【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 36-40
Stocks can be divided into two categories: those for trading and those for investing. Within trading stocks, you make money by figuring out whether other traders will keep buying or start selling the stock and positioning yourself accordingly for a few weeks or even days. By contrast, with investing stocks you aim to buy into a company at an attractive price, given the worth of its assets and likely future profits, regardless of when the value will be recognized by the market. This way, you can steer clear of overpaying for fashionable dogs.
There"s nothing revolutionary about this strategy, of course. It"s just a question of calmly mixing and matching some old, and apparently somewhat contradictory, stock market wisdom and applying it to a hot market. About 70 years ago, British economist John Maynard Keynes said investors should view the market as a beauty contest, and they should mainly buy trading stocks that other people would freed attractive. Benjamin Graham, the father of modern securi- ties analysis, bristled at that idea. He lamented that stock buyers, though almost always called investors, are often actually speculators. Instead, he preached that they should make a hard- nosed assessment of the inherent value of companies and search out investing stocks.

[分析] 主旨题。
解答此题需要掌握全文主旨大意，然后将选项中的关键词与之对照。本文在介绍两种基本的股票操作类型的基础上，集中讨论了两位有关专家对股票的不同见解。因此选项D中的“conflicting perspectives”即“对立的观点”恰当地覆盖了全文重点内容，因此选项D是正确的。
[解题关键] 正确把握全文结构的逻辑有助于解题。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。
根据题干中的人名这一特定信息，迅速在材料相关处找寻有关的信息。发现在原文第二段第三句，文中提出经济学家John Maynard Keynes的观点“investors should view the market as a beauty contest, and they should mainly buy trading stocks that other people would find attractive”即“投资者们应把股市当作选美，他们应该选购那些对其他人具有吸引力的交易股票”。由此可判断，对股票的认识，该句中的attractive(具有吸引力的)与选项B中hot(热门的)是近义的。因此，选项B的说法是正确的。
[解题关键] 掌握近义词替换。如原文中attractive与选项中hot是近义词。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。
根据题干中的人名这一特定信息，迅速在材料相关处找寻有关的信息。发现在原文第二段最后一句，文中提到Benjamin Graham教导投资者“they should make a hard-nosed assessment of the inherent value of companies and search out investing stocks”即“投资者们应对各公司固有的内在价值做认真细致的评估，并查寻出投资股票”。因此选项C是正确的。
[解题关键] 能够对原文关键词作出正确的推断。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 事实细节的找寻和判断。
关于交易股和投资股的知识，原文一开始给予介绍，从第一段第二句可知，交易股的持有的时间为几周甚至几天，后面文中使用表示对比的信号词“by contrast”过渡到投资股的介绍，由此可判断，投资股持有的时间必定不会短。因此，选项C的说法与原文意思相符，是正确答案。
[解题关键] 通过信号词判断上下文的语义逻辑关系，有助于解题，如通过by contrast可判断其上下文是对比关系。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 结构逻辑判断。
听力材料中的信号词往往能够帮助应试者对整个语篇的逻辑结构进行判断。此文前一部分介绍股票的两种操作形式，中间用“by contrast”进行连接；此文后部分介绍两位专家的观点，在介绍完John Maynard Kevnes的观点后，接着谈到“Benjamin Graham...bristled at that idea”即“Benjamin Graham对前者的观点感到不满”，由“bristled”(感到恼火)的使用可知，后文提到的观点与前面的相左。显然，该材料使用了比较对比的手法。因此，选项D是正确的。
[解题关键] 通过信号词或其它信息判断行文手法有助于正确解题，如根据信号词by contrast和单词bristle的使用，可判断此篇材料的写作手法。
