In the emerging economies, ahigh youth unemployment exists when _________.A、it is easy to hire experienced older workers
B、population growth is already under control
C、a rapid population growth coincides with an inadequate market
D、a brisk labor market coexists with a reduced supply ofwell-trained youth
【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:细节判断题。题干要求判断“新兴经济体年轻人失业率高的原因”。原文第三段主题句是Two factors play a big part.可见这一段是分析原因的段落。其中提到新兴经济体的时候说population growth is fastest in countries with dysfunctional labour markets。dysfunctional一词的意思是“不正常的、不良的”。可见,人口增长过快和劳动力市场不正常是导致年轻人失业率高的原因。选项C中的coincide with是“与…同时发生”的意思,inadequate意为“不充分的”,符合文章意思,因而C是正确答案。
