求教GWD1的corporate purchase 的一道阅读题

yizihuishi

答案是B,可是我觉得D有疑问，如果非要说D错，可不可以这么理解
   原文With “indirect” purchases (such as computers, advertising, and legal services), which are not directly related toproduction, corporations often favor “supplier partnerships”并不代表D选项，逆否命题与原命题等价，即corporation不选择SP，当purchase directly related to production,company 而不选择SP, 不代表SP 不可行

求各位NN解答哦


GWD1-Q35 to Q37:

In corporate purchasing, competitive scrutiny is typically limited to suppliers of items that are directly related to end products. With “indirect” purchases (such as computers, advertising, and legal services), which are not directly related to production, corporations often favor “supplier partnerships” (arrangements in which the purchaser forgoes the right to pursue alternative suppliers), which can inappropriately shelter suppliers from rigorous competitive scrutiny that might afford the purchaser economic leverage.There are two independent variables—availability of alternatives and ease of changing suppliers—that companies should use to evaluate the feasibility of subjecting suppliers of indirect purchases to competitive scrutiny. This can create four possible situations.

In Type 1 situations, there are many alternatives and change is relatively easy.Open pursuit of alternatives—by frequent competitive bidding, if possible—will likely yield the best results.In Type 2 situations, where there are many alternatives but change is difficult—as for providers of employee health-care benefits—it is important to continuously test the market and use the results to secure concessions from existing suppliers.Alternatives provide a credible threat to suppliers, even if the ability to switch is constrained. In Type 3 situations, there are few alternatives, but the ability to switch without difficulty creates a threat that companies can use to negotiate concessions from existing suppliers. In Type 4 situations, where there are few alternatives and change is difficult, partnerships may be unavoidable.

GWD1-Q36:

Which of the following can be inferred about supplier partnerships, as they are described in the passage?
A.They cannot be sustained unless the goods or services provided are available from a large number of suppliers.

B.They can result in purchasers paying more for goods and services than they would in a competitive-bidding situation
C.They typically are instituted at the urging of the supplier rather than the purchaser.

D.They are not feasible when the goods or services provided are directly related to the purchasers’ end products.
E.They are least appropriate when the purchasers’ ability to change suppliers is limited.

36. Which of the following can be inferred about supplier partnerships, as they are described in the passage?  ==>本题是inference的题，需要推理

B.    They can result in purchasers paying more for goods and services than they would in a competitive-bidding situation. ==>原文说情况1， competitive-bidding situation能产生最好的结果，但是没说这个最好的结果是什么；情况4，partnership is unavoidable,即partnership不可避免的产生了。那么情况一，competitive-bidding situation产生了最好的结果，而情况4 partnership不可避免，那么也就是partnership产生的结果没有情况1好，只是结果是什么我们需要推理。该选项的推理恰好说明了partnership产生了比competitive-bidding坏的结果。

D.    They are not feasible when the goods or services provided are directly related to the purchasers’ end products. ==> "directly related to the purchasers’ end products"并不是本文的讨论范围。文章第一句说 "competitive scrutiny is limited to … that are directly related to end products"：即competitive scrutiny 只适用于directly related to end products。然后就转而谈indirect了，所以partnership是否在directly related to end product的环境feasible并未讨论

时隔一个月的回复，希望能帮上忙
