Last year’s economy in the United States should have won the Oscar for best picture. Growth in gross domestic product was 4.1 percent profits【1】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【2】, good jobs paying enough to support a family.
Job insecurity was serious. Even as they【3】higher sales and profits, corporations acted as if they were operating at a【4】, cutting 516,069 jobs in 1994 alone, almost as many as in the bad year of 1991. Yes, unemployment went down. But over 1 million workers were so【5】they left the labor force. More than 6 million who wanted full time work were only partially【6】and another large group was sheltered behind self-employment. We lost a million good manufacturing jobs between 1990 and 1995, continuing the【7】that has reduced the blue-collar work force from about 30 percent in the 1950s to about half that today.
White-collar workers found out they were no longer【8】. In 1995, for the first time, they were let go in numbers【9】equal to those for blue-collar workers.

A. announced B. trend C. performed D. temporary
E. permanent F. virtually G. technical H. employed
I. exposure J. originally K. soared L. significance
M. secure N. discouraged O. loss [br] 【2】
选项
答案
E
解析
此处需要形容词,与good并列修饰jobs。由此可知该词与good一样表积极意义,可先排除temporary。词库中符合条件的形容词有secure和permanent。secure不能如此搭配,用法不对;permanent较为合适,表明薪水高的、稳定持久的工作。
