　　High unemployment is the biggest threat to the global recovery，the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned.Dominique Strauss-Kahn，the IMF's managing director，warned against self-satisfaction as he pointed out “we are still in a crisis” in spite of the improving economic conditions.The key to steady growth of economy，he said，would be jobs.

　　“A year ago，my worry was a recovery without jobs.This is now certainly a recovery with not enough jobs，”he said.“For_the_young，there_is_now_a_risk_that_will_turn_into_a_life_sentenee.”

　　Britain is one of several developed nations facing high levels of joblessness.Total unemployment is running at 7.8%，but one in five 16 to 24-year olds is out of work and the percentage is still rising，according to the Office for National Statistics.In Italy，youth unemployment is running at about 30% and at 43% in Spain.The US announced a 27,000 increase in a weekly unemployment report on Thursday，and unemployment is running at 8.8%.

　　Mentioning the disturbing state in the Middle East and North Africa，he added，“Inclusive growth—sharing the benefits of economic growth fairly，not enough of which is a threat to that growth，is very important.We have to care about more inclusive growth.We need more than growth；we need active policies.”Mr.Strauss-Kahn said there was “more focus on unemployment and unfairness” in the IMF.

　　Rising food prices also hold back the global recovery，both Mr.Strauss-Kahn and World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned.Mr.Zoellick said food prices were in the “danger zone”，pushing 44 millon people into poeverty.Rising prices have been driven by the changing diet of the rising middle classes in new markets.The problem is being “made worse” by businessmen and traders.

　　He also mentioned some countries' food investment policies.An Asian country has bought huge areas of fields in Africa to grow enough food to feed its growing middle class.

　　6．According to the passage，with the recovery of economy，governments should ________.

　　A．remember the sufferings of the economic crisis

　　B．be satisfied and pleased with the achievements

　　C．find methods to deal with high unemployment rates

　　D．improve working conditions to protect their workers

　　【解析】　推理判斷題。根據第一段“High unemployment is the biggest threat to the global recovery，...The key to steady growth of economy，he said，would be jobs.”可知，高失業率是全球經濟復蘇所面臨的最大威脅，而Dominique Strauss-Kahn認為穩定經濟增長的關鍵是工作。由此推斷，隨著經濟的復蘇，各國政府應當找到方法來解決高失業率問題。

　　【答案】　C

　　7．What does the underlined sentence probably mean?

　　A．More young people will be given a life sentence.

　　B．There will be more young people breaking the law in the future.

　　C．The government's law and rules are too long for the young.

　　D．It will be a long time before there are enough jobs for the young.

　　【解析】　句意理解題。根據畫線句前“This is now certainly a recovery with not enough jobs，...”以及畫線句可知，現在的情況是沒有足夠工作的經濟復蘇，而這種情況對于年輕人來說可能會轉變成為一種“無期徒刑”。由此可知，畫線句的含義是“對于年輕人來說，沒有足夠工作這種情況會持續很長時間”。

　　【答案】　D

　　8．The author takes Britain，Italy and Spain for example to ________.

　　A．remind other countries to avoid the same problem

　　B．show that the unemployment rate of the young is high

　　【解析】　細節理解題。根據第三段中的數據可知，在英國20%的年輕人失業并且所占比例仍在上升；在意大利，年輕人失業率達到30%；在西班牙，年輕人失業率達到43%。由此可知，年輕人失業率很高。
