Economics and weather have a lot in common. Knowing what conditions will be like weeks or months in the future is not easy. One thing that helps economists predict the future is the index of leading economic indicators.
An index is a way to measure changes in a group of numbers over time. In financial markets, for example, an index of stocks will rise or fall with changes in the wider market. The changes measured by an index can be represented with a single percentage. The index may start at a base period of time with a value of one hundred. Now say that a month later the value is recorded as one hundred one. That means it gained one percent. If the index lost one percent, however, the value would be ninety nine.
The leading economic indicators are really ten indexes. Four deal with manufacturing activity. One deals with unemployment claims, Another measures people’s expectations of the economy. Still others involve financial information like the money supply and interest rates. The index of leading indicators is just one of the tools used to measure the business cycle. A measure called the coincident index provides information about current conditions. Employment rates are an important part of it. There is also a lagging index. It helps confirm economic changes that currently appear to be taking place. Interest rates are an important lagging indicator.
Why is economics comparable to weather according to the passage?
Which of the following can be categorized as a lagging index?
选项
A、Unemployment rates.
B、Manufacturing rates,
C、Interest rates,
D、People’s expectations of the economy.
答案

解析
本题问“下列哪项指教可被划分为滞后指标?”短文的最后部分提到,There is also a lagging index. It helps confirm economic changes that currently appear to be taking place,Interest rates are an important lagging indicator.也就是说,利率就是一种重要的滞后指标。据此可以确定[C]“利息比率”正确。
