问题     The business cycle is composed of many phases and one of them is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity.
    During the recovery period there is an ever-growing expansion of existing equipment. And new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of serious kinds are made. There is an ever increasingly positive view about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or "heavy" industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required.
    As more parts of the economy develop, other parts are affected. For example, the expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are activated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials. This increases the amount of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity develops among the various parts of the population.
    This prosperity period may continue to rise without an obvious end. However, a time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops going upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase.
Which of the following does NOT happen in economic recovery?

选项 A、The expansion of existing facilities.
B、The creation of new business.
C、The disappearance of old business.
D、The increase of optimism about the future of economy.

答案C

解析 事实细节题。本题询问下面哪一项不是发生在经济复苏阶段的。根据文章第二段第三句话的后半部分可知经济复苏阶段时原有的生意开始扩张,而不是消失,所以选项C不符合文意,故符合此题题意的正确答案为选项C。此题可用排除法。文章第二段主要是讲经济复苏阶段时的情况。根据文章第二段第一句话可知选项A(原有的设备得到扩充)符合文意。根据该段第三句话前半部分可知选项B(新的行业涌现出来)符合文意。 根据本段第五句话可知选项D(对经济发展未来趋势的态度起来越乐观)也符合文意。故此三项都是发生在经济复苏阶段时的情况,不符合题目要求故不选。
