参考答案和解析
正确答案：
B
解析：
录音中提到今年会展中有很多关于参展商和参加者稀疏的牢骚，人数从2000年的20万降到了5万，接着录音中对Comdex曾经的繁华和衰落的原因进行了描述。因此选项B符合录音内容。
【录音原文】
This year the mood at the show was unusually gloomy. There was much muttering about the sparsity of both exhibitors and attendees, whose numbers fell to around 50,000 this year from around 200, 000 in 2000. Veterans grumbled that a once-sprawling show that used to take five full days to absorb could now be covered in an hour or two. Once the biggest annual show in Las Vegas, Comdex has lately been eclipsed by the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which earlier this year attracted around 120, 000 visitors. This mirrors the shift in the technology industry’s centre of gravity, away from PCs towards sexier consumer-electronics devices—such as mobile phones, games consoles, digital-video recorders and flat-panel TVs.
