1. Of all the billionaires mentioned above, who didn’t lose in the global recession?
A. Bill Gates.
B. Warren Buffet.
C. Carlos Slim.
D. Michael Bloomberg.
答案解析:答案为D。本题为细节题。由第五段“New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, at number 17, was notable as the only top 20 member to see a net gain.”可知,排名第十七的Michael Bloomberg是唯一一位前20名富翁中获得净利“The biggest news today is that we are here and there still are billionaires” may probably means ______
A. the number of billionares in 2009 is much smaller than that in 2008
B. the number of billionares in 2009 is a bit larger than that in 2008
C. there are many billionaires in America, which is the biggest news today.
D. the biggest news is that many billionaires are at the press conference
答案解析:答案为A。本题为语义理解题。该句话出现在第三段《财富(福布斯)》杂志“The wealthy few did not escape big shocks this year, with net worth on the list of 793 billionaires -- down from 1,125 billionaires in 2008 -- plummeting to 2.4 trillion dollars from 4.4 trillion, Forbes said.”可知,发言人指出今年(2009年)有793位亿万富翁,2008年却有1,125位,因此该发言人的言外之意就是2009年的亿万富翁比2008年少了,故答案为A。C选项只是文字的表层意思,D选项与文意完全不符合,均不选。
