[分析] 数字信息的找寻和推断。 根据选项中出现的各个数字信息，分别与原文对照，发现选项a和d的内容可与原文第二段第三句“17% of those who do find work—nearly double the historical percentage—are settling for less pay”相对应，即“下岗再就业的人中17%工资较以前有减少，这一数字是历史水平的两倍”，由此可推断，历史记录中有8.5%的再就业者工资比以前有减少；选项b的内容可与第二段第四句“median weekly earnings...fell 1.5%”相对应，选项c的内容可找寻到原文第二段第二句“For the 500,000 workers laid off since January...”将选项数字与原文对照，可知该选项内容与原文不符。因此，选项c是正确答案。 [解题关键] 正确识别数字信息并对之做简单的推断。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
