89. This question asks you to decide what the passage implies, rather than states directly, about majority shareholders in a corporation. The best answer is C. According to lines 4-8 of the passage, those individual capitalists who were once majority shareholders in a corporation would not be able to make a quick profit by selling a large amount of stock because such a sale would depress the stock’s value. It can be inferred from the passage that this would be true of any majority shareholders. Choice A is not the correct answer. The passage suggests, in lines 11-13, that majority shareholders can actively influence a company’s decision-making, but it does not suggest that this influence is equal to the absolute authority suggested by the language of this answer choice. The passage also does not discuss the “operational management decisions” of corporations. Choice B is not correct. The passage does not specify what percent of a corporation’s stock any one shareholder is allowed to own. Choice D is not the correct answer. The author does not imply that majority shareholders are more interested in profits than in productivity. In fact, the author argues the opposite, stating that majority shareholders such as the old-style capitalists concentrated more on long-term productivity than on quick profits. Choice E is also incorrect. In lines 30-33, the author proposes that shareholders of more than 20 percent of a company’s stock should be required to give advance public notice before a stock sale, but the passage does not suggest that majority shareholders are currently required to do so. 看了解释还是不太明白,majority shareholders是指大多数的股东还是指持有大多数股票的股东呢?之所以有这样的疑问是看到答案解释中有这样一句话"It can be inferred from the passage that this would be true of any majority shareholders"这里的majority shareholders意为大多数的话,any majority shareholders似乎讲不通表示大多数是不是该"the majority"?似乎是很简单的语法问题,见笑见笑哈 表示大多数是不是该"the majority"?似乎是很简单的语法问题,见笑见笑哈
