Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was named Person of the Year by Time magazine on Wednesday,【C1】______him a helping hand as he tries to ward off【C2】______that might weaken the Fed’s independence.
The selection puts the mild-mannered Bernanke, a former professor, in the company of U. S. President Barack Obama, Pope John Paul II and Russian President Vladimir Putin, among other【C3】______world figures the magazine has picked in past years.
The Senate is considering Bernanke’s【C4】______to a second term to head the Fed—the U. S. central bank—and while he is expected to win【C5】______, criticism of the Fed among the public and members of Congress is at its highest in decades.
The Fed worries that congressional second-guessing of its policy【C6】______would compromise its fiercely-guarded independence.
One poll by Rasmussen Reports showed public support for Bernanke’s nomination at a scant 21 percent, with 41 percent【C7】______opposition, but he continues to enjoy support on Wall Street and among many lawmakers.
" Ben is the person that【C8】______us from going over the edge of the danger and into the abyss(深渊)," said former Fed Governor Lyle Gramley, now a senior economic adviser at Soleil Securities.
But Republican Senator Jim Bunning, one of the Fed’s sharpest critics, said Time’s pick was a reward for "failure".
"Many of the problems our markets are facing right now could have been【C9】______had Chairman Bernanke not been asleep at the switch(玩忽职守,错过机会)," Bunning said in a statement.
Time credited the 56-year-old Bernanke with【C10】______leadership that helped set the U. S. economy on a path to recovery even as he and other policy makers remain concerned about a high unemployment rate of 10 percent.
A)avoided I)nomination
B)confirmation J)policies
C)creative K)prominent
D)cute L)promotion
E)decisions M)proposals
F)denied N)putting
G)giving O)stating
H)kept
【C3】
选项
答案
K
解析
名词短语world figures前缺少一个形容词。联系上下文可知,除伯南克外,美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马、教皇约翰·保罗二世以及俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京也都当选了《时代》年度人物。众所周知,这些人在世界上都是很优秀、很杰出的,故prominent“杰出的”为本题答案。cute通常指“聪明的,伶俐的”,但不能全面地表达这些人物的特点,故排除。
