The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.

　　34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that

　　[A] financial risks tend to outweigh political risks.

　　[B] the middle class may face greater political challenges.

　　[C] financial problems may bring about political problems.

　　[D] financial responsibility is an indicator of political status.

　　[答案] C

　　[解题思路]

　　本题对应于文章的最后一段最后一句话“The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind”(经济副作用已经开始了，政治副作用可能也不远了)，这句话暗含的意思是中产阶级在面临经济危机的同时还很有可能面临政治危机，因此C选项符合题意。A、B、D选项都是对这句话的误读，可以分别排除。

　　[题目译文]

　　可以从文章最后一段推测

　　[A] 财务风险往往比政治风险重要

　　[B] 中产阶级可能面临更大的政治挑战

　　[C] 财务问题可能带来政治问题
