问题 Behavior economists have come to believe that a (i)________of choices can be paralyzing, at Schwartsz pointed out in the recent book The paradox of Choice. Studies of retirement plans show that the more investment choices a plan offers, the less likely people are to participate in it. It may follow then, that a lack of flexibility in certain plans may actually be a (ii)________. People reasonably (iii)________some advantages in exchange for peace of mind.
Blank (i)        Blank (ii)     Blank (iii)
A. surfeit       D. virtue      G. foresee
B. reduction     E. conundrum   H. forestall
C. stabilization F. revelation  I. forgo

选项

答案A,D,I

解析 第二句完整:对退休计划的研究发现,一个计划提供的investment choices越多,人们越不喜欢参加。再看第一句,行为经济学家认为选项的什么特点可能会令人困惑(paralyzing)。一、二句之间没有其他逻辑词,因此是同义顺承关系,都表达“选择多,人们不喜欢”。因此空格(i)表达more choices的含义,A项surfeit最符合。空格(ii)表示某些计划缺少灵活性(a lack of flexibility in certain plans)实际上是怎样的,前面说选择越多,人们越不愿意参加,所以这里缺少灵活性当然应该是一个好事。选择D,表示“优点”。最后看末句。人们愿意去怎样一些优势来换取内心的平静(in exchange for peace of mind),结合前文所说的内容,选择越多,人们越不愿意参与,所以空格(iii)要体现出人们愿意放弃一些优势,换取内心的平静,所以选择I项forgo。空格(iii)容易错选G项foresee。注意空格后面有in exchange for,相当于in return,怎样一些优点来换取安宁。预见优点和预先阻止优点都体现了“预先”的含义,而文中并无信息表示预先看到优点,而是舍弃一些优点或者好处,来换取安宁。
