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
people,others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers.This is particularly the case in the Middle
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 _________(60)
A:On the contrary
B:In a similar way
C:On the other hand
D:Consequently
答案B
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。
