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、appears
B、occurs
C、happens
D、expects
答案
A
解析
词汇辨析题。本文前面谈到在美国当物价上涨时,人们会暂缓购买,而在英国当物价上涨时,人们会赶紧抢购。然后自然过渡到物价稳定的情况——最有助于消费的是物价稳定。appear意为"看来,似乎",如:Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water.(两个月的婴儿看来不像是不肯下水的)。appear后常跟不定式结构,放在句中既符合语义关系,又符合语法要求。occur意为"出现",happen意为"发生",这两个词不符合本处语义关系。expect意为"期待,期盼",后常跟不定式结构,但该词的主语是人,如果是物则须使用被动语态,显然不符合此处的语法要求。
