B
High unemployment is the biggest threat to the global recovery，the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned.Dominique StraussKahn，the IMF's managing director，warned against selfsatisfaction 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 24year 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.StraussKahn said there was “more focus on unemployment and unfairness” in the IMF.
Rising food prices also hold back the global recovery，both Mr.StraussKahn 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

【答案】 C
7．What does the underlined sentence probably mean?

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】 句意理解题。根据画线句前“This is now certainly a recovery with not enough jobs，...”以及画线句可知，现在的情况是没有足够工作的经济复苏，而这种情况对于年轻人来说可能会转变成为一种“无期徒刑”。由此可知，画线句的含义是“对于年轻人来说，没有足够工作这种情况会持续很长时间”。
