问题 The author’s main point is that______
With which of the following generalizations regarding management structures would the author of the passage most probably agree?

选项 A、Hierarchical management structures are the most efficient management structures possible in a modern context.
B、Firms that routinely have a high volume of business transactions find it necessary to adopt hierarchical managemnt structures.
C、Hierarchical management structures cannot be successfully implemented without modern communications and transportation.
D、Modern multinational firms with a relatively small volume of business transactions usually do not have hierarchically organized managemnt structures.
E、Companies that adopt hierarchical management structures usually do so in order to facilitate expansion into foreign trade.

答案B

解析 This question asks you to use information in the passage to choose which of several generalizations about management structures the author of the passage would be most likely to agree with. The best answer is B. In the first sentence of the second paragraph of the passage, the author lists activities that early chartered trading companies engaged in. In lines 24-27, the author goes on to state that the high volume of transactions associated with these activities apparently “necessitated hierarchical management structures.” This suggests that the author accepts the idea that hierarchical management structures are necessary for dealing with a large volume of transactions. Choices A and E make assertions about hierarchical management structures for which there is no support in the passage: the author does not suggest that hierarchical management structures are the most efficient ones possible in a modern context or that such structures are adopted to facilitate expansion into foreign trade. Choice C is incorrect because it is an assertion that the author would be likely to disagree with. Lines 24-27 of the passage indicate that early chartered trading companies did implement hierarchical management structures “before the advent of modern communications and transportation.” Choice D is incorrect because the author does not indicate that hierarchical management structures are found only in firms that have a large number of transactions.
