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] 【C1】
选项
答案
G
解析
根据动词不定式符号to可知,此处应填动词原形。选项中有defy,rival,slump是动词原形形式。文章一开始说,美元本应走到尽头,快要崩溃。可后面又用maybe not,提示美元可能未必没落,后面又提到美元挺过去年的低迷再次大涨,空格后的gloom-and-doom predictions表示“美元注定走向没落的预测”,空格处应填与这个预测相反的词。defy“使落空”适合。
