[Petra]

A significant number of complex repair jobs carried out by Ace Repairs have to be reworked under the company’s warranty. The reworked jobs are invariably satisfactory. When initial repairs are inadequate, therefore, it is not because the mechanics lack competence; rather, there is clearly a level of focused concentration that complex repairs require that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs.

The argument above assumes which of the following?

A. There is no systematic difference in membership between the group of mechanics who do first-time jobs and the group of those who do rework jobs.
B. There is no company that successfully competes with Ace Repairs for complex repair jobs.
C. Ace Repairs’ warranty is good on first-time jobs but does not cover rework jobs.
D. Ace Repairs does not in any way penalize mechanics who have worked on complex repair jobs that later had to be reworked.
E. There is no category of repair jobs in which Ace Repairs invariably carries out first-time jobs satisfactorily.

Ans: A

What is the relationship between invariable statisfaction and mechanics membership. Does (A) mean that clients usually ask the same mechanics, who are more reliable for them, to do rework jobs?

[micht]

Conclusion:
it is not because the mechanics lack competence

(A)There is no systematic difference in membership between the group of mechanics who do first-time jobs and the group of those who do rework jobs.


題目說如果"initial repairs are inadequate"=>決不是因為mechanics 個人的問題

那一定是assume(A) 即使是第一次do rework的mechanics 他們和其他mechanics沒兩樣

it is not because the mechanics lack competence

(A)There is no systematic difference in membership between the group of mechanics who do first-time jobs and the group of those who do rework jobs.

那D為何不對?
因為若是做第二次會被處罰那不就表示有他因?
所以不就也要排除這個他因嗎?

Ans: A

此題問Assumption 因此要知道為何Ace repairs會提出上面藍色字的話

(D)說 Ace repairs不會penalize 那些have worked complex repair jobs隻後又要重新reworked的workers (這個答案感覺像是再講rework之後 Ace repairs會如何如何..)

題目是要問假設喔 假設為何Ace Repair持有上面的觀點
Ace Repair, rework不事mechanics個人專業能力不足 而是concentration問題

[davidlee0222]

ㄣ~
D是有點無關的反向陳述
若把not拿掉會變weaken
但本題是問假設

他們假設沒有第一線跟第二線人員的差別
就像急診室幾乎都是實習醫師一樣
若假設沒差
但事實上有差
就會出現文中狀況
因此是A

D牠們假設沒有處罰
講嚴格一點算無法推論
因為就像實習醫師經驗本來就不夠
就算處罰也沒用
還是可能醫死人..

幫推一下,這一句意思我看得懂,不過若要分析句子結構還真覺得怪怪的
大衛兄...請出來講解一下難句吧!!呵呵...

ps.這個標題錯很久了,應該是GWD,不是WC...請版主幫忙改一下囉!!

推推推~~~
不太了解這藍色句子的意思耶~~
可否請哪位大大幫忙解釋一下!!!

[Jung]

I think that sentence can change to this form and this way makes the sentence more clear

rather, there is clearly that complex repairs require a level of focused concentration that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs.

[wangdaven]

這題我也是第一次做完傻眼, 又是沒單字搞不懂題意,
隨便亂選了個答案, 事後又是想了好久,
想請各位高手給個意見, 不知道能不能這樣解:

"在Ace Repairs許多複雜的修理都要二次施工, 並且總是讓人滿意,
當第一次施工不完善時, 不是因為技師的能力不足,
而是因複雜修理所需的專注力, 比較能被二次施工引發, 而不是第一次施工"

文章說第二次的施工比較好, 但又不是因為技師的技術不足,
(A)選項是假定這兩組人是一樣好, 而不是第二次的技師比第一次的技師好,
只是因為第二次的修理比較能激發專注力,
所以這題有考到比較基準的問題嗎?
因為如果這個基準不在同一點上, 那麼文章的推論就無法成立,
變成是人員的差異造成修理結果不同, 而非修理過程中的專注力被激發的問題,
還請大家不吝賜教囉~

[evelight]

To wangdaven:

這題的確是考比較基準
ETS很愛考這個
個人覺得GWD 3-32是經典題
可參考以下討論
http://www.formosamba.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=211


另外assumption題的精神是:
『如果assumption不成立，題目的結論即無法成立』

答題時可用這個道理來檢驗選項
加個not會導致結論不成立→正確答案
加個not結論照樣成立→錯誤答案

請教一下，藍色的句子是什麼意思，我看不太懂，可以分析一下藍色句子的結構嗎？

我覺得結構是這樣的:
there is clearly a level of focused concentration (that complex repairs require) that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs

複雜修理工作需要一定程度的集中專注力, 才可以引出比第一次修理更可靠的結果

意思是說, 第一次修理失敗, 所以第二次的修理人員就會更加集中注意力來做修理工作, 這和題目說的: 和修理人員工藝沒有關係

[stilalala]

答案是a沒有問題

但我想請教一下

E. There is no category of repair jobs in which Ace Repairs invariably carries out first-time jobs satisfactorily.

要怎翻譯呢

沒有第一次做就讓人滿意的分類(項目)??

好詭異阿
麻煩各位大大幫個忙
謝謝

there is clearly a level of focused concentration (that complex repairs require) (that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs)
兩個that都是引出關代子句, 且都指代level，中間省略and
第一個that是受格，第二個that是主格
