问题     Before investing in common stocks, one should be aware of both their advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is their high potential return on the【S1】______amount invested. The average price of all stocks sold on the major stock【S2】______can be expected to rise considerably over an【S3】______period of time; common stocks offer an【S4】______hedge(防御措施)against long-term inflation. Additionally, there are tax advantages to invest in common stocks. The income on the capital gain of a common stock held for more than a year is taxed at a much lower rate than ordinary income. The big disadvantage of common stocks is the great risk of price【S5】______that must be accepted in return for the chance to realize large gains. Both individual stocks and the market in general【S6】______to sudden and steep price falling. These are difficult for the small investors to【S7】______. Another disadvantage is during periods of high inflation the attractiveness of other forms of investment, such as time【S8】______, mortgages(抵押), and bonds, reduce buyer interest in common stocks, resulting in price decrease. Thus, during these times the value of common stocks as a hedge against inflation is reduced. Often, too, the current rate of return on common stocks is much lower than the return on the other less risky forms of investment. Although these disadvantages cannot be【S9】______, they should not blind investors to the advantages of the【S10】______chosen common stocks.

A)cautiously               F)decline                        K)territory
B)extraordinary            G)attractive                     L)plentifully
C)deposits                 H)exchanges                      M)deficiency
D)anticipate               I)original                       N)extensive
E)incline                  J)ignored                        O)demonstrate
【S8】
选项
答案C
解析 名词辨义题。根据句意，空格处缺少名词，和mortgages，bonds等稳妥的投资方法意思相近，与股票这种高风险、高回报的投资途径相对，存在对比。因此C) deposits“存款，押金”符合题意。time deposits 为固定搭配，意为“定期存款”。
