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] 【6】
选项
答案
H
解析
此空在were后面,且由副词partially修饰,所以为形容词或动词过去分词。上文提到unemployment下降,联系下文提到的self-employment,可知此处指“就业”,由此可确定答案为employed。
