问题     New York and London may rule the roost，  but other financial hubs in America and Europe have managed to carve out useful specialist niches for themselves．Chicago，for instance，has consolidated its position as the world’derivatives center，and Houston，the largest city in Texas，is home to Amenca’s biggest energy firms and has spawned an active cluster of energy traders and hedge funds．
    Europe has also developed a diverse set of financial centers ranging from big cities to island havens such as Jersey and to niche markets such as Luxembourg and Dublin．Edinburg，an established banking center，is now touting itself as a low-cost alternative for financial operations．Among the larger hubs，Frankfurt is an important center for banking and derivatives trading through Eurex，a German—Swiss exchange，with significantly lower costs than London．
    Switzerland’s twin financial centers，Geneva and Zurich，have done well in their specialists of private banking，wealth management and insurance．The main attractions are low taxes，political stability and a reputation for discretion．Urs Roth from the Swiss Bankers Association says，however，that given its tiny domestic market，Switzerland has had to fight for open markets on an international scale．
    Paris has long lagged far behind London，dogged by a reputation for excessive regulation and high taxes．The new government is aware that some of France’s best financial brains have crossed the Channel for more lucrative careers in London．Yet Paris has many advantages：a 1arge number of international banks；more international companies than Frankfurt；and easy access to regulators．It has the largest market in Europe for trading in mutual funds．Few would dispute that Paris offers an attractive quality of life and has good transport links．What makes Paris a place to watch just now is the NYSE’s recent merger with Euronext．The combined group will base its international equities business in the French capital．Euronext，which operates exchanges in five European countries，also illustrates the importance of a common language．
    Financial executives around the world increasingly view Europe as a single market．Soon a new European rule called MiFID(Markets in Financial Instrument Directive)is due to be implemented．It aims to increase competition among and transparency within financial markets．Financiers in other parts of the world are wondering how to achieve a similar degree of cross—border financial integration．
The last paragraph implies that____________．
选项 A、financiers have long ago viewed the Europe as a single market
B、Europe has the highest degree of cross-border financial integration
C、the MiFID will make financial markets around the world more competitive
D、the MiFID will increase transparency within American financial mark
答案C
解析 推断题。题干大意为：最后一段暗示什么?从最后一段大意可知：世界各地的金融高管越来越把欧洲视为一个单一市场。不久，一项名为MiFID(金融工具市场指令)的新欧洲法规将被实施。它旨在增加金融市场之间的竞争和透明度。世界其他地区的金融家正在思考，如何实现类似程度的跨境金融一体化。由此推断C项符合题意。故本题选C。
