呵呵，可能各个版本的答案不一样吧，我这个版本的答案是E，但我选了D，第二段确实是在讲影响第一段那个规律的限制因素啊。

 ...

 

嗯！我这个版本的资料里，关于23题的参考答案是 E，可是我倾向于认为 D 才是正确答案。因为 D 选项说：

 

D. To qualify an assertion made in the preceding sentence (lines 6-16) about how top management decision-making affects the likelihood that firms will adhere to their strategic plans

 

第二段开头的 However，是一个明确的转折。这句话 qualify 了前面的 assertion，其中的 qualify 有“使（言辞，声明）不过于绝对；修正；使有所保留”的意思。

另外，搭车问个问题

 

Q24:

The passage cites all of the following as differences between firms using build strategies and firms using harvest strategies EXCEPT

             

1. their willingness to sacrifice short-term profits in order to build market share
2. their willingness to sacrifice building market share in order to increase short-term profitability
3. the number of strategic options available to their managers
4. the relative importance they assign to maximizing cash-flow
5. how likely they are to employ decision-sharing in developing strategic plans

答案是E，但我觉得没答案

 

文中提到：

At one end of the strategic mission continuum, “build” strategies are pursued when a firm desires to increase its market share and is willing to sacrifice short-term profits to do so. At the other end, “harvest” strategies are used when a firm is willing to sacrifice marked share for short-term profitability and cash-flow maximization. 

 

能被 sacrifice 掉的，重要性肯定不高嘛！选项 D 的内容在文中有对应的部分，所以 D 不是正确选项，E 才是。
