What is the main purpose of the talk?
Yesterday we discussed the problem of rising prices, or, in the economist’s terms, inflation. We noted that, during periods of inflation, all prices and incomes do not rise at the same rate. Some incomes rise more slowly than the cost of living, and a few do not rise at all. Other incomes rise more rapidly than the cost of living.
We concluded that persons with fixed incomes, as for example, the elderly who depend upon pensions, and persons with slow-rising incomes as, for example, an employee with a salary agreed to in a long-term contract, will be most seriously affected by inflation. Please recall that while their dollar incomes stay the same, the cost of goods and services rises, and in effect, real income decreases; that is, they are able to purchase less with the same amount of money. We also talked about the fact that stockholders and persons with business interests and investments would probably benefit most from inflation, since high prices would increase sales receipts, and profits would likely rise faster than the cost of living.
选项
A、Rising prices.
B、Fixed income.
C、Real income.
D、Cost of living.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据讲座,通货膨胀可解释为什么?原文开头就说到“the problem of rising prices,or, inthe economist’s terms,inflation”,经济学术语称“通货膨胀”,即价格上涨,再结合常识也能理解通货膨胀的意思,所以答案选A。
