As a large corporation in a small country, Hachnut wants its managers to have international experience, so each year it sponsors management education abroad for its management trainees. Hachnut has found, however, that the attrition rate of graduates from this program is very high, with many of them leaving Hachnut to join competing firms soon after completing the program. Hachnut does use performance during the program as a criterion in deciding among candidates for management positions, but both this function and the goal of providing international experience could be achieved in other ways. Therefore, if the attrition problem cannot be successfully addressed, Hachnut should discontinue the sponsorship program.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
The first describes a practice that the argument seeks to justify; the second states a judgment that is used in support of a justification for that practice.
The first describes a practice that the argument seeks to explain; the second presents part of the argument's explanation of that practice.
The first introduces a practice that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides grounds for holding that the practice cannot achieve its objective.
The first introduces a policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides grounds for holding that the policy is not needed.
The first introduces a consideration supporting a policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides evidence for concluding that the policy should be abandoned.
情景:略
推理:第一个黑体字给出了一个方案,这个方案的好坏在后续的文段中被评估了。第二个黑体字则是告诉我们第一个黑体字所提及的方案是可以被其它方式来代替的。
选题方式:略
选项分析:
A选项:第一个黑体字描述了一个论证试图去证明的方案;第二个黑体字描述了一个用来支持那方案的证明的判断。第一个黑体字描述的方案是论证不支持的。
B选项:第一个黑体字描述了一个论证试图去解释的方案;第二个黑体字给出了一部分论证对于这个方案的解释。第一个黑体字描述的方案是论证不支持的。
C选项:第一个黑体字描述了一个论证试图去评估的方案;第二个黑体字认为这个方案不能达成它的目的。第二个黑体字并不是说现有方案不能达成目标,而是说有替代方案可以备选。
D选项:Correct. 第一个黑体字描述了一个论证试图去评估的方案;第二个黑体认为这个方案是不需要的。
E选项:第一个黑体字给出了一个对论证试图去评估的方针的支持;第二个黑体字提出了这个方案应该被废除的证据。第一个黑体字本身就是一个方案,不是对方案的支持。
原文:Hachnut wants its managers to have international experience#说明目标是int'l exp,目标达到了#
C)The first introduces a practice that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides grounds for holding that the practice cannot achieve its objective.#能达到目标
D)The first introduces a policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second provides grounds for holding that the policy is not needed.#not needed 因为有alternatives
#纠结时搞清楚选项的差异#
黑脸题抓关键字:
A to justify, X
B to explain, X
C achieve its objective, X
E supporting a policy, X; provide evidence, X
justify => prove to be correct
我理解的objectif是Hachnut wants its managers to have international experience,既然manager都跑了,就说明这个practice无法达成这个目标。。
c the practice (sponsor aboard for mng trainee) cannot achieve its objective (provide international exp) 原文只说other ways to achieve this goal
but both this function and the goal of providing international experience could be achieved in other ways. 这个方案及其目标是可以被其它方案来代替的。
所以C【第二个黑体字认为这个方案不能达成它的目的】是错的
脑子懵了,没看明白第二个黑脸什么意思。提供国际经历的项目的作用和目标都可以通过其他方式达到。A中的justify指的是证明。。。是正确的,正当的,但是作者没有,第一个黑脸是在评估,关注定语部分
整个argument在评估一个proposal-
第一个黑体:present 了这个proposal 的具体内容:出钱送经理去海外进修
第二个黑体:这个proposal的功能和目标能通过其他途径实现-> 这个方案不是必不可少的
attrition rate 是离职率?
could be achieved in other way 可以用其他方法实现
C 不能达成目标 不对
justify 证明……正确
没有搞清楚justify和evaluate的区别
搞错了,应该是第二个黑体字并不是说现有方案不能达成目标,而是说有替代方案可以备选。
Hachnut has found, however, that the attrition rate of graduates from this program is very high, with many of them leaving Hachnut to join competing firms soon after completing the program. 这个方案没有实现所以不选d选c
请问cannot achieve 和 no need 的具体差别怎么理解?
Not needed vs. not achievable....
对啦
