The contrasts formed by China's 【surging】 economy and its depressed stock market of the past few years prompted them to absorb Chinese stocks at low prices.
A、perspiring
B、rising
C、jockeying
D、descending
【正确答案】：B
【名师解析】:选项B "rising" 是正确的答案，因为它与题目中提到的 "China's surging economy" 形成对比，表示中国经济的快速增长。而 "surging" 一词在这里意味着经济的迅猛发展或增长，与 "rising" 意思相近，都传达了经济上升的态势。其他选项如 "perspiring" 意为出汗，与经济状况无关；"jockeying" 意为操纵或竞争，也不适合描述经济状态；"descending" 意为下降，与 "surging" 形成反义，但题目中是要求与 "surging" 形成对比，因此 "rising" 是最合适的选择。
