word="divided">divided</span> <span word="into">into</span> 11 <span word="other">other</span> <span word="businesses">businesses</span>，也就是除 <span word="GE">GE</span> <span word="Capital">Capital</span>之外共有11家公司。文章第一段指出<span word="GE">GE</span> <span word="Capital">Capital</span>将被分成4家公司。因此，调整结构以后，<span word="GE">GE</span>共有15家公司。答案为<span word="D">D</span>项。　　58.第二段第二句指出<span word="Dennis">Dennis</span> <span word="Dammerman">Dammerman</span>是<span word="GE">GE</span>的副总裁，曾在<span word="Nayden">Nayden</span>之前做过<span word="GE">GE</span> <span word="Capital">Capital</span>的主席。因此，选项<span word="A">A</span>和<span word="C">C</span>都排除。第三段中，<span word="Dammerman">Dammerman</span>否认<span word="GE">GE</span>的结构调整和外界的压力有关，因此选项<span word="D">D</span>说结构调整是<span word="GE">GE</span>自己的主动性举措符合原文意思，可排除。而第二段的最后一句中明确陈述即将离开<span word="GE">GE</span>的是<span word="Nayden">Nayden</span>，故答案为<span word="B">B</span>项。　　59.根据文章第一段中的<span word="The">The</span> <span word="reorganization">reorganization</span> <span word="effectively">effectively</span> <span word="eliminates">eliminates</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span

word="chairman">chairman</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="GE">GE</span> <span word="Capital">Capital</span>.可知正确答案为<span word="A">A</span>项。　　60.第三段的最后一句<span word="This">This</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="appears">appears</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="be">be</span>，<span
