Business and government leaders consider the inflation rate to be an important indicator. Inflation is a period of increased【C1】______that causes rapid rises in prices. When your money buys fewer goods so that you get【C2】______for the same amount of money as before, inflation is the problem. There is a general rise【C3】______the price of goods and services. Your money buys less. Sometimes people【C4】______inflation as a time when "a dollar is not worth a dollar any more."
Inflation is a problem for all consumers. People who live on a【C5】______income are hurt the【C6】______. Retired people, for instance, cannot【C7】______on an increase in income as prices rise. Elderly people face serious problems in【C8】______their incomes to meet their needs in【C9】______of inflation. Retirement income【C10】______any fixed income usually does not rise as fast as prices. Many retired people must cut their spending to【C11】______up with rising prices. In many cases they must stop buying some necessary items, such as food and clothing.【C12】______for working people whose incomes are going up, inflation can be a problem. The【C13】______of living goes up, too. People who work must have even more money to keep up their standard of living. Just buying the things they need costs more. When incomes do not keep【C14】______with rising prices, the standard of living goes down.

【C5】
选项
A、fixed
B、eternal
C、permanent
D、variable
答案
A
解析
语义衔接题。下面举退休人员的例子对空所在句进行解释说明,其中提到Retired people…cannot…an increase in income as prices rise(当价格上涨时,退休人员…不能…工资增加),即退休人员的工资是相对固定的,由此可知,此处是说工资固定的人,故答案为[A]fixed“固定的”。第二段第五句提到的any fixed income对本题有提示作用。[B]eternal“永恒的:永久的”及[C]permanent“永久(性)的,固定的”不能用来修饰income;[D]variable“易变的:可变的”与上下文语义相反,故排除。
