练习 1
In the beginning of the dialogue, Philip tells Susie that would eliminate Delavigne's profit margins.
In the beginning of the dialogue, Philip tells Susie that adhering to the charter would eliminate Delavigne's profit margins.
adhering to the charter: This is the best choice here. Philip says: "the margin costs alone involved in adopting this charter would kill our profits". This means that once Delavigne "adopts" or "accepts" the charter, they will have to use legitimate manufacturing sources, which will be more expensive than their current manufacturers. They would therefore stop making a profit.
researching the charter: This is incorrect. "Researching" the charter would not cost any money. Philip speaks about the research he has already done, in order to arrive at his conclusion that "adopting the charter" would be expensive.
paying the fee to join the charter agreement: This is incorrect. Philip does not mention anything about charges to be paid for signing the charter. He speaks of "margin costs", which are the costs that will come as a result of Delavigne's hiring a company listed on the OILS charter.
the margin costs of refusing to accept the charter: This is incorrect. In fact, Philip says the opposite. He is afraid that the "margin costs" which will result from Delavigne accepting the charter will damage Delavigne's profits.

练习 3
"...some of you are not up-to-date on the hiring policy"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not the policy here"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not the policy here"
"...some of you are not up-to-date on the hiring policy"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not aware of 1 the employment 2 policy here"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not aware of 1 the employment 2 policy here"
1 aware of: This is the correct choice. To be "up-to-date (on current events) is to know about or understand current events. Example: "I'm not up-to-date on the situation in the Middle East. What has happened there recently?". Similarly, an "up-to-date computer" is one which is new or current. "To be aware of a situation" and to be 'up-to-date" share a close meaning in this context.
1 in agreement with: This isn't the best choice. To "be in agreement with (someone) is to share someone's opinion, or to think the same way about something. To be 'up-to-date (on a situation)" is unrelated.
1 adhering to: This isn't the best choice. To "adhere to (a rule)" is to follow or obey it, which doesn't mean the same thing as to be "up-to-date".
2 employment: This is the right answer. "Hiring" and "employment" both refer to the practice of giving people jobs. Example: "Luna DeLune is the HR Director, and deals with hiring new employees to the company".
2 termination: This is incorrect. "Firing" refers to terminating someone's employment, perhaps due to incompetence or repeated mistakes. "Firing" and "hiring" have opposite meanings.
2 compensation: This is incorrect. "Compensation" refers to payment in a business context. This idea is unrelated to the "hiring policy" which Luna is referring to.
