The U.S. dollar was supposed to be at the end of its rope. Kicking the bucket. A dying symbol of a dying empire. Well, maybe not. The dollar continues to【C1】______gloom-and-doom predictions. After a swoon(低迷)last year, the dollar is again enjoying a major【C2】______The U.S. dollar index, which measures the dollar’s value against other major currencies, is just off an eight-month high.
The main reason behind the dollar’s recovery is actually no real surprise at all. There is no【C3】______able to replace the dollar as the world’s No.l currency. What makes currencies so fascinating is that their perceived value is always relative to other currencies.

Is any other major industrialized economy【C5】______better off than the U.S.? Not really. Just about the【C6】______developed world is suffering with the same problems. That’s why when investors get nervous, they still rush to the good old dollar. The dollar wins because no one else is really in the game.

M)revealed N)intriguing O)rally [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
D
解析
