29 Speaker: Contemporary business firms need to recognize that avoiding social responsibility leads to the gradual erosion of power. This is Davis and Blomstrom’s Iron Law of Responsibility: “In the long run, those who do not use power in a manner which society considers responsible will tend to lose it.” The law’s application to human institutions certainly stands confirmed by history. Though the “long run” may require decades or even centuries in some instances, society ultimately acts to reduce power when society thinks it is not being used responsibly. Therefore, a business that wishes to retain its power as long as it can must act responsibly. Which one of the following statements, if true, most weakens the speaker’s argument? (A) Government institutions are as subject to the Iron Law of Responsibility as business institutions. (B) Public relations programs can cause society to consider an institution socially responsible even when it is not.(公共关系计划能够让社会觉得企业是具备社会责任感的,即使企业其实没有社会责任感) (C) The power of some institutions erodes more slowly than the power of others, whether they are socially responsible or not. (D) Since no institution is eternal, every business will eventually fail. (E) Some businesses that have used power in socially responsible ways have lost it.
背景:In the long run, those who do not use power in a manner which society considers responsible will tend to lose it 条件:Though the “long run” may require decades or even centuries in some instances, society thinks it is not being used responsibly 结论:Therefore, a firm should act responsibly if it wants to retain its power 推测:社会认为是有责任的,是否跟公司的价值观一样?或者有什么反例? 选E,举出反例,即使具备了社会责任,仍然是失败的 应该选B,提出了一种即使社会不进行社会工作,但是通过Public Relation也能让人觉得具备社会责任,就削弱了题目中的一定要act responsibly,E应该是迷惑项,提出act responsibly也会失败,wishing to retain的意思与retaining the power是否完全相同?想要保持权利与保持权利?
30 Which of the following most logically completes the argument? United States manufacturers currently produce most of the world's solar-power generators--most of which are exported to Europe. However, European manufacturers are emerging and probably will ultimately capture much of the European market. The United States government is funding initiatives intended to encourage use of solar power within the United States. If these initiatives succeed in increasing the demand for solar-power generators in the United States, United States manufacturers will probably maintain significant production levels, since __________. (A) some United States manufacturers have been substantially increasing their output over the last several years (B) the efficiency of solar-power generators in converting energy from the Sun into electric power is not improving as fast as it once did (C) just as European manufacturers enjoy certain competitive advantages in Europe, so do United States manufacturers in the United States (D) European governments are currently undertaking initiatives to stimulate the use of solar power within Europe (E) the current market for solar-power generators in the United States is very limited 背景:US manufacturers produce most of the world’s solar-power generators-most of which are exported to Europe 条件:US government is funding initiatives intended to encourage use of solar power within the US 结论:If these initiatives succeed in increasing the demand for solar-power generators in the US, US will maintain significant production levels 推测:the demand of US is same to the demand of Europe? 选E,现在的美国的太阳能市场比较小,如果这些激励能够成功,扩大了市场,那么manufacturers就能继续生产那么多太阳能了 选C,初始想法是“美国现在的市场小,如果美国的激励能使国人更多的使用solar power,市场大了,即使推出欧洲市场,也能保持现在的生产量”,但是题目的切入点应该是US和Europe的相似,美国海外↓(欧洲的生产商在欧洲本地有优势)+美国本土(美国生产商在美国也有优势,通过initiatives找到的)↑=美国生产持平。而且E未必是如我所想的,所以C更加好。
31 背景:The higher the level of certain vitamins and minerals in the bloodstream, the better a person’s lung function, as measured by the amount of air the person can expel in one second 条件:The lung function of smokers is worse than that of the nonsmokers. 结论:Smokers should increase their intake of vitamins and minerals 推测:Lung function is measured only by the amount of air the person can expel and only intake of vitamins and minerals can develop the lung function 选E,吸烟的人不会因为吸烟或吸收进某些阻碍身体吸收维他命和矿物质的化学物质
32 背景:Analyses revealed unprecedented traces of sulfur after the fragments’ entry 条件:The fragments did not contain sulfur but many astronomers believed that the cloud layer below Jupiter’s outer atmosphere dose contain sulfur 结论:some of the fragments were at least large enough to have passed through Jupiter’s outer atmosphere without burned up 推测: 选A 答案好像选E 33 背景:Most of the world’s supply of uranium currently comes from mines 条件:The cost of extracting uranium from seawater is greater than the price of uranium 结论:The method is unlikely to be commercially viable 推测:技术是否提升,或者提取的过程中还有副产品? 选C,与extract uranium from seawater有关 应该选A,如果陆地上面的uranium没有了,怎么都要开采seawater中的uranium了;C的话,就算技术提升了,是否技术的使用令extraction简单了,但是价钱也没有降低,仍然要开采land的。
