以下是引用我爱欧洲在2005-6-5 0:26:00的发言:208. It can be inferred from the passage that the author considers labor disruptions to be
(A) an inevitable problem in a weak national economy
(B) a positive sign of employee concern about a company
(C) a predictor of employee reactions to a company’s offer to sell shares to them
(D) a phenomenon found more often in state-owned industries than in private companies
(E) a deterrence to high performance levels in an industry E的选项是正确的,D为什么错了?OG的解释是文中没有提到labor disruption的频率问题,但文中出现了disappear和common,难道British Ports当时不是state-owned industries ?  
我认为,
1、虽然在文章中有:At Associated British Ports, labor disruptions common in the 1970's and early 1980's have now virtually disappeared. 但这里只是说明了这一家的情况。
2、不能以偏概全地认为整个国有企业都如此。
3、文章中也没有对与国有企业相对立的私人企业的labor disruption 的frequency进行概括性论述。否则也可能对D选项的正误发生影响。 我们不妨设想一下,如果在文章中的其他地方有论述提及”私人企业的这种频率较低”,那D就可能为正确选项了。 再考虑一下,ETS会如何通过文章或出题来设置不同难度呢?在写文章时,ETS很可能会先设置出某个例子,然后再用晦涩表达说明这个例子具有私人企业或国有企业的代表性;在设置问题时,则问其对立面的情况如何。这样,利用上述设置把“归纳”和“取非”两个方面纠缠在一起来进行考察,增加思维的难度。所以我想,看OG应该看出ETS的一些意图来才好。即便不是ETS的本意,也是很好的思维锻炼,有备无患。
因此,OG的解释是有道理的,而且非常到位,以简单的表述对应了以上3重意思:the passage makes no generalization about the frequence of labor disruption throughout either state-owned or private companies.
