正确答案：D
事实细节题。。由第三段第三句可知，欧盟统计署自1993年开始公布欧盟所有国家以及欧盟外三个国家(美国、日本、土耳其)的失业率。故[D]“欧盟统计署公布所有欧盟国家失业率”与文意一致。[A]“三月份美国失业率与欧盟国家平均失业率持平”，这与第三段第一句“美国失业率与最早加入欧盟的15个国家的平均失业率持平”的内容不符，故排除；[B]“四月份美国失业率一定高于最初加入欧盟的15个成员国的平均水平”，这与第三段第三句“但看起来美国失业率有可能自1993年欧盟统计署开始公布有关数据以来首次高出欧盟15国的平均水平”不一致，故排除；[C]“美国男性失业率略高于女性”，这句话与第四段第二句“美国男性失业率为9．5％，而女性失业率仅为7．5％”相悖，故排除。
