问题     I am pleased to report that, although we had been expecting poor results for this half year because of slow growth in the world economy, the company has performed very satisfactorily. Operating profits for this first half are in fact very much in line with those for the corresponding【C1】________last year. Profits reached £ 115 million before tax, compared with £ 116. 3 million last year. Much of our success in the last months can be【C2】________to the fact that all our major construction projects remained on schedule. Particularly pleasing was the early【C3】________of a major building contract in Canada.
    The company has made good progress with the initiatives announced at the Annual General Meeting. The majority of shareholders【C4】________the Board’s decision to sell the company’s loss-making engineering division. It was the Board’s belief that the company would【C5】________most benefit by focusing its resources on the expansion of its construction activities. Negotiations with a potential buyer began in February and are now at a critical【C6】________. However, we feel that we are not as yet in a【C7】________to comment on what the outcome is likely to be.
    In June, we made a successful【C8】________for the Renishaw Construction Company of Hong Kong SAR, in order to give us greater【C9】________to markets in South East Asia. We still have sufficient resources to pursue our growth【C10】________and are at present exploring several other business opportunities which, like Renishaw Construction, would open new markets to us.
【C3】
选项 A、termination
B、ending
C、completion
D、finalizing
答案C
解析 语义衔接题。根据pleasing判断，与加拿大的a major building contract这个重要的建筑合同能够如期完成才是令人开心的事，故答案为C项。contract completion指工程按照合同文件的条款完工。termination意为“末端，终止”；ending意为“结局，结尾”；finalizing是动词，意为“把项目等最终确定下来”。
