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 B)diplomats C)meanwhile D)outlook
E)qualitative F)available G)evacuated H)thriving
I)moderate J)hence K)diverting L)path
M)eligible N)diplomas O)rising [br] 【C9】
选项
答案 D
解析 此处应填人名词，作句子主语。本句是该段首句，句子意为：更多薪酬不错的好工作的……并不好。接着下文具体说明了在20个有望增加最多新工作的行业中，只有一个行业要求学士学位，薪酬也不错。outlook“前景”与expected to相呼应，句子表示好工作的“前景”并不好，符合语义逻辑。
