23。D。大家要查查qualify的意思就知道应该是D了。我原来错选B，觉得好像有一些转折的意思，后来差了qualify的意思，很符合这个情况。是递进，不是转折。

24。E。大家要注意，后面并没有说employ decision-sharing in developing strategic plans的可能性，只是说在“building”中不employ decision-sharing更能adherence to plans。相反，D可以在原文中间直接得到。

In OG284, ETS explains the meaning of "qualify": "To qualify a claim is to weaken or soften it."

I vote D for 23.

24: The difference between "build" and "harvest" is the emphasis on "short term profitability and cash flow". In other words, "maximizing cash-flow" is not the differentiation. in long term, "build" strategy would realize cash flow and profitability. thus D is not correct. i vote for D.

Q23:

Which of the following best describes the function of the first sentence (lines 17-24) of the second paragraph of the passage?

              

1. To answer a question posed in the first sentence of the passage about why firms adopt particular strategic missions
2. To refute an argument made in the first paragraph about how top management decision-making affects whether firms will adhere to their strategic plans
3. To provide evidence supporting a theory introduced in the first paragraph about what makes firms adhere to or deviate from their strategic plants
4. To qualify an assertion made in the preceding sentence (lines 6-16) about how top management decision-making affects the likelihood that firms will adhere to their strategic plans
   
5. To explain a distinction relied on in the second paragraph (lines 17-68) regarding two different kinds of strategic missions

我觉得E对，虽然我选了D。

我认为D最大的问题不在qualify——事实上，我觉得qualify比E里的explain好——而在于后面的about how top management decision-making affects the likelihood that firms will adhere to their strategic plans 。如果改成 about whether the likelihood will be effected by management decision-makeing 那我就直奔D了。

大家的意见呢？？

23. D. qualify是指让步的负评价，however在二段首句是引出作者的态度，对前面是负评价的，而后因出自己的观点。而E中用explain, 而我认为后面的内容才是explain 并support作者在二段首句提出的结论啊！E显然不对！

24. E. 原文说的是harvest strategic中decision-sharing may have a more positive relationship with adherence，并没有说他们的倾向性（E中的how likely)。D是原文32行的精确改写。

23D

此题问的是17-24这句话的作用，这句话如下:However, the relationship between top management decision-sharing and adherence to plans may be affected by a firm's strategic mission (its fundamental approach to increasing     sales revenue and market share, and generating cash flow and short-term profits).  

这句话没有任何一个地方提到distinction，因此E无论如何不可能成为答案的。

24D

文章没有任何一个地方提到Build Strategy对maximizing cash-flow重要性的认识，虽然从文章我们可以知道Harvest Strategy很重视maximizing cash-flow，但由于没有关于Build Strategy的信息，不能正确得到relative importance的信息，因此D应该是正确答案

而E选项中的decision-sharing在两个方面都有多处提到，并且有强烈的对比，显然不能作为答案。

同意楼上。 23 24 答案都是D。

24 选E

全文结构：
第一段：说了一种作者认为比较普遍的观点: decision sharing 导致 adherence to plans
第二段：指出上述观点并不全面，build strategy就是个例外: individual leadership 导致 adherence to plans

E选项如果改成 the relationship between employing decision sharing and adherence to plans 即为两种strategy的不同之处。

23题，E对，主要是为了启下。

24，我还是支持选d.

文中强调两个strategy的区别是对待short-term cashflow的态度，而不是对cashflow.

“build” strategies are pursued when a firm .... sacrifice short-term profits to do so.

“harvest” strategies are used when a firm sacrifice marked share for short-term profitability and cash-flow maximiza tion.
