22. In 1992, a major newspaper circulated throughout North American paid its reporters an average salary paid by its principle competitors to their reporters. An executive of the newspaper argued that this practice was justified, since any shortfall that might exist in the reporters’ salaries is fully compensated by the valuable training they receive through their assignments. Which one of the following, if true about the newspaper in 1992, most seriously undermines the justification offered by the executive? (A) Senior reporters at the newspaper earned as much as reporters of similar stature who worked for the newspaper’s principle competitors. (B) Most of the newspaper’s reporters had worked there for more than ten years. (C) The circulation of the newspaper had recently reached a plateau, after it had increased steadily throughout the 1980s. (D) The union that represented reporters at the newspaper was different from the union that represented reporters at the newspaper’s competitors. (E) The newspaper was widely read throughout continental Europe and Great Britain as well as North America. 就是说,任何工资上的短缺都可以被他们工作中培训所补偿。所以,这里逻辑上的漏洞在哪里呢 如果说他们的REPORTERS都已经工作了10年以上,那么他们可获得的培训就几乎是零,也就从而WEAKEN这个ARGUMENT。 (A)只是简单提供了老员工的工资,并不能说明问题,因为题目说的是可能存在的SHORTFALL。老员工的工资可以和其他公司比,并不能说明没有其它的SHORTFALL的存在 (C) circulation 无关,原文也没提到 (D)union也是无关选项, 而且不同的UNION并不能说明工资上的多少 (E)也是无关,报纸的发行范围也和工资无关 这道题我第一次也做错了。所以,FF135 说的有道理 评论:此题较难,正确选项也比较含糊,需要推理,这种题在gmat中出现的不多。
PS 我也不喜欢这题的逻辑。
