问题     The Economist calculates that around the world almost 290 million 15- to 24-year-olds are neither working nor studying: almost a quarter of the planet’s youth. On the other hand, many of the "employed" young have only informal and【C1】________jobs. In rich countries more than c. third, on average, are on temporary【C2】________which make it hard to【C3】________skills. In poorer ones, according to the World Bank, a fifth are【C4】________family labourers or work in the informal economy.【C5】________, nearly half of the world’s young people are either【C6】________the formal economy or contributing less【C7】________than they could.
    What has caused this【C8】________of joblessness? Young people have long had a raw【C9】________in tne labour market. Two things make the problem more【C10】________now. The financial crisis and its consequence had an unusually big【C11】________on them. Many employers【C12】________the newest hires first, so a【C13】________raises youth joblessness disproportionately.
    Second, the emerging economies that have the largest and fastest-growing【C14】________of young people also have the【C15】________labour markets. Almost half of the world’s young people live in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa. They also have the highest【C16】________of young people out of work or in the informal sector.
    In rich countries with generous welfare states this【C17】________a heavy burden on taxpayers. One estimate suggests that, in 2011, the economic loss from【C18】________young people in Europe【C19】________to $ 153 billion, or more than 1 % of GDP. And failure to employ the young not only【C20】________growth today. It also threatens it tomorrow.
【C16】
选项 A、piece
B、level
C、range
D、share
答案D
解析 上一句提到了年轻人口最多且增长最快的新兴经济体的劳务市场表现最差。那么这些地区年轻人的失业或从事非正规行业的所占的比重也是最高的，also表示同样是人口“比例”的问题，据推断应填入D项share“份额”。A项piece表示“整体中单独的一块”，不能用high或low修饰，B项level“等级；水平”，不能用于指“人的比例”；C项range通常指事物或行动可涉及或包括的“范围”，也与“比例”无关，故排除此三项。
