问题 What is the main idea of the passage?
  
Fed Chair Janet Yellen announced Dec. 16 that the central bank would raise interest rates for the first time in almost a decade. Any further monetary tightening will be gradual and contingent on continued economic health, she explained, projecting that rates would rise 3 percentage points in three years. What should the average consumer make of all this economic commentary? Here’s who wins and loses.
International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts imply that emerging and developing countries are converging with advanced-economy living standards at less than two-thirds the pace we expected a decade ago. Some key countries are not on track to converge at all. That is at odds with the promise of globalization, which should generate faster convergence through increased connectivity, greater opportunities for technology transfer, more mobile and available capital, declining poverty and better education.

选项 A、The promise of globalization and its effects.
B、Opportunities for technology transfer.
C、Declining poverty and better education.
D、Slowing convergence of developing countries.

答案D

解析 国际货币基金组织的报告暗示,发展中国家追赶发达国家生活水平的速度比十年前预计的速度慢了三分之一,这与全球化的期许不一致。International Monetary Fund(IMF),国际货币基金组织,是根据1944年布雷顿森林会议签订的《国际货币基金协定》,于1945年在华盛顿成立的。国际货币基金组织的职责是监察货币汇率和各国贸易情况,提供技术和资金协助,确保全球金融制度运作正常。同世界银行一起,并列称为世界两大金融机构。
