问题   At least 600, 000 jobs could disappear in the UK this year, according to a report by a personnel managers’ professional body.The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development says even those who escape redundancy will face pay freezes.It says that while total unemployment will not hit three million, the time between New Year and Easter will be the worst for job losses since 1991.According to official statistics, there were 1.86 million people out of work in the UK in October, 2008.This figure was the highest since 1997, taking the overall unemployment rate to 6 percent.David Frost of the British Chamber of Commerce says, "It is the worst year.Companies are in survival mode."
  According to the passage, which year will be the worst for job losses in the UK?

选项

答案 2009

解析 题目意思:根据文章,英国失业情况最严重的是哪一年? 根据题干“worst, job losses, in the UK”可定位至该段第三句和第四句“It says that while total unemployment will not hit three million, the time between New Year and Easter will be the worst for job losses since 1991.According to oficial statistics, there were 1.86 million people out of work in the UK in October, 2008.”即报告说,虽然总失业率不会达到300万,但从新年到复活节这段时间将是1991年以来失业率最严重的时期。据官方统计,2008年10月,英国有186万人失业。意思是最严重的是“2008年后的新年到复活节”,复活节在每年春分日,约在3月22至4月25之间,故答案为“2009”。
