The domestic economy in the United States expanded in a remarkably vigorous and steady fashion. The revival in consumer confidence was reflected in the higher proportion of incomes spent for goods and services and the marked increase in consumer willingness to take on installment debt. A parallel strengthening in business psychology was manifested in a stepped-up rate of plant and equipment spending and a gradual pickup in expenses for inventory. Confidence in the economy was also reflected in the strength of the stock market and in the stability of the bond market. For the year as a whole, consumer and business sentiment benefited from the ease in East-West tensions.
The bases of the business expansion were to be found mainly in the stimulative monetary and fiscal policies that had been pursued. Moreover, the restoration of sounder liquidity positions and tighter management control of production efficiency had also helped lay the groundwork for a strong expansion. In addition, the economic policy moves made by the President had served to renew optimism on the business outlook while boosting hopes that inflation would be brought under more effective control. Finally, of course, the economy was able to grow as vigorously as it did because sufficient leeway(余地)existed in terms of idle men and machines.
The United States balance of payments(国际收支差额)deficit declined sharply. Nevertheless, by any other test, the deficit remained very large. While the overall trade performance proved disappointing, there are still good reasons for expecting the delayed impact of devaluation to produce in time a significant strengthening in our trade picture. Given the size of the Japanese component of our trade deficit, however, the outcome will depend importantly on the extent of the corrective measures undertaken by Japan.
The underlying task of public policy for the year ahead — and indeed for the longer run — remained a familiar one: to strike the right balance between encouraging healthy economic growth and avoiding inflationary pressures. With the economy showing sustained and vigorous growth, and with the currency crisis highlighting the need to improve our competitive posture internationally, the emphasis seemed to be shifting to the problem of inflation. The Phase Three program of wage and price restraint can contribute to reducing inflation.
The author’s attitude toward the decline of the U. S. balance of payments deficit can be summarized as______.
选项
A、depressed
B、optimistic
C、objective
D、impartial
答案
C
解析
根据题干信号词the decline of the U.S.balance of payments deficit可回文定位到第三段首句The UnitedStates balance of payments deficit declined sharply(美国国际收支差额方面的赤字急剧下降),但作者态度在此句并未体现,故需要继续在下文寻找,并锁定接下来的第二、三句为本题目“题眼”:Nevertheless,by any other test,thedeficit remained very large.While the overall trade performance proved disappointing,thereare still good reasons for expecting the delayed impact of devaluation to produce in time asignificant strengthening in our trade picture(然而。根据其他标准,赤字依然庞大。虽然总体的贸易表现令人失望。但仍然有充分的理由可以指望美元贬值所产生的后续影响能够及时对贸易前景产生强有力的促进作用)。鉴于作者态度题的解题思路是关注回文定位信息中的主观感受性表达,故考生要注意本段前三句的下列评价性措辞:decline(积极)与large(消极)构成对比关系(Nevertheless“然而”),disappointing(消极)与significant strengthening(积极)构成对比关系(While“尽管”),故作者对问题的评价是“辩证性”的,即“客观的”,C项正确。
