A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain (1)_____ both on resources of consumers and on the motives that (2)_____ to encourage or discourage money spending.
If an (3)_____ were asked which of three groups borrow most—people with rising incomes, (4)_____ incomes, or declining incomes—he would (5)_____ answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1997—2000, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the (6)_____. This shows us that traditional (7)_____ about earning and spending are not always (8)_____ Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will (9)_____ to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. (10)_____ research surveys have shown that this is not always (11)_____ The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One (12)_____ attitude was ex-pressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. (13)_____, the rise in prices that has al-ready taken place may be resented and buyer’s resistance may be evoked.
The (14)_____ mentioned above was carried out in America. Investigations (15)_____ at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more (16)_____ traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most contributive to spending (17)_____ to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are (18)_____, they are likely to buy.

选项
A、delay
B、hesitate
C、hasten
D、hurry
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。本句提到:另一种假定是如果有钱人预见到价格将上涨,他们就会如何做。单从四个选项不能判断这里应该填入"延迟购买"还是"急于购买"。再看下一句:如果他们预见价格下降,他们就会暂缓购买。由此可以判断出,本句中应该是"匆忙购买"的意思,故选hasten,意为"赶紧,抢着"。delay意为"延迟",hesitate意为"犹豫,踌躇",若将这两个词放入句中,与下一句意思矛盾;hurry意为"匆忙,赶紧",指"动作不轻松、不自然的快,有时表示不必要的快",并且常有"忙乱、匆促"的意思,而hasten着重于"想办法赶快"的意思,并常表示"匆忙的动作,有时动作过分仓促而不能得到预期的结果"。通过对比可知,hasten比hurry更符合句子语境。
