单选题 The reason why the end of the bidding is called "knocking down" is that _________.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析]这是一道细节题。答案来源于第一段第四句 This is called“knocking down” the goods,for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table behind which he stands.(这就是“成交”,因为当拍卖结束时,拍卖者会用一个小锤子敲击他面前的小桌子。)这样我们选D,而排除其他的选项。
