Misery may love company, but this was ridiculous. More than
a million IBM stockholders last week took a nightmare ride on a
stock they had long trusted. IBM had been sliding all year recent【S1】______
hitting 10-year lows, but after the company announced last Tuesday
that it would, among other things, slash another 25,000 jobs, the
stock took a historic rise. In 48 hours, it lost 11 points, or almost【S2】______
18 percent of its value, closing Wednesday at 51. On Friday it hit
other new low. Big Board officials camped out on the exchange floor【S3】______
to prevent chaotic, land brokers fielded frantic calls from investors【S4】______
in various stages of disbelief and agony. " They’re screaming and
hollering," said Carol Komskis of York Securities. They are
saying, "Things like this just don’t happen in America. "
Stock prices that rise and fall are anything new; that’s what【S5】______
makes a market. But Big Blue had always epitomized the blue-chip
stock on that Americans could count to send the kids to college or【S6】______
help retire in the style. Some investors may be in blissful【S7】______
ignorant; pension funds across the country are heavily invested in【S8】______
IBM.(The New York State Employee Pension Funds lonely hold【S9】______
3. 6 million shares.)But the charm of stocks like IBM, General
Motors and Westinghouse was that you could feel secure in buying
them even you did not know " earnings". Such stock made【S10】______
generations of Americans faithful capitalists. "This was the kind of
stock that created wealth for a lot of people in this country. " Says
Jonathan Pond, a Boston-based financial counselor and author.
【S2】
选项
答案
rise—dive
解析
语义错误。该处意思是“在IBM宣布裁员25 000人后,股票出现了历史性的大跌”。因为裁员预示着经营不善,因此股价会下跌,而不是上升。take a dive是固定搭配,表示“急剧下降”。
