Which of the following is NOT true about Paris, according to the passage? ( )

参考解析：

是非题。原文是：what makes Paris a place to watch just now is the NYSE's recent merger with Euronext.可以看出NYSE与Euronext合并使得法国备受关注，但并没有让法国成为最大的金融中心，所以A错误。B项对应原文倒数第二段的第一句话Paris has long lagged far behind London, dogged by a reputation for excessive regulation and high taxes.C项对应原文倒数第二段第三行Yet Paris has many advantages: a large number of international banks, more international companies than Frankfurt; and easy access to regulators.D项根据原文可以推出，因为巴黎是国际化的金融中心、且政政治环境稳定，所以可以推出D项正确。只有A项与原文明显不符，故答案选A。故本题正确答案选A。
