[精解] 本题是一个推断题。要求考生根据文章内容推断作者的看法。正确的选项应该和文章的思想主题都符合。 A．被“前台”公司的增殖所恼怒，大集团很可能减少他们在今后一段时间内和少数民族企业的合作。错误，这个选项属于过度推断。虽然作者指出了现在的一些不足，但是作并没有得出结论说订单会减少。 B．尽管在70年代大集团对和少数民族合作表现了足够的兴趣，单是他们对政府公文的厌恶使得他们不再签订许多政府合同。 C．70年代大集团的积极响应很可能继续虚假地持续下去甚至在80年代一致保持增长。正确，注意文中提到“前台”公司的存在，很可能文中的数据不实。 D．尽管大公司很希望和少数民族企业合作，但是70年代的资金短缺使得可观的反应成为不可能。错误，文中没有提到70年代有资金短缺的现象出现。 查看试题解析出处>>
