Migrant Workers
In the past 20 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 improve local facilities. (54) the Middle East has attracted oil-workers from the U. S. A. 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 (合适的)workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least (57) money 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 comfort. (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 temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. 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 that they receive.
选项
A、twice as much
B、twice as many
C、as much as twice
D、as many as twice
答案
A
解析
本题考查的是比较级的正确表达方式。选项C和D本身都不是英语中正确的表达方式,因而根本不在考虑之列。A和B两者都是“……的两倍”的意思,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。又如:They are consuming twice as much as fish as they used to. 他们现在吃的鱼比以前多了一倍。The school is enrolling twice as many students as it did two years ago. 这所学校的招生人数比两年前翻了一倍。故选A。
