问题     Shop prices in June fell at the fastest【C1】______rate since at least 2006 as【C2】______fought to attract customers, the British Retail Consortium(BRC)has said. Prices were 1.8% lower in June compared with a year earlier, the BRC said. It is the biggest annual fall in prices since the BR’s【C3】______began in December 2006 and the 14th month in a【C4】______that prices have decreased.
    The price of electrical goods and clothing both fell. Prices for non-food【C5】______were 3.4% lower in June compared with a year ago, while the rise in the cost of food slowed to 0.6%—its lowest pace since the series began.
    The BRC survey does not include online retailers or costs such as energy, transport and housing, which feed into the broader official consumer price【C6】______(CPI)measure【C7】______by the Bank of England. Competition among retailers for market share is driving the record fall in prices, the BRC said. "Fierce competition among【C8】______has driven food price inflation to record low levels and with some grocers having announced plans to keep prices down,【C9】______stand to benefit for a while to come," said BRC director-general Helen Dickinson. CPI inflation fell to a four-and-a-half year low of 1.5% in May, helped by the sharpest fall in food and non-alcoholic【C10】______prices for a decade.
A)manufacturer B)experiment C)annual D)retailers
E)survey F)recession G)grocers H)inflation
I)article J)items K)beverage L)targeted
M)row N)consequence O)consumers
【C6】
选项
答案H
解析 根据后面的缩写CPI可知这里需要填一个以I开头的名词．分析句意可知这里讲的是消费者价格通货膨胀，在所给的选项中只剩inflation是以I开头的单词。它的意思是“通货膨胀”，符合句意。因此，选inflation。
