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.

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.

选项 A、inside
B、outside
C、for
D、under
答案B
解析 前面两句分别提到富裕国家和较贫穷国家中年轻人从事非正规职业的情况，空格所在句是对上文的总结，即“世界年轻人从事非正规职业的情况”，由于空格后为formal economy(正规经济)，因此空格处应为否定含义的词才能表达“从事非正规职业”之意，故选B项outside“在……之外”。
