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) anxious E) flood I) neglected M) resume
B) available F) hardly J) painful N) searching
C) drying G) mostly K) realization O) skipped
D) dynamic H) mug L) remedy
【C3】
选项
答案C
解析 此处应为分词，并可与up搭配。在动词词库中，可与up搭配的动词分词只有drying，词组drying up表示低利率信贷供给日趋“枯竭”，这正好体现了2014年的经济状况已大不如之前，因此，可以确定drying为本题答案。
