问题     If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as【C1】______ to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Labour is simply another factor of production to be hired or【C2】______at the lowest possible cost— much【C3】______one buys raw materials or equipment.
    The lack of importance【C4】______o human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second【C5】______command. The【C6】______of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who【C7】______it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to【C8】______to Chief Executive Officer (CEO).【C9】______, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central—usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm’ s 【C10】______.
    As a【C11】______, problems【C12】______when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn【C13】______to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is【C14】______in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for【C15】______ retraining【C16】______costs and creates bottlenecks that【C17】______the speed with【C18】______new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological【C19】______. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population【C20】______the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can’ t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.
【C6】
选项 A、responsibility
B、personality
C、importance
D、post
答案D
解析 考查名词辨析。空格处所在句子表语为“a specialized job”，因此可以推知，空格处所在句意为：人力资源管理的负责人的“职位”(而非“责任”、“个性”、“重要性”、)通常被认为是一个专业化的工作。因此答案为D．post“职位，职务”。
