    At the end of the passage, the author states all the following EXCEPT that ______.
    A

    B

    Danes take for granted what is given to them

    C

    the open system helps to tide the country over

    D

    orderliness has alleviated unemployment


    正确答案： A
    解析：
    是非题。最后一段最后一句提到“the orderliness of the system makes it possible for the country to weather high unemployment and social unrest without a sense of crisis”，该句中的weather意为“经受住，度过（难关）等”，由此可知丹麦的井井有条有助于这个国家更好地应对高失业率和社会动乱，并不是指井然有序减少了失业率。因此选项D表述有误。
