问题 Back in the carefree days of the Noughties boom, Britain’s youngsters were swept along by the buy-now-pay-later culture embraced by consumers up and down the country. During a decade of near-full employment, many【C1】______ quickly from one job—and one credit card—to another, and rainy days were such a distant memory that they【C2】______ seemed worth saving for.
But with the supply of cheap credit【C3】______ up and a generation of school and university leavers about to【C4】______ the recession-hit job market, thousands of young people with no memory of the early 1990s recession are shocked into the【C5】______ that the world of 2009 is very different.
Katie Orme, 19, who lives in Birmingham, says she has decided never to get a credit card after seeing the problems that her parents and 22yearold sister have had with debt—just one of the【C6】______ lessons that she has had to learn.
Orme finished her A-levels a year ago, and has been searching for a job—and living at home with her parents—ever since. She has had to【C7】______ on to support herself and is now on a 12-week internship (实习期) at the Prince’s Trust to improve her【C8】______ The Trust says that the number of calls from【C9】______ people such as Orme has shot up by 50% over six months. "It’s so hard to get a job at the moment," she says, "it’s better to go and get more qualifications so when more jobs are【C10】______ you will be better suited."
A) sign B) skipped C) available D) mostly
E) anxious F) mug G) hardly H) remedy
I) realization J) dynamic K) resume L) tough
M) neglected N) drying O) flood [br] 【C3】

选项

答案 N

解析结合句首的with和空格后的介词up推知此处应为动词的分词形式。词库中可与up搭配的分词只有drying一词，drying up表示低利率信贷供给日趋“枯竭”，这正好体现了2009年的经济状况已大不如之前，故drying为本题答案。
