  A)说服银行提供长期贷款

  B)依靠他们自己的财政资源

  C)从亲戚朋友那里借大笔的钱

  D)依靠广大民众来筹款

  【解析】 D。细节题。根据题干关键词“develop new products andcreate newjobs”定位到第一段第三句,从朋友及熟人那里筹款的可能性是很小的,而银行只愿提供短期贷款,不愿提供长期贷款,所以A项和C项错误。接下来的一句提到公司要发展生产,不得不依靠广大民众,从而得出B项错误。故答案是D项。

  57.The money,which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects,is____使这些公司能够继续进行他们的项目的钱是_____。

  A) raised by the selling of shares in the companies

  B) repaid to its original owners as soon as possible

  A)通过销售本公司的股票筹集的

  B)尽快偿还给它原来的主人

  C)通过把海外的个人存款投入流通而筹集的

  D)投资到证券交易所上不同的公司

  【解析】 A。细节题。此题没有明显的关键词,但可以根据题意倒推出,问的是所需资金的来源。文章第一段倒数第二句提到:公司通过股票交易所发行本公司的股票来筹集资金,所以A项符合题意。此段最后一句“be that home and overseas”说明B项只提到一部分overseas,是不全面的。第二段第一句说明这些钱不可能尽快回到当初买股票的人手中,而是通过股票经纪人把他手中的股票卖给正准备投资的其他股东,故C也不正确。D中的different companies也与文意相反。故A项为答案。

  58. The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the government, local authorities and nationalized industries _____证券交易所让政府、地方机构和国有企业可以_____。

  A) to make certain everybody saves money

  B) to borrow as much money as they wish

  C) to raise money to finance new developments

  D) to make certain everybody lends money to them

  A)确定每个人都存钱

  B)想借多少钱都可以

  C)筹钱来投资新的发展

  D)确定每个人都借钱给他们

  【解析】C。细节题。根据题干关键词“government,local authorities and nationalized industries”定位第三段最后一句:“因此,政府、地方机构和国有企业常常需要借钱来支持重大开支,他们也需要去证券交易所。”A、B、D项都不正确,故选C项。

  59. All the essential services on which we depend are _____. 我们依赖的所有的重要服务_______。

  A) run by the Government or our local authorities

  B) in constant need of financial support

  C) unable to meet the needs of the populations

  D) financed wholly by rates and taxes

  A)是由政府和我们的地方机构经营的

  B)需要持续的财政支持

  C)不能满足人们的需要

  D)完全由利率和税收支持

  【解析】B。推理题。根据题干关键词“services”定位第三段首句“Many of the services needed both by in.dusty and by each of US are provided by the Government or by local authorities”用的是many而不是all,故A项错误。第三段第三句的前半句“require continuous spendin9”则证明8项constant need正确,后半句“requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone”说明D项wholly是错的。原文并未对C项做出任何说明。故选B项。

  60. When the savers want their money back they________当股东想要收回资金时,他们______。

  A) transfer their money to a more successful company

  B) have to borrow money from other people

  C) put their shares in the company back on the market

  A)把他们的钱转移到更成功的公司

  B)不得不去向其他人借钱

  C)把他们持有的公司股票放回市场

  D)去公司把钱要回来

  【解析】 C.推理题。根据题干关键词“savers want their money back”定位到文章第二段,可知当股东需要收回投资时,不是到公司要钱,而是把股票放回市场,通过股票经纪人把它卖掉。A、B、D项为混淆项,所以答案选C。

  A)他是个懒惰的家伙

  B)他不愿遵循自己的能量周期

  C)他不清楚自己什么时候能量低

  D)他的高峰在下午或晚上

  【解析】 D。推理题。根据文章第一段可以看出早晨起不来与一个人每天的能量周期有关。根据文章第二段中John的自言自语,以及紧接着的解释“John is at his temperature—and-energy peak in the evening”推理,如果一个人早上不能早起,这个人的能量高峰就很可能在下午或晚上。因此选项D是正确答案。

  62.Which ofthe following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?根据本文,下面哪种情形会导致家庭争端?

  D)使你全天的能量都得到控制

  【解析】 A。细节题。看懂文章最后一段的第一句:Getoffto a slow startwhich saves your energy.(早上慢慢起床可以节省能量。)紧接该句的三个句子都是慢慢起床的具体做法。因此选项A是正确答案。

  65.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
