【详解】考查虚拟语气。

句意：要不是公众的及时投资，我们的公司不会像现在这样兴旺。

根据“would not”判断此处表示与过去事实相反的假设，虚拟条件句省略if可以采用倒装形式替代，If it had been for =Had it not been for表示“要不是”，故B项正确。

【点睛】本题的解题关键是根据“would not”判断此处表示与过去事实相反的假设，虚拟条件句省略if从句表示与过去事实相反的假设时，谓语动词形式为had done，如果省略if，则操作词had倒装，If it had been for =Had it not been for表示“要不是”。

三、阅读理解
20. A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color1 , deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.
The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.”
She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.
It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn’t understand what was going on.
She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said: “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but —where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her.
When Jennifer woke up, something was different... she wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas (睡衣).
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.”
63. The writer describes the beautiful sunset to show Jennifer’s ______.
A. love of the natural beauty

D. The feeling of being warm in her favorite sweater.
65. Her father d idn’t take care of the garden because ______.
A. he was busy looking for her
B. he had to look after his wife
C. he was not strict with his job
D. he no longer enjoyed working in the garden
66. What can we infer from this passage?
A. In fact Jennifer’s mo ther had been sick for several days.
B. When she found the garden deserted, she realized she was wrong.
C. As Jennifer walked towards home, she became increasingly scared.
D. Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was the safest for her.

21. Many of us use them several times a day without really noticing. And yet the way we behave in lifts, or elevators as they are known in the US, reveals a hidden anxiety.
Passengers seem to know instinctively(本能地) how to arrange themselves in an elevator, like the dots on a die. With each additional passenger, the bodies shift, going into the open spaces.
On your own, you can do whatever you want—it’s your own little box. If there are two of you, you take different corners, creating the greatest distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a square, with someone in every corner, a fifth person is probable going to have to stand in the middle.
Why are we so awkward in lifts?
“You don’t have enough space,” says Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators, so it’s a very unusual setting. It’s unnatural.”
But perhaps there is more to it than just social awkwardness.
“In the back of our minds we are a little anxious,” says Nick White, an officer in New York who was unfortunate enough to be trapped in a lift for 41 hours. “We don’t like to be locked into a place. We want to get out of the elevator as soon as possible, you know, it’s a frightening place to be.”
During his terrible experience, he began to think of another enclosed space—a tomb.
Dr. Lee Gray agrees that a sense of powerlessness is the main cause of lift anxiety.
“You’re in a machine that’s moving, over which you have no control. You cannot see the elevator engine, you don’t know how it’s working.” he says.
66. Which of the following best shows how passengers arrange themselves in lifts?
67. Professor Babette Renneberg believes people feel uneasy in lifts because _________.
A. they can’t move themselves
B. they cannot talk with one another
C. they are afraid of accidents
D. they have to stay too close together
68. Which of the following is true of Nick White?
A. He had been kept in a tomb for some time.
B. He was trapped in a lift for 41 hours.
C. He discussed lift anxiety with Dr. Lee Gray.
D. He was a scientist studying people’s lift behaviors.
69. The last paragraph best explains _________.
A. hidden anxiety
B. lift anxiety
C. sense of disempowerment
D. social awkwardness
70. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. People’s behavior in lifts.
B. Accidents in lifts.
C. The function of lifts.
D. Differences between lifts and elevators.
