解答 ABC
54 A 推断题.根据文章第三段making him the world's third richest man可知Laksmi Mittal是世界上排名第三的富人,其他三人在他之后,故这四人中他最富.故选A.
55 B 细节题.根据文章though surprisingly perhaps none from China excluding Hong Kong可知中国大陆无人进入富豪榜前60名,但香港有人进入,故B项陈述是错误的.
56 C 推断题.根据文章第三段among them is JK Rowling,author of the Harry Potter novels ranked 620th with a fortune of 519 million dollars.可知JK罗琳主要是因为她写的小说《哈利•波特》而位居排行榜第620位,故可断定她写的书一定很畅销.
