Growth in gross domestic product was 4.1 percent profits【C1】______up exports flourished and inflation (通货膨胀) stayed around 3 percent for the third year. So why did so many Americans give the picture only a B rating? The answer is jobs. The macroeconomic (宏观经济的) situation was good, but the microeconomic (微观经济的) numbers were not Yes, 3 million new jobs were there, but not enough of them were【C2】______, good jobs paying enough to support a family.
Job insecurity was serious.

答案
N
解析
此空在were后面,且由副词so修饰,所以有两种可能性,一种是形容词,另一种是分词。前文说到失业率下降,此处的形容词是100多万工人自己离职的原因,由此可确定该词表消极意义。词库中的四个形容词都不合适,而动词的过去分词形式中,discouraged符合条件,意为“灰心的,丧气的”。
