答案解析:
1.B 文章的第一句说的是:在过去的20年里有着一种不断上升的趋势,即工人从一个国家移动到另一个国家。工人从一个国家移动到另一个国家当然是为了找工作。因此下面这句话中填jobs是合适的。cases是个案的意思,activities是活动,uses是使用。
2.D 前面的句子是这么讲的:在中东尤其如此。这是一个地点状语从句,在四个选项中只有where能引起地点状语从句。其他的选项填入后,生成的都是错误的句子。
3.A 来自于哪个国家,英文用from。
4.C 很显然, 整个句子的意思是:中东引进了包括韩国和日本在内的许多国家的工人。因此including是正确的答案。
5.B 所在的句子的意思是:考虑到中东的艰苦的生活和工作条件,用高工资吸引合适的工人也就不奇怪了。条件英语用conditions。role是作用,difficulty是困难,event是事件。这些选项跟句子内容不相关。
6.A 第二段的第二句的意思是:许多工程师和技术员在中东挣的工资至少是在他们自己国家的两倍,这是一个主要的吸引力。可见earn 是合适的选择。
7.D 56中的后一个小句中提到了吸引力。吸引力英语用attraction。
8.C 第三段的第一个句子是这么说的:有时候,不利的地方也可以从有利的地方中得到补偿。这是个主题句。接着应是举例说明。后半个句子说的是:当工人们不得不为了安全和舒服相互依赖时就带来了友谊的增深。这是一种得到补偿的有利的东西,那么前半句空格中应填入的最合适的词显然是difficult。necessary是必须的,normal是正常的,good是好的。这些选项填入后,句子前半部分表达的不是不利的地方,而是有利的地方,跟主题旬不能构成连贯的语段。
9.A 58中已经说到了相互依赖。相互依赖英语用depend on。
10.B 所在句子是对主题句的进一步说明。该旬的意思是:同样地,由于缺乏娱乐的设施,许多迁移来的工人可以积蓄大量的钱。这也是一种补偿。缺乏英语用lack。
11.A 所在句子的意思是:工作往往是复杂的,问题很多,但是,这充其量是对工程师提出了挑战,而工程师们倒是愿意解决问题,而不愿意在自己的国家做一般性的工作。 对提出挑战用presents。
12.B 最后一段的第一句话的意思是:影响来中东的工人的一个主要问题是,他们的工作是临时性的。affects是影响的意思。
13.c 62中谈到的句子是最后一段的主题句。接着应该是说明。所在的句子就是说明。意思是:他们差不多总是订合同的,因而不大可能很有信心地超前安排。合同英语用contract。
14.D 所在句子是对上一个句子的解释。因此用expected是正确的。全句的意思是:这些是在预计之中的, 因为没有一个国家会欢迎许多外国工人成为他们的永久居民。suggested是表明,建议的意思,reported是报道, indicated是表明。 、
15.D 文章的最后一个句子表明,迁移来的工人显得很无奈。整个句子的意思是:不管怎么样,迁移来的工人只能接受这种以及其他方面的不利之处,因为他们得到的经济方面的好处还是很多的。不管怎么样,英文用in any case。
