问题     Since its conception, the European Union has been a haven
for those seeking refuge of war, persecution and poverty in other【M1】______
parts of the world. But as the EU faces what Angela Merkel has
been called its toughest hour since the second world war, the tables【M2】______
appear to be turning. A new stream of immigrants is leaving the【M3】______
continent. It threatens to become a torrent when the debt crisis【M4】______
continues to worsen.
    Tens of thousands of Portuguese, Greek and Irish people have
left their homelands this year, many headed for the southern【M5】______
hemisphere. Anecdotal evidence points to same happening in【M6】______
Spain and Italy. This year, 2,500 Greek citizens have moved to
Australia and another 40,000 have " expressed interests" in moving【M7】______
south. Ireland’ s central statistics office has projected that 50,000
people have left the republic by the end of the year, many for【M8】______
Australia and the US. Portugal’s foreign ministry reports that at least
10,000 people have left to oil-rich Angola. On 31 October,【M9】______
there were 97,616 Portuguese people registered in the consulates
in Luanda and Benguela, almost double the number in 2005. The
Portuguese are also heading to other former colonies, such as
Mozambique and Brazil. According to Brazilian government
figures, the number of foreigners legally living in Brazil rose to
1.47 million in June, up more than 50% from 961,877 last
December. Not all are Europeans, but the number of Portuguese
alone have jumped from 276,000 in 2010 to nearly 330,000.【M10】______
【M1】
选项
答案of—from
解析 词汇错误。seek refuge from是固定词组，意为“躲避”。故应把of改为from。
