问题 Which of the following best describes America’s economic situation now? [br] How does monetary policy offer help for weak economic activity?
选项 A、It can stimulate investment in new plant and equipment.
B、It can reduce interest rates so as to stimulate weak economic activity.
C、The Fed tries to keep inflation low.
D、President Bush can offer appropriate monetary policy.
答案 B
解析 由题干的How does monetary policy offer help定位到原文第三段倒数第二句．．．the Fed stands ready to reduce interest rates again if it judges it necessary—even after 12 cuts in the past two years．推断题。解答该题需要准确理解原文含义并有一定的经济学常识。上文(第二段)提到人们由于对未来不看好而推迟投资，第三段在试图为此寻求解决办法时提到．．．the Fed stands ready to reduce interest rates again．．．，可见货币政策刺激经济最常用的措施就是降低利息率，故选B)。[避错]A)的描述不够确切，是货币政策起作用之后的结果，而不是其本身起作用的方法；通货膨胀率低使得美联储有进一步降息的空间，而不是刺激经济的方法，排除C)；文章最后一句明确指出布什总统的财政激励措施是much vaunted (自吹自擂的)，并且unlikely to provide appropriate help(不大可能提供适当的帮助)，排除D)。
