问题 In the passage, the author is primarily concerned with doing which of the following? [br] The author suggests that the role of large institutions as stockholders differs from that of the “old-style capitalist” in part because large institutions______
选项 A、invest in the stock of so many companies that they cannot focus attention on the affairs of any single corporation
B、are prohibited by law from owning a majority of a corporation’s stock
C、are influenced by brokers who advise against long-term ownership of stocks
D、are able to put large amounts of stock on the market without depressing the stock’s value
E、are attracted to the stocks of corporations that demonstrate long-term gains in productivity
答案 B
解析 This question asks you to infer, from information stated in the passage, a way in which the role of large institutions as stockholders differs from that of the “old-style capitalist.” The best answer is B. According to the passage, the old-style capitalists were able to play a dominant role in the corporations in which they held stock because they owned enough stock to do so (lines 1-4). The passage also states that large institutions are legally barred from owning a majority of a company’s stock (lines 8-12). From this it can be inferred that large institutions, because their ability to own stock is limited, do not play as dominant a role in the corporations of which they are stockholders as did the old-style capitalists. Choice A is not correct. The passage does not indicate whether large institutions invest in mny companies, few companies, or even just a single company. Choice C is not the correct answer. The passage does not mention brokers or any other parties who might influence the investment choices made by large institutions. Choice D is incorrect. In lines 33-36 of the passage, the author notes that an institution’ sale of a large amount of stock would, in fact, decrease the stock’s value. Choice E is not the correct answer. The passage does not suggest any reason why large institutions are attracted to the stock of any particular corporations.
