问题 What measure is mentioned in the news? [br]  
Heavy rains and strong winds are battering parts of Jamaica as Hurricane Sandy approaches. Schools and airports have been closed, and a curfew is in place in cities to keep people off the streets. Meteorologists have expected between 25 and 50 centimeters of rain to fall. They predict Hurricane Sandy will reach Haiti, Dominican Republic and Cuba. Yvonne Nelson is a shelter manager in Kingston, Jamaica. She described the preparations underway.
Google had intended to release its earnings report after the close of trading, but the report was put out early by mistake. It showed that Google’s earnings fell by around 20% in the third-quarter when compared to the same period a year ago, to just over $2bn. Google’s share price immediately began to fall until trading was halted. Analysts said that the cost related to the acquisition of Motorola and the strong dollar had contributed to the fall in earnings.

选项 A、$2bn
B、$2.2bn
C、$2.5bn

答案 C

解析 这则新闻是讲Google因为差错提前发布了它的收益报告表。其中显示Google第三个季度的收益只下降到二十亿美元多,与去年同期相比下降了20%左右,由此可知去年同期Google的收益为超过$2bn×(1+20%)=$2.4bn,也即是接近$2.5bn。
