问题     Employers and career experts see a growing problem in American society--a(n)【C1】______of college graduates, many burdened with tuition-loan(学费贷款)debt,【C2】______into the work world with a degree that doesn’t mean much【C3】______The problem isn’t just a soft job market--it’s a(n)【C4】______of graduates. In 1973, a bachelor’s degree was more of a rarity,【C5】______just 47% of high school graduates went on to college. By October 2008, that number had【C6】______to nearly 70%. For many Americans today, a trip through college is considered as【C7】______of a birthright as a driver’s license.
    Employers stress that a basic degree【C8】______essential,  carefully tiptoeing around the idea that its【C9】______has decreased. But they admit that the degree alone is not enough; now they【C10】______work experience as a way to make yourself【C11】______. Daniel Pink, an author on motivation【C12】______the workplace, agrees that the bachelor’s degree "is necessary, but it’s just not【C13】______," at times doing little more than verifying "that you can more or less show up on time and【C14】______with it." The author of A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future says companies want【C15】______. They’re looking for people who can do【C16】______that can’t be outsourced(工程外包), he says, and graduates who "don’t【C17】______a lot of hand-holding."
    For now, graduates can steer their careers【C18】______job growth is strong--education, health care and nonprofit programs【C19】______Teach for America, says Trudy Steinfeld, a career counselor at New York University. "Every college degree is not cookie cutter. It’s what you have done during that degree to【C20】______yourself."
【C1】

选项 A、amount
B、number
C、abundance
D、sufficiency

答案C

解析 考查句子层面的近义词用法。根据后面接有many burdened with...可知此处应填表示“大量”意思的词。an abundance of后加名词表示“大量的,丰富的”;而a number of表示“一些,有些”;all amount of后一般接不可数名词,当与可数名词的复数连用时,意指整体概念。它们表示“大量的”时,均要用large,great等来修饰,即a large/great amount of, a large/great number of。
