With employer-paid training, workers have the potential to become more productive not only in their present employment but also in any number of jobs with different employers. To increase the productivity of their workforce, many firms are planning to maintain or even increase their investments in worker training. But some training experts object that if a trained worker is hired away by another firm, the employer that paid for the training has merely subsidized a competitor. They note that such hiring has been on the rise in recent years.

Which of the following would, if true, contribute most to defeating the training experts’ objection to the firms’ strategy?

通过雇主支付的培训，工人不仅仅可以在当前的工作中生产力更高，而且在其他雇主安排的各项工作中都会提高生产力。为了增加劳动生产率，很多公司都计划在员工培训上去维持甚至是增加投资。但是一些培训专家反对说，如果一个被培训过的员工被另一家公司所雇佣，那么支付培训的雇主仅仅是在资助另一个竞争者。他们表示，类似这样的雇佣在近几年越来越多。

解析：这道题需要我们找出能够反驳这些专家的objection

A. Firms that promise opportunities for advancement to their employees get, on average, somewhat larger numbers of job applications from untrained workers than do firms that make no such promise.

该选项多出一个条件——公司允诺员工升职，文章讨论的问题是雇主应不应该出钱让员工培训，与升职无关，因此可以排除该选项。

B. In many industries, employees who take continuing-education courses are more competitive in the job market.

在任何行业，员工参与持续学习都会更有竞争力，文中说的是顾问出资的员工培训是否必要，因此该选项的内容也是属于无关信息，可以排除。

C. More and more educational and training institutions are offering reduced tuition fees to firms that subsidize worker training.

越来越教育和培训机构给那些资助工人培训的公司进行培训费的减免，上文并未提到教育培训机构，属于无关信息，因此排除。

D. Research shows that workers whose training is wholly or partially subsidized by their employer tend to get at least as much training as do workers who pay for all their own training.

研究表明，那些培训费用全部或部分由公司资助的员工所接受的的培训和那些自己出钱的员工所获的的一样，这和培训专家的反对内容无关，因此可以排除。

E. For most firms that invest in training their employees, the value added by that investment in employees who stay exceeds the value lost through other employees’ leaving to work for other companies.

对于大部分为员工培训投资的公司，那些留下来的员工所带来的价值大于超过了那些离开公司的人所带走的价值，这说明雇主投资员工培训是有价值的，因此反驳了上述专业的objection，该选项为正确答案。
