问题     Like many of the protesters at Occupy Wall Street in New York, Amanda Vodola is young, underemployed and loaded with student debt. She spends her days running around, helping【C1】______the movement, and her evenings waiting tables at a restaurant in Brooklyn. Last spring, she graduated from Fordham University【C2】______a degree in English. "I grew up with this narrative that to get a good job I need to go to school," she says. But the job she has " is not enough to pay the bills. " And the bills she’s【C3】______most about are the ones tied to that narrative: the $ 30,000 she【C4】______in college loans.
    In November, when their six-month grace period runs【C5】______, Vodola and millions of other students who graduated in May have to start【C6】______their loans. Repayment requirements for private loans kick in regardless of whether【C7】______have found jobs. Since employment rates for recent college graduates have【C8】______in the past two years, as have starting salaries, the【C9】______of a sharp rise in student-loan delinquencies (到期未付) has led some economists to【C10】______that this could be the next financial crisis, rippling (波及) into the wider economy. Total US student-loan debt, which exceeded credit-card debt【C11】______the first time last year, is on track to【C12】______$ 1, 000 billion this year. That’s a nearly 8%【C13】______over last year.
    But neither these【C14】______nor the voices of students,【C15】______by debt, at protests in cities and on campuses【C16】______the nation are likely to keep the families of high school seniors【C17】______seeing a brand-name education as a【C18】______to a better life. They’ve long been told that higher education is an【C19】______in the future—even as the costs of college has【C20】______538% over the past 30 years.
【C9】
选项 A、possibility
B、stability
C、publicity
D、security
答案A
解析 名词辨义。空格前为定冠词the，后面为介词of，需要填入名词作句子主语的中心词。本句前半句指出，近两年来大学毕业生的就业率下降，工作起薪也降低，因而会出现学生贷款到期未付率的急剧增长。此处表达的是“这种可能性导致经济学家开始担忧”，故答案为possibility“可能性”。stability意为“稳定性”；publicity意为“关注，宣传”；security意为“安全，保障”，均不符合句意，可以排除。
