问题     Got a pen handy? To best estimate your start-up costs, you’ll need to make a list and the more detailed the better. A smart way to start is to【C1】______everything you’ll need, from tangible goods (such as inventory, equipment and fixtures) to【C2】______services (such as remodeling, advertising and legal work). Then, start【C3】______how much you’ll need to pay for all those goods and services.
    Some of the expenses【C4】______during the start-up phase will be one-time costs, such as the fee for printing【C5】______your brochures, creating your LLC or acquiring a permit, while others will be【C6】______, such as rent, insurance or employees’ salaries. In【C7】______, it’s best to use a two-step process. First,【C8】______an estimate of one-time costs needed to get your doors open, and then develop an operating【C9】______for the first six months or even the first year of the business.
    【C10】______you’re still having trouble figuring out how much money you need, do【C11】______on other companies in your industry and region of the country. Talk to their owners about【C12】______they figured out start-up costs and ask【C13】______about expenses they forgot.

Eric Van Merkensteijn, a University of Pennsylvania business professor who left【C19】______in the late 1990s to open a restaurant in Philadelphia, offers this advice: Figure out your start-up costs, then double that number. Then double it again. Only then will you have a(n)【C20】______number, says the professor, who closed the business in 2004 and returned to campus.

选项 A、experiment
B、research
C、survey
D、questionnaire

答案B

解析 名词辨析题。前面提到“如果难以计算出所需资金”,那么另外的选择应该是了解本行业和地区的其他公司的情况。根据语法,此处应该要能与do搭配,故B)research“研究”符合句意,doresearch意为“做调查(研究)”。文中的do与A)experiment搭配,表示“做实验”;C)survey一般与make搭配;do与D)questionaire搭配,表示“做调查问卷”。
