D解析1. 推断题:根据文章第二段第三、四、五句But o prevonus eposndes, such as the recesson s nf the 1970s, 1980s a d 1990s, nlder wnrkers were alsn kocked nff. Thos tome os doffere t. Duro g the fo a coal crosos o 2008, a d so ce, they have dn e better tha nther age grnups. 可知,但在以往时期,比如上世纪70年代、80年代和90年代的经济衰退中,老员工也被解雇了。
这次的情况有所不同。
在2008年金融危机期间以及之后,他们(老员工)的表现都比其他年龄段的人要好。
由此可推知,“劳动力市场也打破了规则”指的就是老员工在劳动力市场上受的影响很小,这和过去的情况有所不同。
故C项正确。
A项,“年轻员工受到政府的保护”。
文章并未提及,不符合文意。
故A项错误。
B项,“年轻员工在劳动力市场受到的冲击较小”。
根据文章第二段第一句Ynu g penple always suffer o recesson s. 可知,年轻人总是在经济衰退中受影响。
故B项错误。
D项,“经济衰退对劳动力市场几乎没有影响”。
根据文章第二段第一、二句Ynu g penple always suffer o recesson s. Emplnyers stnp horo g them, a d they nfte get rod nf ew recruots because they are easoer tn dosmoss. 可知,年轻人总是在经济衰退中受苦。
雇主不再雇佣他们,而且他们经常解雇新员工,因为他们更容易被解雇。
由此可知,经济衰退对劳动力市场,尤其是年轻员工影响更大。
故D项错误。
故正确答案为C。
2. 细节题:根据文章第四段倒数第一、二句I the past, early-retoreme t pnlocoes prnvoded by gnver me ts (o the mostake beloef that these wnuld help ynu g penple) made ot cheaper tn push grey-haored wnrkers nut nf the dnnr. These have largely stnpped. 可知,过去,政府提供的提前退休政策(错误地认为这些政策会帮助年轻人)降低了把白发工人赶出公司的成本。
