The economy of the United States after 1952 was the economy of a well-fed, almost fully employed people. Despite occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom. An economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was valued at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War II. The country’s business spent about 30 billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day, or about twenty-five million dollars every hour, all around the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the boom. To some observers this was an ominous (不祥 的, 恶兆的) echo of the mid-1920’s. As farmers’ share of their products declined, marketing costs rose. But there were, among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority. Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last long and would eventually lead to the opposite—depression.
The passage states that income available for spending in the U. S. was greater in 1955 than in 1950 by______.
选项
A、90%
B、33%
C、50%
D、60%
答案
B
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问文章指出美国1955年比1950年的可用于支出的收入高出多少。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章的第七句话中找到相关内容。这句话指出,1955年的可用于支出的收入比1950年几乎高出1/3。由此,我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是B“高出33%”。
