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.
【C4】
选项 A、compared
B、attached
C、detached
D、entitled
答案B
解析 本题需要首先确定填空所在句子的原文意思。本填空前面的原文已知信息为：The lack of importance；之后的原文已知信息为to human resource management。根据我们对文章主题的了解很容易判断出此处要表达的意思是：人力资源管理重要性的缺失。理解了这一点，四个选项中A项compared(to)表达的是“与……相比较”，C项detached(to)表达的是“与……分离”，D项entitled(to)表达的是“有资格，有权利”，只有B项attached(to)表示的是“附属于；与……有关的”。所以答案为B项attached。
