问题 How did the attack in London affect the global financial markets?
  
As you might expect, these attacks in London have had an effect on the global financial markets. Initially the news produces steep falls on the European exchanges. Well what’s very striking is that the share markets are actually proving rather resilient. And there were these big falls on the European exchanges on Thursday, but that hasn’t been the case around the world. In East Asia for example, Tokyo’s Nikkei average is actually up just under half a percent, and that’s taking a lead from New York, where the DOW finished up 0.3% on Thursday. That is a big contrast with the European exchanges. What we are not seeing is the kind of sustained falls that we saw after the events of 9.11. So the markets are taking a much more pragmatic view this time.

选项 A、It was up 0.3%.
B、It was down 0.3%.
C、It was up 0.5%.
D、It was down 0.5%.

答案C

解析 数字判断题。Tokyo’s Nikkei average是指东京日经平均指数,尽管我们可能并不熟悉,但是新闻中出现了原词,紧接着出现了half a percent,即可确定数字是0.5%。此外要抓住后面的一句话“这与欧洲股市形成了鲜明的对照”,它对我们确定答案无疑有很大的帮助。毕竟听清是0.3%还是O.5%并不难,确定是up还是down才是回答问题的关键所在,答案应选择C项。
