选项 57._________
A:twice as much
B:twice as many
C:as much as twice
D:as many as twice
答案A
解析本句中的前半部分和后半部分的内容属于对比的关系，故用while来连接。
此空处所引导的是一个非限定性定语从句，来修饰之前的地点名词the Middle East，故此处用where来引导，相当于in which。
call in的含义为“召集，召来”，用在此处最为合适。call off取消；call up给……打电话；call on邀请，拜访。
该空处前一句的内容是本空所在句子的原因，故此处用thus（因此）来表示顺承关系。
此空之前的成分是一个完整的句子结构，故此空处要用非谓语动词来引导之后的成分。including用在名词或代词之前，而included则用在名词或代词之后，故本题选C。
it is surprising that…为固定用法，表达的意思是“令人惊讶的是……”。surprised则一般用来修饰人，表示“感到惊讶的”。
英语中在表达倍数时，常用的一个句型是“倍数+a s…as …”的结构。故本题选A。
第三段第一句说有时一个缺陷会有一个优点来补偿，下文接着举例进行说明。故此处用For example。
此空后面的内容是之前内容的目的，故用for来表目的。
该空之后的内容和之前的内容都为不利生活条件中的优点。故用in a similar way，意为“相似地”。
由句子含义可知，此处需要一个表示原因的引导成分，又因该空之后的内容是一个词组，而不是一个完整的句子，故只能用because of来引导。
solution一般和介词to连用构成solution to the problem或solution to problems的结构。故本题选D。
affect意为“影响”，在此，效果处符合文意，表示“影响中东地区外来工人的一个主要问题是……”。effect为名词，意为“影响，效果”; detect察觉，发现；reflect反映。
in any case意为“无论如何，不管怎样”，在此处符合文意。in case意为“假如，万一”。英语中不存在in all cases和in a case的固定用法。
considerable意为“相当大（多）的”，用在此处符合文意。considerable financial benefits就表示“可观的经济收益”。considerate体贴的，体谅的；considered和considering则分别为consider的过去分词和现在分词形式。
