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、To introduce the concept of inflation.
B、To discuss the causes of inflation.
C、To review yesterday’s lecture on inflation.
D、To argue in favor of inflation.
答案
C
解析
主旨题。这段讲话的中心意思是什么?仔细听录音不难发现短文有几个标识字眼:yesterday wediscussed,we noted that,we concluded that,please recall,we also talk about等,能较易地推断出这是一段关于inflation的讲座回顾。所以C正确。
