问题     China’s venture capital party may be about to get quiet. This year, for the first time, Chinese start-ups raised more cash than their Silicon Valley counterparts, notching up $56 billion in six months. But the excitement may be cooling as the year ends, thanks to tougher regulation and a slowing economy. A shakeout could easily follow.
    It has been a blowout 2018. For the first half of the year, a study released this week by the data provider Preqin and Insead business school suggests that China beat the $42 billion raised in the United States by some way. That’ s largely thanks to a huge funding round for Alibaba’ s financial affiliate, Ant Financial, as well as some other chunky efforts. But it’ s a high-water mark regardless. As is, perhaps, SoftBank’ s mooted move to place a team in China to help spend its giant Vision Fund, after years of investing remotely.
    The coming months look less exuberant. The likes of SoftBank and Singapore’ s Temasek still have plenty of money to plow into splashy names like the news and video-sharing app ByteDance. Others are less enthusiastic, if figures for China-focused venture funds are anything to go by. In the 11 months to mid-November, around 70 such funds raised just over $15 billion, Preqin estimates; that compares to $40 billion or so raised by 330 funds in all of 2016.
    All of this suggests increased nerves. The vast majority of Chinese unicorns that listed this year, including the takeaways-to-taxis app Meituan Dianping and the smartphone-maker Xiaomi, are now underwater. Just a small fraction of those $1 billion-plus companies, including video-streaming companies Huya, Bilibili and iQiyi, have risen above their initial public offering prices. Rocky starts like that of the Alibaba-backed parenting site Babytree, which debuted last month at a valuation below its last funding round, won’ t help.
    What most of this year’s debutantes have in common is that they bet on local consumers, one way or another. But those shoppers look more fretful. Changes to rules on education, fintech and gaming have only added to the strain. Weaker companies may fall by the wayside.
It is implied in Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 that________.
选项 A、The low public offering prices give rise to the stagnation of China’ venture capital
B、Many companies break through the dilemma by financing
C、The economy of Singapore is still in boom
D、The venture capital in 2016 is relatively prosperous
答案D
解析 推断题。根据题干关键词定位到第四、五段。第五段第二、三句指出，今年上市的独角兽企业绝大多数股票低于发行价，只有一小部分企业的估价高于发行价，该部分只是陈述了事实情况，并未表明股票发行价同风险投资的关系，故排除A项；第五段最后一句指出阿里巴巴支持的育儿网站“宝宝树”上个月上市筹集到的资金低于其上市前的最后一轮融资，起到的作用微乎其微，B项属于过度推断，故排除；第四段第二句指出软银和新加坡淡马锡等公司仍有大量资金可投资，C项属于过度推断，故排除；根据第四段最后一句给出的数据可推知2016年风险投资相对繁荣。故本题选D。
