问题     Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport(excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises(前提). Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it last year, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building, Total consumption in real terms ruse by close on 11% this year and per capital personal consumption by under 7%, as in last year.
    The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy.
    Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Cost on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of cost on transport(including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occurred this year.
    The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation(饱和) point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered.
选项 A、people saved less
B、people were wealthy
C、people consumed less
D、costs on luxuries increased
答案A
解析 细节题。由题干undesirable可定位至第二段首句，本段末句说…there was evidently a fail…the rate of saving…，这既是rapid risen consumption所导致的结果之一，也是作者认为这种trend是非良性的原因，而且在下文中找不出作者反对这种快速增长的其他理由，故选A。
