The news that Unilever, one of Britain’s largest and oldest businesses, is to abandon its Anglo-Dutch structure in favour of a single holding company, based in London, is something to raise spirits.

参考译文:英国最 大、历史最悠久的企业之一——联合利华,将放弃英荷架构,选择成为一家总部设在伦敦的单一控股公司;这是一个提振士气的消息。
第三句:The decision by the maker of everything from Dove soap to Ben & Jerry’s ice cream appears, at least on the surface, to have had little to do with Brexit.

思考题解析:
According to the text, Unilever _______.
从文章可以得知,联合利华______
A. is not aware of Brexit during decision making
(在做决策时不知道英国退欧)
最后一句说和英国脱欧无关,
但并不意味着他们不知道英国脱欧。
所以A选项错误。
B. will open an office in London for the first time
(将第一次在伦敦开设办事处)
B选项错误。
C. will give a great boost to the City of London
(将对伦敦金融城起到了巨大推动作用)
对应第二句,这是一个提振士气的好消息!
我们说过will表示一种可能性哦!所以C选项正确。
D. has sold out most of its Dutch businesses
(已经出售了大部分荷兰业务)
只是说了不在荷兰设立总部了没有说出售大部分业务。
总部是不是就等于大部分业务,我们是不确定的。
所以:D选项错误。
