8、状况，照旧是形势喜人。19题，一句话包含三个空，联系在一起做。昨天开会，宣布了一系列结果。报告税前收益增长了38%，公司并没有经受它的竞争对手所暴露的问题。19题选report，20题experienced，21题，revealed by its rival，被竞争对手暴露的问题。22题，remains strong保持强劲；单看单词的意思，貌似keep也可以（不过说实话，假如不是有同学提示，我压根想不到会填keep）联系此句上下文，提到了在对手消失问题时这个公司表现依旧强劲remain在英文词典的解释是：continue to exist, especially after other si
9、milar or related people or things have ceased to exist 在相像或者相关人和事消失状况时仍旧存在，所以，remain更符合这个题目的条件23题，on track 步入正轨。公司正在实现目标的正道上。这个词在其他完型也消失过，不过不是正确答案。24题，slow down放缓，固定用法。经济放缓。25题，bring to，使总数到达51，这个题怕是要靠语感。put确定不对，get to到达，mount在这里用法不对。26题，proved to be证明是，固定用法27题，这里填入的词要和前文对比，前面说新开了12家新的俱乐部，这里的空格前有个ev
10、en和more，所以应当是填入与new相对应的词。established是已确立的（If you use established to describe something such as an organization, you mean that it is officially recognized or generally approved of because it has existed for a long time. ）28题，retention rate保存率，专出名词（Retained earnings divided by total after-tax earnings
11、, expressed as a percentage），指公司税后收益所保存的那一局部。29题，公司吸引力的证据。clear evidence明显的证据。不选sign，sign只是迹象。 中华考试网(Examw。com)30题，simply修饰too many从用法和意思上都对，在这里就是表强调的，意思是公司太多了。31题，consolidation强化、合并（To consolidate a number of small groups or firms means to make them into one large organization.），有许多的公司相互竞争，所以需要进展一个整合。这是商英里的固定说法。32题，in business在经营。是说很快这个市场上的公司会淘汰的只剩下三个。33题，理解了venture的意思就不难做出选择，在这里是指商业冒险，也是商英地道说法。公司要在西班牙进展一些投机活动，因此增加了额外的治理费用。
