A
The success story started in northern Italy towards the end of the Second World War. Leone Benetton had a bicycle rental(租赁)business in the town of Treviso. He wanted his oldest son Lu- ciano to study and become a doctor. After Leone died, the family was poor and Luciano decided to leave school and get a job. He found work in a clothing store but soon had his own ideas and star-ted a family clothing company producing colourful woollen sweaters for people only used to wearing dull colours. Shops selling only Benetton sweaters opened in many Italian cities and by 1974 therewere stores in France, Gemany and Belgium.
It was clear that at this stage the success of the Benetton business lay in the strength of the family. In 1975 Luciano married the 20-year-old Marina Salomon who worked in one of his shops. Af-ter careful research, Benetton opened his first shop in the USA, in Manhattan, New York, where it attracted some very special customers including Princess Diana and Jackie Onassis. In 1982 Lucianowas introduced to Oliviero Toscani, the photographer who was to change the image(形象) of Be- netton forever.
Although Benetton was growing very quickly, they needed an international image and for thisreason in the early l980s they decided to provide money for Formula l motor-racing. This was fol-lowed by the advertising campaigns(广告攻势) for which the company became famous.
Luciano Benetton succeeded in turning the company he started in the l950s into one of the world" s most successful businesses but he paid a high personal price. He spent so much of his life working and travelling that he lost touch with his family and friends.
56. What did Luciano Benetton" s father hope he would do?
[ A] Sell clothes.
[ B ] Build a factory.
[ C ] Learn medicine.
[ D] Run a bicycle business.请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!
参考答案
正确答案:C
第三部分:阅读理解:参考译文A这个财富故事开始于二战快结束时意大利北部的一个小镇。LenoeBenetton在Treviso镇上经营着自行车租赁的生意。他希望长子露西阿诺能够去深造当一名医生。Lenoe去世后,这个家庭开始衰弱,露西阿诺决定不再继续上学而找了份工作。他在一家服装店里工作,不久有了一些想法,然后就自己开了一个家族类的服装公司,为曾经只穿灰暗颜色衣服的人们制作了色彩艳丽的羊绒衫。贝纳通独家经销商店很快遍;布了意大利的许多城市,到了1974年,这样的商店开始出现在法国、德国和比利时。显然这个阶段的成功主要依赖于贝纳通家族的实力。1975年,露西阿诺和20岁的MarinaSalomon结婚了,她当时就在他的一家子公司里工作。经过仔细地考察,贝纳通在纽约的曼哈顿开了在美国的第一家店,吸引了许多特别的消费者,像戴安娜王妃和JackieOnassis。1982年,露西阿诺被介绍给了名叫OlivieroToscani的摄影师,他给Benetton塑造了一个永恒的形象。尽管贝纳通经营规模不断扩大,他仍然需要一个国际化的形象,因此在20世纪80年代初,贝纳通决定投资赞助Fl车赛。因为这样的广告攻势,他的公司便一举成名了。露西阿诺·贝纳通成功地将他在50年代创立的公司转变成了世界知名企业之一。为此,他也付出了很大的代价。他的大半生的时间都在工作和出差,因此和许多亲戚朋友都失去了联系。56.C【精析】细节题。题干意为“露西阿诺·贝纳通的父亲希望他成、为什么?”根据文章第一段中第三句话“HewantedhisoldestsonLucianotostudyandbecomeadoctor”可知,父亲希望他成为一名医生,因此C选项“学习医药”为正确答案。
