【答案解析】[听力原文]
Share prices in Europe and the United States have fallen sharply in the face of persistent worries about the Greek economy. The main index in New York fell more than 2%. London and Frankfurt closed down more than 2.5%, and Paris fell more than 3.5%.
The 110 billion euro bailout for Greece announced over the weekend hasn't settled the nerves of European financial markets. The concern is that other countries will also find themselves unable to borrow in the normal way and will then have to look for support from fellow eurozone countries. Portugal and Spain seem to be particularly vulnerable. And the Spanish Prime Minister Rodríguez Zapatero was forced to dismiss rumours that his country's preparing a request for support. Even the New York share market, which often shrugs off events outside the US, has picked up the growing anxieties in Europe.
信息辨认题。本题为数字题，听音时应注意捕捉数字信息并做相应笔记。根据新闻首段内容可知，纽约和巴黎的主要股指下跌分别超过2%和3.5%，因此答案为A。
