not needed吻合）。
