参考答案C
解析:
定位:根据题干中的Capital Economics定位到第五段后半部分:As economists at Capital Economics.a consultancy,argue,“The more general malaise started back in the autumn of last year.Indeed.core orders have now fallen iII every month since last october.”
详解:推理判断题。定位部分指出,正如咨询机构“资本经济学”的经济学家们所提出的那样,“自从去年秋季开始,更加普遍的不安情绪就出现了。实际上,自从去年十月份开始,核心订单每个月都在下滑。”与本段前几句提到的经济下滑的数据相比,时间上更早一些,故答案为C.。A.“耐用品订单的确会受到恶劣天气的影响”,本段第四句确实提到了坏天气,但也只是一种猜测,故排除;B.“耐用品订单的减少是疾病传播引起的”,该选项将malaise的意思错误地理解为“疾病”,而在文中是指“心理和局势上的不安”,故B.不符合文意,可以排除;D.“新数据可能没有解释这些行业的现实”,分析家的话只是在数据的基础上强调经济并非复苏,并没有推翻数据的意思,故排除。
