问题     It seems logical: College graduates have lower unemployment and earn more than less educated workers, so, the thinking goes, the fix for today’s weak growth in jobs and wages is to make sure that more people earn college degrees. But that’s a common misperception,【C1】______ attention from the serious work that has to be done to create jobs and improve incomes.
    A college education remains a【C2】______ to more stable, higher-paying employment. The recent jobless rate for college graduates ages 25 and older was 3.2 percent. That is a far lower rate of joblessness than for high school graduates and people without high school【C3】______ .
    But that doesn’t mean that enough good jobs are, or will be,【C4】______ for college graduates. The jobless rate for those under 25 averaged 8.2 percent this year. Recent graduates also face【C5】______ underemployment, meaning that they work in jobs that typically do not require bachelor’s degrees.
    Pay,【C6】______ , has not changed for college-educated workers over the past 12 years. That’s better than【C7】______ , as has been the case for less-educated workers. But it also shows that a college education, in and of itself, does not create good jobs at good pay. For that, a【C8】______ economy is essential—including consistent pro-employment policies and investments by business and government.
    Right now, the【C9】______for more good jobs at good pay is not good. According to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the 20 occupations expected to add the most new jobs from 2012 to 2022, only one—general and operations management—requires a bachelor’s degree. It also pays well. Most of the other big-growth occupations offered very low or【C10】______ pay.
A) declining E) qualitative I) moderate M) eligible
B) diplomats F) available J) hence N) diplomas
C) meanwhile G) evacuated K) diverting O) rising
D) outlook H) thriving L) path [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 O
解析 此处可填入名词、形容词或分词，来修饰宾语underemployment。上一句谈到今年25岁以下毕业生的失业率，而本句的meaning that…后面的内容则表明就业岗位不需要那么多具备学士学位的毕业生。可知毕业生正面临着越来越高的失业率，rising“上升的”符合此处语义。
