问题 　　The Japanese yen is increasing in value on foreign exchange markets; yet Japanese finance officials have supported policies aimed at limiting its rise. The appreciating value of the yen could hurt Japan’s efforts to increase inflation in the country. Some experts think rising prices could strengthen economic growth in the world’s third largest economy.
　　Japan’s money has traded at about 111 yen to one U.S. dollar in recent days. The yen’s value has increased almost nine percent on foreign exchange markets this year. That is the biggest increase among the Group of 10 industrial countries during that period. Japanese officials have said they may be willing to take additional measures to fight the rising value of the yen. The currencies of commodity-exporting countries like Australia and South Africa have dropped in value. Demand for widely traded currencies like the yen often increases when stock prices drop. That can cause the value of such currencies to rise on international markets.
What has happened to the Japanese yen?
选项 A、It heavily relies on the international stock prices.
B、It gains in value against other major currencies.
C、It promotes Japan’s economic competitiveness.
D、It drops in value on foreign exchange markets.
答案B
解析 细节题。题干：日元发生了什么变化?题干中无明显关键词，需要根据选项关键词定位原文信息，再结合排除法做出选择。本文主要讲了日元升值引起的变化。A项“它严重依赖国际股票价格”，根据A项关键词international stock prices可定位至第二段倒数第二句“Demand for widely traded currencies like the yen often increases when stock prices drop.(当股价下跌时。对日元等广泛交易货币的需求往往会增长)”，文章并没有指出日元严重依赖国际股票价格，排除A。B项“日元兑其他主要货币升值”，文章第一段就提出“The Japanese yen is increasing in value on foreign exchange markets(日元在外汇市场上不断升值)”；第二段也提到“Japan’s money has traded at about 111 yen to one U.S. dollar in recent days.(最近几天，日元汇率维持在111日元兑1美元)”。由此可知，日元兑其他主要货币升值B项符合文意。根据C项关键词economic可定位至第一段最后一句“Some experts think rising prices could strengthen economic growth in the world’s third largest economy.(一些专家认为，物价上涨可能会促进日本这个世界第三大经济体的经济增长)”，但前一句又提到“The appreciating value of the yen could hurt Japan’s efforts to increase inflation in the country(日元升值可能会妨碍日本为加剧通货膨胀而做出的努力)”，由此可知日元的升值反而会阻碍日本的经济发展。因此C项“它提高了日本的经济竞争力”错误，可排除。根据D项关键词foreign exchange markets 可定位至文章第一段首句“The Japanese yen is increasing in value on foreign exchange markets(日元在外汇市场上不断升值)”，因此D项“它在外汇市场上贬值”与文章内容相悖，故排除。故本题选B。
