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.
【C15】
选项 A、extensive
B、intensive
C、excessive
D、decisive
答案A
解析 本填空可以利用对应成分分析法来定位答案，可以定位本填空要填入的形容词是类似于More time的；根据这个分析和提示线索，四个选项中B)intensive(密集的，集中的)是指程度上的概念，而More time是一个数量上的概念，因此B)intensive并不贴切。选项D)decisive表示“果断的、决定性的”，用在此处更不合适。选项C)excessive表示“过分的、过量的”，选项A)extensive有“大量的”之意。因为More time也并没有表示出“过量的”意思，更接近“大量的”意思，所以比较之下extensive的意思更贴切于More。
