选项 57._________
A:twice as much
B:twice as many
C:as much as twice
D:as many as twice
答案A
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somenewlyindependentcountries和othercountries的不同，用while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inwhich，指前面出现的MiddleEast，而MiddleEast为地点名词，只有“where”能引导地点，故选B。
callin意思是“引来，召集”，符合句意。calloff取消；callup给……打电话；callon请求，号召。
thus用来表示结果。前一句讲了中东地区石油收入的增加使许多国家有能力召集外来的劳工，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，应该选择-ing形式，因为其表示主动意义。
这里应该填入的是一个形容词性质的词，surprised是“感到惊奇的”，常用来指人。sur-prising是“令人感到惊奇的”，一般用来形容物，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twiceasmuch用于不可数的物质名词，twiceasmany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：有时一个不利会得到一个有利的补偿。接下来作者用例子来阐述这个观点，因此应该填Forexample，以示前后两句在意义上的关联。
dependon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。
Inasimilarway这个句首的状语表明这一句所讲的内容与前一句是类似的，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的一面。
because和becauseof都表示原因，但是前者要接句子，后者要接短语，故选A。
solution习惯上与to这个介词相搭配。
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”。
inanycase意思是“不管怎样，无论如何”，符合句意。incase以防万一；inacase和inallcases均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。
