GRE官方题库原题134

The following appeared in a memo from a vice president of a large, highly diversified company.

"Ten years ago our company had two new office buildings constructed as regional headquarters for two regions. The buildings were erected by different construction companies—Alpha and Zeta. Although the two buildings had identical floor plans, the building constructed by Zeta cost 30 percent more to build. However, that building's expenses for maintenance last year were only half those of Alpha's. In addition, the energy consumption of the Zeta building has been lower than that of the Alpha building every year since its construction. Given these data, plus the fact that Zeta has a stable workforce with little employee turnover, we recommend using Zeta rather than Alpha for our new building project, even though Alpha's bid promises lower construction costs."

Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

题目翻译

10年以前我们公司在两个不同地区拥有两座地方办公建筑。它们由两家建筑公司--Alpha和Zeta分别建造。尽管两座建筑的平面布局基本相同，由Zeta所建造的建筑造价高出了30%，但去年的维护费用是由Alpha建的楼的50%。而且，Z大楼建成以来的能耗每年都比Alpha大楼要少。这些数据，再加上Z公司拥有稳定的员工队伍且雇员流动性很小的事实，表明我们应该使用Z建筑公司而不是A公司来建造未来的建筑工程，尽管A的标书承诺造价会更低。

题目分析

1. 维护费用更低不一定与Z公司的建造有关。首先去年的数据不一定能够代表整体情况;其次，即使维护费用确实低，也可能和办公人数、使用楼内设施的强度、意外灾害等有关，所以维护费用不一定是因为建造过程有区别。

2. 平行地，Z公司建造的楼的能耗低未必和建造过程有关。因为有其他因素决定着能耗多少，比如办公设施的使用、高功率电器的使用、办公人数等等。所以能耗低可能由上述原因引起，未必和建造有关。

3. 平行地，Z公司拥有更稳定的员工团队这一点不能说明它的建造质量更好。因为首先，作者没有与A公司做比较，所以我们不清楚Z公司的团队到底有多稳定。其次，即使比A公司稳定很多，这个特点也未必对建造过程有益。比如过于稳定的团队思想比较僵化，未必比有新鲜血液的团队那样思想活跃。

4. 即使作者之前的分析都正确，这个建议也有严重的负面影响。因为Z公司的方案造价高出许多，所以如果我们的经济条件不允许我们采纳他们的方案，那我们就可能不会选择Z公司的方案。
