答案：
参考答案：A
解析：
[听力原文] I have to tell it was another down day on Wall Street, ending a down week. Earlier in the week it was the Subprime Mortgage story, now renewed concerns about inflation, consumer prices rose a little bit more than expected in February, and that has investors worded, partly because the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates while prices are on the rise. So as a result, stocks ended broadly lower today, taking a look at the Big Board at the New York Exchange, the Dow lost 49 points, the NASDAQ Composite fell 0.25%, the S&P 500 dropped more than 1/3 %. [难点] 本题难度较大，需要笔记的辅助再加上细心的读题。根据第一句中的“another down day”和“ending a down week”，可以得出选项a是正确的。选项b与“consumer prices rose a little bit more”相反，故不正确。而选项c与“the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates”相反，故也不正确。选项d与“that has investors worried”不符，故不正确。
