Question

Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.

Job hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are   48 . Most serious of all, some still have no idea  49    to go working even a long time after graduation.

The reasons   50  this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on   51    the number of graduates is greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable jobs to do   52  go to the country.

I believe the problem can be solved   53  both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit   54  needs. Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to some   55  cities and the countryside. There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the problem can be solved.

试题分析：

 . not       根据前句的though说明尽管很多毕业生在毕业以后就被雇佣了。但仍然有很多人不能就业。

 . where 本句考查了特殊疑问词加不定式构成的结构做宾语的用法，have no idea="don’t" know.一些人毕业以后很长时间都不知道到哪里去工作。

  for 固定搭配the reason与介词for连用。

 . that       固定句型so …that…如此…以至于…；指大学招收了经济金融方面的学生太多了。以至于毕业生的数量超过了市场的需要。

 . than      固定句型would rather…than…宁愿…也不愿…

  if    根据句意说明本句使用条件句if…；句意：如果大学和学校都采取措施，问题是可以被解决的。

 . its/the  it指代上文的the market，指满足市场的需要。
