Zimbabwe’ s inflation rate has increased sharply in the past three months and is now at 11.2 million percent, the highest in the world, according to the country’s central statistical office. Official figures dated Monday show inflation has increased from the rate of 2.2 million percent recorded in May, despite the government’s price controls. The country’s finance minister believed the new figure in an interview but said the rising inflation rate was not confined in Zimbabwe alone. In February, the price of a loaf of bread in the country was less than 200, 000 in Zimbabwe dollars. On Monday, that same loaf of bread cost 1.6 trillion Zimbabwe dollars. Analysts have said that this Zimbabwean government official inflation rate figures are conservative. Last week, one of Zimbabwe’s leading banks, Kingdom Bank, said the country’s inflation rate was now more than 20 million percent. The locally-owned bank predicted tougher times ahead for Zimbabwe in the absence of donor support in falling investment in an economy that has been in free fall for almost a decade.
   5. Which of the following is mentioned as the government’s measure to control inflation?
   6. According to Kingdom Bank, what is the current inflation rate in Zimbabwe?
   7. What will Zimbabwe experience according to the locally-owned bank’ s predication?

选项 A、Foreign investment.
B、Donor support.
C、Price control.
D、Bank prediction.

答案 C

解析 细节推理题。由Official figures dated Monday show inflation has increased from the rate of 2.2 million percent recorded in May,despite the government’s price controls.可知,周一官方更新的数据显示,即使政府已经采取了价格控制的措施,通货膨胀率已经突破了五月份所记录的百分之二百二十万。也就是说,政府应对通货膨胀的措施是控制价格,故选C。
