What is the main purpose of the talk?
Yesterday we discussed the problem of rising prices, or, in the economist’s terms, inflation. We noted that, during periods of inflation, all prices and incomes do not rise at the same rate. Some incomes rise more slowly than the cost of living, and a few do not rise at all. Other incomes rise more rapidly than the cost of living.
We concluded that persons with fixed incomes, as for example, the elderly who depend upon pensions, and persons with slow-rising incomes as, for example, an employee with a salary agreed to in a long-term contract, will be most seriously affected by inflation. Please recall that while their dollar incomes stay the same, the cost of goods and services rises, and in effect, real income decreases; that is, they are able to purchase less with the same amount of money. We also talked about the fact that stockholders and persons with business interests and investments would probably benefit most from inflation, since high prices would increase sales receipts, and profits would likely rise faster than the cost of living.
选项
A、Inflation is controlled.
B、Real income decrease.
C、Purchasing power stays the same.
D、Dollar income increases.
答案
B
解析
细节题。本题可通过留意原文录音、把握细节来解答,即使错过听音细节,我们仍可从常识判断答案。当收入增加的速度低于生活成本增加的速度时,A“通货膨胀得到控制”不符合逻辑,C“购买力维持原来的水平”,如果不变的话则没有讨论通货膨胀的意义了,D项是根据原文设胃的干扰项,只有B“实际收入减少”才符合逻辑。
