问题 A poll by Dow Jones predicted mat durable goods orders in February would
The dollar dropped against the yen Thursday in Asia as overnight U.S. data added to the gloomy outlook for the American economy. The dollar was trading at 98.98 yen mid afternoon in Tokyo, down from 100 yen late Wednesday in New York. The euro stood at US$1.5807, down from US$1.5815. On Wednesday, Washington released data showing that durable goods orders fell 1.7 percent in February, much lower than the consensus of a 0.8 percent gain polled by Dow Jones. The market is now waiting for U.S. weekly jobless claims data and final gross domestic product figures for the fourth quarter—both set for release later in the day. If the results are worse than expected, even slightly, another round of dollar-selling is like to start, said Hiroshi Yoshida, a senior dealer at Shinkin Central Bank. "The market is hungry for dollar-selling factors," he said.

选项 A、drop 1.7%.
B、increase l.7%.
C、drop 0.8%.
D、increase 0.8%.

答案 D

解析 事实细节题。新闻中提到,华盛顿公布的数据显示,耐用品订单2月份跌幅1.7%,远低于之前道琼斯调查所显示的O.8%的涨幅。从选项可知听音时应重点捕捉表示百分比的数字;从题干可知听音重点应该是Dow Jones调查所显示的变化幅度,而不是实际的变化幅度,应仔细区分。
