问题     Among the criticisms of the Obama administration’s bank rescue proposal is that the government will provide up to $1 trillion in financing for big private investors, like the asset manager BlackRock, to buy up banks’ bad assets. If those assets lose【C1】______afterwards, the investors do not have to repay the government loans, sticking taxpayers【C2】______potentially huge losses. If the【C3】______make money, taxpayers get only half the profit.

【C14】
选项 A、up
B、out
C、back
D、off
答案D
解析 语义衔接题。四个选项均可与pay搭配使用，但含义不同。pay up意为“付清全部欠款”，尤其指当人们不想还或付款已经晚了时的偿还；pay out意为“为某事物付巨款”；pay back意为“还(钱)给某人”；pay off意为“全部偿还；偿清”。这里说的是个人投资的前提，既然是投资，肯定是在收支有盈余的前提下才能进行，由此可推断出，他们应该是在付清了信用卡和其他高利息的债务之后。手头还有钱的情况下才投资，故答案为[D]off。根据常识可知，信用卡和债务一般都有偿还期限，且还款日期不能晚于偿还期限，并且此处的还款没涉及到想不想还，故排除强干扰项[A]up。
