考题讲解

情景：在像非洲等的新兴经济中，大型外资银行（殖民时代已建立）有很大的影响力。这些银行只会服务于富一些的客户。但是这些国家的经济要求一些小型行业（如制造业，农业和服务业）也需要被扶植。所以，如果持有这些行业股份的当地银行可以运营起来，经济就可以增长，因为_____。

推理：我们顺着题干中的逻辑找一个可以解释“经济可以增长”的原因。而题干中给的前提是“持有这些行业股份的当地银行可以运营起来”，那么再细化一些就是，我们要找的是“小型企业崛起和经济增长的关系”。


选项分析：

A选项：当地银行不会像外资银行那样为多元化投资而努力：如果不会的话，当地银行就不太可能愿意资助小型企业了。

B选项：正确。如果小型的农业和制造业可以拿到足够的资金，就可以为经济增长做贡献：直接解释了小型企业崛起和经济增长的关系——正相关。

C选项：在当地雇员和咨询下，大型外资银行可以把它们的业务拓宽到不那么富有的客户上：我们要解释的是小型企业崛起和经济增长的关系，和大型企业无关。

D选项：一些小企业属于大型外资银行的客户：无关。

E选项：当地银行比外资银行更不风险厌恶：与银行的风险偏好无关。
