问题     Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new Jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sum needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-terra finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business is new development if they are to serve us properly, and requires more money than is raised through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals both at home and overseas.
    When the saver needs his money back he does not have to go to the company with which he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker(证券经纪人)to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.
    Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, equipment and new development, if they are to serve us properly, require more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and then too, come to the Stock Exchange.
    There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.
The Stock exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries______.
选项 A、to borrow as much money as they wish
B、to make certain everybody saves money
C、to raise money to finance new developments
D、to make certain everybody lends money to them
答案C
解析 本题为细节题。文中最后一句话提到“The Stock Exchange exists to provide achannel through which these savings can reach those who need finance．”从中可知，证券交易所提供了一个平台，将人们的存款提供给需要资金的企业。由此可得出C项正确。此外，A、B和D选项属无中生有，文中并没有提及。
