Unlike downturns past,European nations have kept unemployment figures low relative to the U.S. this time around because Europe’s labor markets have【C1】______to depend less on allowances than government schemes to put them back to work quickly. What’s more,【C2】______focusing solely on jumpstarting their economies【C3】______stimulus(刺激), as the U.S. has, Northern Europe has thrown its【C4】______at keeping people at work--by any means【C5】______.
In the countries of northern Europe, that has【C6】______large and successful retraining schemes to get laid-off workers back into jobs quickly.【C7】______in nations like Germany, jobs have also been【C8】______by cutting hours. Rather than laying off workers, a number of European companies have chosen to cut【C9】______schedules by a third or more as part of larger government schemes to【C10】______mass layoffs. Companies save money on salaries【C11】______the government picks up the cost of the pay cuts, including payroll(工资总额)taxes. It’s successful, but it【C12】______to the national debt and also has the【C13】______to twist European labor markets.
What’s more, economists note, European unemployment【C14】______tend to lag behind those of the U.S.-- meaning that while American unemployment will probably【C15】______this year, the big European economies will【C16】______numbers continue to rise into the years ahead.
All these emphasize the fact【C17】______while Northern Europe has handled the crisis【C18】______well up to now, the future is【C19】______bright. Indeed, economists say that Europe’s usual slower-growth, higher-unemployment trend line will【C20】______in the years ahead.
【C12】
选项
A、lessens
B、grows
C、lowers
D、adds
答案
D
解析
考查动词辨义及语义逻辑。空前的but表明此处语义与上文之间存在转折关系,上文提到举措的好处,此处应指其不足之处,表“增加国家债务”,add可与to搭配,意为“增加”,符合语义。grow也表“增加”,但其后应跟介词in,而非to。lesson与lower均表“减少”,为及物动词。
