问题     As the economy continues to【C1】________, a growing number of employers are once again hiring. What’s more, the gains aren’t limited to certain sectors. Rather, a broad swath of companies within the Fortune 500—from health care providers to retailers to defense contractors to insurers—are looking to fill 60,000【C2】________.
    The uptick is being【C3】________in part by better-than-expected profits that are helping to fill corporate coffers. Among big banks, many of which laid off thousands of workers after the 2008 financial crisis, JP Morgan Chase (JPM) , the nation’s second-largest bank, has【C4】________plans to hire nearly 9,000 new employees.
    Another sector showing signs of much improved hiring is【C5】________. Challenger points to Intel (INTC) , the world’s largest chip maker, which plans to【C6】________up to 2,000 positions in manufacturing, and research and development. And the sector is expected to see more growth. Amid the recession, many firms halted spending.
    If the job picture appears more【C7】________than just a few weeks, that’s because it’s human to be【C8】________pessimistic during and immediately after a recession, Challenger says. "Especially in this recession (衰退) . It’s been a long and difficult and slow moving recession" that really struck at core sectors of the economy. That’s way different from dot-com bubble that burst about a decade ago.
    While there has been some job growth in manufacturing, Challenger says there haven’t been【C9】________gains. Still, that’s better than bleeding jobs. A cheaper dollar on world markets is helping by making US-made goods cheaper abroad, but still the sector faces big challenges, such as foreign competition and the【C10】________effects of the recession.
    A) announced     F) add              K) technology
    B) brighten      G) exaggeratedly    L) science
    C) substantial   H) lingering        M) develop
    D) advised       I) openings         N) overly
    E) driven        J) employees        O) robust [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 O
解析 空格前是系动词appear和表示比较级的more，因此可以断定空格处是一个多音节的形容词。符合语法条件的多音节形容词有substantial、lingering和robust。将这三个选项分别代入文中，只有robust符合句意，在此引申为“好的，乐观的”，与后文的pessimistic对应。故选O。
