The passage suggests that modern multinationals differ from early chartered trading companies in that______

选项 A、the top managers of modern multinationals own stock in their own companies rather than simply receiving a salary
B、modern multinationals depend on a system of capitalist international trade rather than on less modern trading systmes

E、the overseas operations of modern multinationals are not governed by the national interests of their home countries

答案E

解析 This question asks you to identify a difference between modern multinationals and early chartered trading companies that is mentioned in the passage. The best answer is E. Lines 36-40 of the passage state that a difference between modern multinationals and early chartered trading companies is that early chartered trading companies were governed by the interests of their home countries. Choice A is incorrect: lines 40-43 of the passage indicate that top managers in early chartered trading companies owned a substantial amount of stock in their own companies, whereas stock holdings by senior managers of modern multinationals typically are insignificant. Choice B is incorrect: lines 43-46 of the passage indicate that early chartered trading companies did depend on a system of capitalist international trade. Choice C is incorrect because the passage does not indicate that early chartered trading companies had operations in only one or two foreign counties. Choice D is incorrect because the passage does not suggest that the operations of early chartered trading companies were not profitable.
