参考解析:
是非题。选项A定位原文第一段“Investors, unnerved by inflationary pressure and the wide current account deficit, took further fright following a dispute between Donald Trump”,发生争执后,对通胀压力和庞大的经常账户赤字感到不安的投资者进一步感到恐慌,与原文相符合; 选项B定位原文第一段 “Mr. Trump imposed sanctions on two Turkish ministers and raised tariffs on imports of Turkish steel and aluminum in an attempt to press Ankara to release an American pastor”, 特朗普对两名土耳其部长实施了制裁,并提高了土耳其钢铁和铝的进口关税,试图迫使安卡拉释放一名美国牧师。原文与选项相符合; 选项C定位原文第一段 “He has repeated his opposition to high interest rates, which he has termed "the mother and father of all evil" and has argued are a cause of high inflation rather than a potential cure”, 他重申反对高利率,称其为“万恶之父”,并认为高利率是高通胀的原因,而不是潜在的解决办法。与原文相符合。故本题正确答案选D。
