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.

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.

A)fraud B)consistently C)dominant D)expanding
E)entire F)incentive G)rival H)alleged
I)defy J)particularly K)alternative L)relative
M)revealed N)intriguing O)rally [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
D
解析
根据空格后两个并列句的结构,可知此处应填入与increasing和repairing形式一致的现在分词。空格后提到政府的债务正在增加,故此句所说的美国预算赤字应该也在增加。expanding表示“扩大,增加”,符合上下文语义。
