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] 【C8】
选项
答案 H
解析 此处应填入修饰economy的词，由a可知是辅音开头，可能是形容词、分词或名词。上一句提到大学教育本身不创造薪水高的好工作，根据下文破折号后面的补充说明，可知持续促进就业的政策以及企业和政府的投资会给经济带来好的结果，故填入的词应表积极意义，thriving“兴旺的”符合要求。
