参考答案

正确答案：D
解析：该题问：据文章所介绍，曼哈顿是个怎样的地方?由第二段第二句中的Those who live in the West 70s，80s， and 90s—the Upper West Side,...as a cosmopolitan mixture of languages，occupations，and income levels可知，人们把曼哈顿的the Upper West Side看作a cosmopolitan mixture of languages，occupations，and income levels，并没有说：曼哈顿只是一个mixture of languages，occupations，and income levels。所以，选项B不正确。第二段第四行some say it is the origin of much of the chaos of the Democratic Party的意思是：“有人说，‘the Upper West Side’是‘the origin of much of the chaos of the Democratic Party”’，并没有说“本文认为曼哈顿是‘the origin of much of the chaos of the Democratic Party”’。所以，选项A不正确。由第三段第四行的Greenwich Village,...has become a favourite dwelling place for affluent professionals可知，曼哈顿的格林威治村成了富有的专业人员青睐的居住区。所以，选项C(曼哈顿缺少富有的专业人员)不正确。由全文最后一句中的the overwhelming skyscraper junglearound Wall Street，which is home to hundreds of financial and insurance institutions and some of the nation's largest banks，execs international power(华尔街一带的摩天大厦高耸人云，其中坐落着数以百计的金融和保险机构，还有几家全国最大的银行。这些金融机构从事的业务遍及全球)可知，华尔街一带的摩天大厦群是曼哈顿引以自豪的地区。所以，选项D应为答案。
