问题 共用题干 Migrant Workers

In the past twenty years,there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to
another._________(51)some newly independent countries have understandably restricted most jobs to local

East, _______(52)increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to __________(53)outsiders to im-
prove local facilities.__________(54)the Middle East has attracted oil-workers from the USA and Europe.It
has brought in construction workers and technicians from many countries,________(55)South Korea and
Japan.
In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East,it is not___________(56)that
the pay is high to attract suitable workers.Many engineers and technicians can earn at least___________(57)
1money in the Middle East as they can in their own country,and this is a major attraction.An allied benefit
is the low taxation or complete lack of it.This increases the net amount of pay received by visiting workers
and is very popular with them.
Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating advantage.__________(58),the difficult living conditions
often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other____________(59)safety and com-
fort. ___________(60),many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly _________(61)the lack of
entertainment facilities.The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents greater
challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions__________(62)problems rather than do routine work in
their home country.
One major problem which___________(63)migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are tem-
porary ones.They are nearly always on contract,so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confi-
dence.This is to be expected since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent
residents.____________(64),migrant workers accept this disadvantage,along with others,because of the
___________(65)financial benefits which they receive.
选项 _________(54) A:But B:Moreover C:Besides D:Thus
答案 D
解析 四个选项都是语法连词,但意义各异。这个句子的主从句表达了两种不同的情况,即 some newly independent countries和other countries的不同,用whil。来连接表示对比。
这里用where来引导一个非限定性的定语从句,相当于in which,指前面出现的Middle East,而Middle East为地点名词,只有“where”能引导地点,故选B。
call in意思是“引来,招募”,符合句意。call off取消;call up给······打电话;call on 拜访。
thus用来表示结果。前一句讲了中东地区石油收人增加了,这一句要讲的是结果。
这里需要的是一个分词,故include和includes都可以排除。在剩下的两个分词形式 中,应该挑选的是一ing形式,因为其意义是主动的。
这里应该填人的是一个形容词性质的词,surprised是“感到惊奇的”,surprising是“令人 感到惊奇的”,故选D。
选项C和D是错误的表达方式,可以排除。选项A和B都表示“······的两倍”,但区别 是twice as much用于不可数的物质名词,twice as many用于可数名词。money为不可数名词, 故选A。
本段的第一句是主旨句,意思是:有时一个不利之处会得到一个有利之处的补偿。接 下来作者用举例来阐述这个观点,因此应该填For example,以示前后两句在意义上的关联。
depend on意思是“依靠······”,如果后面想表示出在哪一方面依靠别人,就要用介词for 表示。
In a similar way这个句首的状语表明这一句所讲的内容是类似的,实际上这前后两句 话讲的都是生活条件艰苦这一不利之处所带来的好处。
because和because of都表示原因,但是前者要接句子,后者要接短语,故选A。
solution后面习惯上用to这个词。
affect是动词,意思是“影响”,符合句意。effect是名词,意思是“效果”; detect是动词, 意思是“察觉”; reflect是动词,意思是“反映”。
in any case意思是“尽管如此,无论如何”,符合句意。in case万一;in a case和in all cases不是固定的表达方式。
considerable意思是“相当大的,可观的”,符合句意。considerate考虑周到的,体贴的。
