The economy of the United States after 1952 was the economy of a well-fed, almost fully employed people. Despite occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom. An economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was valued at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War II. The country’s business spent about 30 billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day, or about twenty-five million dollars every hour, all around the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the boom. To some observers this was an ominous (不祥 的, 恶兆的) echo of the mid-1920’s. As farmers’ share of their products declined, marketing costs rose. But there were, among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority. Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last long and would eventually lead to the opposite—depression. [br] In the second sentence, the word "boom" could best be replaced by______.
选项
A、rapid economic growth
B、general public support
C、thunderous noise
D、nearby explosion
答案
A
解析
本题是一道词汇含义类问题。问文章第二句话中“boom”一词的意思是什么。根据上下文内容,尤其是文章的第一句话和第二句话指出,1952年后的美国经济处于一种人们丰衣足食、几乎完全就业的状态。尽管偶尔有些警示信号,这个国家还是逃过了战后的任何经济萧条,处于一种迅速发展的繁荣状态。文章后面部分以大量数字介绍了美国20世纪50年代良好的经济状况。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“经济迅速发展”。
