37答案应该是E。文中 “which are not directly related to production”， 注意是PRODUCTION，不是END-PRODUCT。前文指出DIRECT通常是ENDPRODUCT，但不是说INDIRECT就定义为非ENDPRODUCT。想想看，很多原材料也许很重要但不是直接相关ENDPRODUCT的，这个一样应该算DIRECT而去让SUPPLIERS进行竞争。

答案是B，但我认为是D，从全文的框架来看，supplier partnership 和bidding是两种适应于不同条件的策略，因此不具有可比性。D是L5-10的取非，符合ETS的出题思路

以下是引用blackpalms在2004-8-31 3:06:00的发言：

I think the key word in this question is the "favor" in L9. By using "favor," the author implies that it is possible to use the supplier partnership in either direct purchases or indirect purchases.

Choice D says that the partnership is not feasible in direct purchases, but if we take the word "favor" into consideration, we can see that it is indeed feasible to use supplier partnership in the case of direct purchase, companies just don't use it for whatever reasons.

同意

同意D

我感觉favor并不能推出" the author implies that it is possible to use the supplier partnership in either direct purchases or indirect purchases. "因为在原文中corporations是在with "indirect"的前提下才favor的；而在"direct"时是需要"competitive scrutiny"的，所以SP在direct时是不可行的！同意D

我也支持D, 因为B选项根本在文中找不到合适的相关信息。

而D正好是相关信息  取fei

非常有道理，佩服佩服，我想我在考场的时候恐怕读不出这层意思。

36题选B

问题主要集中在BD上，为什么说D不对呢？主要因为本文通篇讨论的是针对indirect product, 采取the supplier partnerships的战略比较好，（第2段）但是也要分情况应用，所以我认为本文的中心思想是关于indirect product，并未提及end product 的问题。所以D错。

而B第2段有原文对应的

再问，这个B选项

They can result in purchasers paying more for goods and services than they would in a competitive-bidding situation

什么意思？可以导致买方付更多的钱？？偶怎么没在原文中找到相应的意思呀？

  谢谢大家！！！

就是原文“which can inappropriately shelter suppliers from rigorous competitive scrutiny that might afford the purchaser economic leverage”想表达的意思啊：对Supplier审查（通俗一点：讨价还价）rigoruous一点就能为Corp.(purchaser)带来经济好处，然后是sheter即取反，所以没带来好外，就是买贵乐，呵呵
