参考答案及解析:

; P, P% s4 G1 m- ~9 C' f用percent表示百分数时，只需用基数词加上单数percent即可。

* d$ S% C- r, Z+ S5 }1 t, _9 N1 Y4. temporary -%26gt; permanent
根据句意：尽管有300万个新的工作职位，但长久的工作岗位是不足够的。temporary意为“临时的，暂时的”，permanent意为“永久的，固定的”，根据but和not enough可知应该是没有足够的长久工作岗位。
5. much -%26gt; many
" w) O) x  c. X0 c) M: p此处的many修饰前面的jobs，相当于almost as many (jobs) as in the recession year of 1991。由于job是可数名词，故应该用many修饰。
) X% n5 a. E' r* g" x5 b1 ]6. couraged -%26gt; discouraged
根据上下文，短期的工作使工人失望，所以应该使用discouraged。
7. trend后加that
此处trend后是一个完整的句子，根据意思这句话是解释说明trend的同位语从句，故要加上引导词that。注：同位语从句的that不能省略。
/ N( a  q4 R6 F2 K, m- B8. are -%26gt; were
; V0 o/ ~0 k* v# }. x根据整篇文章的时态和主句的谓语动词found out可知此处要用过去时。

6 Z& \, k4 [( M3 p9 W9. in -%26gt; to
9 q1 X. S9 n* y3 Ceesort to是固定搭配，意为“求助于….，采取”。
4 b3 a+ J0 h9 O7 o. `8 w10. but -%26gt; and
- M9 O! f& y4 m0 O: R7 B此句句意为“很多人都会做工资少、福利少和低职位的临时工”。 此处lower pay, fewer benefits 和less status都属于同级，因此应该是并列关系而不是转折关系。
