W: I know that you believe central bank should normally be independent from the government, rather than a government department. Why is this?
M: Well, the main reason is what we call, in economics, the political business cycle. If the central bank mainly acts as a branch of government, then this government is inclined to increase abruptly, for instance, money supply just before elections in order to favour employment, but, of course, this has a negative effect on inflation.
W: And this happens in America, in Germany?
M: Mainly in Germany. The two most independent central banks we can think of are really Switzerland and Germany.
W: Not the Fed, the Federal Reserve?
M: The Fed, yes, but the Fed is slightly less independent, in the sense that, for instance, it doesn’t have a goal of price stability as clearly stated as the German or the Swiss central banks, for instance.
W: And examples of central banks which are influenced by the government?
M: Well, there’s Britain, for instance. France is being slowly privatised — well, made independent. Italy, contrary to what most people think, is a quite independent central bank. It’s one of the most efficient public bodies, I would say.
W: But you think the independent bank is a model for the future?
M: Yes, I would argue it is. Actually I’m working presently on something that tends to show that the independence should actually be adapted to the economic conditions in the country and outside the country, but yes, generally a more independent central bank is certainly more, well, certainly more desirable than a non-independent central bank.

C、To avoid the influence of politics on economy.
D、To prevent inflation from happening.
答案
C
解析
选项均以“To+原形动词”开头表明,本题可能考查做某事的目的或原因。对话开头女士问男士为什么认为中央银行应该独立于政府,男士回答说主要原因就是政治性经济周期(the political businesscycle),接着解释说如果中央银行成为政府机构,那么政府很可能会为了在大选前提高就业率而突然增加货币供应,从而导致通货嘭胀,由此可知,男士之所以认为中央银行应该独立于政府就是为了避免经济受政治的影响,故答案为C)。
