问题 This year’s federal budget deficit will be _______ [br]  
This year’ s federal budget deficit will reach a record $ 422 billion, and the government is now expected to accumulate $ 2.3 trillion in new debt over the next 10 years, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported yesterday.
   The expected deficit for the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, is $ 56 billion less than the CBO predicted in March, as a recovering economy added to tax receipts. But it is $ 46 billion more than last year’s record shortfall, with even more red ink possible. A nonpartisan agency reported: The expected total 10-year deficit would climb from $ 2.3 trillion to $ 3.6 trillion if President Bush is able to extend the tax cuts he enacted. They are currently set to expire in 2011.

选项 A、the tax cut has been much less than originally planned
B、Bush administration has reduced the federal expenditure
C、a better economy has increased tax income
D、CBO’s estimate in March was based on a wrong assumption

答案 C

解析
