正确答案为选项D，但选项A 有很大迷惑性，原因是录音中确实说到了 Loss of US$3 trillion这个信息。其实，只要注意录音中的内容是losses of over US$3 trillion ,即注意到over—词，就可以确定选项A 错误。选项B 错得比较明显，因 为录音根本没有提及欧元Euro。选 项 C 错是因为选项所给的是Unprecedented depreciation,即史无前例的贬值，而录音所说的是the largest recorded drop by any major world currency in recent history，其中具体信息既有 recent history 这样完全不 同的内容又有recorded的限定。

Passage One
On June 23, 2016, citizens of the United Kingdom voted in a national referendum to leave the European Union. “Brexit，” as the event is known， has roiled global financial markets, causing widespread volatility and losses of over US$3 trillion in equity value overnight. The British pound has seen the largest recorded drop by any major world currency in recent history. Meanwhile, Brexit's shockwaves are ringing globally, notably in Asia.
For China, the United Kingdom's decision will be a disappointing move. Last fall, London became the first international financial hub to issue RMB-denom inated debt after Xi Jinping's visit there. Brexit will be a setback for the ongoing internationalization of the RMB because London's relevance as a global financial hub will be diminished as a result.
For Japan, Brexit is something of a disaster. Specifically, a bad year looks to be getting worse for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda. As the pound plummeted during the counting of results, the yen appreciated considerably, posing a challenge for the broader Abenomics agenda. For Abe, one small silver lining for B rexit may be that the ensuing global financial chaos will offer a convenient political alibi for the causes of Japan's own economic dysfunction.
In South Asia, Indian reactions to Brexit are somewhat mixed. The official reaction is cautious. With its still-impressive growth rates, India remains the one large emerging economy able to satisfy investors. With the ongoing uncertainty in global markets after Brexit, interest rates worldwide should continue to remain low, ostensibly helping India maintain momentum. The downside risk of B rexit for India is the effect it could have on major multinational corporations who operate several subsidiaries based in Britain. A UK detached from Europe could lead to depressed revenues, potentially feeding back into the Indian economy more broadly.
In Southeast Asia and Oceania, Brexit is a worrying development, likely to contribute to uncertainty and financial volatility, but it may also present opportunities. The UK exports around $15 billion to the Southeast Asian market, and a depressed pound could help savvy Southeast Asian economies seize an opportunity. Malaysia, for example, has indicated its willingness to negotiate a free trade agreement with a post-Brexit UK.

正确答案为选项C，在录音中出现的相关信息是Brexit will be a setback for the ongoing internationalization of the RMB，这句话中 setback 和 ongoing 连接使用， 与 slow down在语义上明显对应。选项A 说人民币将失去其在英国的根基，这虽然 与录音中最后because开始的解释有意义关联，但录音只是解释背景，而答题需要 直接回答所受的影响，所以不是正确答案。选项B 说人民币在国际金融市场的地位 将会下降，选项D 说人民币在疲软的欧洲货币市场不会再坚挺，这在录音内容中都 完全没有相关信息，所以都不是正确选项。

[重点难点]
抓住关键词语的意义关联，即be a setback for与 slow down的联系。

正确答案为选项C，在录音中的相关内容是第三段最巵的部分，即the ensuing global financial chaos will offer a convenient political alibi for the causes of Japan’s own economic dysfunction,意思是日本自身经济运作不良，而全球金融的失控与混乱给 其提供了一个便利的政治托词。这层意思反过来理解就是选项C 所说的内容，即人 们会把本国的经济疲软状况归因于全球金融问题。选项A 所说的日元升值表面上与 录音内容吻合，但本国货币升值在不以本国货币交易的国际贸易中并非好事，而且 与 silver lining无关，所以A 不是正确答案。选项B 与 A 意义相反，但也不能理解 为安倍所看到的“乌云中的一线希望” 。选项D 所给的是可能推测到的结果，但也 不是问题的答案。

[重点难点]
理解a convenient political alibi与问题的关系。

该题题干关键词在录音中有对应，相对不属于难题。正确选项为A，在录音 中的对应内容有两句话。第一句说出了脱欧影响了印度的跨国公司，这些跨国公司 都有数家分公司设在英国。第二句给出了具体影响，即A UK detached from Europe could lead to depressed revenues，其中的 depressed revenues 与选项所说的意思完全 一 致 （ Incomes ...could shrink 即 depressed revenues) 。选项 B, C， D 虽然据推测是可能发生的情况，但与问题本身没有直接联系，所以都不能作为问题的直接答案。

[重点难点]
理解 depressed revenues 与 incomes...could shrink 的语义对应。

问题所问的关键词opportunity与录音原话中所用的完全一致（只是单复数有变化），所以可以锁定答案在录音中it may also present opportunities之后的话里。 其中 a depressed pound could help savvy Southeast Asian economies seize an opportunity 可以理解为 depressed pound after Brexit is an opportunity for Southeast Asia。选项A 完全错误，因为录音所提到的US$15 billion是背景介绍，说的是英国 对东南亚市场的出口量，与英国支援东南亚不是一回事。选项B 是利用背景介绍中 的数字15来充当混淆项，而选项D 是利用录音中所说的马来西亚表示愿意与英国 就自由贸易问题进行交涉的例子说明东南亚的机遇，都不是正确选项。

[重点难点]
抓住opportunity与 depressed pound之间的语义关联。
