问题 Among the criticisms of the Obama administration’s bank rescue proposal is that the government will provide up to $1 trillion in financing for big private investors, like the asset manager BlackRock, to buy up banks’ bad assets. If those assets lose【C1】______afterwards, the investors do not have to repay the government loans, sticking taxpayers【C2】______potentially huge losses. If the【C3】______make money, taxpayers get only half the profit.
【C4】______that unevenness, it is not【C5】______that many Americans see the bank bailouts(救助计划) — the Bush administration’s and now the Obama administration’s — as intentionally gamed to【C6】______Wall Street members at taxpayers’【C7】______.
Apparently stung by that criticism and【C8】______. Obama officials have now floated the idea of encouraging everyday investors to invest【C9】______in the plan. One possible【C10】______would be to gather some of those assets into a【C11】______fund in which everyone could buy shares. While getting more and more involved, the thinking【C12】______. we could all learn to love the bailout.
The notion is not perfect. For individuals, investing makes【C13】______only after they have a comfortable amount of cash, they have paid【C14】______credit cards and other high-interest debt, they are current in taxes and monthly bills,【C15】______they are reasonably secure in their jobs and incomes.【C16】______. in ever-increasing numbers these days, Americans do not【C17】______that description. Even among those who do,【C18】______those with money to burn would be in a position to jump into investments so【C19】______and risky that the world’s major banks utterly【C20】______them. [br] 【C14】

选项 A、up
B、out
C、back
D、off

答案 D

解析语义衔接题。四个选项均可与pay搭配使用，但含义不同。pay up意为“付清全部欠款”，尤其指当人们不想还或付款已经晚了时的偿还；pay out意为“为某事物付巨款”；pay back意为“还(钱)给某人”；pay off意为“全部偿还；偿清”。这里说的是个人投资的前提，既然是投资，肯定是在收支有盈余的前提下才能进行，由此可推断出，他们应该是在付清了信用卡和其他高利息的债务之后。手头还有钱的情况下才投资，故答案为[D]off。根据常识可知，信用卡和债务一般都有偿还期限，且还款日期不能晚于偿还期限，并且此处的还款没涉及到想不想还，故排除强干扰项[A]up。
