　　1.D)roughly 0.6 million people. 參考原文第一句They are among the 250,000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that accounts for 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed. 250,000≈D×40%

　　2.C) the students can’t get work after graduation. 原文是We study for jobs that don’t exist, 目的很明確, 是為了工作, 所以BD皆錯; A本文未有提及.

　　3.C) have been the first to show their disappointment over joblessness. 對應(yīng)原文The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent.

　　4.D) about 40% of the guest workers are out of work in Western Europe now. 如果第一題做對了, 就知道40%不是the guest workers而是the nation’s unemployed. 其他三個選項(xiàng)皆可對應(yīng)原文.

　　5.A) are more like Americans than their elders in their way of thinking. 對應(yīng)原文Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to resemble Americans more than they do their own parents. Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, each the right, to a standard of living that they see around them.
