What was the volume of British exports to China in 2017? [br]
The mind-boggling scale of the inaugural China International Import Expo in October, attended by 160,000 buyers from more than 80,000 companies, is evidence of the demand of economic cooperation between China and the UK. Within just six days, the hundreds of British firms at the fair together secured 2 billion pounds, about $2.55 billion, of commercial deals, which is over 10 percent of the $22.31 billion of British exports to China in 2017.
The US three-year treasury note yield surpassed its five-year note on Monday. The inverted yield curve caught investors’ attention because historical statistics showed that when short-term yields trade above longer-term rates, a recession could follow.
选项
A、Because it is uncommon throughout history.
B、Because it can be a sign of impending slump.
C、Because longer-term rates are more important than short-term yields.
D、Because they have to adjust their investment plans to the curve.
答案
B
解析
语义因果关系的判断。根据原文“because historical statistics showed that when short-term yields trade above longer-term rates, a recession could follow”可知,投资者关注该现象的原因是历史数据显示,在短期债券收益率高于长期后会出现经济衰退。选项B表述,这种现象可能标志着经济萧条即将到来,与原文相符。因此,本题答案为选项B。抓住表示因果关系的指示词,建立语义联系。准确理解原文中的动词表述“follow”与选项中形容词“impending”的内涵之间的关联。
