问题 Although measuring the productivity of outside consultants is a complex endeavor, Company K, which relies heavily on consultants for long-term projects, must find ways to assess the performance of these workers. The risks to a company that does not review the productivity of its human resources are simply too great. Last year, Company L was forced into receivership after its productivity declined for the third straight quarter. The bolded phrases play which of the following roles in the argument above?

选项 A、The first phrase states the author’s conclusion, and the second phrase refutes that conclusion.
B、The first phrase states an assumption of the argument, and the second phrase provides evidence to undermine that position.
C、The first phrase states one of the author’s premises, and the second phrase provides the argument’s conclusion.
D、The first phrase states a position, and the second phrase refutes that position.
E、The first phrase states the conclusion, and the second phrase supports the conclusion with an analogy.

答案E

解析 本题中,我们重点关注的是黑体部分在整个论证中所起的作用,而此类题目的关键是找到整个论证的结论。很明显,第一个句子的后半部分(即黑体第一部分)为整个论证的结论,也就是说,论证的结论是:“K公司必须找到评估这些咨询者的绩效的方法”。第二句话仅仅重述了第一句话,而第三句话通过一个类似情景(K公司的情形与L公司的情形的比较)支持了论证的结论。所以,(E)为正确答案。
