参考答案及解析:
1 w6 Y( a3 e* y  _4 O, ?4 o3 q1. percents -%26gt; percent
用percent表示百分数时，只需用基数词加上单数percent即可。
0 A! S4 E. t3 f# s- g  T7 |  ?7 p" F
2. Though -%26gt; But
6 c6 A2 K! @% @1 _( }
- w' q8 Q  E3 {: m6 G  V3. and -%26gt; but
6 k+ Y. |: s" ?4. temporary -%26gt; permanent
7 h8 Y8 ?: Y8 g* i3 W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。
: y, ^& O7 T6 x5. much -%26gt; many
) J9 G  S$ L0 D; g0 k9 p5 K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。
  M; b7 E& j  N. S' ?7 f6. 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。
( `% l1 L8 G4 u7. trend后加that
; n" P5 K) h* e0 V# V* J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。
5 G8 u; t7 N* [9 l0 J/ F8 x8. are -%26gt; were
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。

9. in -%26gt; to
. K; h  L7 E0 ^/ D) U5 {# L, Ceesort to是固定搭配，意为“求助于….，采取”。
10. but -%26gt; and
0 i' i4 B& d5 y; n$ h5 \& z' G  d4 L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。
