推斷題。題干問的是從第一段中可以推斷人們過去非常珍視什么？第一段開頭作者就介紹了 It used to be that people were proud to work for the same company for the whole of their working lives. 句中的used to be可以幫助我們定位, 接下來作者還談及為即將退休的員工頒發(fā)金表，以表彰對工作的忠誠, 所以說人們過去非常看重對企業(yè)的忠誠。故選C選項。

- 分析下列論證中存在的缺陷與漏洞，選擇若干要點(diǎn)，對該論證的有效性進(jìn)行分析和評述。 豐盛煙草公司開發(fā)了一種新產(chǎn)品——公益香煙。這種香煙的一端有一個探頭，點(diǎn)燃后外側(cè)不冒煙，吸煙者最終將煙全部吸入自己體內(nèi)，不會造成別人被動吸煙。因而，特別適合于公共場所或者各種會議期間使用。該公司通過調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)近期各種會議和公共場所吸煙者比例在不斷上升。“公益香煙”的發(fā)明恰好滿足了市場需求，而且在煙草生產(chǎn)技術(shù)上有重大突破，使尼古丁含量大大降低，售價僅比一般香煙高20%，如果將該煙的市場定位于25歲以上受過良好教育的文雅吸煙者，那么，隨著時間的推移，一定會有越來越多的人適應(yīng)并喜歡該煙的口味。因此，公司決策者認(rèn)為，“公益香煙”的市場需求強(qiáng)勁，最終會成為香煙行業(yè)的主導(dǎo)品牌，為公司帶來豐厚的利潤。
