OGrc42 一句话的理解

以下是引用vincent0330在2004-8-17 0:20:00的发言：

257. According to the passage, all of the following are benefits associated with backward integration EXCEPT:

(A) improvement in the management of overhead expenses=centralize overhead

(B) enhancement of profit margins on sales of components

(C) simplification of purchasing and marketing operations

(D) reliability of a source of necessary components 第四段（B）

(E) elimination of unnecessary research efforts

再看了一次, 发现我们都看得太复杂了

文中的backward都针对assemblers, 没有对independent suppliers

这里的(B)说enhancement of profit margins on sales of components

而能在sales of components获利得到profit margins的只有independent suppliers

有关257, 我的理解如下:

1. 文章最具迷惑的地方是L12-14: Where components are commodities, backward integration almost certainly boosts profits. 其实, 正如LES所提的, 这只是提供了一种可能:如果自己生产的零部件可以卖的话, 那该manufacturer的利润将会大增. 但这只是一种假设而已. 通常企业自建或自产的部分, 都不用来出售的.

2. ETS默认了sales of components只有independent supplier才可以做到, 这在其解释中就可以看出来. (ETS关于B的解释: The passage does not indicate how backward integration affects the profit margins on sales of components by independent suppliers). 事实也应如此(同意狗狗在2004-8-17日发表的意见).

3. 而本题定位在backward integration, 与L34-39(陈述independent supplier由于投入大而利润少)的论述无关.

所以, ETS对B的解释还是对的.

个人理解, 请大家指正噢!

赞同

Where components are commodities, backward integration almost certainly boosts profits.是接着上文Backward integration removes the need for some purchasing and marketing functions, centralizers overhead, and permits manufacturers to eliminate duplicated efforts in research and development.进行举例，说明有了上文backward integration的节省资金的好处，对于一些日用品生产商来说，他们的终端产品可能不需要经常的技术革新，他们的利润会容易获得。但是这句话中并没有暗示日用品生产商会卖零件，而不是终端产品。相反，文章的上下文一至默认backward integration是自产自销终端产品

A company that decides to make rather than buy important parts can lock itself into an outdated

technology. Independent suppliers may be unwilling to share innovations with assemblers with

whom they are competing. Moreover, when an assembler sets out to master the technology of

producing advanced components, the resulting demands on its resources may compromise its

ability to assemble these components successfully into end products

这个moreover之后的是什么意思呢？当assembler开始master先进技术的时候，随之而来的对于"他"资源的需求可能会使assembler完成end products的能力减弱？

怎么会以end product的能力为代价呢？另外这个resource是个什么东西啊？在前面也没有看到，请指点阿

producing advanced components, the resulting demands on its resources may compromise its

ability to assemble these components successfully into end products

此外，当组装人开始掌握生产先进部件的技术时，在组装者资源上的最终需求可能会违背他把这些部件成功组装成终端产品的能力。

意思说：即便当组装人有能力生产先进部件，并且组装他们时，可能他的资源（人力，物理，财力等等）又成为问题。

同意21楼的说法。这里的考点就在于where带出的条件，不总是成立的。

D 为什么对呢?

难道是定位第一句话?

mm,你看看第一句话：

Modern manufacturers, who need reliable sources of materials and technologically advanced

o , 谢谢xiaochun624!
