61.[B]。细节题。对应的信息位于文中第二段第一句....the Success of the Benetton business lay in the strength of the family(Benetton的成功源于其家庭)，其中的lie in隐含的意思就是题目中的play an important role in(在…中起重要作用)，故选[B]。

62.[A]。细节题。对应的信息位于最后一段第一句中the company he started in the l950s一处，此处明确指出该公司创立于20世纪50年代，故选[A]。注意，he started in the l950s是一个省略了连接词that/ which的定语从句，修饰其前的the company。

63.[D]。分析推理题。推断的依据是短文第三段，其中第一句指出....for this reason in the early 1980s thev decided to provide money for Formula l motor racing(为此，在20世纪80年代早期他们决定投资 赞助Fl车赛)，而后一句则说....the advertising campaigns for which the company became famous(接下来的广告攻势令公司一举成名)，所以令公司举世闻名的原因就是赞助车赛和广告。对照四个选项可知，本题 应选结合了这两者的[D]项。

64.[B]。分析推理题。本题问的是Benetton早期的产品与其他厂商的不同之处。文章第一段倒数第二句指出....producing colorful woolen sweaters for people only used to wearing dull colors(为那些过去只穿暗色衣服的人们制作出色彩鲜艳的针织套衫)，这说明其主要的特色在于颜色鲜艳，故本题答案为[B]。事实上，其余三项在文中都没有相应的比较内容或者甚至没有提及：material指“布料，面料”，size指“尺寸，大小”，price指“价格”。
