问题     The Economist calculates that around the world almost 290 million 15- to 24-year-olds are neither working nor studying: almost a quarter of the planet’s youth. On the other hand, many of the "employed" young have only informal and【C1】______jobs. In rich countries more than a third, on average, are on temporary【C2】______which make it hard to【C3】______skills In poorer ones, according to the World Bank, a fifth are【C4】______family labourers or work in the informal economy.【C5】______, nearly half of the world’s young people are either【C6】______the formal economy or contributing less【C7】______than they could.
    What has caused this【C8】______of joblessness? Young people have long had a raw【C9】______in the labour market. Two things make the problem more【C10】______now. The financial crisis and its consequence had an unusually big【C11】______on them. Many employers【C12】______the newest hires first, so a【C13】______raises youth joblessness disproportionately.
    Second, the emerging economies that have the largest and fastest-growing【C14】______of young people also have the【C15】______labour markets. Almost half of the world’s young people live in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa They also have the highest【C16】______of young people out of work or in the informal sector.

One estimate suggests that, in 2011, the economic loss from【C18】______young people in Europe【C19】______to $153 billion, or more than 1% of GDP. And failure to employ the young not only【C20】______growth today. It also threatens it tomorrow.
【C15】
选项 A、best-run
B、worse-run
C、worst-run
D、better-run
答案C
解析 根据上文的“两个原因造成了全球大量年轻人失业”，可知新兴经济体的劳务市场状况并不好，主语the emerging economies后用了最高级来限定，结合also“同样地”可推断，空格处也应用最高级的形式，故选C项worst-run“经营最差的”。
