同意选e。尽管首段首句很重要。但主题型题目也会偏重文章的内容和结构。

Q11:

The author of the passage suggests which of the following about HR professionals in business organizations?

1. They are generally skeptical about the value of mechanistic organizational models.
2. Their work increasingly relies on an understanding of human behavior.
3. Their work generally has little effect on the financial performance of those organizations.
4. Their status relative to other business executives affects the attitude of business school students toward the behavioral sciences.

Their practices are unaffected by the relative prominence of the behavioral sciences within business schools.

答案给的是d。我怎么觉得c是正确答案

Agree on A. If its primary purpose is to identify "factors"...., the purpose of doing so is also to "

1. propose a particular change to business school curricula "

If choose E, the first graph would be meaningless, especially the first sentence. And the whole first graph can be deleted.

4. draw a distinction between two different factors that affect the financial success of a business


5. explain how the behavioral sciences have shaped HR practices in some business organizations

Answer: C

这题我选B 理由如下:

首先文章提到 Recent theoretical work convincingly shows why behavioral factors such as organizational culture and employee relations are among the few remaining sources of sustainable competitive advantage in modern organizations. 然后 Furthermore（furthermore表示接续前一段话作解释）, empirical evidence demonstrates clear linkages between （这两者间的linkages即题目中所指的point）human resource (HR) practices(这指methodology) based in the behavioral sciences and various aspects of a firm’s financial success.

以上就是我选B 的理由

我觉得B比C 好 且切题   有不同意见吗 ?

谢谢 回答 !!

B不对阿，原文根本就没提过recent theorectical work, 更不要说theorectical work的methodology了.

谢谢 rhod 的回答 可以请斑竹看一下我的理由吗  

第一行Recent theoretical work 就有提到阿

我还是觉得B是正确的  C如果是问main idea我会比较倾向选C

但是特别标出"empirical evidence” 我觉得是B

请问意见 谢谢!!

bryan请注意首段的逻辑关系.

作者先提出自己的观点, b-school应该多教一些Behavior science.

为了支持这个观点, 作者列了三个理由:

1. 理论研究证明Behavior science很重要.

2. Furthermore, 实际经验证明Behavior science很重要.

3. Additionally的原因.

从这个逻辑关系来看, 理由2肯定是服务于作者观点, 不可能是服务于理由1.

顺便更正一下, 19楼里面我说的有错误, 没仔细看文章和兄的回帖就瞎说, 抱歉!
