         They are among the 250,000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that accounts for 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed. A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored(政府資助的) youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies.
　　“We study for jobs that don’t exist.” Nicollete Steggerda, 23, said.
　　After three decades of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has exceeded 11 percent, affecting a total of 12.3 million people, and the number is climbing.
　　The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent. The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.
　　Recent surveys have found that the increasing argument in the last few years over the deployment(布局) in Europe of North Atlantic Treaty Organization missiles and the possibility of nuclear war have clouded European youths’ confidence in the future.
　　One form of protest tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity.
　　Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to resemble Americans more than they do their own parents. Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, each the right, to a standard of living that they see around them.
　　“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the café, and sit and stare.” Said Isabella Gcuit. “There is usually not much conversation. You look for happiness. Sometimes you even find it.”
　　1.Unemployment in the Netherlands has affected ____.
　　A)one million people
　　B)approximately 12.3 million of people
　　C)250,000 people
　　D)roughly 0.6 million people
　　2.What Nicollete Steggerda said(Para.2) suggests that ____.
　　A)school education is not sufficient
　　B)the students’ aim in study is not clear
　　C)the students can’t get work after graduation
　　D)the students lose their motivation in their study
　　3.British youths ____.
　　A)are trying to seek their fortune on the Continent
　　B)are indifferent to the unemployed on the Continent
　　C)have been the first to show their disappointment over joblessness
　　D)are sympathetic to the unemployed in France and Belgium
　　4.The author states all the items listed except ____.
　　A)European youths are worried about a new world war in the future
　　B)Widespread unemployment is beyond European youths’ expectation
　　C)the rock song “No Future” is an expression of the disappointment of European youth
　　D)about 40% of the guest workers are out of work in Western Europe now
　　5.It seems that young Europeans ____.
　　A)are more like Americans than their elders in their way of thinking
　　B)look on life as their elders do
　　C)look more like Americans than their elders do
　　D)expect more from Americans than from their elders
　　答案：
　　1.D)roughly 0.6 million people. 參考原文第一句They are among the 250,000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that accounts for 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed. 250,000≈D×40%
　　2.C) the students can’t get work after graduation. 原文是We study for jobs that don’t exist, 目的很明確, 是為了工作, 所以BD皆錯(cuò); A本文未有提及.
　　3.C) have been the first to show their disappointment over joblessness. 對(duì)應(yīng)原文The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent.
　　4.D) about 40% of the guest workers are out of work in Western Europe now. 如果第一題做對(duì)了, 就知道40%不是the guest workers而是the nation’s unemployed. 其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)皆可對(duì)應(yīng)原文.
　　5.A) are more like Americans than their elders in their way of thinking. 對(duì)應(yīng)原文Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to resemble Americans more than they do their own parents. Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, each the right, to a standard of living that they see around them.
　　參考譯文：
　　荷蘭有25萬(wàn)年齡在25歲以下的失業(yè)者，占全國(guó)失業(yè)人口的40%。在政府資助的青年中心，憤怒的情緒沸沸揚(yáng)揚(yáng)，甚至那些繼續(xù)就讀的學(xué)生也怒火中燒。
　　一個(gè)23歲的青年，尼古萊特•斯蒂格達(dá)說(shuō)，“我們?yōu)楣ぷ鞫鴮W(xué)習(xí)，但卻沒(méi)有工作。”
　　30年的繁榮之后，歐共體十成員國(guó)的失業(yè)率已超過(guò)11%，受影響的人數(shù)達(dá)1230萬(wàn)之多，而且人數(shù)還在上升。
　　英國(guó)青年長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)所表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的極度失望情緒正在歐洲大陸蔓延開(kāi)來(lái)。比利時(shí)和法國(guó)倒閉工廠的磚墻上，寫著一首搖滾樂(lè)的歌名：“沒(méi)有未來(lái)”。
　　近來(lái)的調(diào)查表明，最近幾年，北大西洋公約組織在歐洲的導(dǎo)彈布局引起了越來(lái)越多的爭(zhēng)論，以及核戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)可能爆發(fā)，這些給歐洲青年對(duì)將來(lái)的信心蒙上了一層可怕的陰影。
　　一種形式的抗議傾向于將國(guó)內(nèi)的困難歸咎于來(lái)自第三世界國(guó)家的大量“外來(lái)勞工”，這些勞工曾在西歐的繁榮時(shí)期極受歡迎。
　　有一個(gè)相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮和普遍穩(wěn)定時(shí)期，年輕的歐洲人就成長(zhǎng)在這個(gè)時(shí)期，與其說(shuō)他們像父母更不如說(shuō)像美國(guó)人。物質(zhì)享受給了他們一種期盼感，渴望達(dá)到耳濡目染的生活標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。物質(zhì)享受甚至給了他們權(quán)利，有權(quán)去享受這種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的生活。
　　“就這樣了，我們?cè)诘纤箍莆鑿d打發(fā)時(shí)光。要么在咖啡廳跟人坐坐，可人坐在那，卻呆如木雞。”伊莎貝拉•奎爾說(shuō)，“沒(méi)有什么好說(shuō)的。你去放松放松，有時(shí)真的放松了。”
