Section 2: Language use (60 marks)

I. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Consumers went back to using their credit cards in March to keep spending while student
and new-car loans shot up as the value of outstanding consumer credit jumped at the
fastest rate since late 2001, data from the Federal Reserve showed on Monday. Total
consumer credit grew by $21.36 billion - more than twice the $9.8 billion rise that Wall
Street economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast. That followed a revised $9.27 billion
increase in outstanding credit in February.
Analysts expressed some reservations whether the date reliably signaled a real pickup in
demand, something that would normally fuel stronger growth, or just a need to rely more
on credit in an economy generating anemic job growth.
"The optimistic read is that consumers' improved outlook on the economy and
employment prospects led them to feel comfortable spending on credit, while a more
downbeat interpretation is that credit is needed for consumers to keep up," Nomura
Global Economics said in a note afterward. The March rise in consumer credit was the
strongest for any month since November 2001 when it soared by $28 billion. New-car sales
and production were a key influence on the 2.2 percent annual rate of economic growth
posted during the first three months this year. The government estimated that about half
of that growth came from increased new car production.
