问题     Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport(excluding vehicles, ships and planes)increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8% . Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building.
    Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capital personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport(including private cars)and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation(饱和)point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered.
From this passage, we learn that the people______.
选项 A、spent more money than they earned
B、saved more money than previously
C、spent their money wisely
D、invested and consumed at an accelerated pace
答案D
解析 文章第一段用不同的数字告诉我们人们在公共部门、贸易和服务行业、农业、住房建设等方面的投资都增加了。文章在第二段第一句话就提出总消费也增长了，文章在接下来也分别说明了人们各种消费的增长。所以通过这篇文章我们可以看出：人们增加了投资和消费。D项说“投资和消费的幅度加大”符合文章的意思。所以本题的正确答案为D。
