你的意思是...... B对？　（３５题，　楼上的说）

erudite66

我也选A

C 说  为现在downsizing发生的解释提供另外一种解释,但是文章中说 Other factors 必须考虑,然后说

One such factor is the evolution of downsizing into a powerful business myth

因此,可以推断应该有很多的解释,而不是c说的一种

大家有没有注意35A中：operating efficiencies 文章没提过的，我想operating efficiencies 和efficiencies 是不同的吧，A应该不对。

另外mythic properties告诉我们：要到L40定位，紧记定位解体。

支持B。

Q34-的C 说 occurrence of downsizing，全文说的是downsizing的出现吗？我怎么觉得是Downsizing的效果呀。

对啊!我也是这么认为的，所以选B，谁能告诉我B为什么不对呢？

楼上的mm，文中虽然有提到negative effect, 但是没有继续，而是说non-economic 必须被考虑，紧接着one of such factors is blablabal....
yet recent research has shown that the
    

actual economic effects of downsizing

    

                (15)      are often negative for firms.  Thus,

    

organization theory cannot adequately

    

explain downsizing;
            non-economic

    

factors must also be considered.

    

One such factor is the evolution of

    

                (20)      downsizing into a powerful business

    

       myth:  managers simply believe that

    

       downsizing is efficacious.  Moreover,

    

downsizing nowadays is greeted

    

favorably by the business press; the

    

                (25)      press often refers to soaring stock

    

prices of downsizing firms (even though

    

research shows that stocks usually

    

rise only briefly after downsizing and

    

then suffer a prolonged decline).

    

                (30)      Once viewed as a sign of desperation,

    

downsizing is now viewed as a signal

    

that firms are serious about competing

    

       in the global marketplace; such signals

    

are received positively by key actors—

    

                (35)    financial analysts, consultants,

    

shareholders—who supply firms with

    

vital organizing resources.  Thus, even

    

if downsizers do not become economi-

    

      cally more efficient, downsizing’s mythic

    

                (40)     properties give them added prestige

    

in the business community, enhancing

    

their survival prospects.

那位xdjm可以帮我翻译一下这句话，牛牛们说Q35的B选项出自此处， 为什么我看不出来 ？谢谢....

这篇文章我读了十几遍，我对36题提出质疑！

我认为应该选C！！！！

the claim that a firm will become more efficient and competitive by downsizing，

这句claim没错，错的是理论根据，traditional organizational theory 不能解释之，但是新的理论可以，

C说该claim和organizational theory的前提相悖，是正确答案！
