问题    The scientist who wants to predict the way which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must 【C1】_______ data both on the resources of consumers and on the motive that 【C2】_______ to encourage or discourage money spending.
   If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most—people with rising incomes,【C3】______incomes, or decreasing incomes—he would probably answer, those with 【C4】_______ incomes. 【C5】_______, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were 【C6】_______ and people with stable incomes borrowed least. This shows us that traditional 【C7】_______ about the relation between earning and spending are not always【C8】______. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will【C9】______to buy.【C10】______, research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not【C11】______buying. One typical attitude was expressed【C12】______the wife of mechanic in an interview at a time of rising price. "In a few months," she said, "we’ll have【C13】______to spend on other things." Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this【C14】______.
   Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer’ s【C15】______may be produced. This is shown by the following【C16】______comment: "I just don’t pay these prices; they are too high."
   The investigations mentioned above were【C17】______in America. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are【C18】______, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of【C19】______stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer【C20】______.
【C9】

选项 A、inhibit
B、hesitate
C、hasten
D、dash

答案C

解析 本句意为“如果物价预期增长,拥有资金的人会______消费”。条件句中的定语从句表示参与者有钱,动词用的是expect(期待),那么人们也会去买。inhibit to do意为“禁止做某事”,hesitate to do意为“犹豫不决做某事”,均表示消极含义,不符合题意。hasten to do“急忙去做某事”,dash to do“冲去做某事”,而此处想表达的是“如果那些有钱人预期价格会上涨,他们会赶紧去购买”,dash to do显得太过夸张,不符合题意。
