23. Analysts pointed out that markets could fall farther but were _ the low points seen during the depths of the economic crisis.

A.anywhere near B.somewhere near C.nowhere near D.none near

题目解答

答案

答案：C

词组：nowhere near 远不及

题干 "Analysts pointed out that markets could fall farther but were _ the low points seen during the depths of the economic crisis." 中的 "but"表转折即虽然时常会下跌，但是不会赶上经济危机时期的低点。所以but后面应该填否定词，C和D均为否定，但D项 "none" 意为 "没有人"，C项 "nowhere" 和 "near" 搭配构成固定词组 "nowhere near",意为 "远不及"，故本题答案选C。

解析

题干 "Analysts pointed out that markets could fall farther but were _ the low points seen during the depths of the economic crisis." 中的 "but" 表示转折，即虽然市场可能会进一步下跌，但不会达到经济危机期间的低点。因此，but 后面应该填一个否定词。选项中，C 和 D 均为否定词，但 D 项 "none" 意为 "没有人"，不符合题意。C 项 "nowhere" 和 "near" 搭配构成固定词组 "nowhere near"，意为 "远不及"，符合题意。
