问题 How much was the debt for the Daewood business group collapsed with in 1999?
The South Korean businessman who founded the Daewoo Industrial Group has been arrested on his return home after six years on the run. (29)Kim Woo Choong fled South Korea after his business empire collapsed with debts of more than $ 70 billion. He’s accused of fraud and embezzlement. Kim Woo Choong arrived on an early morning flight from Vietnam and was immediately arrested by prosecutors. (30) He faces an array of embezzlement and fraud charges, including the illegal diversion of $20 billion overseas. He also faces more than 40 civil suits. He was mobbed at the airport by reporters and protestors, some of whom lost millions when the Daewoo business group collapsed in 1999. Kim Woo Choong fled abroad shortly afterwards and is reported to have spent most of his time in France.

选项 A、More than $ 17 billion.
B、More than $ 17 million.
C、More than $ 70 billion.
D、More than $ 70 million.

答案C

解析 数字题。新闻中出现了两个数字70和20,单位用的都是billion。根据我们的生活经验,可以让一个商业帝国轰然倒塌的一定不只是million这样的概念了。听力中涉及数字的另外一个难点就是区分相似音的辨别,选项中出现17作为混淆项正是在考查我们的辨音能力。根据原文,我们选择的应该是C项。
