答案
参考答案：B
解析：
Which of the following statements is true of John Maynard Keynes
[分析]： 特定信息的找寻和判断。
根据题干中的人名这一特定信息，迅速在材料相关处找寻有关的信息。发现在原文第二段第三句，文中提出经济学家John Maynard Keynes的观点“investors should view the market as a beauty contest, and they should mainly buy trading stocks that other people would find attractive”即“投资者们应把股市当作选美，他们应该选购那些对其他人具有吸引力的交易股票”。由此可判断，对股票的认识，该句中的attractive(具有吸引力的)与选项b中hot (热门的)是近义的。因此，选项b的说法是正确的。
[解题关键] 掌握近义词替换。如原文中attractive与选项中hot是近义词。
