单选题 By "the pendulum is swinging too far", Ian Perry probably means

A、 the number of houses sold by each agent is the lowest in history.
B、 the house market is bound to suffer because of the high interest rates.
C、 both Mr. King and the media worried too much over the price falls.
D、 the Bank and the media are helping push the house prices further down.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】这是一道句意题。根据引号句的上文，即五、六段可知，Ian指责Mervyn King的不当言论以及媒体误导性的报道只会导致房价进一步下滑，下文第八段更是指出，银行货币委员会上周的行情预测又出笼了，这必然对房市不利，这正是段七所谓的“我们现在的担心”，故答案为D。A说"in history”绝对了，B项说房市必定下滑是由于利率太高，不符文章内容；C中"worried"一词不对，不符文章内容。
