credit 信用

insurance 保險(xiǎn)

investment 投資

conduct 引導(dǎo)

coalition 聯(lián)合

imaginative 虛構(gòu)的;富于想象的

【答案解析】

本題答案定位已經(jīng)很明確，即劃線句子附近，gain steam表面意思是獲得蒸汽/精力，在這里表示動力十足、富有活力，如果知道這個(gè)意思，則很容易選出答案D(越來越流行/受歡迎);如果不認(rèn)識gain steam在職申碩英語，則只有通過上下文猜測語義，關(guān)鍵詞為下半句的been falling on，意為在某方面是失敗的，又由句首的Even可知上下句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,那么既然后半句表達(dá)失敗，則前半句一定表達(dá)成功，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有D表達(dá)正面的成功意義。

【參考譯文】
