答案 B
解析 由于上文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：“当你用同样的钱买到的东西比以前少的时候，通货膨胀就发生了。” 因此选D。
根据句子关系和词语提示，本句上半句中的fewer可做提示词，less是litlie的比较级形式，与fewer相配。下句中的your money buys 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与相应的名词搭配使用表示 “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。本句意思为“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意为“满足需要”。本句意思是：“不再工作的老年人在通货膨胀时期要使其工资满足其需求。”因此选A。
根据句子的逻辑，retirement income属于fixed income, or连接两个属于同类范畴的词。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，因此应选 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”，这句话的意思是：“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 prob-lem 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，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，生活质量就会下降。”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，将其发布成为价格指数，通过价格指数，价格变化率就可以确定。” 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：“以特定一年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“百分比”percentage。本句意思是：“其他物价按照这个基数成为一个百分比数字。”
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：“价格指数能够将某种商品的目前价格与往年的做比较。”
