问题 When the right person is holding the right job at the right moment,that person’s influence is greatly expanded.That is the position in which Janet Yellen,who is expected to be confirmed as the next chair of the Federal Reserve Bank(FeD.inJanuary,now finds herself.If you believe,as many do,that unemployment is the major economic and social concern of ourday,then it is no stretch to think Yellen is the most powerful person in the world right now.Throughout the 2008 financialcrisis and the recession and recovery that followed,central banks have taken on the role of stimulators of last resort,holdingup the global economy with vast amounts of money in the form of asset buying.Yellen,previously a Fed vice chair,was one of the principal architects of the Fed's$3.8 trillion money dump.A star economist known for her groundbreaking work on labormarkets,Yellen was a kind of prophetess early on in the crisis for her warnings about the subprime(次级债)meltdown.Now it will be her job to get the Fed and the markets out of the biggest and most unconventional monetary program in history without derailing the fragile recovery.The good news is that Yellen,67,is particularly well suited to meet these challenges.She has a keen understanding of financial markets,an appreciation for their imperfections and a strong belief that human suffering was more related to unemployment than anything else.Some experts worry that Yellen will be inclined to chase unemployment to the neglect of inflation.But with wages still relatively flat and the economy increasingly divided between the well-off and the long-termunemployed,more people worry about the opposite,deflation(通货紧缩)that would aggravate the economy’s problems.Either way,the incoming Fed chief will have to walk a fine line in slowly ending the stimulus.It must be steady enough todeflate bubbles and bring markets back down to earth but not so quick that it creates another credit crisis.Unlike many past Fed leaders,Yellen is not one to buy into the finance industry's argument that it should be left alone toregulate itself.She knows all along the Fed has been too slack on regulation of finance.Yellen is likely to address the issueright after she pushes unemployment below 6%,stabilizes markets and makes sure that the recovery is more inclusive anD.robust.As Princeton Professor Alan Blinder says,“She’s smart as a whip,deeply logical,willing to argue but also a goodlistener.She can persuade without creating hostility.”All those traits will be useful as the global economy’s new power playertakes on its most annoying problems.What did Yellen help the Fed do to tackle the 2008 financial crisis 《》（）A.Take effective measures to curb inflation.B.Deflate the bubbles in the American economy.C.Formulate policies to help financial institutions.D.Pour money into the market through asset buying.
选项 A.Take effective measures to curb inflation.
B.Deflate the bubbles in the American economy.

D.Pour money into the market through asset buying.
答案 D
解析 本题考查推理判断。

由题干中的the 2008 financial crisis和人物关键词Yellen定位到第二段前两句。定位句指出，在2008年经济危机及随后的衰退和复苏期间，中央银行通过资产买卖的方式撑起全球经济，而耶伦又帮助美联储聚集了巨额资金。综合分析，可以推断出耶伦帮助美联储通过资产买卖向市场注入资金，综上，D选项正确。
