Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

There're three main types of financial stress people encounter. The first type is apparent in people being stressed about the __26__ ups and downs of investment markets—actually not so much the ups, but __27__ the downs. These people are usually unable or unprepared to endure the long haul.

人们所面临的主要财务压力有三种类型。第一种类型体现在人们因投资市场的正常波动而感到压力——实际上不那么在意上涨,但肯定在意下跌。这些人通常无法或未准备好承受长期的压力。

The next common type of financial stress is that caused by debt. In a __28__ percentage of cases of debt-induced financial stress, credit cards and loans will be a central element. Often there'll be a car loan and perhaps a mortgage, but credit cards often seem to be the gateway to debt-related financial difficulties for many.

下一种常见的财务压力是由债务引起的。在相当大比例的由债务引发的财务压力案例中,信用卡和贷款是核心因素。通常会有汽车贷款,也许还有抵押贷款,但对许多人来说,信用卡往往是通往债务相关财务困难的入口。

The third type of stress and __29__ the least known is inherited financial stress, which is the most destructive. It is experienced by those who have grown up in households where their parents regularly __30__ and fought about money. Money therefore becomes a stressful topic, and so the thought of sitting down and planning is an unattractive __31__.

第三种类型的压力,也可能是最少为人知的是继承性财务压力,这是最具破坏性的。它由那些在家庭中长大、父母经常因金钱争吵和打架的人所经历。因此,金钱成为一个压力话题,所以坐下来进行规划的想法变得缺乏吸引力。

Those suffering inherited financial anxiety __32__ to follow one of two patterns. Either they put their head in the sand: they would __33__ examining their financial statements, budgeting, and discussing financial matters with those closest to them. Alternatively, they would go to the other __34__, and micro-analyze everything, to the point of complete __35__. They're convinced that whatever decision they make will be the wrong one.

那些遭受继承性财务焦虑的人往往遵循两种模式之一。要么他们选择逃避:避免检查自己的财务报表、制定预算,以及与最亲近的人讨论财务问题。或者,他们会走向另一个极端,对一切进行微分析,导致完全不采取行动。他们深信无论做出什么决定都将是错误的。

逐空答案与解析
26.
答案 I
解析此处需要一个形容词修饰名词 'ups and downs'。根据上下文,投资市场的波动是人们压力的来源之一,因此选择 'normal'(正常的)来描述这种波动。
27.
答案 E
解析此处需要一个副词修饰动词 'the downs'。根据上下文,人们更担心投资市场的下跌而不是上涨,因此选择 'definitely'(肯定地)来强调这种倾向。
28.
答案 Dconsiderable
解析空格在 In a __ percentage of cases 中,位于名词 percentage 之前,需一个形容词作定语。normal 已用于 b26(normal ups and downs),且 normal percentage 不符语境。considerable(相当大的)符合:在相当大比例的债务型财务压力案例中,信用卡和贷款是核心因素。故选 considerable。
29.
答案 Jpossibly
解析空格在 the third type of stress and __ the least known 中,位于形容词最高级 the least known 之前,需一个副词修饰它。proposition 是名词,应留作 b31(unattractive proposition)。possibly(可能)符合:第三种压力「也可能是」最不为人知的一种。故选 possibly。
30.
答案 B
解析此处需要一个动词,表示父母经常做的与金钱相关的争论行为。根据上下文,选择 'argued'(争论)来描述父母因金钱问题而经常争吵。
31.
答案 K
解析此处需要一个名词,表示规划金钱的想法。根据上下文,选择 'proposition'(命题)来表示坐下来规划金钱是一个不吸引人的提议。
32.
答案 N
解析此处需要一个动词,表示遭受遗传性财务焦虑的人倾向于遵循的模式。根据上下文,选择 'tend'(倾向于)来描述他们倾向于遵循两种模式之一。

解析此处需要一个动词,表示他们避免的行为。根据上下文,选择 'avoid'(避免)来描述他们避免检查财务报表、预算和讨论财务问题。
