　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　The City of London has had little to celebrate in recent months amid fearsover the impact of Brexit on its future as a global financial centre.

　　参考译文：近几个月来，伦敦金融城因英国脱欧而陷入忧虑，担心其全球金融中心的地位在未来受到影响，几乎没有什么值得庆祝的事。

　　第二句：

　　The news that (同位语从句主干Unilever, one of Britain’s largest and oldest businesses,is to abandon its Anglo-Dutch structurein 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.

　　参考译文：这家生产从多芬肥皂到本·杰瑞冰淇淋等众多产品的制造商的决定，至少在表面上看，与英国脱欧没有多大关联。

　　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。
