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] 【C2】
选项
答案 L
解析 空格前的不定冠词a表明此处需填入辅音开头的名词单数形式，与空格后的介词to搭配，补充说明主语A college education。本句意为：大学教育仍然是获得更稳定、更高薪工作的一个……。名词path“途径”符合此处语义。
