问题     Back in the carefree days of the Noughties boom, Britain’s youngsters were swept along by the buy-now-pay-later culture embraced by consumers up and down the country. During a decade of near-full employment, many【C1】_____quickly from one job—and one credit card—to another, and rainy days were such a distant memory that they【C2】_____seemed worth saving for.
    But with the supply of cheap credit【C3】_____up and a generation of school and university leavers about to【C4】_____the recession-hit job market, thousands of young people with no memory of the early 1990s recession are shocked into the【C5】_____that the world of 2014 is very different.
    Katie Orme, 19, who lives in Birmingham, says she has decided never to get a credit card after seeing the problems that her parents and 22-year-old sister have had with debt—just one of the【C6】_____lessons that she has had to learn.
    Orme finished her A-levels a year ago, and has been【C7】_____for a job—and living at home with her parents—ever since. She has had to sign on to support herself and is now on a 12-week internship(实习期)at the Prince’s Trust to improve her【C8】_____. The Trust says that the number of calls from【C9】_____people such as Orme has shot up by 50% over six months.
    "It’s so hard to get a job at the moment," she says, "it’s better to go and get more qualifications so when more jobs are【C10】_____you will be better suited."
A)searching B)skipped C)available D)mostly
E)anxious F)mug G)hardly H)remedy
I)realization J)dynamic K)resume L)painful
M)neglected N)drying O)flood
【C4】
选项
答案O
解析 由be about to do sth．结构可知，此处应为原形动词。由本段开头的But一词可推断本段提到的2014年的经济状况应与上一段提到的繁荣时期的经济状况相反，上一段提到当时人们可以随意换工作，这一段就应该说人们很难找到工作，由此可推断空白处应填flood，描述人多职位少的情况。
