问题     Of all the employed workers in the United States, 12.5 million are part of a temporary workforce. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics counts 9.2 percent of workers as those who have【C1】________they term "alternative employment arrangements." The government predicts that temporary staffing agencies【C2】________experience growth of 49 percent by the end of next year If numbers increase at the rate【C3】________, these companies will add 1.9 million new jobs by then. That’s more than any【C4】________industry.
    Temporary workers were the first ones to be affected by the recent economic recession, but they are【C5】________to be the first to regain positions as the economy picks up and companies work to rebuild. Employers use temporary workers as a resource because【C6】________offer flexibility and come at a low cost. Many temporaries are categorized as "independent contractors" instead of employees, 【C7】________allows the employer to avoid【C8】________certain taxes. Because they are not required to offer benefits to temporary workers, companies can save a great deal of money by hiring temps. Usually, temporary workers can qualify【C9】________benefits if they work for a staffing company for a certain length of time. Most temps, however, do not continue with one company long【C10】________to qualify for them because they regard the position as a step on the ladder to a【C11】________position later.
    According to Richard Wahlquist, president of the American Staffing Association, 75【C12】________ of temporary workers hope for transition out of the temporary staffing category【C13】________a period of time. Wahlquist finds that temporary workers spend about 1I weeks on various assignments before their【C14】________out of the temporary workforce. Many use temporary positions to gain experience and skills【C15】________they move on to better jobs. Wahquist says that the temp workforce as a whole turns【C16】________400 percent each year.
    Tom Dilworth, research director at the Employment Policies Institute, explains【C17】________some workers like having temporary jobs【C18】________it affords them a great deal of elasticity with time and everything. Some temps only have a limited【C19】________of time to work and temp agencies can help coordinate jobs to fit their schedules. Other sometimes-employees use temporary jobs to get an【C20】________to a company from the inside, to get a foot in the door of a certain business or career. Still others take temporary positions in hopes their employers will change them over to permanent positions eventually.
【C11】
选项 A、temporary
B、permanent
C、appropriate
D、proper
答案B
解析 画线部分前提到的the position指代temps“临时工”，结合regard the position as a step on the ladder to…“将临时工作当成……的跳板”可知，应填入“临时工”相反的工作类型，permanent意为“永久的，固定的”为正确答案。A项temporary“暂时的”与语义需求相反；C项appropriate“适当的，恰当的”和D项proper “合适的”填入文中语义虽通顺，但不能与“临时工”形成直接的对比，故排除。
