问题     One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one hank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. (46)More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon—it’s already here.
    While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. (47)Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows business- men to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. (48)At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons.
(49) Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now,
which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.

    (50) Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

选项

答案众多的其他商业企业,从剧院到杂志出版社,从燃气和电力公用设备公司到牛奶加工厂,都通过计算机的使用给消费者提供更好、更高效的服务。

解析 本句的主干是Numerous other commercial enterprises...bring better and more efficient services,其中主语和谓语之间有一个很长的补充说明成分:from theaters to magazine publishers,from gas and electric utilties to milk processors,在开始阅读的时候,可以先跳过去。
