问题 Passage 1The IMF believes that economic growth is picking up,sounds familiar.April is the cruelest month,breeding lilacs out of the dead land,and,in Washington,chirpy forecasts from the IMF that often prove a bit too chirpy.On April 18th the fund released its semi-annual World Economic Outlook(WEO),raising its forecast for global growth in 2017 to 3.5%.Growth forecasts for the emerging world have not changed.The IMF's global optimism is based instead on hopes of increased growth in the rich world.The fund takes a rosy view of the American economy,citing both high levels of consumer confidence and Donald Trump's plans for more government spending.In Britain the IMF now reckons GDP will grow by 2.0%in 2017,up from earlier estimates of 1.5%(issued in January)and 1.1%(last October).The IMF has also raised its forecasts for Japan and the euro area.Snipers point out that IMF forecasts have been far from perfect.Some glitches are excusable.In the spring of 1990,it predicted that Kuwait's economy would grow by 0.8%that year.It actually fell by 26%.What’s the main idea of this passage?(  )A.The economic growth is turning better.B.The world economic growth is plunging.C.The IMF’s forecasts on world economy sometimes are too optimistic.D.The economic growth of the emerging world remains the same.

选项 A.The economic growth is turning better.
B.The world economic growth is plunging.
C.The IMF’s forecasts on world economy sometimes are too optimistic.
D.The economic growth of the emerging world remains the same.

答案 C

解析 根据A选项中关键词economic growth定位至第一段,发现文中的主体并非讲的是“经济的增长”,而是“世界货币基金组织”;B选项中仍是主体错误,文中并未提及世界经济增长的放缓;D选项在文中可以定位至第二段倒数第二句话,可知主体错误。只有选项C中主体正确,并且从文章第二段chirpy forecasts from the IMF that often prove a bit too chirpy.可知内容正确。故正确答案是选项C。
