The U.S. dollar was supposed to be at the end of its rope. Kicking the bucket. 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 rally. The U.S. dollar index, which【C2】______the dollar’s value against other major currencies, is just off an eight-month high.
The main reason behind the dollar’s【C3】______is actually no real surprise at all. There is no alternative able to replace the dollar as the world’s No.1 currency. Sure, the U.S. budget deficit is expanding, the government’s debt is increasing, and Wall Street is still【C4】______itself. But the dollar remains the prettiest of a flock of ugly ducklings. 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.
The euro has been exposed as a【C7】______. Only a few months ago, economists truly believed the euro could【C8】______the dollar as the top reserve currency. Now experts are questioning if the euro has a future at all. The Greek debt crisis has【C9】______that the euro is only as strong as its weakest link.
And after the euro, where do global investors turn? The yen? Japan’s economy, with higher government debt and crushing deflation(通货紧缩), has even deeper structural problems than America’s.
Maybe over the next 20 or 30 years, the dollar will slowly lose the dominant status it holds today. That process,【C10】______, could well be driven by the appearance of new rivals.
A)absolute I)recovery
B)fraud J)rival
C)relieving K)slump
D)however L)particularly
E)concise M)measures
F)revealed N)partially
G)defy Orepairing
H)entire [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
O
解析
根据空格前的be动词,此处要填现在分词与前面的is increasing相对应。华尔街是金融的象征,文章表明美国处于经济复苏阶段,说明华尔街正在“修补”自己,repairing符合文意。relieving“缓解;减轻”,常用于表示缓解病痛、压力等。
