问题     It seems logical: College graduates have lower unemployment and earn more than less educated workers, so, the thinking goes, the fix for today’s weak growth in jobs and wages is to make sure that more people earn college degrees. But that’s a common misperception,【C1】______attention from the serious work that has to be done to create jobs and improve incomes.
    A college education remains a【C2】______to more stable, higher-paying employment. The recent jobless rate for college graduates ages 25 and older was 3.2 percent. That is a far lower rate of joblessness than for high school graduates and people without high school【C3】______.
    But that doesn’t mean that enough good jobs are, or will be,【C4】______for college graduates. The jobless rate for those under 25 averaged 8.2 percent this year. Recent graduates also face【C5】______underemployment, meaning that they work in jobs that typically do not require bachelor’s degrees.
    Pay,【C6】______, has not changed for college-educated workers over the past 12 years. That’s better than【C7】______, as has been the case for less-educated workers. But it also shows that a college education, in and of itself, does not create good jobs at good pay. For that, a【C8】______economy is essential—including consistent pro-employment policies and investments by business and government.
    Right now, the【C9】______for more good jobs at good pay is not good. According to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the 20 occupations expected to add the most new jobs from 2012 to 2022, only one—general and operations management—requires a bachelor’s degree. It also pays well. Most of the other big-growth occupations offered very low or【C10】______pay.
A)declining B)diplomats C)meanwhile D)outlook
E)qualitative F)available G)evacuated H)thriving
I)moderate J)hence K)diverting L)path
M)eligible N)diplomas O)rising [br] 【C4】
选项
答案 F
解析 空格前的are和or will be表明此处需填人分词或形容词，且能与空格后的for搭配。上文提到的25岁及以上的大学毕业生的失业率远比高中毕业或以下的人低，本句用But转折，故要表达的意思是“现在或将来并没有足够多的好工作给大学毕业生”。available“可获得的，可用的”符合上下文语境。而eligible“合格的，有资格的”也可与for搭配，但一般是用人作主语，如：Are you eligible for social security benefits?(你有资格享受社会福利吗?)
