问题     If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work force 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. Labor 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】________to human resource management can be seen in the corporation hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second【C5】________command. The 【C6】________of head of human resource managements 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 Stated. 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 本填空考查名词,并且此名词处于主语的位置,本填空所在句子又是一个主系表结构,即“主语是什么”的概念,所以关键线索是定位原文的表语信息:a specialized job,off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy,提到了corporate hierarchy(公司的等级制度),如果再对比分析本填空所在句子与前一句,前一句中的原文线索the chief financial officer与The ________of head of human resource managements是明显的对应成分,the chief financial officer(首席财务官)是一个职位、职务,那么本填空也应该对应一个职位或职务,所以四个名词选项中只有D项post(职位,职务)最为合适。
