问题     The European Union reached a preliminary deal to curb banker’s compensation that would drastically limit the account that can be paid in bonuses. Britain resisted the move to cap the ratio between bankers’ fixed and variable pay. In a nod to opposition from the City of London the new rules treat long-term incentives linked to equities and bonds more favourably. The deal has to be agreed on by finance ministries next week.
    The Royal Bank of Scotland, which is still majority owned by the British taxpayer five years after a government bail-out, reported an annual pre-tax loss of ￡ 5. 2 billion, mostly because of an accounting quirk connected to the value of its own debts.
    RBS’s loss was put in the shade, however, when Bankia later posted a net loss for 2012 of ￡ 19 billion. The Spanish government owns just under half the bank, but that is expected soon to rise to 70%.
    A report by McKinsey underlined the impact of the financial crisis on annual cross-border capital flows, which fell by 60% from 2007 to $ 4. 6 trillion last year. The study says that financial globalisation has "stalled" and that markets have reached an "inflection point" that could lead to a "Balkanised" structure based on local, rather than global, banking systems.
    Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, nominated Haruhiko Kuroda to become the next governor of the Bank of Japan. Mr Kuroda is the current head of the Asian Development Bank and had been a vocal critic of the BOJ. Mr Abe has turned the central bank’s record into a political issue, urging it to do more to help "the real economy".
    India’s government unveiled the country’s most important budget in years, as it seeks to boost output while controlling inflation. Growth has cooled rapidly to around 5% . The official forecast says that the economy will expand by up to 6. 6% in 2013—2014, but the opposition is quick to point out that the estimate for this year was overly optimistic.
McKinsey’s report has______.
选项 A、emphasized the influence of financial crisis
B、stressed the importance of financial globalisation
C、shown the effect exerted by the "inflection point"
D、highlighted the impact of "Balkanised" structure
答案A
解析 根据大写的McKinsey可以定位到第四段。选项[A]对应该段首句：A report byMcKinsey underlined the impact of the financial crisis…而选项[A]说：McKinsey’s report has em—phasized the influence of financial crisis．其中underline=emphasize；impact=influence。故选项[A]和原文是同义替换。选项[B]对应该段第二行：原文提及financial gloablisation这一词，但并未提到该选项中的stress the importance，故选项[B]是错误的。选项[C]关键词是inflectionpoint，在该段的第三行我们可以找到这个词，但原文还是未提到它的影响。故选项[C]也是错误的。选项[D]中的关键词“Balkanised”structure非常容易定位。该题的[B][C]和[D]三个选项都提及原文涉及的三个不同概念的词，但是均未提及它们的影响，该项中的impact一词是无中生有。故我们可以再次确认[B]、[C]和[D]都不是答案，答案为选项[A]。
