问题 The growth assessment was downgraded by______percent in the second quarter of the year.
  
(9)Last week, the Department of Commerce downgraded its growth assessment for the second quarter this year, from 2. 4 percent to 1. 6 percent. Amid ongoing fears of a so-called "double dip" recession, the news was seen as another indication that recovery may have stalled, and it was accompanied by other news about slumping home sales. Unemployment has been stuck at a stubborn 9.5 percent,(10)with hundreds of thousands of Americans struggling in the category of the long-term unemployment—those unable to find jobs for six months or more.

选项 A、at least half a month
B、at least half a year
C、at least one month
D、at least one year

答案B

解析 本题设题点在时间信息处。根据句(10)可知,数以百万的美国人被划分在长期失业的范畴内,即至少六个月内无法找到工作,故答案为[B]。
