The link between the success of a certain well-known Japanese automaker and its effective management of its suppliers, for example, has led to an unques- tioning belief within Western management circles in the value of strategic partnerships

Halley 's comet did cause such a worlwide sensation in no other historical sighting as (it did) in its return of 1910-1911
比較用法的兩大兩小原則：
第一大：比較用片語的適當性

-普通比較(more 配 than, as配as...)
-特殊比較(compared to/with , as, like/unlike...)

第二大：可比性(平行對稱)
-人比人、物比物、懶x不能比雞腿

第一小：排除自己原則
-Taipei 101 was once taller than "any other" buildings in the world.

第二小：指明要比誰(是否補出助動詞)
S....+比較用法....+O...than/as
若與主詞相比要補出助動詞。

直接细节题The experts' advice comes as a natural reaction to numerous studies conducted during the past decade that compared Japanese production and supply practices with those of the rest of the world.

However, new research concerning supplier relationships in various industries demonstrates that the widespread assumption of Western managers and business consultants that Japanese firms manage their suppliers primarily through strategic partnerships is unjustified

optimal 最佳的最优秀的

物种的单数和复数都是species这一个单词
如：
a rare species of beetle 一种稀有甲虫
There are many species of dog(s). 狗有许多种。

定位句：
1. One factor is product demand: temporary employment is favored by employers who are adapting to fluctuating demand for products while at the same time seeking to reduce overall labor costs.
2. Another factor is labor's reduced bargaining strength, which allows employers more control over the terms of employment.

background: 失业者会得到政府补助的补助金。
P:政府准备补贴那些薪水很低的工人，补充到拿到手的钱和失业救济金一样多的水平。-> C：既然不工作拿到的钱和工作拿到的钱一样多，失业的人没有经济动力去找那些薪水很低的工作了。问weaken
choice a, 政府对失业救济金不收税。irrelevant
choice b,要求最低工资的邻国的失业率比L国失业率更高。irrelevant
choice c, 在职者往往比起失业者能在下一份工作中拿到更高的薪水。correct，指出失业者和在职者两者的区别，打破类比的关系
choice d, 每年失业者从政府那里拿到的救济金比起政府定义的贫困水平要低。irrelevant
choice e, 人们有时候会去接受低薪的工作仅仅是因为喜欢这份工作. slightly strengthen , 从侧面也证明了人们接受低薪的工作并不是出于financial incentives, 而是out of interests

certain group和any given demographic group不匹配

这一题应该是fund evidence that suggests，fund evidence to suggest都可以，evidence that suggests表示证据的内容是……，fund evidence to suggest表示状态的转变，发现证据--引起显示

所有and从句没有加that的及and doing都是错的，排除A，D
B，has suggested错误，证据一直显示某事，而不是到目前为止显示或强调产生了影响；
D with……evolved错误，evolved表示被动，是大象的躯干主动进化，不是被进化

1.比较对象是this year和last year，即，两个年份
2.last year's在than的身前无法找到平行对象，
3. It is 強調(不能形容詞or動詞) that svo > E 錯
4.expect身后不能用宾语从句，而应该用不定式。

通常不用by one's doing sth这个句型，也不用by +动名词，用by doing sth或by sb
a phenomenon caused by human beings' burning of fossil fuels=a phenomenon occurring because human beings burn fossil fuels

C 如果理解成因果逻辑，错在伴随状语表示的是自然而然的因果逻辑。“小岛可以作为资源的依据”并不会自然而然地“引起国际争端”，是因为中间插入了各个国家有自己的利益诉求等因素，才使得这件事可以引发国际争端。参考“他踢了桌子一脚，因此脚疼”。

shift和change一个意思，这就重复了，所以DE不对。

by sb可以做定语，如：a play by Ibsen 易卜生写的剧本
B，no approval by regulators 是对的；it指代错误

count通常直接接名词，表示数东西，不用count the number of sth。
如：He was counting sheep/the people/the money.； I have counted 147.我数了有147只。
C，count languages，数语言

也可以用count (up) how many sth is，加总算下。Count (up) how many ticks are in each box.

As with是介词，接名词，表示正如某物一样，正如对待某物一样，如：
But as with everything, it should be eaten in moderation! 但是正如一切事情一样，应该有节制地食用它。
As with any meeting, you want to know your participants well. 与任何会议一样，您需要充分了解您的参与者。

看了下，as with连接的对象其对应物似乎通常在主句中作宾语，而不是主语，表示正如主语对待某物一样，主语对另一物如何如何

C的语意没有E好，重点不是说音乐家A made什么样的music，和B一样。而是说A的音乐如何如何，和B的音乐一样。
