在这楼加盖一个疑似原文
2段。第一段讲现在cost-efficient，所以企业会生产很多产品（这里有个考题）。但是这种大量的生产有不好的方面。2点，第一点是产品的寿命变短了，第2点是什么忘了（不是很重要）。第2段讲的是企业现在基本可以预测最后产品的总销售量，但是由于一种R什么东西的存在，使得企业不能预测消费者在各个产品间的偏好。R就是指消费者不有不同的消费倾向，我是这么想的。最后还举了个例子说明这个。（有题目考到问为什么举这个例子）。
Companies that must determine well in advance of the selling season how many units of a new product to manufacture often underproduce products that sell well and have overstocks of others. The increased incidence in recent years of mismatches between production and demand seems ironic, since point-of-sale scanners have improved data on consumers’ buying patterns and since flexible manufacturing has enabled companies to 24 produce, cost-effectively, small quantities of goods. This type of manufacturing has greatly increased the number of new products introduced annually in the United States. However, frequent introductions of new products have two problematic side effects. For one, they reduce the average lifetime of products; more of them are neither at the beginning of their life (when prediction is difficult) or at the end of their life (when keeping inventory is expensive because the products will soon become obsolete). For another, as new products proliferate, demand is divided among a growing number of stock-keeping units (SKU’s). Even though manufacturers and retailers can forecast aggregate demand with some certainty, forecasting accurately how that demand will be distributed among the many SKU’s they sell is difficult.  For example, a company may be able to estimate accurately the aggregate number of shoes it will sell, but it may be uncertain about which specific types of shoes will sell more than other types.
Q35: D
Which of the following most accurately describes the function of the last sentence in the passage (lines 35-40)?
A.    To cite a situation in which the aggregate demand is more important than the distribution of demand among SKU’s
B.    To refute an assertion about the side effects of flexible manufacturing
C.    To illustrate an assertion about companies’ ability to forecast demand
D.    To provide an example of ways in which companies address the difficulties of forecasting demand
E.    To note an exception to the author’s assertion about distributing demand among SKU’s
----------------------------------------------------------------
Q36: E
The passage suggests which of the following about divided demand among a growing number of SKU’s?
A.    It has increased the average lifetime of products.
B.    It has resulted from retailer’s attempts to predict demand more accurately and avoid both understocks and overstocks.
C.    It has decreased the use of flexible manufacturing by companies.
D.    It has not increased the expense of keeping inventory of certain products.
E.    It has not prevented companies from predicting aggregate demand with some certainty.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Q37:TTGWD-6  D
According to the passage, which of the following has led to growth in the number of new products introduced in the United States each year?
A.    Reduced average lifetime of products
B.    Increased ability to forecast aggregate demand
C.    More cost-effective ways of keeping inventory for products
D.    Cost-effective production of small quantities of goods
E.    Increased ability to divide demand among a number of SKU’s and to forecast how that demand will be distributed among those SKU’s
