All 47 economists surveyed by Renters between August 30 and September 1 expected the bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to keep rates at 4.50 percent when its meeting ends on Thursday September 8.
The median forecast showed rates cut to 4.25 percent by the end of next Match and staying at that level until end-2006.
Last month, the bank cut rates for the first time in two years to boost comer spending and a Reuters poll carried out after the move had forecast a second cut by year-end.
But minutes from the August meeting, published since, showed that four of the MPC's nine members--including Bank of England Governor Mervyn King--had voted for keeping rates on hold. Some said this made another move this year less likely.
"After such a close vote in August, the MPC is likely to want to wait and gather more evidence before moving interest rates again in either direction," said John Hawksworth at PwC, who expects a rate cut sometime in 2006.
Seventeen of the economists said the next move would be a cut in the final quarter of this year, most likely in November. An equal number forecast a cut in 2006, eight of them in February. Eight said the next move would be a hike and five saw rates on hold until the end of 2006. Those economists who expect rates to be cut again this year said evidence of weak economic growth in the third quarter could spur the bank into action.
"By the time of the November meeting, it should be clear that growth is set to disappoint and hence they (will) cut," said Michael Saunders at Citigroup.
Eight of the economists said the next move in rates would be a reversal of the August cut some time next year. They argued that the economy was not doing as badly as some thought, and that things could improve further this year. Concerns about inflation could then prompt mewed tightening.
Consumer price inflation shot up to 2.3 percent in July, rising above the Bank of England's 2.0 percent target for the first time since CPI was adopted as Britain's main inflation measure in December 2003.
Some analysts said the bank would probably be unwilling to risk fuelling inflation further by cut ting rates. But others argued that the rise in inflation was mainly due to the high oil prices and could thus prove short-lived.
The Bank of England cut interest rates last month to______.
A．control consumer spending.
B．stimulate people to spend money.
C．regulate the financial market.
D．help people make ends meet.

Given all these disadvantages, central bankers seem to have had much to boast about of late. Average inflation in the big seven industrial economies fell to a mere 2.3% last year, close to its lowest level in 30 years, before rising slightly to 2.5% this July. This is a long way below the double-digit rates which many countries experienced in the 1970s and early 1980s.
It is also less than most forecasters had predicated. In late 1994 the pane] of economists which The Economist polls each month said that America's inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995. In fact, it fell to 2.6% in August, and is expected to average only about 3% for the year as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year. This is no flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.
Economists have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack. America's capacity utilization, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment—the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past.
Why has inflation proved so mild？ The most thrilling explanation is, unfortunately, a little defective. Some economists argue that powerful structural changes in the world have up-ended(颠倒) the old economic models that were based upon the historical link between growth and inflation.
From the passage we learn that ______.
A．there is a definite relationship between inflation and interest rates
B．economy will always follow certain models
C．the economic situation is better than expected
D．economists had foreseen the present economic situation
