14、units than all other businesses in GE參考答案57.文章第五段提到“the rest of G.E，had been divided into 11 other businesses”，也就是除 GE Capital之外共有11家公司。文章第一段指出GE Capital將被分成4家公司。因此，調(diào)整結(jié)構(gòu)以后，GE共有15家公司。答案為D項(xiàng)。58.第二段第二句指出Dennis Dammerman是GE的副總裁，曾在Nayden之前做過(guò)GE Capital的主席。因此，選項(xiàng)A和C都摒除。第三段中，Dammerman否認(rèn)GE的結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整和外界的壓力有關(guān)，因此選項(xiàng)D說(shuō)結(jié)
