    When the job market worsens, many students figure they can’t indulge(沉溺于)in an English or a history major. They have to study something that will lead【C1】______to a job. So it is almost inevitable that over the next few years, as labor markets struggle, the humanities will continue their long【C2】______. The labs are more glamorous(迷人的)than the libraries.
    However, let me stand up for the history, English and art classes, even in the face of today’s economic realities. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write. You will have【C3】______power if you are the person in the office who can write a clear and concise memo.
    Studying the humanities will give you a familiarity with the language of emotion. In an information economy, many people have the ability to【C4】______a technical innovation: a new MP3 player. Very few people have the ability to create a great brand: the iPod.

选项
答案D
解析 根据句子结构可知，此处需要填入一个名词作宾语。上文说，学生不能再专注于英语或历史专业，而不得不去学一些可以让他们直接就业的东西，本句则是这一行为的结果，即人文学科会继续下滑，[D]slide符合文意，故为答案。
