答案 D
解析 文章说到通货膨胀是一个“阶段”，因此这里需要填写一个表示时间的关联词。本句意思是“当你用同样的钱数买到的东西比以前少的时候，通货膨胀就发生了”。因止匕选D。
根据句子关系和词语提示进行判断。本句上半句中的fewer可作提示词， less是little的比较形式，与fewer相对应。下句中的your money buyes less是更直接的提示。因此选D。
根据词语搭配和上下文线索提示。介词in与相应的名词裕配使用表示 “在……方面增长或减少”。本段第二句有类似的表达that causes rapid rises in prices。
根据上下文意思和词语逻辑，这里需要一个表示“最大”含义的词。本句意思是“依赖固定收入的人受影响最大”。因此选C。
根据词语习惯搭配。meet one's needs“满足需要”。此处的意思是“不再工作的老年人在通货膨胀时期要想退休金满足生活需求”。因此选A。
根据句子的逻辑。retirement income属于fixed income, or连接两个前后表达属于同类范畴的词。本句意思是“退休金和其他固定收入通常没有物价上涨得快”。因此选A。
根据上下文含义和句子逻辑，本句需要填一个表示“跟上”的词，因此要选keep up with。本句意思是“很多退休的人必须削减一些开支来跟上上涨的物价”。因此选D。
根据上下文意思和词语用法，stop后面接动名词表示“不再做某事”，本句意思是“很多情况下他们不再买一些生活必需品”。因此选B。
根据语法逻辑，本句是状语部分前置，正常语序是：Inflation can be a problem even for working people whose incomes are going up.for指“对于……来说”。本句意思是 “甚至对于那些有工作，工资也在上涨的人来说，通货膨胀也是一个问题”。
根据词语搭配和上下文意思，应选cost“成本”。本句意思是“生活成本上升了，工作的人们必须花更多的钱保证自己的生活质量”。
keep pace with指“跟上”，与keep up with同义。本句意思是“当工资和物价上涨不同步时，生活质量就下降”。因此选B。
此空填的是由from加which引导的定语从句，本句意思是“政府机构收集经济生活中的价格信息，以消费指数形式发布，由此，比率的变化就可以确定”。因此选B。
given在这里指“给定的，一定的”，符合题目要求。本句意思是“将特定年份的价格作为基数就可以衡量物价的变化”。
根据词语搭配和上下文线索选percentage“百分比”。本句意思是“其他物价按照这个基数形成一个百分比数字”。
根据语法原则选it , it在这里是形式宾语，代替不定式“to compare current prices of typical consumer goods with prices of the same goods in previous years"。本句意思是“消费指数能够将某种商品的目前价格与往年的做比较”。
